Chapter 1
After seven years of bonding, my Alpha mate, Damon, had slept with every she–wolf from all the packs.
At 39 weeks pregnant, his mistress offended the Alpha of the other pack at the Alpha ball. To preserve the pack’s alliances, Damon insisted I apologize on her behalf.
I stared at him in disbelief.
“I’m pregnant. How am I supposed to kneel and apologize by kissing his shoes? What if I hurt the baby?”
He cut me off harshly.
“It’s just a kneel. Why have I never seen you act so delicate before?”
He forced me in front of the Alpha and pressed my head down to kiss his shoes in apology.
That was when my water broke.
His mistress snickered from the side, pinching her nose.
“It looks like she’s about to wet herself.”
That same day, I hemorrhaged during labor and nearly went into shock. The baby didn’t survive due to the premature birth.
Meanwhile, photos of Damon in bed with his mistress flooded every pack.
When Delilah, his sister, arrived at the hospital, my voice was eerily calm.
“You promised me that once I gave birth to the baby, you’d let me leave. Can I go now?”
Delilah’s eyes flashed with hesitation and reluctance.
“Elena, are you sure you want to leave? Damon was just being foolish and made a mistake. He doesn’t realize how good you are. Maybe… maybe you should…”
At that moment, a news notification popped up on my phone.
It was a video of Damon celebrating his mistress Genevieve’s birthday.
He was holding her hand from behind while they cut the cake, Genevieve wearing a high–necked dress, her bare skin marked with faint hickeys.
“They say Alpha Damon doesn’t care for his Luna, yet look at how well he’s celebrating her birthday. Luna really is lucky.‘
When Genevieve heard the word “Luna,” she flashed a sweet smile.
Others joined in the teasing.
“Alpha Damon, how about giving your ‘Luna‘ a French kiss?”
Damon didn’t clarify who Genevieve was. He just grabbed her waist and kissed her.
Delilah looked at me, her face flushed with shame.
She thought I’d cry, so she pulled me into her arms.
“Elena, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have forced you two together. I’ll let you go.”
But I didn’t cry. All my tears had been shed during labor.
“Do you want to see the baby one last time before you leave?”
The mention of my baby made my heart tighten.
That child was the one I almost died giving birth to, only to lose because of prematurity. It would be a lie to say I didn’t care.

My thoughts returned to the present as Delilah entered with the baby in her arms.
“Elena, are you sure you don’t want to see him just one more time…”
“Enough. Don’t say another word!”
I turned away, my nails digging into my palms.
Elena, I told myself, don’t look back.
Once I’d made the decision to leave, I couldn’t have any regrets.

Delilah froze at my words, halting her steps.
She handed the baby over to a nurse before furiously dialing Damon’s number.
“Delilah, didn’t I tell you? I’m on a business trip lately. Don’t call me…”
“Your video with another she–wolf, celebrating her birthday, is all over the packs. Do you think I’m blind?”
On the other end of the line, Damon’s tone was playful but tinged with irritation.
“Delilah, I remember you don’t care for the gossip. Was it Elena who ran and complained to you?”
“Let her take the call. I need to speak to her!”
I took the phone, and a woman’s soft moan drifted through the line.
Delilah’s eyes filled with tears in fury.
“Elena, a week from now. After the baby’s funeral and once you’ve recovered, you can leave.
