SAVED BY THE LYCAN KING (Elisa) novel Chapter 9

ALPHA JACKSON'S POV

I couldn’t believe it. Elisa had the audacity to demand a divorce.

I was filled with so many emotions - anger and confusion, as I searched for her after the ball. How dare she? I had sent her a text and she didn’t even bother to respond.

My wolf was just as furious, pacing restlessly in my mind, urging me to find her and demand an explanation. I stormed back into the ballroom, scanning the faces of the remaining guests. She was nowhere to be seen.

The clock was ticking past midnight, and she still hadn't returned home. This was the first time Elisa had stayed out this late, and it disturbed me, making my blood boil. Gina stayed by my side and offered words of comfort.

“Jackson, she’ll come back. She probably just needs some time to cool off,” Gina said gently. This was the reason I admired Gina. Even after everything Elisa did to her, she still tried to defend her sister. Gina placed a hand on my arm, but it did little to reduce my anger.

“I don’t understand why she’s doing this,” I said, clenching my fists. “How dare she think she can just walk away?” What got into Elisa? She never had the guts to do this before. If anyone should be demanding a divorce, it should be me. I was the Alpha. I was the one in charge.

Gina sighed. “Elisa’s been through a lot, sweetie. Maybe she just needs to sort things out on her own. But don’t worry, I’m here for you.” We got back to the palace. Instead of resting after such a long day, I paced the living room, unable to calm the annoyance I felt.

Gina sat on one of the couches, watching me. “Jackson, please sit down. You’re going to wear yourself out,” she said.

“I can’t just sit here, Gina! She’s out there somewhere, and she’s not answering her phone" Gina shrugged "Maybe she's with someone else"

I stopped in my tracks and looked at her. "What the hell did you say?" I asked her.

"I'm just saying. I mean, think about it. Why else would she ask for a divorce? Maybe she's with another man" I thought about it. The more I did, the more my blood boiled inside me.

The thought of Elisa with another man made me annoyed. It made my wolf want to come out of my cage. She wouldn't dare. Or would she? Elisa was mine. If I found out she was with another man, I'd.... Wait... Why do I care? I could care less if she lived or not. Right?

The hours went by and still, Elisa had not returned. It was already late, and I couldn’t help but wonder where she was and what she was doing Feelings of jealousy began to creep into my mind but I quickly shook them off. I convinced myself that I didn’t care.

After all, I had no real feelings for Elisa.
