ATHALIAH The moment those words left my mouth, Damian’s expression shifted. First, his eyes widened like he couldn't believe I'd made that utterance. He stared at me like I'd lost my mind.“Share your mate?” He repeated my words like I had insulted him. “Is that what you think that is?”I stared at him, my eyes hollow. Every inch of me, completely exhausted. “What else should I call it? You even said I have to take care of her. Tell me Damian, what comes after that? Should I move my things and make room for her in our bed too?” “Watch your mouth.” Damian's jaws tightened.“You think I have immoral thoughts about Everly?” He asked, staring at me in disbelief.“I have never once thought of getting together with Everly. I would never betray our bond, you know that. You're my mate for goodness sake.” He ran his hand through his hair.“Your words are nothing but an insult to not just me, but my brother. You're heavily insulting Julian's memory, Athaliah.”I stood there, not saying a wor

ATHALIAH Wren didn't try to make me change my mind. She simply patted my shoulder before processing my discharge documents. After my discharge, I headed back to the Alpha house. If I wanted to leave successfully, I had to be strategic. Knowing Damian would never accept a divorce, I knew I had to be cautious about my escape plan. I simply can't disappear overnight. If that happens, Damian's suspicion would be raised and he'd likely send the pack guards after me.To hide my pregnancy and buy myself time to escape, coming back to the Alpha house was my last resolve. If I keep acting like the calm and composed Luna I've always been, there's no way anyone would know I have an escape plan on my mind.The cab pulled up in front of the Alpha house. I got out and headed in. Just one step into the living room, I paused, roaming my gaze around to make sure I entered the right house. Sure enough, it was indeed the Alpha house. So why does it scent so much like Everly?My brows lifted, Everly's

DAMIANAthaliah stood still, staring at me like I'd caught her doing something bad. She made no attempt to move, just gripping the box behind her.I let out a sigh.“You don't have to hide things from me. I'm your mate.”I covered the little distance between us, taking the box from her. Caring little about the contents, I set it aside on the nightstand.“Listen, I know you're hurt because of Everly's presence here…” I led her to sit on the bed. “I haven't been paying close attention to you these past few days, and it's my fault.” I put her hands together, gently rubbing my palm over them.She didn't stop me. She just sat there, quietly listening, which was very unusual. But seeing her like this hurt me in ways I couldn't describe—my Athaliah would never sit this silently next to me.“I need you to understand that the situation isn't entirely in my power,” I explained softly. “There's no need for you to distance yourself from me. I'm still your mate, Athaliah. Nothing has changed. I'm
