The Alpha’s Rebellious Fiancee novel Chapter 25

Lyra (Seraphina)

He was gone before I even woke up. No note. No sound. No trace.

Just cold sheets and an aching body that still remembered the way he touched me, the way he kissed me like I was the only thing that ever made him feel alive.

And now?

Gone.

After he fucked my brains out and whispered things I shouldn’t have let myself believe… he just disappeared like it meant nothing.

Again.

I sat at the edge of the bed for a long time, wrapped in silence and the blanket that still smelled like him.

And I hated it.

I hated the confusion in my chest, the way my heart felt like it was being pulled in two directions—one begging me to believe he cared, the other screaming at me to run before he breaks me completely.

I needed air.

The forest was quiet as I wandered through the trees, cool morning light filtering through the leaves. I walked aimlessly, trying to calm the storm in my head.

But nothing helped. Not the wind. Not the birds. Not even the distance I was putting between us. My thoughts were louder than ever.
