Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 7

“What exactly do you want?” Christopher probed, his voice laced with annoyance with Ethan’s indecisiveness.

“Even if you found Hazel, what would you do?” he continued, urging Ethan to confront the implications of his actions.

With a heavy sigh, Christopher gracefully exited the office, leaving Ethan alone with his thoughts. Just as Christopher departed, Bella stormed into the room, narrowly avoiding a collision with him on the

way.

“I want to be alone,” Ethan declared, his voice laden with a sense of weariness and frustration.

“What?” Bella inquired, moving closer, her genuine concern evident. “What’s wrong? Did something happen at work? You can tell me anything,” she insisted, circling around to where he sat. She reached out to touch his shoulder, but Ethan abruptly shrugged her off. “Please leave,” he said, his patience wearing thin, his voice tinged with exasperation. “But…” Bella began to protest, determined to understand what was troubling him. “Now!” he yelled, his emotions finally breaking through the surface.

“You’re thinking about your ex, aren’t you? This is blatant disrespect, after what she did to me. Now you’re even pushing me away!” Bella retorted, her frustration and anger spilling over, her deep–seated resentment for Hazel resurfacing. Even though Hazel had

disappeared, her presence still lingered, haunting their relationship. Ethan’s inability to move on fueled Bella’s irritation.

Ethan remained silent, caught in his inner turmoil, and unable to articulate his feelings. “You want to be alone? Fine! I’ll leave your house. I’ll leave and never come back. Go find your precious Hazel. I’m nob*dy anyway,” she said, turning to leave. She paused at the door. hoping and expecting Ethan to chase after her, as he always did. She often guilt–tripped him and threatened to leave whenever he got lost in thoughts of his ex–wife. However, today was different. Ethan remained seated quietly, his decision firm and unwavering.

“Go to your room, Bella, and remain there,” he finally commanded, his tone resolute. With an annoyed sigh, Bella slammed the door behind her, her brashness a reflection of her mounting frustration.

Inside the room, Ethan’s fists clenched in anger. Bella had become increasingly challenging. acting like a brat, and testing his patience.

She would make threats like that whenever she didn’t have her way, but now he was too fatigued and stressed to give in to her demands. The strain in their relationship was clear. and even members of his pack had begun to voice their dissatisfaction, longing for his former wife and Luna, Hazel.
