"Sorry, Chloe. I really have an emergency!" After ten years of dating, my Alpha mate, Aiden Rothschild, made yet another excuse about handling pack affairs and left halfway through our candlelit dinner. Then, I saw a post by Aiden’s childhood sweetheart, Lana, on social media. In the photo, Aiden was gently holding her foot. [Twisted my ankle a little while cleaning the roof. It got better quickly, but Aiden still rushed over the moment he heard. No matter when I need you, you're always there. That's the reason I feel more blessed than any other woman!] In the past, I would’ve definitely confronted Aiden in anger, only to be scolded for being unreasonable. This time, though, I numbly finished my own meal in silence. I had promised my mentor I would soon leave for a secluded healing assignment in the Northern Territory. It wasn’t until I got in the car to leave the pack and tried to say goodbye to Aiden one last time that I received a video from Lana. It was her and Aiden playing Truth or Dare, calling each other "baby". I wiped away my tears and simply replied, "As long as you’re having fun." However, Aiden panicked. His eyes were red as he messaged me: [Chloe, why aren’t you even mad after seeing that? Do you even love me anymore?!] He tried to confront me in person, only to realize he couldn’t find me anywhere. That day, he completely broke down.

I Stopped Caring, He Started Panicking Chapter 8
The tenth time Aiden broke into the silver dust zone, he knew he was playing a dangerous game.The first time, he had only been mildly poisoned and was easily treated by a standard healer.However, when he didn’t see the familiar figure he longed for during treatment, he ventured deeper the second time."Maybe if I get hurt badly enough, she’ll appear..." he murmured to himself, charging into the toxic zone again and again. Each time, his injuries worsened. Yet every time, it was someone else who treated him.By the fifth time, he was coughing up blood. By the seventh, his skin was riddled with burns from the silver dust, festering and raw.Still, he refused to give up because deep down, he knew that she was hidden somewhere in this facility.This time, he threw himself into the densest part of the toxic zone with something close to a death wish. The silver dust surged into his lungs. Just before he lost consciousness, he caught a fleeting trace of a familiar scent.When he awok

Aiden had finally found the location of the northern quarantine healing facility.It was situated five kilometers upwind of the silver dust contamination zone, specifically chosen for its proximity to the rescue routes while ensuring the medical staff remained safe from exposure. It was a clever choice—close enough to save lives, yet far enough to protect those doing the saving.He had searched everywhere. Every corner of the pack. Nearby towns. Even the places Chloe had once casually mentioned in conversation. Now, only this one place remained unexplored.As he approached the front gate, a faint scent drifted past his nose—familiar and fleeting.Her scent. That gentle herbal fragrance that was uniquely Chloe’s.It vanished as quickly as it came, like a phantom in the wind."She’s here," Aiden whispered to himself, clenching his fists.Inside the facility, I was applying a special ointment to my skin, one that could completely mask my scent. It had been prepared by Elder Healer

The next day, Lana and Mark were cast out of the pack.A torrential downpour soaked the earth as the guards forced them to the border."This is all your fault!" Mark shoved Lana hard, his voice full of fury. "If you hadn’t gotten so cocky, we wouldn’t have been caught!"Lana stumbled and fell into the mud, staring up at him in disbelief. This was the same man who had once whispered sweet nothings into her ear and promised her the world."But... but you said you’d take care of me..."Mark laughed coldly. "Take care of you? What do you even have to offer, besides your body? You don’t even have a wolf, and you really thought you could be Luna? Don’t make me laugh."With that, he turned and walked away without a second glance.It was then that Lana finally realized he had never cared for her. She had been nothing but a pawn he used to gain access to the pack’s resources. Now, without the protection of the pack and a wolf of her own, Lana was left to fend for herself.She drifted fr

Aiden stood alone in the empty room.On the table lay her Luna insignia, a silver pocket watch engraved with "To my dearest Alpha. Forever yours, Chloe", and a signed mate bond dissolution agreement.She was gone.He stared at the items, frozen in place, as the truth settled over him like a heavy fog.Then, he snapped.He bolted out the door, tearing through the compound like a man possessed, searching every street and every corner of the pack for any sign of her. Rain poured down, soaking through his clothes, turning the dirt roads into muck, but he didn’t stop.That’s when he saw a familiar figure slip into the alley behind the tavern—Lana. Maybe she knew where Chloe went.He followed... and what he saw under the moonlight stopped him cold.Lana was wrapped around a man, her clothes rumpled, her lips parted in a breathless sigh.The man had one arm around her waist, the other trailing kisses across her bare shoulder, leaving a path of bruised skin in his wake. Lana tilted he

Lately, Aiden seemed frustrated with how distant I had become.He started leaving early in the morning and coming home late at night, deliberately avoiding me. He even severed our mate link. Just like that.I sat by the window, watching moonlight spill across the floor, a dull ache blooming in my chest.Part of me wanted to chase after him and demand answers like I used to. However, with our impending separation, maybe this quiet distance was for the best.Then, five nights later, he suddenly asked, "Will you go with me to the Full Moon Gathering this time?"I nearly bit my tongue. When I looked up, there was actual hope in his eyes.Sure, Aiden had brought me to pack events before, but this wasn’t just another gathering. This was the Full Moon ritual, a private circle reserved only for the ones closest to him. It wasn’t about the ceremony itself; it was about who got to be there. Only a few of his oldest, most trusted friends were allowed to join. Even their mates weren’t usually i

On a stormy night, three days later, Aiden stumbled through the front door.He was soaked head to toe, water dripping from his clothes, and his lips were pale from the cold. His whole body was shivering slightly. He looked at me straight on, eyes filled with raw anticipation."I just fought off an intruder in the pouring rain. Not a scratch on me."I looked at him quietly and said in a soft voice, "Then, go take a hot shower."Something about the way he looked reminded me of the day I first fell in love with him.Back then, I had gotten lost alone in the woods near the border. My foot was bleeding and swollen from being caught in a trap. The night was pitch black with no moon, just the distant growls of wild animals and the wind cutting through the trees.As I was curled up on the ground, pain and fear crashed over me like a wave.Then, Aiden showed up. He had tracked me by scent, fought off two rogues with nothing but his bare hands, and carried me all the way back to the pack with
