All Chapters of I Broke My Bond with the Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Eric Keaton fastened my seatbelt and narrowed his eyes. "So what changed? Weren't you the type who'd rather suffer in silence than leave Derek?" He asked curiously.I looked out the window. My thoughts were a mess.During the seven years I was married to Alpha Derek, I endured his nights away from home and the way he spent every spare moment with his childhood sweetheart.He said he had been foolish and young when he chose me.He wanted me to understand. He could give me power, status, and resources, but his heart would always belong to Lisa Averton.Back then, I told myself we had a child. As long as my child was by my side, that was enough.That was until the day Derek brought Lisa into our home. My son, Dominic Anderson, ran to her excitedly and hugged her tightly."I wish you were my mom!" Dominic exclaimed.I sighed. That was when I realized there was no place for me in that house anymore.All those years, I poured out my love until there was nothing left.Even my own so

I never expected to run into the person I least wanted to see again like this.Derek's expression grew colder by the second. He seemed almost indifferent.Eliana subconsciously tightened her grip on my hand. She looked a little uneasy.I patted the back of her hand reassuringly.Derek remained silent. The air between us turned eerily still.I knew he was waiting for an explanation.So I used a mind-link to ask Eric to take Eliana home first."I ran into something. I need to sort it out. Please take care of Eliana for me."Eric agreed without hesitation."Eliana."I crouched down before smoothing her hair and packing up her backpack. I retrieved her favorite candy from my pocket."Go wait at the school gate for Uncle Eric, okay?""Mom." Eliana took a deep breath and asked carefully, "Will you come back?"I smiled. "You're my only child. If I don't come back to you, where else would I go?"Eliana smiled in relief. She nodded.She then picked up her backpack and ran toward

Back then, thinking about these things felt like being slowly torn apart.Now, I felt nothing at all.Apparently, our quiet conversation had been overheard. Dominic ran out in tears."Mom, I was wrong! Don't abandon me."He threw himself into my arms.No matter how I tried to pry him off, he clung to me stubbornly.I looked to Derek for help.To my surprise, he only gave me a helpless look."If I could control him, we wouldn't be here."Dominic had been raised as the treasured heir of the Blood Moon Pack. He believed that he could have anything he ever wanted."How about this? Let him stay with you for a while. I can't stop him anyway," Derek said.Both father and son looked at me with expectation.I lowered my gaze and thought quietly for a long moment. Mary's voice echoed in my mind. 'Take good care of Dominic.'After a long pause, I smiled. "Alright."It wouldn't last long anyway. Soon enough, he would grow tired of this life.He would grow tired of me, his mother who

"No."My reply came out dry and flat.Derek's eyes welled up with tears. He reached out and tried to pull me into his arms."Let's stop fighting, okay? Come back. Let's spend my birthday with Dominic."Before he could touch me, a taller figure pressed down on his wrist."Have some self-respect, Derek.""Uncle Eric!"Eliana ran joyfully up to Eric, and he lifted her into his arms."Happy birthday, Uncle Eric!"Only then did Derek and Dominic realize how foolish their words and actions had been.Eric kissed me politely on the cheek. He was grinning from ear to ear."Darling, thank you for preparing such a wonderful birthday dinner for me."I smiled and looked at the two werewolves standing awkwardly at the door."Since you're already here, would you like to come in and celebrate Eric's birthday together?"Dominic froze. The cake slipped from his hands and fell to the ground with a thud.He took a step back, and he ended up tumbling down the steps behind him. He scraped his
