The Alpha’s Discarded Bride

Christine POVI listen to the whispers just outside the door, urgent and buzzing, from a few pack members who didn’t know I was overhearing their conversation as I look all beautiful in my wedding gown, waiting to walk down the aisle. “The mating ceremony is about to start. Everyone is anticipating it.” One says to the other. “I think I’m having a bad feeling about this. Did you hear? Alpha Harlan’s first love is threatening to jump off the pack house rooftop!”My heart tightens. Today is my mating ceremony with Harlan Stone, the alpha of our Silver Claw Pack, the supreme alpha. And there is his first love, Rebecca acting all shady again. I’ve lost count on how many times Rebecca has pulled this kind of stunt. I thought I had gotten used to it by now, like accepting the fact that she’s not happy that I’ll be the Luna to her childhood lover.But today? Today feels different, hitting me hard in the gut. If Rebecca makes another big scene, I know I will have to step back again. Let h

Christine POVI take a deep breath, forcing down the ache in my chest, and turn to look out the tall windows of the pack office, trying to calm my nerve. I suddenly remember how this pack office was once just a small building in the past. Back then, I gave up my position in my father’s pack, betraying alliances and facing exile threats, all to help Harlan rebuild after the rogue attacks weakened his pack. Now, he controls the entire territory as the supreme alpha.I remember that moonlit night we first claimed this space. “Let’s make this the heart of the pack,” I’d said, my voice full of hope. “I’ll always be by your side to lead my love.” I’d told him and he never said otherwise.In excitement of how I succeeded in helping him grow this pack, I’d rush into his arms. My wolf was thrilled at the contact, but he pushed me away gently and coldly. “I don’t like being touched like that.”I’d smiled anyway, ignoring the hurt, and hugged him tighter and he didn’t attempt to push me away th

CHRISTINEMy already shattered heart broke more when I heard Harlan threaten me with rejection. So he was ready to sever our bond just because of Rebecca? I've been too blind all these while to realize how much he truly loved Rebecca. It was so stupid of me to have had the slightest hope that I was going to replace her in his heart. All she ever did was to stress and emotionally blackmail him while I sacrificed everything and stood by him in all odds yet he still chose her over me. My heart shook so bad and my lips quivered, rejection was the least thing I expected. It was obviously bound to happen but it never crossed my mind.Yes, I was heartbroken, I got abandoned on a day that was supposed to be the most special day of my life but I never thought of severing our bond.I was only going to be mad at him for a while, stop being a pushover or a tool used to climb to the top and forgive him but hearing this shocking statement from him made me had a brutal wake up call. I had no

CHRISTINEHe didn’t answer immediately. He didn’t need to, his words settled slowly, like ash.“You just have to calm down first, I know this is going to be very hard for you to take in but just cool off first.” He said calmly. I was in complete shock, this can't be possible, there must be a mistake somewhere. “It was very early, a few weeks at most.” “Wait, you actually mean…” My throat tightened unexpectedly. “I was pregnant?”“Yes, but you lost the pup,” My heart dropped and I felt cold shivers instantly. I was carrying Harlan's child without knowing and now I've lost the child just like that?! Why are the most unfortunate things happening to me in just one day ! What did I do to deserve all of these pain and loss? I've been good all my life, why me? My heart cracked as I was trapped in a storm of conflicting emotions.“Many high-ranking wolves don’t notice at that stage. The mating ceremony would have sealed and strengthened it.” I almost laughed.How ironic! “I didn’t feel

HARLAN “So do you have to keep taking drugs till I eventually die? I still need her blood.” Rebecca cried out after taking her night dose of her meds. “Don't worry, I'm going to make sure I look for a blood type that matches yours.” I assured her tugging my shirt and she sniffed.“I'm scared Harlan, you wouldn't understand because it isn't you, I have nightmares these days and they are all relating to death. I might die if I don't get a blood transfusion. I feel sick everyday even though I keep taking my meds consistently.” I sighed not knowing what else to say to her, “You've been trying to look for a blood type that matches mine for days but you're still yet to find one. I don't know why you keep stressing yourself when you can easily get Christine to transfuse her blood to me. Even if she refuses, you can force her instead. Aren't you Alpha? She isn't supposed to defy you.” “Just let her be, we will look for another way.” “Let her be for what? Why are you allowing her to act
