Chapter 6: Enough is Enough

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-10 15:12:41

I went home to my apartment that day with a heavy heart and a slightly red fist from my table-slamming.

Even with my begging on the phone, I know he wouldn't listen to me. He still wants to keep me like some spare pet.

I took a nice cool shower to rinse off today's drama and finished my studying for the day about how to stitch deep wounds.

As I plopped down my bed, I glanced at the ceiling. I may not see the stars but I can feel the moon.

"What will I do, Moon Goddess?" I found myself whispering, praying, on what to do with Lucien. We're mates, yes. But there's no longer love binding us. What Lucien does is he's just obsessed over the fact that an Omega like me finally chose to leave him-and it hurts his pride.

He thought that I might be just an Omega and he's an Alpha that I will stomach him forever, that I will endure him forever.

I will not. I will certainly not.

Enough is enough.

My work the next day ended up smooth. No calls throughout my working hours, even in my coffee bre

    The sound of the slap seemed to lingered. None dare to open their mouth to speak. Everything was starting to make sense now.So Lucien really did have feelings for Charmaine. I wasn't imagining things all this time. My gut was right. That explains why he was always so eager to be there for her, more than for anyone else. More than for me.Not even Fate or our mating bond can stop him from following Charm around like some obsessive dog who always wants to be there for his possessive master.Charmaine broke the silence. "Vesta, calm down. There has to be some kind of misunderstanding," she urged, her voice reverberating with fake concern."Oh, there is a misunderstanding!" I turned to Alpha Lucien, who's still clutching his face from my slap. "You're dating me but you also want to date Charm?" I hissed, "Where does your loyalty and heart really lies, Alpha? Or it doesn't get tired in living in lies?""Vesta, I'm sorry I missed our anniversary." Alpha Lucien's voice blasts through the t

    I'm already prepared to fight or flight should he ever come face to face with me again.My gaze automatically followed the cedar-and-pine scent. There, in the shadows of the outdoor parking lot, stood my ex-boyfriend.A deep frown was what I noticed first. Then the hands on his pockets before my eyes glancing back at his face. His eyes were glowing with that golden signature stare of a werewolf on one step to shifting.Our eyes locked. I willed my wolf's eyes to shine too."Is something wrong, Blake?" Lucien's ears cocked as if hearing our conversation.I turned to see Francis, his eyes locked on the parking lot but did not notice Lucien. He was still seated in his car with the driver's window down. "Do you need help? I can accompany you to your apartment's door if you'd like."Francis might be from a powerful Beta family and the Head of the Healers but he's no match for an Alpha-especially to a mated Alpha. I'm pretty sure when an Alpha tossed a gaze to someone like that, any sane w

    My work on the next day became chaotic. Gone were the days of a perfect work streak.A newly hired nurse bumped me as I opened a door, spilling a dozen iced coffees all over me. My hair, my face, my white uniform, even my feet were all freezing and smelling like almond macchiato. His apologies were genuine even when he was stuttering but I simply waved an idle hand off and told him to be careful next time.Even when it's me who should be careful.I know Lucien's late-night visit always has a negative impact on my life-whether at work or in person. Well, now it seemed he managed to check both.Although it still flashed in my mind the raw sadness in his eyes, the pure guilt. What if...what if he's really now accepting the truth that he's been the one at fault in our relationship?I shook my head. I should never think about him again.My lunch break came and I heard two females gossiping behind me."I think they're dating!" one said cheerfully."Nah. Charmaine is just clingy towards Alph

    Beta Thomas dragged his gaze up to me. "You knew?""Oh it was very obvious!" I exclaimed. "You were the one trying to break me up with Lucien so that you can make Charm happy, didn't you?" I laughed when he muttered something under his breath. "You know. It seems we're just the same after all, Beta. We always pour our hearts out at the wrong people.""Vesta—"I held out a hand, my laugh becoming less mocking and more real. I wiped away those tears that blurred my sight. "I'm so sorry for you, Tom. But you don't need to make it up to me. Your confession is enough to complete my day.""Why?" He asked with those innocent eyes, still oblivious to what I'm feeling."That you yourself confirmed that Alpha Lucien had always prioritized Charmaine more than me—hence why Charm is also entertaining the Alpha with wide open arms. Perhaps with wide open legs too!" I chuckled hysterically at the last words I just spat.Now I know. Now...it made me breathe comfortably even more."Good luck in convin

