Alpha Mate Chose My Bully, I Left on My Birthday Chapter 15
Lucian tried everything. None of it changed my mind.I flew home, and Lucian and I stood in front of the Council.I said the words.I, Ivy Mercer, reject you, Lucian Vance, as my mate.He accepted. Then he signed most of what he owned over to me without being asked.He kept his red eyes on me the whole time and didn't say a word.When it was done, he stood on the Council steps and watched me get into the car and drive away.The mark on my neck burned for a week. Then it faded.After that, messages from him came all the time. So many words. As many as when we first met.Dom says Lucian's depression is bad. He can't sleep without pills. He's lost a lot of weight.He handed Northridge to his Beta and stopped going in.Dom won't tell me more than that."People like that, you keep your distance. We're looking forward now."He bought me the house next to his, inside Stonecrest. Every weekend he drives me to Mom and Dad's for dinner.My work is starting to take off.Some days I still want to

I'm not a saint.The girl who bullied me got exposed, dragged, slapped. Of course it felt good.But maybe a new city shrinks the world. I didn't spend much energy on it.Serena's life imploded. She lost her job. Strangers wouldn't stop harassing her online.Lucian wasn't doing much better. Alphas heal in a day or two. He was in the hospital for nine. Even after he got out, he didn't show his face at the pack house for weeks.I figured I wouldn't see him for at least six months.Dom flew in to visit. He was still asleep in the guest room the next morning when somebody knocked.It was Lucian.He looked wrecked.The second he saw me, before he could get a word out, he started crying.You could see him fighting it. He couldn't stand to look anything less than put together.The tears kept coming anyway. His eyes were bloodshot."Ives," he said, hoarse. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry...""I swear I didn't know any of it. If I'd known—""Why didn't you tell me? You're my mate. Of course

Lucian kept blowing up my phone.It didn't touch me.On day one, I logged out of everything and got a new number just for Dom.I had plenty to keep me busy anyway. Groceries one day. Baking the next.Life got good, fast.Then one day Dom sent me a link.It was a post from a gossip account. It was everywhere, and still climbing.Someone had dug up a nobody's secret burner account.Every post on it was unhinged.She bragged about bullying a coworker so badly the girl started eating lunch in a bathroom stall.She bragged about keeping every decent guy she knew on a string as backup. Never sleeping with any of them. All upside, no risk.Then, recently, a run of new posts.First guy I've ever actually wanted, and he went and mated the little doormat I bullied half to death in high school. LMAO.She STILL almost cries after two sentences from me. Eleven years and zero growth. Out of everyone on earth, she's still the easiest target.Played sunny and confident and a little tragic, and he help

I had a couple of drinks on the plane and slept better than I had in months. Not a single dream.When I landed, a car Dom had arranged was waiting. Someone had already stocked the apartment.I showered, crawled into bed, and slept again.When I finally turned my phone back on, the messages wouldn't stop coming.Lucian's first.Babe, Serena and I are here. She got you a huge bouquet. You're going to love it.Where are you?Are you okay?...Why is your phone off? Call me when you turn it on.You're not at Dom's? Where are you?Why did you clear out all your stuff?Babe?I closed it and opened Dom's.The first thing he'd sent was a screenshot of his texts with Lucian.Lucian had sent him a photo of a birthday cake with my name on it.In the bottom right corner of the photo was Serena's hand.We're doing great. Hate it all you want.Dom's reply:Oh, totally. My sister's the most forgiving person alive.Worst case, she never speaks to you again.The second thing was a video. Dom had set his

I slept at Dom's until two the next afternoon before I felt human again.My head was clearer. I was more sure than ever.Lucian would never agree to a rejection. He cared too much about appearances. He'd never admit his heart had wandered.So I wasn't expecting it to happen any time soon.But I believed he'd come around eventually.Humble background. Brilliant at her job. Pretty. Tough and fragile at once. Easygoing, open, and good at a little pout that never quite crossed the line.That was Serena, through his eyes. The woman whose texts he answered at one in the morning. The woman he stepped in front of without thinking.He'd fallen for her a long time ago and didn't even know it.I studied art. Since graduation, I'd freelanced. These days I was a painter who wasn't starving, which is more than most painters can say.I could work from anywhere. I'd take six months. Call it research. Call it a breather.When I told Dom the plan, he didn't ask a single question.He just kept sending me

I was shoving clothes into a suitcase with shaking hands when someone knocked on the front door.I nearly jumped out of my skin.Then my phone lit up. Dom.Open up. It's me.I didn't want to face him right now. I didn't answer.Something's been off all day. You fight with Vance?Is he home?I still didn't answer.About an hour later, I carried a bag of clothes I didn't want outside to throw out.Dom was sitting on the cold porch steps, waiting.It was past two in the morning. He was obviously exhausted and fighting to stay awake.The Alpha of Stonecrest, alone on Northridge land in the middle of the night. If anyone from Lucian's pack had found him there, it would have meant war.He hadn't cared.My first instinct was to turn around and go back in.Dom stepped in front of me.He sighed."Come on, Ives. Turn around. Look at me."I turned around."You're leaving, right? Where are you going?"I lied through my teeth. "I'm not, I'm just organizing some stuff..."Dom bent down until we were
