Atticus’ POV:
I almost couldn’t believe my ears. I stared at Eloise in the video and almost forgot to retort.
How could she say that? Did she say that to get my attention?
“Are you still listening? I hope we can finalize some specific matters as soon as possible.” She coughed a few times.
I returned to reality.
“I don’t want to hold you from your work, so I think maybe we can still…”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” I interrupted her.
“You don’t know what consequences your words will cause.”
“No, I’m very clear. I’ve seriously considered everything I’m doing now.” She sounded very serious. I now believed that she wanted to divorce me.
But why would she divorce me? If we must end our marriage, she shouldn’t be the one to suggest it.
Could it be that the person we saw that day was her new lover?
But I didn’t think she could betray me. After all, I was still her Alpha and even her mate. She was such a coward, so she would not do that.
She must have used all her strength to threaten me.
“As much as we don’t want to admit it, you’re still the real Luna in this pack. If you wish to leave, you will be exiled from the pack,” I tried to explain to her.
“That’s no different from putting you on a wanted list.”
It was very complicated and dangerous, and I didn’t think she was prepared to face it.
‘You’re trying to make her stay.’ My wolf sneered in my mind.
‘No matter how complicated the issue is, you can solve it. But you still want her to stay by your side.
‘If you don’t have to use your instincts to consider these questions, I’ll listen to your opinion.’ I shouted in my mind.
I tried to get my wolf to listen to my opinion, but it just closed its mouth. He even gave me a cold snort.
I had to give up on trying to convince it.
“Yes, so the first problem is the property.” On the other end of the phone, she sounded very confident.
“We must ensure that our property is properly divided so I can continue my life.”
This was very strange. I think she was worried about many things, which led to her lack of confidence in everything said. But how did things turn out like this?
“If you want to discuss these things, you should talk to my lawyer, not me.” I was suddenly curious.
“Or are you just trying to talk to me?”
This was a common situation between mates. I thought it was very normal. However, Eloise remained silent for a moment before hanging up.
I didn’t think anything was wrong with what I said, so I didn’t call back. But the busy tone on the phone still made me confused.
‘Maybe you can consider explaining it to her.’ My wolf suggested in my mind.
‘I don’t have the time. She’s not the only thing I need to be concerned about.’ I frowned and looked at the table in front of me.
Our pack was close to the human settlement area, so there were always many unexpected events. Right now, I was kept busy because of this.
These things were bothering me. I didn’t have the mood to care about what happened to her.
“We can’t divorce now because this is a critical moment.” I looked at the printed paper that still smelled of ink.
Because very soon, we would be cooperating with a human family. It would be better for us with Eloise around, even if she didn’t show up.
‘Fine, but I think it’s just an excuse.’ My wolf continued. ‘Think whatever you want.’ I tried to ignore his thoughts.
But no matter what, I wouldn’t let her leave now.
It was almost time for the meeting. I put down my phone and walked to the meeting room. Lisa was sitting not far away and waving at me.
It would be great if Eloise were this obedient.
But I knew that she wouldn’t. She’d bring me all kinds of trouble. She’d always been like this..
