The Day I Stopped Loving My Alpha

serena's povI had always heard the old belief that every wolf carries a white moonlight inside his heart—the she-wolf he loves most, yet can never truly possess. For years, I thought Adrian Blackwood was different. We had loved each other when we were young, and what we shared had always felt deeper than anything else.But the world seemed to be nothing more than a stage built for white moonlights, and Adrian was no exception. I had been beside him since I was eighteen—ten years, more than two thousand nights together, countless moments of closeness, and memories I had once believed belonged only to us. Yet somehow, none of those years could compete with one brief glimpse of another she-wolf from his youth.It was almost absurd. I had spent ten years trying to understand one wolf's heart, and even after all that time, I still couldn't reach the deepest part of it. What kind of love could survive for so many years, hidden away inside him, without ever fading?My thoughts wandered, and

Serena's povWhen I returned after handing out the meeting materials, Elena was already sitting down in my usual seat. I stopped briefly, intending to tell her, but before I could say anything, Adrian spoke."From now on, you'll sit over there."Elena offered me an apologetic smile. "I'm still new here, and there's a lot I need to learn from Adrian. Sitting closer to him will make things easier."Adrian had already made the decision, so there was nothing left for me to argue about. I gathered my documents in silence, picked up my laptop, and moved to the corner. No one in the meeting room dared say a word, but I could feel their eyes following me with a pity that felt worse than open criticism—clinging to my back like thorns.Halfway through the meeting, Adrian suddenly questioned one of the projects in a severe voice that anyone who knew him recognized immediately as him getting angry. "Why hasn't this project been completed? Who is responsible for it?"Silence settled over the room

serena's povI had barely finished ordering the food and drinks when Ryan arrived, his face brightening the moment he saw his favorite dishes waiting on the table."Serena, have you seriously never thought about coming to Travis Business to work as my secretary? Name your price.""Thanks for the offer, Ryan, but my contract with Blackwood Business hasn't ended yet," I replied with the answer I always gave. "I'm not planning to leave for now."My abilities were good enough that plenty of people in the industry wanted to recruit me. There had even been a time when a drunk business partner tried to poach me directly in front of Adrian. Adrian hadn't said anything then, but later that night, he took out his frustration on me in bed. Eventually, I signed a long-term contract with Blackwood Business because I wanted to reassure him.Ryan sighed, both impressed and envious. "Adrian really is lucky. Having someone as capable as you working for him explains a lot about Blackwood Business's suc

serena povThe next morning, as soon as I arrived at the pack office, Chloe pulled me aside mysteriously and showed me what she had discovered earlier. "It looks like Elena spent the night with Adrian," she said, keeping her voice low, afraid someone might overhear.On her phone was the evidence she had secretly snapped. "This morning they arrived in the same car, and Elena's wearing the same clothes as yesterday."I glanced at the photo on the screen. The wolf stood by the car door, half his face in shadow, head lowered as he watched Elena step out. The angle was subtle—almost tender, as if they lingered in the moment.I stared in silence for a few seconds before looking away, then tipped the pills from my palm into my mouth. I swallowed them with several gulps of hot water, the scalding liquid slid down my throat. It didn't hurt. It really didn't hurt at all.I spent the morning organizing all the project files I had handled and even took the time to draft my resignation letter. Dur
