I Am Done Being Your Doormat, Alpha Chapter 15
EmmaAndrew growled, “Do you think I care? Back off, pal. Who do you think you are?”Ken didn’t flinch. Instead, he walked forward. His head was up and full of confidence, he said,“I’m Kenneth John Cavanaugh. Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack. I don’t belong to your pack, so I don’t have to follow your commands. But Emma is my friend. A very good friend. And even if she wasn’t, I would still call you out for treating her like that.”Andrew’s fists clenched at his sides. “You think you can just barge into our personal life and tell me how to handle my wife? You’ve got some nerve, pal.”Andrew’s eyes changed from blue to golden yellow, indicating that his wolf was taking over. But Ken remained calm. In fact, too calm for Andrew’s liking. “What I saw wasn’t a husband handling things but a disrespectful husband grabbing his wife like she was just property. You’re not acting like an Alpha. Even Omegas treat their mates better. Did you forget Emma is your wife and your Luna? If your pack sees

AndrewI helped Jessica lie quietly on her bed. In return, she gave me a soft smile to show her gratitude.“Let me call the doctor to check on you,” I said. But before I could take another step, she reached out and grabbed my arm.“No need, Andrew. I’m feeling better now,” she said gently. “Besides, the doctor will take his scheduled rounds in about an hour. I’ll just wait for that instead of bothering him.”I looked at her for a second. She seemed calm, but since her injury was on the head, I didn’t want to be complacent.“Are you sure?” I asked.“Yes, I’m sure.” She nodded as she touched my arm. “Just stay here and be with me until my parents come. Can you?”I nodded. “Of course. I’ll stay here until they arrive.”“Thanks, Andrew.”“Don’t mention it.” Jessica turned her head to the side and shut her eyes. Poor girl! She must have been too exhausted to need a quick nap. My eyes turned to the chair in the corner of the room and I sat down. Everything was quiet now. And yet, my mind

AndrewI looked at her.Jessica’s familiar fingers moved slowly over mine. Then, she slid them beneath the cuff of my shirt with the same gentle grace I used to know so well. Her touch lingered for a brief moment. “Because if you were to ask me,” she whispered, “not a day goes by that I haven’t thought about you every single time.”Once, those words would’ve pulled me under. I would’ve reached for her hand and never let go. Hell, I might’ve dragged her straight to the nearest officiant and married her on the spot. Jessica was my first love. And for a while, I believed she’d be my last.But now… everything felt different.“Do you remember the time we used to sneak out at dusk just to watch the sunrise? You’d always bring that horrible-tasting instant coffee because you said we cannot bring the coffee maker with us?”I let out a breath. “You never finished your cup.”Yeah. Because it was never about the coffee. Heck, I didn’t care whether we drank cold water,” she said gently. “Just th

EmmaThe nurse smiled as she gently removed the IV from my arm.“You’re all set to go home now, Luna,” she said kindly. “But… where’s the Alpha? Isn’t he coming to pick you up?”Her words poked something inside my chest. And yet, I tried my best to hide it by smiling gently. “There was an emergency in the pack he needs to attend to,” I said softly. “That’s why he called to let me know he can’t take me home.”“Oh,” The nurse looked surprised for a second, then nodded. “It must be hard to be the wife of an alpha. I really admire you for your patience and understanding.”I just nodded and smiled again. “Yeah. Thanks.” Deep inside, I wanted to slap myself for making yet another excuse for my husband’s neglect. After all, he didn’t deserve any of it. And yet, I couldn’t just stand by and let his reputation be destroyed. At least until the time I walked away from this marriage for good. I didn’t have to call him to know the truth. Andrew wasn’t here to accompany me because he was with Je

Emma I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. My head throbbed from too little sleep, and I was still recovering from the accident. My ribs still ached from my injuries and reminded me of how close I had come to losing my baby. The fear and stress from those long hours in the hospital, not knowing if either of us would make it, was still haunting me. Yet, there he was, unable to get himself a glass of water. How could he be so thoughtless?And yet, I set aside my physical pain and found myself willing to serve Andrew with his petty request. Like I always did.I moved toward the kitchen without a word. I didn’t look at him, but my peripheral vision could see him observing my every move. I prepared a glass of lukewarm water and a glass of jasmine for him just so he could be satisfied with both. “Still giving me the cold shoulder, huh?” His voice echoed over from the living room. When I turned in the direction of the sound, I saw him standing by the door. His shirt was half unbuttone

EmmaThe day of the Moonlight Ball arrived.The whole Dark Desert Pack was excited. As the Luna of the pack, I was the overall in charge of the event. When I found out about it, I wasn’t too keen. But I figured it was a great distraction while waiting for the day of my departure. So, i accepted the role and did what was necessary. For the last few days, I dedicated myself to the preparation. My eyes darted around the hall as I instructed a group of omegas to double-check the flower arrangements and lighting.“Make sure the lightings on the tables are lit just before the guests arrive,” I reminded them. “And don’t forget to stand on the side in case the guests needed something.”“Yes, Luna,” one of the omegas replied. She bowed respectfully before hurrying off to relay the instructions.I walked away to check on the table placements. Suddenly, we heard a furious roar through the hall. The sound was so loud that everyone stopped what they were dOing. My heart raced inside my chest. I s

