After I Died, the Alpha Who Abandoned Me Lost His Mind Chapter 06

Adrian abruptly cut off my apology.

He grabbed my arm and hauled me to my feet.

“Do you even realize what you’re doing? Who told you to kneel?”

Only then did I notice that his entire body had been trembling.

Beneath the heavy cedar scent was a bitter note that appeared only when a werewolf was in unbearable pain.

I could not understand why he was reacting like this.

“Wasn’t that what you told me to do? You told me to kneel and apologize to her. Are you satisfied now? Can I have my wages back? I need the full $3,200. If you refuse to give me all of it, then at least give me $1,000.”

At the mention of money, the fury in Adrian’s eyes burned even hotter.

“You came back to me just for money? And only a thousand dollars?”

I froze.

What else could I possibly have come for?

For the man who had driven me to the brink again and again?

I nodded.

His control slipped even further.

“Money. Money. Money. Did you think about me even once? Do you have any idea how I lived through those six years? If you’d just given in, I could have…”

Selena suddenly cried out, cutting him off.

“Adrian, the bracelet my father left me is missing again. I clearly remember putting it here just a moment ago. I was going to take it to the memorial park when I visited him today.”

Adrian immediately released me and turned to soothe Selena as her breathing grew rapid.

“Don’t panic. No one else has been in here. The bracelet must still be somewhere in this room.”

Selena clutched her chest and shot me a malicious glance.

“But besides you and me, Erin has been here too.”

She suddenly rushed toward me and pleaded, “Erin, I know you hate me. You don’t want me near Adrian, so

I’ll leave. Just please give the bracelet back. It’s the only thing my father left me. You want money, don’t you? I’ll give you everything I have.”

She frantically opened her wallet.

“It’s $3,200, right? I’ll give you $30,000. You can have all of it. Please, just give me the bracelet back.”

I could not endure another second of it.

I slapped her across the face.

“How long are you going to keep framing me? I’ve never done anything to you. Why do you get to lie about

me again and again?”

Selena immediately pretended to be terrified and hid behind Adrian, sobbing.

Adrian’s eyes turned cold once more.

It was the warning sign that always came before his rage.

He kicked over the plant stand beside him and unleashed the full force of his Alpha pressure, nearly driving

me to the floor.

At that moment, my phone chimed.

A message had arrived from Blue Pearl Animal Hospital.

[Ms. Carter, there is no need to make the payment. Mochi suffered an acute attack of pancreatitis a short while ago and could not be resuscitated. Mochi has passed away.]

There was a photograph beneath the message.

Mochi lay curled up on a treatment pad, eyes closed forever.

My entire body went numb.

The little dog who had always looked at me with gentle eyes and protected me through the darkest nights

was dead.

I had nothing left to live for.

At some point, Adrian had forced me all the way back to the open window.

The night wind rushed in from twenty stories above the ground, chilling me to the bone.

He stood in front of me and ordered coldly, “Give her the bracelet back. Erin, why do you keep doing this? Are you determined to make me punish you again? No matter which city you run to, I can still make sure you

can’t survive there.”

Suddenly, I knew there was no point in explaining anymore.

I pushed him away and said calmly, “Don’t bother. I’ll die on my own right now.”

I pointed at Selena, who stood behind him with naked malice written across her face.

“But remember this. I never touched anything of hers, not the bracelet and not you. Now the thought of either

of you makes me sick.”

With Adrian watching, I climbed over the windowsill and jumped from the twentieth floor.

As I fell, I heard him roaring behind me, completely out of control.

His wolf howled my name.

But none of it mattered anymore.

I was going to find Mochi.

I was afraid that if I arrived too late, I would never catch up to Mochi.
