All Chapters of 30 Days To Leave My Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

MAELIS “Your baby has one month to live,” Sera my doctor and friend announced. I blinked rapidly, inching closer to him, wanting to be sure my ears had not heard wrong. “What… what did you just say?” My voice barely above a whisper. Sera didn’t respond immediately and that told me everything before she opened her mouth to speak again. “You are two months pregnant, Mae,” she said gently. “And because the alpha hasn’t marked you, the bond is unstable. The baby is drawing energy directly from your body to survive.” “Your body can’t sustain it for long. You have one month, so does the baby.” One month. The words echoed in my head until they stopped feeling like words and started sounding like a death sentence. I exhaled slowly, but the air felt stuck halfway in my chest. A baby. Theron’s baby. For a second, just one second, a warm feeling spread through my chest, and a glimmer of hope sprouted in me. Maybe, this would finally make him look at me different

MAELISI stumbled back, cradling my throbbing wrist. “Theron, it’s not what you think. She grabbed my hand and pressed it against her neck herself, I swear by my chil… I mean I swear on the moon goddess.”“Enough,” he bellowed, his eyes staring daggers at me. “I know what I saw Maelis.”“You didn’t see everything. You walked in at the end,” I protested, desperately wanting him to believe me. Nerine sniffled softly. “I only came to check on her,” she said, her voice trembling. “I was worried she was upset about what you said concerning our wedding but I got this in return.”“I understand her though, Tee." She winced, touching her neck gently. "She's finding it hard to process my return and Caden's presence."Theron’s eyes returned to me. “She just came back and this is how you treat her? She’s your sister Maelis! I know you to be a lot of things but certainly not this.”His eyes narrowed, as if he was trying to understand my actions but then his gaze hardened. “I didn’t do anything

MAELISFor a few seconds, I froze in my spot, staring at Theron from across the council chamber, waiting for him to take back his words.But he didn’t.Instead, he proceeded to shatter my hope completely, “Not only would I decide when to unbind the union but also to decide when everything ends.”When he meant everything, I needed no one to tell me he had meant the contract.My fingers curled slowly against my dress. A few hours ago, he had agreed to let me go, and he had looked at me as though my request meant nothing and said he would arrange the council meeting to officially announce it.Now, he had taken that promise back in front of everyone.I forced myself to stand straight. “Alpha,” I said, keeping my voice steady despite the tremor in my chest. “You agreed to my request earlier.”His grey eyes settled on me. “I changed my mind.”He said it so casually that anyone in the room could tell he didn’t actually think about it before changing his mind.It felt like the life I had spen

THERONI walked Nerine back to her room with my arm around her shoulders. She leaned into me the entire way as she continued to sob quietly. Once the door shut behind us, she turned fully into my chest and stayed there, shuddering. “She’s always hated me, Tee,” she whispered. “Even when we were little. I tried so hard to be good to her, but the second our parents brought me home she looked at me like I’d stolen something that was hers.”I ran my fingers down her hair, slowly. The anger from earlier still hadn’t left me. I could still feel it in my chest. Mae was becoming a pain in the neck, and I’d have to tame her before she got too wild. I made her who she is today and I can easily strip her of everything she is. “I won’t forgive her for what she did to you,” I growled lightly. Nerine’s fingers twisted into the front of my shirt, whimpering, “I only came back because I couldn’t keep Caden from you any longer. I never wanted to hurt her. I just… I wanted us to be a family again…

MAELIS“Ahh.” Pain shot through my stomach the second my body hit the floor.The pain spread too quickly, sharp and unbearable, stealing the breath from my lungs. I tried to push myself up with my hands, but my arms gave out in weakness.My forehead pressed against the cold floor as I struggled to inhale air. I bit my lip hard, trying to keep myself from crying out in pain.The pain grew sharper around my lower abdomen, and Mia, my wolf whined in alert. The baby was in danger. I could feel it. Meanwhile, Nerine stood over me, and for a moment she just looked down without a word, smiling in victory. “You should watch where you step, sister,” she said sweetly before turning around. I remained on the floor, the pain persisting as my vision began to blur. Every breath sent a new wave of pain through me and I gripped the floor beneath me tightly for support. Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps approaching filled the hallway and she stopped in her tracks. The smile disappeared from her
