Kneel for Love: Alpha's Plea
In my tenth year of being the Luna of the Nocturne pack, the first love of my mate, Alpha Stellan Caldwell, returns to the pack.
With a bouquet of dead wolfsbane in her hands, Nigella Starveil barges into the anniversary of the mate-bonding ceremony between Stellan and me.
"Stellan, I still remember you telling me that you're willing to endure all types of poison in the world just for my sake. Does that promise still count?"
Before Nigella finishes her sentence, Stellan, my powerful yet distant Alpha, feels his expression change instantly.
He doesn't even bother sparing me a glance. All he sees is the bouquet of dead flowers that are equally deadly to Nigella.
Stellan rushes up to Nigella and swipes the bouquet out of her hands roughly, not caring about the fact that everyone is staring at him right now.
Silence befalls the hall instantly. From my position behind Stellan, I know right away that I've been reduced to the biggest laughingstock in the Northern Territories.
The fact that Stellan doesn't hesitate to protect Nigella becomes the biggest insult that humiliates me to no end.
It turns out that ten years of companionship and shared struggles are nothing compared to the bouquet of dead wolfsbane in Nigella's hands.
After that, Nigella shoots me a smug and contemptuous look while rubbing her reddened wrist.
"Do you see now? This is proof that he loves me. You've already tried to do your part as the breeding machine, so you can now retire from your position."
In the past, Stellan had barged into the forbidden lands in search of Nigella. He almost got shredded into a thousand pieces there.
But now, he's still willing to humiliate me in public just for her sake.
