While He Played Daddy, Our Pup Died
I am Alpha Asher's fated mate. His Luna, blessed by the Moon Goddess.
But when I started bleeding out, our pup's life hanging by a thread, Asher was at a party for her son—Seraphina's son—celebrating his first shift.
I cried out to him through our mind-link, begging for help. He just sounded annoyed.
"Bleeding? How long are you going to keep up this act? Last time it was a headache that turned out to be nothing. Now it's bleeding. Aurora, enough is enough. I'm at Leo's first shift party. This is a huge day for him. I can't just leave."
Then I heard Seraphina's child call him "Daddy," and Asher's voice, so full of love, answer him.
Before I could say anything else, he ruthlessly severed the link.
Three hours later, the doctors declared my pup dead.
I sent Asher the wolfstone that held our pup's shattered soul, then went to the pack elders alone. "Asher has betrayed me. I demand the severing of our mate bond."