EmmaA wave of guilt crossed Andrew’s face. Meanwhile, Jessica’s face turned red. A wave of satisfaction flooded inside my chest seeing her face like that.“I’m sorry,” Andrew said. His voice was much softer now. “I shouldn’t have yelled. I just... There’s so much pressure tonight, and I got carried away.”“I know you just want everything to be perfect. But it’s going to be fine. You can rest assured that I won’t do anything to humiliate our pack. Because your shame is also my shame. Right, sis?”Jessica’s face turned redder. But she immediately hid her humiliation by pretending to be lively. “Of course, sis. We should all work together in ensuring this party will be a success.” Andrew let out a quiet laugh, and just like that, the earlier commotion passed. I excused myself for a moment to check on the final preparations.A few hours later…The guests began to arrive one by one. The hall looked magnificent with the silver and blue decorations glowing under the warm lights. Everythin

Entertain him? What does he mean by that?“Sorry, Alpha, but I don’t get what you’re trying to say.”I started to feel nervous. And yet, I tried my best to stay calm. There was something about the way Alpha Rogerr looked at me that made me super uncomfortable. It certainly felt like he would do something bad to me. Meanwhile, Alpha Roger’s men began to laugh quietly. I looked at Andrew and hoped for some clue about what Alpha Roger was trying to say. But he remained quiet. Meanwhile, my Dad seemed unaffected. Like whatever happens to me was none of his concern. “Oh, come on, Luna Emma,” Alpha Roger chuckled. “What’s not to understand? Today is a celebration. We need some fun, don’t we?”He turned to the side and walked towards the fire pit in the corner. The burning embers from the ritual earlier were still glowing. They were still burning hot. Then, Alpha Roger looked at me with an indifferent stare and said,“I want to see you walk into these embers. If you do that, I’ll sign the

EmmaThree days had passed since that fateful night… I could walk properly now. Thanks to my natural wolf healing ability, my burned feet no longer hurt like they did before. I was also glad I listened to Ken’s advice about trusting the doctors on Cavanaugh Hospital. The medicine and ointments they gave me really helped speed my recovery. From downstairs, I heard the faint sound of dishes clinking. Andrew must’ve been having dinner alone again. I haven’t seen Jessica’s shadow roaming around lately. I overheard the omegas saying Andrew was still trying to bring Jessica back to the mansion. I didn’t know if it was true, though.Honestly, I no longer cared. In fact, I didn’t want to see him either. I spent the past few days inside my room, and my burned feet gave me a good excuse to do so. It made avoiding him easier. Suddenly, there was a knock at my door.“Luna Emma?” an omega called from the other side.“Come in,” I responded.“Alpha Andrew wishes to have dinner with you.”I heaved

AndrewThe moment Jessica told me about Andrew and Emma’s secret meeting, I knew I had to confront Emma about it.My feet stomped all the way upstairs once we reached Dark Desert Pack. I slammed the door to Emma’s room, where I found her preparing for bed.Emma’s movements were still affected by her injuries. She slowly tilted her body toward me. I cleared my throat and bluntly said,“I don’t want to see Ken’s shadow in my pack.” I was expecting Emma to object, but she didn’t say anything. I waited for a moment, but still, nothing. “Did you hear what I said?” I raised my voice, hoping this time Emma would answer. She took a deep breath and asked softly. “May I know why?”“Are you seriously asking that?” I said irritably. How could she be so clueless?“It’s not right for a married Luna to be seen with an unmated Alpha like Ken. What if someone sees you? What if rumors start spreading?” I raised my finger, making sure she understood exactly what I meant. “It’s wrong, and it won’t be

I ran my hands through my hair before letting out a deep breath. My head was filled with so many thoughts. I made a choice. And I wasn’t going to back down now.I sat quietly, trying not to think, when the door opened.“Alpha Andrew,” Mathilde said as she walked in with a doctor.“Good evening, Alpha,” the doctor said. “The patient is stable. She can go home tonight. It was just stress. Nothing serious. Just make sure she gets rest.”I gave a small nod and looked at Jessica. “That’s good.”Just then, another nurse stepped in. “Miss Mathilde, someone’s asking for you outside.”Mathilde turned to me. “Please watch over Jessica for now. I’ll be back soon.”“Of course.”Then, she left with the doctor eaving me alone with Jessica.After a while, neither of us said anything. The room felt still until Jessica broke the silence above us.“Are you okay?” she asked. When I turned to her, she was smiling. Her voice pulled me out from my thoughts. I gave a short nod. “Yeah. I’m fine.”I nodded.

