All Chapters of The Breaking Point of Mate: Giving Up on My Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Melanie's POVIt was my birthday, and it was the day my mate—Alpha Archer—had promised to finally give me the permanent mark under the moonlight.Every year, he only gave me temporary marks—those fleeting imprints that were gone with the slightest whisper, like a candle flame in the wind.This year, he'd finally agreed to truly mark me on this night of the full moon.That meant I wouldn't be a hidden Luna anymore. I'd be the one he officially acknowledged before the Moon Goddess and everyone else.I made sure they cleared a spot in the woods, set up a moonlit altar, and decorated it with silver stones and flowers that symbolized loyalty.The air smelled faintly of lavender, my favorite scent.My wolf, Frost, was practically doing backflips in my mind.She was howling with excitement, almost shattering my concentration. She couldn't wait to be marked by Archer, to be completely accepted."He's finally going to claim us, Melanie," she whispered deep in my consciousness. "He's finally go

Melanie's POVI closed my eyes, listening to the heavy sound of my own breathing.The mating bond, like a tightly pulled string, suddenly tore with a violent, agonizing intensity. It was as if a sharp blade had sliced through my soul.The pain wasn't just physical; it was a profound, spiritual tearing.I forced my eyes open, realizing I had somehow walked into the Moonlight Forest.That invisible cord was pulling me, compelling me, as if we were destined to be driven toward the same point by this pain.Even so, my mind was still spinning—why did it hurt so much?Where was he? Why was I here?As my vision cut through the trees, I saw them: Archer and Camille standing together.She was sitting next to him, laughing so naturally, so intimately. His arm was wrapped around her waist, his fingers gently tracing her back.Watching the scene, I felt my entire world collapse in an instant.And Trista, the child I had given birth to, almost dying in the process, was sitting on Camille's lap, en

Third Person's POVThe beta, Herbert, had been busy for a few days. Today, he needed to report to Archer via video conference.When they were wrapping up, he suddenly remembered Melanie's resignation. "By the way, regarding—"Although he told Melanie he would arrange the handover quickly, Herbert wanted to confirm with Alpha Archer when exactly she should leave.But the words caught in his throat. He suddenly recalled that when Melanie joined the company, Alpha Archer had clearly stated that all her corporate matters should be handled by the system. There was no need to report them to him specially.And it was true.In all these years at the company, Archer had never once asked about Melanie.When he ran into her, he treated her like a complete stranger.Two years ago, Melanie's performance was outstanding. HR planned to promote her and even mentioned it to Archer, implying they would drop it if he disagreed.Archer had frowned impatiently and reiterated that he would not interfere. H

Melanie's POVAt a coffee shop outside UCLA, Elmer poured me a cup of coffee and asked, "How have you been doing lately?"I lowered my gaze and smiled. "Pretty well. Except... I'm getting a divorce."Elmer clearly hadn't expected that answer. He paused, then quietly said, "I'm sorry.""It's fine."He was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "So, what are your plans? Do you want to come back to the company?""I was thinking about it, but..."Elmer didn't press my concerns. He just looked at me earnestly. "Melanie, the company needs you. You're part of the team. I want you to come back and lead.""I..."Seeing Elmer's serious expression, I found it hard to explain my worries.It wasn't that I didn't want to go back. The field of artificial intelligence was moving too fast.I had been out of the industry for six years. Even if I returned now, I was afraid I couldn't keep up, let alone lead everyone at the forefront like I used to.Elmer and I hadn't seen much of each other over the year

Melanie's POVMy steps stopped dead.My eyes were fixed on the moment Camille hurriedly got off Archer's lap.Frost suddenly let out a piercing wail in my mind.The mating bond, which should have been intertwined with Archer, felt like it was being brutally severed by a dull knife.A sharp pain shot through my veins, racing to my limbs.I gripped the tray tightly. My knuckles were white, but I couldn't stop my fingers from shaking. Half the coffee sloshed over the rim, splashing onto the web of my hand.The heat made me instinctively flinch. The tray crashed to the floor with a clatter.The coffee cups shattered. The brown liquid seeped into the floor cracks, mirroring my fragmented emotions.Archer's expression was terribly dark. A low growl rumbled in his throat. His golden-brown pupils instantly narrowed into thin, vertical slits.A chilling aura from a high-ranking Alpha wrapped around the entire office like a cold wave.He said coldly, "Who allowed you to come here?"That aura wa
