Goodbye, My Mate
I was reborn.
Opening my eyes on the sofa, the television flickered before me, broadcasting another financial news segment about my husband, Jasper Brolin.
The Alpha of the Moonblood pack, a man who had sat at the top of the billionaire list for years, was speaking with his usual cool authority.
Broad-shouldered and sharp-featured, he carried an air of cold command that made him untouchable.
Whenever he stepped into the public eye, the crowd surged with screams and breathless admiration.
My marriage to him was the envy of our entire circle, and every woman wished to step into my shoes.
As I watched the screen, memories of my tragic death in my last life came rushing back, sending a quiet ache through my chest.
My wolf rumbled low in my chest.
"So we're back. Now what?"
"Break the bond," I whispered. "I'm leaving him."
"He'll never agree to that."
"That's why I need her help," I replied, thinking of the woman I had always disliked—Halle.
Halle walked into the café, a smug smirk was plastered on her face.
Having grown up alongside Jasper, she was regarded as his inner circle, and people never failed to give her the highest courtesy.
I slid a mate-bond dissolution document across the table.
"I need your help, Halle. And of course, there's something in it for you too."
She glanced through the papers, suspicion flashing in her eyes.
"Are you leaving him?" she asked.
My voice was calm, "Maybe you're the one he really wants by his side."
In my last life, I was the perfect Mrs. Brolin, envied by all, yet never the one he held closest.
This time, I would take my unborn pup and leave quietly.
