Chapter 7 52 % 55 vouchers It was morning and a new day . Aiden , who had left the house the night before , finally returned home . He had walked away after rejecting Amelia , and she had accepted it without hesitation . He hadn't expected her to , not that easily . But she surprised him . She didn't fight . She let him go just like that . A painful surge ran through his chest as he stood frozen at the entrance , staring into the house . The maids moved about silently , but none dared speak to him . He could almost see Eva running into his arms like she always did when he came back from work . He closed his eyes , willing the image away , and forced himself inside . Slowly , he made his way up the stairs .. He passed Eva's room and paused . His hand hovered over the doorknob . For a moment , he hesitated but then , without thinking , he pushed the door open . He stepped in , his eyes scanning the room . Everything was still in place . Her toys . Her bed . Her tiny shoes . Her books . A soft pink sweater lay folded at the edge of her pillow . Tears welled in his eyes . E Eva had always been a daddy's girl . Everything Aiden liked was what she loved . She was his little twin , the light of his life , and he had failed her . She died eating food his own wife had prepared . The thought made him sick . He crouched , picking up her sweater . He brought it close to his nose , inhaling the scent . A sob escaped his throat , and he shut his eyes briefly , trying to block out the guilt tearing through him . She was supposed to be the future Alpha . He and Amelia had stopped trying for more kids after the complications . Eva was his world . Now she was gone . He wiped his tears quickly and stood , exiting the room like a ghost , then stepped into the master bedroom . The moment he opened the door , he froze . The closet was wide open , Amelia's side of the wardrobe was empty . She was gone . Reality crashed down on him like a wave . His chest tightened as he looked around the room , still soaked in her scent . His wolf whimpered inside , broken , refusing to speak to him since the rejection . The pain was unbearable . He collapsed onto the bed , dragging a hand through his hair . Maybe it was for the best . After all... she killed Eva . Didn't she ? He didn't want to believe it , but everything pointed at her . Amelia had cooked the meal that poisoned their daughter . No one else was around . And Sofia ... Sofia had been right all along . Amelia had sent men to kill her after they got married . She survived . Now she tried to kill their daughter and she didn't . He didn't want to believe Sofia had first , but he had done some investigations and found out Amelia had sent money to a strange account when they got married . He realized it was the payment for the men she sent to kill Sofia . He sighed . At least it was over . At least Amelia was gone . 1/3 52 % 1 Chapter 7 He stood up , heading for the bathroom to wash off the grief , when a paper on the dresser caught his attention . He picked it up . His heart dropped .

His hands trembled with rage . But something else caught his eye . Another paper sat beside it . He reached for it , confused ― and the moment he read it , his entire body froze . It was a pregnancy test result . Amelia was pregnant . His breath caught in his throat . He just stood there , staring . His fingers tightened around the paper . Amelia is pregnant . With his child . His mind spun . She never told him . But then he remembered , that night she decorated the room , the candles , the flowers , the excitement in her voice . She was trying to tell him . He didn't listen . He rejected her . He had thrown her out , broken her , thinking she murdered their daughter , while she carried their next child . Aiden let out a shaky breath as guilt consumed him . He pulled out his phone , immediately dialing James . " Alpha ? " came James's voice on the other end . " James , " Aiden's voice cracked , " I need you to find my wife ." There was a pause . " What wife , Alpha ? " " Amelia . My Luna ." " You have to be joking , or drunk . Aiden , you rejected her . You asked for a divorce . She's gone . " " I know , " Aiden said quickly . " I know ... but I made a mistake . She's pregnant , James . She's carrying my baby . " " What ? " James sounded stunned .
