Chapter 6

Alpha Mike looked at me, confusion clearly visible in his eyes, maybe he was surprised that I actually went to find food on my own.

I could read the look in his eyes, and I couldn’t help but hold my forehead.

Was I that useless and helpless before?

…

In the bedroom.

I was starving, my stomach practically glued to my spine, but the moment I saw the array of delicious dishes the servants brought in, all my appetite disappeared.

I slowly placed my hand on my stomach.

Deep down, I knew this wasn’t a digestive issue.

My gut told me—I might be carrying life inside me.

Fuzzy flashes crossed my mind—fragments of a time when I might’ve been entangled with Alpha Mike for some reason.

This little life inside me… we were bound by blood.

I gently caressed my belly, whispering to the life within:

“You really picked the worst time to come…”

When Alpha Mike entered the room, I was staring out the window. My voice was firm, as if I had made up my mind.

“Alpha Mike, could you please ask Pack doctor for some mifepristone pills?”

Alpha Mike froze, seemingly in disbelief that I would actually make a request.

He asked calmly, “What are they for?”

“My period’s here. The cramps are killing me.” I turned to him and looked him dead in the eye. “Please.”

His eyes fell on the hand pressed against my lower abdomen.

After a moment, he nodded, almost like something beyond his control made him do it.

“Alright.”

I watched his retreating back, my eyes clear and determined.

After leaving the bedroom, Alpha Mike called Pack doctor.

“Bring over some mifepristone pills.”

Soon enough, a servant brought the pills to me—an entire bottle.

That night, the entire house was eerily quiet.

When I stepped out for some air, I saw Alpha Mike in Lina’s room, gently comforting her fragile emotions.

“Lina, your life… it wasn’t easy to save. You need to cherish it now. No more stupid things, okay?”

Lina clutched his hand. She still looked pale from her illness, but with the man she loved beside her, she glowed with happiness.

“Mike~ you know how much I love you… I can’t live without you. So you can’t leave me…”

“Okay. I’ll stay with you from now on. But you have to get better quickly.”

I rolled my eyes quietly and returned to my room, curling up on the bed alone.

Staring up at the white ceiling, I felt the emptiness slowly growing inside me.

A single tear rolled down my cheek.

When the blood finally soaked the entire bedsheet, I closed my eyes and let the tears fall freely.

Good.

Alpha Mike and I were finally done.

No more ties between us.

The next day, Alpha Mike had his Beta assistant deliver my luggage, my passport, and a bank card.

The assistant hesitated. “Luna, Alpha already booked your ticket. The flight’s at 7 a.m. this morning.”

I forced a smile, though my body was too weak to even speak. I looked at him faintly.

“He’s not going to come see me off?”

“Miss Lina had an emotional breakdown last night. The Alpha didn’t feel comfortable leaving her alone…” The assistant didn’t dare meet my eyes.

I wasn’t disappointed. I had expected this all along.

After all, no one ever cares for the one who’s crying alone in the corner.

“I understand.”

The Beta respectfully handed over the bank card.

“This is for your living expenses. The Alpha will pick you up in three months. Also, he arranged for a couple to look after you over there. You can contact them after you land…”

I didn’t take the card.

Instead, I struggled out of bed, put on the old clothes I had brought two years ago, and packed my suitcase.

Then I stuffed all the new clothes Alpha Mike had bought me into the assistant’s arms, along with the luggage.

Straightening my thin, frail back, I walked out without looking back, completely ignoring his words.

“Luna, what are you—?” he called after me, confused, holding the bags I shoved into his hands.

I replied flatly, “I don’t need the rest. Throw them away.”

He looked stunned and tried to reason with me.

“Luna, maybe the clothes aren’t your style—you can shop again after you land. But you must take the bank card. How else are you going to survive over there?”

“Luna, please—just take the card.”

Because of his persistence, I reluctantly accepted it.

He visibly relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

He escorted me all the way to the international airport’s security checkpoint.

“Luna, this is as far as I can go. Please take good care of yourself over there.”

I ignored him completely and walked toward security without a second thought.

I knew I looked unsteady, fragile even—but it didn’t matter.

All I wanted was to leave this place as fast as possible.

Before stepping into the checkpoint, I paused and did something that stunned him—

I threw the bank card Alpha Mike gave me straight into the trash bin.

I caught the assistant’s stunned expression and gave a cold laugh.

I didn’t want the man anymore—why would I want anything from him?

Unbothered by the Beta’s anxious gaze, I turned and walked away cheerfully.

Back at the villa.

Alpha Mike had spent most of the day with Lina and had stepped out for some air when the Beta assistant showed up.

The moment Alpha Mike saw the suitcase, his expression froze.

“What’s this? Didn’t I tell you to get her on a flight ASAP? Why hasn’t she left?”

The Beta quickly shook his head. “Alpha don’t worry. Luna is already on the plane.”

Alpha Mike pointed at the suitcase.

“Then what’s this?”

The assistant answered nervously, “Alpha, these are the things Luna didn’t want.”

Alpha Mike felt something like a pinprick in his chest, an indescribable emotion flashing across his heart.

“I gave her so much money. I guess she’s ditching the old clothes because she’s planning to buy new ones.”

He chuckled mockingly. “She really got used to living in comfort, huh?”

But what Beta said next struck him with a dose of harsh reality:

“Alpha… Luna threw your card into the trash right before she went through security.”

Alpha Mike froze completely, his expression cracking inch by inch.

After a long silence, he let out a low, bitter laugh.

“So the little stray has a temper now? What, just because I neglected her a little? Fine. When she’s done being mad, I’ll go bring her back.”

“She’s just throwing a tantrum—who gave her the guts? Spoiled little thing.”

Just then, Gamma the butler stepped out, unable to keep silent any longer.

“Alpha, Luna’s body hasn’t recovered yet. Sending her away now… aren’t you afraid she’ll hate you for it?”

Though Gamma was Alpha Mike’s personal butler, he had always been kind to me.

He often helped me and asked me to be patient with Alpha Mike, saying that sometimes he was blinded by dark forces, that’s why he treated me the way he did.
