Alpha Betrayal: I'm Pregnant, He Has Another Pup

When we arrived at the altar, we knelt before the Moon Goddess's statue, praying for a moonstone to bless our pup with safety and health.

"Rebecca, you must be tired. I'll have someone take you home first. I have some official matters nearby to handle, so I need to deal with them. I'll come back later to be with you," said Christopher.

He arranged everything thoughtfully, seeming very considerate.

I was indeed a little tired, but I didn't get in the car. Instead, I walked along the edge of Moon Lake and rested on the far side of the altar for a while.

Just then, I heard a man and a woman murmuring behind the tree, and the man's voice was one I recognized instantly.

He said, "Scarlett, you're still weak. Be careful."

"Christopher, you have no idea how much I missed you while you were away. But now, it seems Rebecca has completely taken my place in your mind," Scarlett replied.

The altar of the Moon Goddess represented pure love, yet there they were, meeting in secret. It was an utter desecration.

Christopher held Scarlett gently in his arms. His voice was soft and indulgent. "What nonsense are you talking about?

"I came to see you, didn't I? Look, this is the moonstone I specially prayed for the two of you. It'll surely bless our pup with a safe birth."

Scarlett accepted the moonstone and nestled into Christopher's embrace. "It's beautiful, but what if Rebecca finds out?"

"Don't worry. I'll just trick her with some random blue stone. She's easy to fool," Christopher replied.

I thought Christopher's conscience might have stirred, but I hadn't realized he never meant it for the pup in my womb.

Scarlett was still full of concern. "Christopher, you gave me all of Luna's authority and duties. She's the Alpha King's daughter and has never endured this kind of slight. What if she grows jealous and bullies me after delivering the pup?"

Christopher chuckled lightly. "You're overthinking it. Your womb carries the future Alpha of our pack. Once our pup is born, I'll give it the position of Alpha heir. By then, even Luna will have to follow your lead."

He paused for a moment and continued with an icy voice, "But knowing Rebecca's temperament, she won't accept it right away. When the time comes, I'll have the elders put pressure on her.

"For her daughter's sake, she won't dare stop me from choosing the Alpha heir. You'll be the mother of the next Alpha."

I crouched behind the tree, trembling uncontrollably.

He wasn't just having an affair with Scarlett. He was even trying to force me to give up Luna's authority, making me the laughingstock of the entire pack.

It was utterly ridiculous. I walked away silently.

Christopher must have forgotten the reason he ever rose to the Alpha throne.

If I hadn't chosen him back then, he would still be that outcast bastard son. His brother would've taken the Alpha title and likely cast him out of the pack as a Rogue.

But instead of showing the slightest gratitude, he repaid me by trying to topple me.

Hearing their triumphant laughter from across the way, I clenched my fists, forcing back my tears.

I wouldn't shed another tear for Christopher. He wasn't worth it.
