“I’ll sign the divorce papers—but don’t come looking for me afterward.” At that moment, Harley stirred awake, blinking at her father and the strange woman beside him. My heart broke a little more. “C’mon, Richard,” Delilah said with a smirk. “Don’t waste your time on this... unfaithful mess.” Tears pricked my eyes as sweat dotted my forehead. Eight years. Eight long years I’d devoted to this man, giving him everything, believing he was the best I’d ever have. Delilah gave me a mocking smile as they left the room.

“That’s my ex-wife.” Athena didn’t move or say anything. She just looked at me, waiting. “I told you about her,” I continued. My voice was low. “She left eight years ago… after my brother died. I had just become Alpha, and I was grieving. I thought she would stay with me. I thought we’d face it together, but she said she couldn’t handle it and said I had changed.

I watched her choose Noah over me and didn't fight for her because I thought that's what love meant—letting her be happy, even if it wasn't with me. But I was just being a coward. My first love, Elena, had died in a rogue attack when I was twenty-three. She was pregnant with our child and I found her body in the ruins of what was supposed to be our future home.

That fight brought us closer, and we ended up getting married. I promised always to be good to her and never leave her side, no matter what. She made the same promise to me, and we both meant it at the time. However, people changed. Even the deepest love could fizzle out.

“How do you know the Virellis?” “You mean, the family my husband almost married into?” I sigh. “Well, at least now I know I have the right person.” She takes a step back. “Please…please. I know nothing. They fired me about fifteen years ago—” “Sixteen.” I cut her off. I was eight when they chased her out. It’s been sixteen years. “What?” She falters, shaking her head. “Please, I beg you. I know nothing.” “Oh my…” I throw my head back. “Please relax.”

I notice the man's wedding photo in the announcement video, where he smiles broadly with his arm around Tiana. He even includes a caption—"Class dismissed. Marriage in session.

Tiana even comments, "You were worth the wait." I scroll further and spot a comment from Calvin Guest, my best friend. "It's finally official! I've been rooting for this couple since

"You enjoyed everything that came with being with me, the status and opportunities. But all the while, you kept thinking about your first love. You're asking why I did this? I just wanted you to see what kind of person you really are." I reached into my pocket and pulled out the wedding ring we had chosen together. Right in front of everyone, I tossed it onto the floor at her feet. "From this moment on, our engagement is over. We'll go our separate ways." "No!" Natasha collapsed to her knees, trying to grab the leg of my pants. "I was wrong. Please don't leave. Don't abandon me! We've been together for ten years! How could you do this to me?"