    The tensity of the ride lightened when the car entered a familiar place.Their glowing trunks in the night seemed as if they came down from the moon, and they grew up into this breathtaking sight to give light to whoever visited it.The Moonstone Grove.After about half an hour, Alpha Lucien turned onto a narrow, almost hidden path, leading us up a mountain to the less visited part of The Grove. This spot was renowned for its mystical ancient trees, glowing with the presence of the moon in the night.The moonlight was different here, something more sacred. More beckoning.We got out of the car and I watched Lucien keep up with my slow steps, breathing in the scent of the place and feeling the cool breeze whipping my hair.I can't remember the last time I visited here, probably it was when I was still with my parents. Oh, it was the time I was praying hard that I'll be accepted in the pack's prestigious college!And I was accepted. Now I just hoped I didn't get accepted because that wa

    I didn't bother healing myself after that night. I even cry secretly in the restroom where Lucien visited me after my work the next day.Days passed like hours and I didn't even notice it's the end of the month."The pack hospital's offering me a chance to work abroad?" I swallowed, repeating Francis's words. "This news...it's great!""Yes, Blake, we are. A hospital there needs an assistant director and I couldn't think of anyone else to send other than you," Francis declared, his warm smile is always a delicious coffee to my lazy days. "We thought it might help in your road to healing yourself after your...you know. After you and Alpha Lucien.""I heard the Foghounds Pack boasts a lot of perfect places to have a vacation!""Yes," he said, "consider it as both a work and a vacation. Don't worry, your workload there is lighter so that you can also focus on learning the ways of being an assistant director of a pack hospital. You will still attend weekly classes since being a pack heale

    My world came crumbling down when I saw Alpha Lucien posting a video on his official account two hours ago.Did he know about my promotion abroad?Shit. That’s why he did this and made my life more difficult by deciding between him and my work!Though I already knew which one I will stay loyal to: my work.But curiosity got the worst of me and I decided to watch the video—the announcement—he posted.In his formal black suit and red tie bearing the insignia of the Brightheart Pack, he spoke in front of the camera with a solemn expression.“Charmaine is not my girlfriend. She never has been. We’ve known each other since we were young but she’s only like a sister to me.” He paused as he looked down and held on to his tuxedo. He looked up again, this time with a more calculated expression, like the face an Alpha wore before engaging in a battlefield. “Please avoid spreading false news and such outright malicious rumors. Such comments are not only uncomfortable for Charmaine but also distr

    I bared my teeth at him, letting my wolf's eyes and fangs shine so that even the people sitting nearby flinched."Vesta.""Shut up and leave."He heaved a deep sigh. "We're thirty thousand feet in the air.""So what? You're an Alpha—don't you have powers to fly or control the air or something?" I asked with a mocking incline of my head, the grin on my lips.Surprisingly, he's not like a ghost this time compared to when we were in Moonstone Grove. There's an unspeakable calm in his eyes, a lulling serenity in his voice.It looks like he has now moved on but is still willing to chase after me."You're still craving for me, aren't you?" I teased, poking his shoulder.Though his smile didn't reach his ears, his eyes glimmered with the moon's light. "Don't be afraid. I'm just escorting you."I snorted. "I don't need a bodyguard."He shrugged a shoulder, an air of playfulness and arrogance swirling around him. "You probably don't need one. But you want one." He glanced at me before jerking

    "Don't worry, I was once in a relationship like that," Alex explained as soon as we got to our hotel room. "They're dangerous, not because they're obsessive, but because they no longer see the need to respect you. They see you as a possession of theirs that they'll chase even to the far end of the world." "Thank you," I inhaled. I found myself wandering to the window and there, Jon was standing outside. Thunder cracked the distance and soon, the rain started to pour. Alex saw him too."See. That's why."I understood what he meant and right now, instead of hatred, I feel sorry for Jon. He no longer feels the need to live. He doesn't know how to let go as if what he and Emilia have possessed him with intense guilt that he thinks the only way to solve it is to prove to me we can still be together despite what happened.Well, what's done is done.I dialed Emilia's number and spoke in a flat tone.

