Chapter 6

MEGAN’S POV

My eyes watered as I sat at the dining table with two plates of piping hot bone soup on the table in front of me while I stared at the divorce papers placed on the table with tear-blurred eyes. My boxes were already packed and standing next to the seat where I sat.

This was it. I’m fed up, and I’ve had enough of this humiliation. I gave Austin so many chances, but he threw them all away. Likewise, I shut my eyes tight, and tears rolled down my face. Taking a deep breath, I picked up the pen beside it and signed the papers without a second thought.

Then, I heard the car honking and quickly wiped my tears. The door was swung open, and Alpha Austin walked in with Kayla wrapping her hand around his arm.

Immediately I heard them giggling and chatting loudly, and I clenched my fist in utter disgust and fury. The moment they stepped in, Austin walked up to me with arched eyebrows. “What the hell, Megan? Where’s the soup I told you to prepare for Kay? Kayla is sick; can’t you be a little compassionate?” His words pierced my chest like a dagger.

Anger engulfed me, and I got up from the chair with fury running through my veins while Kayla stood behind Austin with a pretentious, pathetic expression. “You want soup? Fine.”

I turned to the table and carried one of the bowls of hot soup. “This one is for me.” I mumbled. Before Alpha Austin, who stared at me perplexed, could say a word, I threw the soup on his face, and Kayla gasped in disbelief.

Without hesitation, I grabbed the other plate of soup and poured it on him again, and thought. “This one is for my child.”

“Megan, what the hell has gotten into you?” Kayla shrieked as I glared hard at her, and she stepped back in terror.

Soaked and shocked, Alpha Austin stared at me in utter disbelief. He would never have thought that I’d do that to him. “Are you out of your damn mind?”

“Yes.” I laughed dryly. “I must be out of my mind to ever fall in love with a narcissist like you.” I added with a scoff of disappointment. I picked up the divorce papers that I had already signed and stretched them to him.

“We’re done. I want a divorce.” I snapped, and his eyes grew in astonishment and absolute disbelief.

“What?” He furrowed his eyebrows, looking confused.

Ignoring him, I grabbed the luggage and turned to leave, but I halted and reluctantly turned around. Then I raised my right hand… the mate bond thread appeared on both of our wrists. Tears pricked my eyes, but I quickly blinked them back.

He stared at the glowing red thread with narrowed eyes and uttered. “You want a divorce? Because of your little fling?” He scoffed in mockery.

“You’re a real piece of work, you know that?” I shook my head in disgust. “I can’t believe I didn’t see that before. Better late than never.” I mumbled.

Raising my hand up, I started. “I, Megan Prescott, reject you, Alpha Austin Sinclair of Crescent Moon Pack, as my mate and Alpha. From this day forward, our bond is shattered.”

“Oh, my… Luna, you shouldn’t. I mean, the Alpha…” Kayla stuttered. I could see excitement gleaming in her eyes.

Hence, I uttered those words with tears brimming in my eyes. Instantly, the thread vanished, and Austin groaned. His eyes grew wide. He probably couldn’t believe that I could reject him.

“You dare reject me? Do you have any idea what you’re doing?” I retorted angrily, but I ignored him, and he continued with a smug smirk. “Oh, Megan. How would you even survive without me? You’re just a poor housewife. You’re nothing without me. No money, no status… nothing. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Just sit here quietly and continue being my wife and the Luna of this pack.”

Three years—for three years I hoped I could win his love. I wished he would smile at me even for a second, but right now, the sight of his smug face irritated me.

“You will regret this, Megan.” His cold voice smacked me out of my deep thoughts as I dropped the papers on the table and grabbed my luggage again. “Just sign the papers, Austin, and we’re over.”

With that, I stormed out of the mansion, dragging my luggage along with me. Austin quickly ran after me, but Kayla grabbed his arm with pleading eyes. “Alpha…. Let her be. She’ll come back.”

He brushed her aside and ran after me. The moment I stepped out of the Crescent Pack’s mansion, I sighted Nate, standing beside the parked Rolls-Royce car.

It was drizzling, so as soon as he saw me, he quickly reached for an umbrella and rushed towards me to help me with the luggage.

“Thank you, Nate.” I mumbled when he took the boxes, and I rushed into the car.

Glaring hard at Alpha Austin, Nate turned off the umbrella and handed it to one of the bodyguards before entering the car, and we zoomed off.

From the tinted glass of the car, I stared at the man I once loved more than my life—the man I left behind my inheritance, vast wealth, and unparalleled bloodline just to be his Luna. The man I wished could hold me in his arms with a warm smile.

“Stop the car.” I ordered, and Nate’s eyes narrowed as the driver halted immediately.

Without hesitation, I rolled down the car’s door glass and dragged off my neck the ring that I had worn around my neck for 3 years. I threw it out of the car window, and it rolled straight to Austin’s feet. “Goodbye, Alpha Austin.” I mouthed as I pressed the button, and the car window rolled up again; then the car zoomed off.

Austin stared in absolute shock as the umbrella he was holding fell freely from his hand.

“So this is why you want a divorce?” He mumbled as his hair and face were getting drenched.

As soon as the car sped off, he roared loudly at me. “MEGAN!”

But it was too late. It's too late for him to reciprocate my love for him.
