Alpha King's Fake Mate Wants Out Chapter 12
The next morning, sunlight streamed across the bed.I moved my fingers, only to feel like my entire body was falling apart. I had gone through two intense "workouts" in the study and bedroom yesterday.Ethan—that wolf who'd been starving for three years—clearly didn't understand the concept of moderation.A wave of self-pity washed over me.I had initially wanted to break the mate bond to save my own life. Now that the air was cleared and our feelings were soaring, I felt like I was closer to an early grave than ever.Clearly, the only way to protect my health was to break the bond!"What are you thinking about?"A lazy, deep voice drifted from behind me. Ethan pulled me into a hug and nuzzled the back of my neck.Damn that werewolf constitution! He was the one doing all the work, yet why was he the one waking up looking totally refreshed?"N-Nothing," I replied, shrinking back.If he knew I was thinking about breaking the bond to protect my health, he'd probably make me pull

As I looked at Ethan's desperate attempt to compromise just to keep me, I felt a pang of heartache mixed with a touch of amusement.I pulled out my burner phone and the cologne-scented shirt and tossed them at him."Here," I said. "Meet your rival."Ethan caught the shirt, looking bewildered. "This size… It's mine?"He looked up sharply, glancing from the burner phone to the shirt. His brain seemed to have short-circuited."There is no other man." I sighed, poking a finger into his rock-hard chest."The shirt was a belated birthday present, and the cologne was just a sample. It's a very 'manly' scent, don't you think? I sent the texts myself, and the photo is staged. Ethan, from the very beginning, it's only ever been you."As the truth sank in, Ethan's face was a masterpiece of conflicting emotions.Shock, confusion, and pure joy flickered across his features before finally settling into fury."So…"He leaned in dangerously close, narrowing his eyes. "To get me to break our

Ethan continued, "I'm the strongest Alpha King, but in front of you, I'm nothing more than a coward starving for a love I can't have and too afraid to ever bring that love into the light."Those were the most searingly honest words I had ever heard.My heart felt like it had been scorched. Otherwise, why would it ache with such sharp, bitter pain?So… what I had mistaken for indifference and coldness was actually his way of protecting himself while harboring a desperate love?"I know you're mad at me." Ethan began to undo the buttons of my collar and pressed a warm kiss over the steady beat of my heart."When the chandelier fell at the gala, my instinct was indeed to save Nora, but I stopped. In that split second, my logic overrode my instinct. I was worried you'd cry if I saved her."Maybe that's it. My instinct chose Nora, but my soul and all of me wanted to choose you, so I intentionally stopped. Even if the whole world misunderstood me, I didn't want you to see me holding ano

Midnight struck. A new day had begun, but Ethan's words from earlier were still looping in my head.Suddenly, the lock clicked open.Ethan walked in carrying a decanter of red wine, looking exhausted. The cold, intimidating pressure he usually wore had vanished, replaced by a heavy weariness."Have a drink with me," he said, pouring two glasses. His eyes were dark and unreadable. "Happy third anniversary, Freya."I froze.Was today the third anniversary of our mate bond?With all the recent drama, the date had completely slipped my mind."Let's talk after this drink," Ethan said.His voice was eerily soft as he looked at me. "We'll talk about what you want… about breaking our bond."Dissolving our bond?I took the glass, feeling suspicious. As I stared at the deep crimson liquid, a sharp sense of deja vu hit me.It seemed like every time a special occasion rolled around, he'd insist on a drink with me.And every time, I'd black out.I'd wake up the next morning feeling lik

The gala ended in a farce. Nora and Reynold were rushed to the infirmary.The guests dispersed, yet the whispers stayed behind."I guess the fated mate bond isn't all it's cracked up to be. Alpha King actually hesitated just now.""That Reynold guy has some serious guts. I can't believe he actually pointed a finger at Alpha King's nose and tore into him like that.""Poor Ms. Freya. She's like a placeholder caught in the crossfire."Every word cut deep.I should have been happy. Ethan's perfect reputation was cracked, and Reynold's love for Nora was proven beyond a doubt.But why did my chest feel hollow, as if a piece of me had been scooped out?It hit me that someone was willing to die for Nora, while I was just a pitiful tool used to vent desires.…Back in the master bedroom, Ethan stood with his back to me, irritably ripping off his tie.The tension in the air was suffocating.I hesitated for a long time before asking the question that had haunted me. "When the chandeli

Ethan's retaliation was swift.Barely an hour later, everyone in the palace received an order—a grand gala would be held tonight to welcome Nora.A maid arrived at my door with a stunning gown, her gaze full of pity. "Ms. Mueller, Alpha King… insists that you attend in your finest attire."My finest attire? To attend my husband's and my sister's engagement party?I looked at my reflection in the mirror and forced a bitter smile.Wasn't this exactly what I wanted? My plan to break the mate bond was almost complete. I should have been thrilled. I should have been popping champagne.But why…As I stared at the gorgeous gown, a leaden weight settled in my chest, making every breath feel like a desperate struggle.The euphoria of freedom was gone, replaced by an ache I couldn't put into words.…The ballroom was a sea of glittering lights, yet the air was stifling.Ethan sat at the head of the table.He had changed into black formal wear, his collar slightly open to reveal his c