    'It only happened once, Anastasia.' I chuckled mirthlessly at Jonathan's words earlier. Only the dead would believe his lies.Although it made me vomit, I gulped down the bile that rose to my throat at the foul picture I received."Really? Is this all that you can do, Emilia?" I texted the unknown number and then blocked it right away.I went back to sleep as though I just dreamed all of it.***Dr. Alex approached me the next day.

    As I had my breakfast the next day, I found out Jon was just staying in the room next to mine.He kept on eyeing at me like some dog who doesn't want his owner to vanish before his sight. He even stayed with me at the Dawn Thorn Pack's hospital to finish some paperworks before Dr. Alex dismissed us. The Alpha stubbornly stayed with me all day and then went home with me as well.I couldn't argue further so I just let him.When I got home, as soon as I opened the door, there were already people there: Jon's friends and Emilia, including Beta Homer.They have prepared a table full of delicious food as if welcoming Jonathan back that they're glad they've seen him again for so many decades.It was only three days.Even with the food's appetizing look and mouth-watering smell, I feel nauseous.Emilia instantly met my gaze.

Cold sweat starts to form on my forehead. Before I could turn around, he immediately lunged at me and grabbed my arm with such force that I cried. "Anastasia, are you avoiding me?""Of course, I am. We have already broken up and it is right that I avoid you and you leave me fucking alone." "Where were you?" his voice dropped to a whisper."From

    When I woke up the next day, Alpha Jonathan was gone. He never returned since that tiptoeing of his to answer Emilia's call.I was thrilled about this since I no longer had to worry about eating with him or hearing his second round of making-up excuses that Emilia and him have nothing between them.As I prepare myself a simple breakfast of a boiled egg and black coffee, I realize I can actually wake up every day without Alpha Jonathan after all.As I worked my day as a nurse in the pack's hospital, Alpha Jonathan sent several missed calls. He called repeatedly. Thankfully, I managed to put my phone in silent mode as part of the working hours rules."You're not going to answer that?" Dr. Alex whispered behind me and I almost yelped. We were both in the elevator as we headed home."No. I'm going home anyway." My entire day went smoothly and I went home feeling very satisfied.But I immediately dropped my satisfied smile when I opened the door to my house. The smell of cigarette already

    I didn't let myself fall as I strode away. I clutched my chest as I turned around, the pain of the breakup and rejection clawed its way past my heart and into the core of my soul.My tears fell on their own accord, and I didn't stop even when I called for a taxi.I can still hear Jonathan's words earlier even when the taxi was already moving. "Don't mind her, she's just being fucking dramatic."Was I though? Was it dramatic for calling out your boyfriend and his bestfriend-feeling-girlfriend that they're acting more of a couple than the Alpha and I ever was?Even with the breakup, the pack party continued lively. The dancing and music have become even more vivacious since my departure.But I don't care. Everyone knew I was upset and they knew I wouldn't care about Jonathan on the floor, clutching to his chest too.If they gossip about me being heartless, then I'll show them heartlessness.The ride to my apartment took longer because of traffic.

Their closeness, their whispered words-I'd seen it all too many times, and I was done pretending.At that moment, I decided I was done being second best. Standing, I met his surprised gaze, steady and unyielding. "I, Anastasia Stephens, am breaking up with you and severing our bond. I reject your love and affection from now on."

I know the Silvernight Pack’s lands have access to the beautiful scenery that's why me and my mate cherish this pack so much.“Does it still hurt?” I knew what he meant.I set down the fork and the plate and shook my head, but then I looked at him again and I willed my tears to remain at bay. “It’s just...it’s something that we’ll never erase, love.
