Semua Bab I Am Done Being Your Doormat, Alpha: Bab 21 - Bab 30

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

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

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 woul

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

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.
