The Alpha I Left Behind のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 17

It started drizzling again sometime during our conversation. The ocean breeze rattled the awning over my food truck.Sebastian's voice reached my ears, thick with barely restrained anger.Apparently, he thought that I wouldn't have left without saying goodbye if I weren't angry. He questioned me, asking me why I had disappeared for an entire year without a single word. In the end, he even asked me why I had not shown even the slightest emotion after finally seeing them again.He had assumed that a woman as emotionally fragile as I was should've burst into tears and thrown my arms around him the moment we were reunited after being apart for so long. In his head, I shouldn't be standing there and treating him like a complete stranger.To Sebastian, everything I was doing now was nothing more than a childish tantrum.The thought struck me as so absurd that I nearly started laughing.I had assumed he was aware that he had completely severed our ties when he returned to his lofty wo

From that day on, Sebastian and I became strangers.Even so, he continued doing whatever he pleased, shamelessly trailing after me. I did my best to ignore him.…A few days later, an unexpected visitor arrived in town."Sebastian! Was abandoning your own territory during a rebellion really worth it just for a weak woman?"Even though I had not seen her in a long time, I recognized Elina's voice immediately.She stood on the beach in a leather jacket, her blonde hair whipping in the wind. Anger blazed across her striking face.Sebastian did not answer. He simply stood on the steps, looking down at her with icy indifference. "Elina, you saved my life once. In return, I gave you the status of a Loyalist in my territory. We are even now. Go back to where you belong.""Why? Is all of this because of Faye? She's nothing but a worthless woman with a weak bloodline! You're an alpha. What is it about her that you can't forget?""Her bloodline may be weak, but she is still the mate Dia

Sebastian stopped pursuing me because he knew that the person I had become was someone he no longer deserved.Instead, he decided to take Leo back to the territory.The day they left, Leo kept looking back at me every few steps."Mama, I'll train hard!" he called out, fighting back tears.Leo said that because Sebastian had come to see me the day before.He knew there was no future for us, but he couldn't bear to have Leo suffer for his mistakes. "Back in the territory, Leo trained as hard as he could every day because he wanted to be strong enough to protect you. He missed you. He wanted to apologize to you. Faye, I failed you. You have every right to hate me. But Leo…" He hesitated, his voice catching. "Could you…"The once-proud alpha's eyes had turned red as he looked at me with a plea so humble it was almost painful.I understood what he meant.Leo was only four years old now. He wasn't the cold, heartless werewolf he would become in my previous life.I looked at Leo an

Many more years passed.The Silverfang Pack welcomed the youngest prodigy alpha in North Arcton history.His name was Leo. Rumor had it he was the son of the previous alpha and a mysterious woman.At 13, he defeated every challenger and united the fractured werewolf packs across North Arcton with an iron fist.The day Leo inherited the title, the former alpha, Sebastian, vanished from the territory. He had exiled himself to the frozen wilderness of Aliorna.No one knew why he'd done so.Still, hunters would occasionally catch sight of a lone figure through the snowstorm. It wasn't a wolf, but a man sitting alone beside a frozen lake, staring numbly toward the southern horizon like a statue sealed in ice.Anyone who betrayed the mate bond blessed by Diana would eventually face the harshest punishment.It was not divine retribution, but the tearing apart of his own soul. He had to endure the agony of being forever separated from his fated mate day and night, while feeling his str
