Goodbye, My Destined Mate!

I thought I was his destined mate. I never imagined we would end like this.After five years as Alex’s mate, I thought nothing could shock me anymore. But what I saw froze me in place.At the entrance of the healer’s ward, Alex stood beside a young, beautiful she-wolf, carefully helping her down the steps. Alarm bells rang in my head. Alex was a prideful Alpha—he wouldn’t even do this for his own sister.We weren’t standing far apart. His eyes, full of tenderness, met the utter disbelief in mine.Then he quickly looked away.The woman beside him noticed his reaction and turned in my direction. The moment her eyes landed on me, tears welled up in hers. Alex gently guided her into a waiting car, murmuring soft reassurances as he helped her in. Only when she was safely seated did he walk toward me.He wasn’t flustered anymore. Not like when I first caught them. Instead, he approached me calmly, as if nothing had happened.“Why are you at the infirmary? Are you sick?” he asked, gently taki

When I got there, the door to the private room was slightly ajar. I paused and looked inside.Alex was sprawled in a chair, clearly drunk. In front of him sat the pregnant she-wolf—Doris.One of Alex’s friends looked at her and gave an apologetic smile.“Doris, Luna refused to come, and Alex won’t leave. I had no choice but to call you.”Doris returned a gentle smile, then approached Alex and tried to help him up. But he reflexively shoved her away, making her gasp in surprise.The sound snapped him out of his stupor. When he looked up and saw it was Doris, he gave her a bitter smile—it looked more like he was crying.“You... It’s all because of you. Lily doesn’t want me anymore—all because of you...” he muttered.He kept repeating the same line, staggering around the room, searching for more alcohol.No one could stop him. He was a powerful Alpha, and very few dared to stand in his way.Suddenly, Doris picked up a bottle and smashed it on the floor. Everyone went still.Even Alex, who

Alex felt a fleeting surge of joy the moment the pup was born.This was his child—his bloodline.Something he had secretly longed for over the years, even if he never admitted it out loud.As that warmth lingered, he stayed the night at the hospital with Doris, his nerves buzzing.He didn’t return to the den, nor did he call Lily.He thought he had it all figured out.He would settle Doris and the pup, make sure they were cared for, and then never see them again.At least now he had his bloodline. That was enough.He was convinced that once everything was over, Lily would still be there. That they could return to the life they once had—unchanged.But things didn’t go as planned.Lily didn’t wait for him.When the servant arrived at the hospital, Alex was still cradling the newborn gently in his arms.The moment he saw her expression, his inner wolf felt a sharp, wrenching pain in his chest.He didn’t even need to hear the words.She was gone.She hadn’t left a note—only two things:A b

Aria returned a few days after us and was immediately swept up in preparations for her bonding ritual.To free up her time, she handed many of her responsibilities to me.In the blink of an eye, I went from playing with my daughter every day to being completely occupied.Soon, I noticed something else—Alex had found out where I was living.He didn’t show up directly.But I saw him lingering outside my apartment late into the night, silently watching from the shadows.I chose to ignore it.I had moved on. I had no energy to spare for the past.The day of Aria’s bonding ritual came quickly.I arrived at the venue with my daughter, and we instantly attracted attention.Everyone in the pack knew me.Before I could react, Alex stepped forward, subtly positioning himself to shield me from the harsh, resentful stares of his mother—and the curious gazes of others.But his mother had made many enemies over the years, and those who disliked her weren’t going to let this opportunity pass.Someone
