The Alpha Delayed My Labor After I Rejected Him
I was once the cherished princess of the Silver Moon Pack, adored by all.
Back then, I fell for Kael, one of the pack's rogues. But when I grew bored of our little fling, I cast him aside without a second thought.
Years later, my pack was destroyed and my parents were killed. Kael, however, had risen to become the Alpha of a powerful new pack.
He claimed me, forcing me to become his Luna.
Everyone said I was lucky, but they didn't know the truth.
They didn't know that he brought different she-wolves back to our territory every night.
And through our mate bond, every moment of their intimacy seared my soul like a blazing fire.
I never cried, never protested, simply enduring it all in silence.
But my silence only made Kael more volatile.
This time, he went a step further. He got his Beta, Chole, pregnant.
Still, I remained calm. Enraged, Kael slammed me against a rough stone wall.
"Elara, do you love me or not?"
I had thought his outbursts were a twisted sign of his love, that he was waiting for me to break.
But then, Chole and I went into labor at the same time.
I begged him to take me to the pack hospital first, and wanted to tell him that I had no choice when I rejected him back then.
He pulled me into a tight embrace, only to shove me away moments later. "See? I knew you would break."
"Drop the act. Do you really think you're still that high and mighty princess?"
He ignored my pleas, ignored the life of his own pup inside me.
He swept Chole into his arms and left without a backward glance.
His cold voice echoed through our mind-link. "Don't worry, I'm not abandoning you."
"You deserve to feel a fraction of the pain I felt when you cast me aside. Savor it."
