After My Death, My Boyfriend Regretted It

My mate's adoptive sister asked me to go for a walk in the mountain forest and we encountered a sudden flash flood.

My mate Nathan, the Alpha of Snow Peak pack, rushed to save us.

But because we were both trapped on a breaking tree branch above the raging flood, he could only save one person at a time.

To save his physically weak adoptive sister, my mate abandoned me - his Luna who was five months pregnant.

I begged him desperately to save me.

He watched as the flood waters dragged me under.

"Sarah has always been weak since childhood. If we leave her here, she'll die."

"Your wolf is strong enough to swim, but Sarah can't swim."

But after my death, he went mad.

……

When Nathan arrived at the flood site, Sarah and I were clinging desperately to an ancient oak tree's thick branch, suspended above the raging waters.

Half of my body was already in the water. The current pulled at my legs mercilessly, making it nearly impossible to maintain my grip. Sharp pain shot through my abdomen, and I knew something was terribly wrong with the baby.

I hadn't heard Sarah's voice in a while and grew worried. Even though my situation was dire, I still tried to comfort her. She was lying flat on the branch, in a much safer position than mine.

"Sarah, don't be afraid. Your brother will come save us soon."

Although Nathan and I were in the middle of a cold war after fighting about Sarah this morning, I believed he would come. I was carrying his pup after all.

Even if he didn't love me, I thought he would at least care about his unborn child.

But I overestimated how much the baby and I meant to him.

The flood waters were too swift for boats. The rescue team had only one option - to wade through with safety ropes, saving us one at a time.

When faced with choosing who to save first, he coldly told me:

"I have to save Sarah first."

"What?" I stared at him in disbelief as the water continued to pull at my body. His voice remained emotionless.

"Nora, I need you to understand. Sarah has always been weak. If I save you first, she might die. I can't watch her die."

My arms were shaking from the long, hard grip on the branch. The branch had been making an ominous crunching sound.

"Listen to me when we rescue Sarah, they'll go on to rescue you. You're Luna, and you're usually fit and strong, and I trust you, honey."

I tried hard not to cry, but my voice still trembled. The current was getting stronger by the minute.

"Nathan, you can't do this. I can wait, but our baby can't. Please!"

"No."

"Nathan, please don't do this. Our pup will really die." I looked at him in desperate anguish as my fingers began to slip.

"Nora, if you lose the pup, consider it payback to Sarah. You caused her to lose her pup before, so now you can repay that debt."

"Besides, whether that pup is even mine, you know very well. I'll just pretend that bastard never existed."

The coldness in his voice made my whole body shake. I tried to explain through chattering teeth.

"How could this baby not be yours? Back then I didn't..."

But before I could finish, my numb fingers finally lost their grip. The raging waters pulled me under instantly.

The current tossed me like a rag doll. Water filled my lungs as I desperately tried to surface. In my panic, I could feel my pup's distress through our bond.

The murky waters spun me around until I lost all sense of direction. My lungs burned for air. The last thing I saw through the churning water was Nathan pulling Sarah to safety, not even looking in my direction.

My heart froze like ice as consciousness faded. I had loved him for seven years, and with our unborn pup, but still meant less to him than Sarah.

He even claimed the baby wasn't his just to justify saving Sarah first.

And so I died, my body surrendering to the flood. My spirit floated in the air, watching Sarah being rescued.

My mate held Sarah with pure joy of having her back, wrapping her in warm blankets.

His pack member seemed unable to watch this and quietly reminded him:

"Alpha, Luna was swept away by the flood, what are we going to do?"

"Then keep looking. What's the point of telling me?"Nathan's look was annoyed, "Don't worry, her wolf can swim, she's good in the water, she'll be fine. "

Hearing these heartless words from my mate, my soul ached with cold. I was his Luna, the mother of his pup, yet my life meant nothing to him.

It was as if I wasn't fighting for my life, but just out for a casual walk.

"Brother, I was so scared. I thought I'd never see you again. My stomach hurts - please take me to the pack doctor. I'm worried about my condition." Sarah turned pale, looking pitiful.

"Don't worry, little wolf, I'll take you to see the doctor right away."

Just like that, he carried Sarah away. He left so decisively, not even glancing back once at the waters where his "missing" Luna had disappeared.

At that moment, I felt a strange relief in being dead. If I were still alive, how could I face this betrayal?
