7/21

I should have been the Northern Pack's future Female Alpha, but my mate Alpha King Aiden Blackwood asked me to give it all up. He insisted on keeping me glued to his side 24/7, claiming he'd die without his mate's touch. I loved him so deeply that I agreed. For seven years, I have been both his perfect Luna and his capable Beta, making his pack stronger day by day. I feel it's all worth it, everyone knows Aiden loves me desperately. Because I have trouble sleeping, he spent $10 Million to buy precious "moon tea" from a witch so I could rest well. But they don't know that every night when I fall asleep, Aiden brings Sarah—our kitchen omega—to our bed. The same wolf who called me "Little moon" would fuck her right beside my unconscious body. The day the doctor told me I was pregnant with twins, I discovered it all. I held back the burning in my heart and chest, and with a weary gaze, I spoke to the Goddess of the Moon: "Goddess, I wish to leave this world." "Would you be willing to give up all this, my child?" I gently rubbed my belly and nodded firmly. The goddess sighed and said: "In three days, I will take you away."

Tenía nueve meses de embarazo cuando el Consejo de Lobos envió un reporte de recursos a las habitaciones de la Luna. En él aparecían los gastos mensuales de mi compañero. Durante dos años seguidos, mi compañero del destino, el Alfa de la manada, le había estado entregando en secreto a una loba acceso al territorio, protección y suministros. Sin falta, cada mes. El primer registro era de hace dos años, el mismo mes en que perdí a mi primer cachorro. De pronto apareció una notificación: una solicitud de contacto. El nombre decía: “La compañera del Alfa”. Me sentía extrañamente tranquila; puse una mano sobre mi vientre abultado y acepté. Me escribió. “Ya viste el reporte, ¿no?” No le respondí; en su lugar, abrí su perfil. La publicación más vieja era del 21 de abril de hace dos años. Una loba aparecía apoyada en el pecho de un Alfa. Le habían recortado la cara en la foto, pero la marca en su hombro era clara. La reconocí: era la marca de Alfa de mi compañero. El texto decía: “Gracias por elegirme en mi noche de mayoría de edad”. El 21 de abril. Esa fue la noche en que me quedé desangrándome en la sala de curación, perdiendo a mi bebé. Él me había dicho que estaba fuera por asuntos de la manada. Seguí revisando sus fotos. Entrenaba libremente en áreas exclusivas para Alfas. Usaba recursos reservados para su Luna. La cuidaban como si ya fuera la pareja que debía estar a su lado. Cada publicación transmitía el mismo mensaje: él la eligió a ella. Fijado hasta arriba había un reporte médico: estaba embarazada del cachorro del Alfa. Dejé el celular y regresé a nuestra recámara. Entonces me llegaron más cosas: fotos y videos. Me los mandó a propósito, para presumir que el amor del que yo antes estaba tan orgullosa ya no era para mí. Me senté despacio mientras sentía a mi cachorro moviéndose dentro de mí y dolor me recorría. Solo entonces lo entendí: me había traicionado por completo. No quiero un amor así. No me quedaré en esta manada. Cuando nazca mi cachorro, me iré y me llevaré a su heredero conmigo. Que el Alfa busque en cada territorio, y aunque recorra cada frontera y destruya la manada por arrepentimiento, nunca nos va a encontrar.