AndrewInside the hospital, I remained motionless. My thoughts went back to the scene earlier. Emma sat in that wheelchair, her feet wrapped in bandages. I thought I should feel something. But surprisingly, I didn’t. Nothing. No guilt. No pity. No regret.“You really didn’t feel anything after what happened? Emma was hurt, and you allowed that to happen,” Stan said in my head. “How could you be so heartless?”I didn’t answer right away. He wouldn’t understand, anyway. He still thought like someone who had the luxury of feelings.“She deserved it,” I said finally. “And it had to be done.”I wiped my hands on my pants, like a gesture to remove the cup of guilt from my side. Alpha Roger made his conditions clear. He wanted loyalty. Proof that I could make the hard calls. That I could lead without hesitation and I could put duty above emotion.The business deal he offered would open doors, alliances, resources, and influence. It would secure our future.So when he asked for entertain

EmmaAndrew glanced at me while driving. “I thought you were going to wait for things to settle down in New York?”I gave a bitter smile. “Plans have changed, Ken.”After everything that happened tonight, I think my soul finally screamed loud enough. I’d had enough. I lost count of how many times I disrespected myself just to win Andrew’s heart. I forgot my own worth trying to prove my love. I gave up the purpose I once had, all for a wolf who did nothing but hurt and humiliate me.There was no reason to delay anymore. It was time to move on.Admitting it out loud was hard. I had been holding onto the same fragile hope every day, blindly believing that fate would one day choose me. But I was wrong.Now, I had no choice but to leave.A part of me still wondered, though. Was Andrew doing this on purpose? Did he really want to get rid of me? Did he hate me that much?Ken let out a sigh and spoke in a calm but serious tone. “I understand. I’ll take care of everything you need.”I was take

EmmaInside the Cavanaugh Hospital….The hospital room was large and clean. My bed was comfortable enough to be mistaken for a hotel bed rather than something used in the hospital. A vase of fresh flowers sat on the side table, and the air smelled faintly of lavender instead of antiseptics. I turned to my side a saw a doctor reading my chart, while a few nurses moved around quietly, checking on me. Andrew was nearby, observing. He leaned in and spoke to the doctor in a low voice.“I treated her wound quickly back in Dark Desert. Please check it again and give her something strong for the pain,” he said.The doctor nodded and thanked him.Even though Andrew wasn’t the one holding the tools, it was clear he had some kind of power here. The nurses moved quickly, and the doctor followed his requests without question. They treated me with care, like I was someone important.And I wasn’t used to that.For a moment, something warm settled in my chest. I turned my gaze to Ken. He was doing r

Andrew“I told you…I’m a man of my word,” Alpha Roger boasted as he waved the papers that sealed our deal.Beta James stood by while Alpha Roger looked at me with a smug grin. Around me, the room buzzed with some discussions but none of it reached me. My mind was elsewhere. No, with someone.Emma.Stan hadn’t shut up since the ceremony. His restless pacing in the back of my mind was growing louder, more irritating by the second.“You could at least make sure she’s breathing.”“Enough,” I muttered inside my head.Emma’s face popped into my head after that and I knew at that point that I needed to check on her. Not because I missed her, but because it would look bad if I didn’t at least check on her. I didn’t want whispers about how I left her alone. I didn’t need people doubting my leadership, or Stan howling in my head.Stan didn’t understand the weight of this decision. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. I have a job to do and I hoped that the reminder would

EmmaThe room fell silent. That one question hit the deepest part of me. It touched a pain I had tried so hard to hide. My chest tightened. Was I really that pitiful in other people’s eyes? I swallowed as the truth hurt more than I expected it to be.I took a deep breath. And then, I placed a hand on my stomach. I had been pretending to be strong for so long. Yet deep inside, I was falling apart. The smile I forced looked more like a sad mask than anything real.“Soon,” I said quietly. “I want to end this marriage soon… and start over with my baby.”I breathed in again. This time, deeper, like I was trying to make a release. I had been thinking about it more and more lately. And sadly, all of the thoughts and scenarios inside my mind only led to one destination. Letting go. This wasn’t just about me anymore. If I couldn’t save myself, then I had to at least try for the innocent soul inside me. For my baby, and the promise of a happy and better life for him.Ken moved closer and sat

EmmaI shed a tear not because of the pain beyond my wildest imagination, but because of who was holding the paper that led me into this permanent wound. My heart broke into a million pieces, reminded that Andrew was the one who held my hand closer to the mouth of these monsters.“How foolish…” I whispered, blaming myself for holding onto the same small hope I had kept for Andrew.The luna title I held was nothing but a name. There was no worth in carrying this title. I had no idea why the moon goddess chose me. But if we ever faced each other one day, I would ask her with this same heavy heart.“Was I cursed?”This stupidity might be a curse. Or a disease without a cure. Why couldn’t my heart understand that Andrew would never care? I had seen it multiple times. I had confirmed it through countless actions. And yet my heart clung to that small beacon of desperate hope that one day, everything would change like a tide switching its current unpredictably deep in the waters.I never lea
