All Chapters of Pushing Away the Light in My Life: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

It was no secret to the entire Moonshadow pack that their Alpha, Alexander Steelclaw, was a perfect mate. He had countless suitors, yet he was devoted only to his mate, Alice Clearwater.Though he suffered from a mate marking rejection disorder, he traveled to healing centers across every pack for her sake.He was terrified of heights, but when he learned Alice loved extreme sports, he secretly had a bungee platform built on a cliff's edge and nearly died in the attempt.When her labor took a dangerous turn, he shifted into his wolf form, charged into forbidden territory, and returned covered in wounds just to obtain a vial of elixir from the Moon Goddess' sacred spring to sustain her energy. Even in his fevered dreams, he cried out, "Save Alice first!"For 50 years, Alexander granted Alice every wish, spoiling her until she became the most cherished she-wolf in the tribe.Everyone asked, "Alice, were you the Moon Goddess herself in a past life? How else could you have landed such

At the campsite, Alexander, who was probably feeling guilty, went out of his way to fuss over Alice. He kept bringing her drinks, grilling meat for her, and checking if she needed anything.His friends teased, "Alexander, you're spoiling Alice rotten!"However, all Alexander did was smile.As the evening went on, Anna got drunk. Her cheeks flushed a deep red as she clung to him playfully. "Alexander, you've got to take responsibility for kissing me. Yesterday, you even unhooked my bra…"The whole group fell silent.The skewer of grilled meat slipped from Alice's hand and hit the ground. "Is that true?"Alexander's expression soured. "Alice, hear me out..."However, Alice simply got to her feet and walked away. He chased after her and grabbed her wrist. "Alice, Anna had an asthma attack yesterday. I had to help her unclasp her bra so I could rub her chest to ease her breathing. I swear I kept my eyes closed the whole time. I didn't cheat on you!"Alice let out a laugh, but tea

Alexander waited from morning till night at the entrance of Moonshadow Academy. He made countless calls to Alice, but every one of them went straight to voicemail. His mind-link attempts vanished into silence as well.It was evening when he finally scrolled through the pack forum and saw a photo of Alice standing beside another wolf in front of the grand gates of the Royal Wolf Kingdom College of Medicine.She was smiling so brightly, giving off a kind of happiness he had never once seen on her face when she was with him.His communicator slipped from his fingers and clattered to the ground. He picked it up and dialed again, only to find that he'd been blocked. Then, he tried to reach out through the mind-link, but it was severed. Alexander crouched at the academy gate, redialing the number that would never connect, over and over.College freshmen streamed past, whispering among themselves. However, he heard none of it. Only one thought looped endlessly in his mind—Alice had aban

Alice slammed the door shut mercilessly behind her. Alexander crumpled to the floor as blood slowly dripped onto the tiles.When Sauliel found Alice, she was alone, crouching in a dim corner of the dormitory. His heart ached at the sight. He walked over and gently pulled her into his arms. "It's okay now. I'm here."Alice looked up at him. Her eyes were red-rimmed. Just that single glance was enough to make him feel sorry for her all over again."Did Alexander come looking for you?"She shook her head. "I don't want to attend the networking event anymore. I just want to leave this place.""Okay. We'll head back to the capital."Before returning to the capital, Sauliel brought her out to clear her mind. They strolled along the riverbank, ate street food, and even went bungee jumping. For the first time in a long while, Alice genuinely laughed.When they got back to the dormitory, Alexander was still waiting at the door.Sauliel rolled up his sleeves, ready to throw a punch, bu
