Short Story's Blurb:After five years together, I, Vesta Blake, find out Lucien, my Alpha mate, has canceled our anniversary dinner date to spend time with Charmaine, the Beta's daughter he's been close to since childhood. The betrayal sinks in as I confront him, his dismissive response shattering the love I've held onto for so long. Deciding enough is enough, I break up with him and reclaim my independence. But Alpha Lucien starts to start chasing me, craving me even after our break-up and rejection. ***Chapter 1: The BreakupFive years have been nothing now that he had chosen her over me. The full moon outside the window could have been the perfect company for me and Alpha Lucien’s anniversary dinner date had it not been for Charmaine—the Beta’s daughter who captured his heart ever since they were young. For once, I thought they were just friends. But it seems, I’m the one who looks like vying for Alpha

The Feast of the Rose Moon was one of my favorite pack gatherings. Not only because it marks the beginning of spring, but also because it’s a huge part of our pack traditions of giving thanks to the Moon Goddess and strengthening our relationship with one another as a pack.It’s been a month since Alpha Lucien and I broke up. And though I’m crying less and less each night, I can definitely say that there is still an ember of my love for him that remains ignited in my heart.The Feast of the Rose Moon was held at the Rose Moon Hotel itself. The celebration lasts for three days and all of the packmembers are given a free stay at the hotel. A fresh scent of roses found its way towards me, filling the air with its bold sweetness and soft aroma.The concierge and I reached our room and it was the most expensive room I’ve ever seen—close to the grandiose of the penthouse that Lucien and I once shared.“Thank you,” I said to the concierge and he gave me a soft smile before vanishing in the h

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my hotel room. Last night, when I reached my room, I spent half of my night drowning my sorrows in the bathtub, chugging down a bottle of red wine as I cry. It was only three in the morning when I realized I made the bathtub as my temporary bed.As my footsteps neared the door, I realized it’s the last day of the Feast of the Rose Moon.“Who is it?” “Room service for breakfast from Alpha Lucien!”I gasped—no, I groaned and massaged my forehead as I opened the door.Lucien didn’t run after me last night. Why would he?He got the love of his life across him and his best friend beside him, what am I to him?Well, I’m just a second choice and second priority—a backup for him in case one woman leaves him, he has an extra woman behind.But now, he’s winning me back through some breakfast delivery.The hotel’s butler brought me a table full of food and the meals were piping hot. There were scrambled eggs, pancakes, egg benedicts, fried rice, It

The sound of the slap seemed to lingered. None dare to open their mouth to speak. Everything was starting to make sense now. So Lucien really did have feelings for Charmaine. I wasn’t imagining things all this time. My gut was right. That explains why he was always so eager to be there for her, more than for anyone else. More than for me. Not even Fate or our mating bond can stop him from following Charm around like some obsessive dog who always wants to be there for his possessive master. Charmaine broke the silence.“Vesta, calm down. There has to be some kind of misunderstanding,” she urged, her voice reverberating with fake concern. “Oh, there is a misunderstanding!” I turned to Alpha Lucien, who’s still clutching his face from my slap. “You’re dating me but you also want to date Charm?” I hissed, “Where does your loyalty and heart really lies, Alpha? Or it doesn’t get tired in living in lies?” “Vesta, I’m sorry I missed our anniversary.” Alpha Lucien’s voice blasts through t

My work on the next day became chaotic. Gone were the days of a perfect work streak. A newly hired nurse bumped me as I opened a door, spilling a dozen iced coffees all over me. My hair, my face, my white uniform, even my feet were all freezing and smelling like almond macchiato. His apologies were genuine even when he was stuttering but I simply waved an idle hand off and told him to be careful next time. Even when it's me who should be careful. I know Lucien’s late-night visit always has a negative impact on my life—whether at work or in person. Well, now it seemed he managed to check both. Although it still flashed in my mind the raw sadness in his eyes, the pure guilt. What if...what if he’s really now accepting the truth that he’s been the one at fault in our relationship? I shook my head. I should never think about him again. My lunch break came and I heard two females gossiping behind me. “I think they’re dating!” one said cheerfully. “Nah. Charmaine is just clingy towar
