Alpha's Regret : Chasing His Rejected Luna

Noira

“Did you hear what I just said?” His tone was cold, and he spoke without the slightest concern for what had just happened to me.

“If you still want to be my wife, you must give one of your kidneys to Eve.”

I pressed a hand against the wound on my arm, which I had just sustained when he shoved me into a glass cabinet, shattering it and leaving shards of glass embedded in my left arm.

“An Omega like you, with no family or tribe, wouldn’t survive out there.”

My heart felt as though it had been crushed in a tight fist. His words were always so cold.

When I was two years old, I had been found by Kael’s father, Alpha Bryan. The Ashbourne family had taken me in, raised me, and made me one of their own.

I was known as a lucky Omega for having risen to the position of Luna, though, of course, others still looked down on me.

This was far from the first time Kael had treated me so coldly. The only person he had ever cared about was his first love, Eve, who had finally returned after a year of our marriage.

I coughed, but his gaze remained filled with contempt.

Kael thought I was lying to him just to avoid giving one of my kidneys to Eve, a former Beta's daughter who was now gravely ill.

When Eve returned, everyone in the Silver Horizon Pack began talking about how the Alpha's first love had finally come back and how a useless Luna like me would soon be replaced.

I saw countless news articles about their relationship, including one about how Kael had knelt before Eve to put on her heels.

He absolutely hated doing that. But in that moment, I realized he would only do such a thing for the woman he loved.

Not me, but Eve.

Every news article that circulated only showed how deeply he loved her. While they spent time together, I spent my own time thinking about how I could leave this place as soon as possible.

“Noira, promise me you'll give her one of your kidneys. She's... Eve is so fragile. She's not like you.”

This wasn't a request. He was making sure I understood that I had no choice but to do it.

Outside this room, the guards were already waiting to lock me up and ensure I gave one of my kidneys to the woman he loved.

Looking at him, I remembered the days when I had admired Kael so deeply, believing he would become an extraordinary and wise Alpha.

I loved him. I fell in love with him over and over again, but Kael had been forced to marry me when the marks appeared on both our bodies, revealing that we were mates.

In the werewolf world, when the full moon coincided with one's twentieth birthday, an identical mark would appear on the bodies of one's destined mate. It was a sign that the Moon Goddess had blessed the two of them.

Besides, after the marks appeared, Alpha Bryan had ordered us to marry immediately. He cared for me deeply, making our marriage unavoidable.

One day after our wedding, Eve disappeared. Everyone said she couldn't bear the overwhelming heartbreak.

Kael then went mad with grief, constantly blaming me for what had happened. After that, his treatment of me only grew worse, and throughout our year of marriage, loving him had become the biggest mistake of my life.

Now that Alpha Bryan was dead, Kael made it painfully clear that Eve was the only woman he had ever loved.

That incident had happened four years ago. I remembered it so clearly because he had been gravely injured during the great war that was raging at the time. But Kael refused to believe me, insisting that everything I had told him was a lie.

Standing before him, I wanted to tell him one more time.

“Kael, if I give her one of my kidneys, I will die.”

His expression hardened. “Stop lying, Noira. You can still live with one kidney left.”

He gripped my arm so tightly that I had no strength to fight back. I struggled against his hold until my breathing grew heavy.

“Kael…”

Before I could say another word, he slapped me.

It hurt, but my anger and disappointment were far greater than the physical pain.

As I stared at him, it felt as though thousands of needles were stabbing into my heart all at once. This was the first time he had ever slapped me, and after this, he would truly end up killing me.

“Stop throwing tantrums. I'm not going to divorce you. You'll remain the Luna of the Silver Fangs Pack, but don't you dare interfere with Eve.”

“You are the Luna. You are responsible for the members of this pack.”

My head was spinning as his cruel words continued to strike me, one after another.

I had to act now, before the situation grew even worse.

My heavy lips finally parted, and I spoke slowly.

“Fine... I'll do it. But not until seven days from now.”

Kael's eyes slowly blinked, and his brows furrowed. I knew he probably wouldn't remember it.

“That is our wedding anniversary. I want to do it as our wedding anniversary gift, Kael.”

For some reason, his expression shifted slightly. It seemed as though he wanted to say something, but at that moment, his phone rang.

When he answered the call, I could hear Eve's voice coming from the other end.

“I'll be right there, Eve. Don't be afraid.”

He spoke with deep concern.

In silence, I watched how quickly he acted whenever it came to Eve.

Just as he was about to leave the room, he stopped and looked back at me.

“Don't forget your promise, Noira. You must give her one of your kidneys.”

I nodded slowly, letting him believe that he had won.

After that, perhaps he would finally be able to live happily with Eve, just the two of them.

But our conversation wasn't over yet. He fell silent for a moment before looking at me again.

“I'll give you the ring you've been asking for afterward.”

With that, he left in hurried strides, while my tears continued to stream down my face.

He had shattered my heart over and over again. He had even taken away something that rightfully belonged to me.

The ring Kael had was the only thing I owned that had belonged to my mother. I had always treasured it and kept it safe.

But now, I truly no longer cared about that ring. Everything had already been over for a month.

My hands trembled as I picked up my phone, and the person on the other end answered almost immediately.

“Have you made your decision?”

I nodded slowly. “I want to give him one last gift.”
