From Love to Betrayal_ The Alpha's Undoing
I clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms as I heard my mate, Alpha Gideon, speak about me to his pack.
“It’s a pity Ophelia’s so naive,” he said. “She still thinks I’d ever mark her as my Luna after everything.”
His voice dripped with contempt, as if he were talking about something absurd—not me, his mate, the she-wolf he once claimed would be his Luna.
“I don’t have any unusual tastes. I could pick any she-wolf off the street, and she’d be cleaner than her.”
Laughter rippled through the group, accompanied by nods of agreement.
“Would you mark me as your Luna?” Aurora, his Gamma and mistress, chimed in with a playful tone.
Through the crack in the door, I saw Gideon smile slyly, pulling her into his arms.
“Of course I would,” Alpha Gideon replied.
One of his bold packmates, clearly curious, asked, “How do we address them both? We can’t call them both Luna, right?”
“You idiot,” another muttered. “Gideon’s never acknowledged Ophelia’s status.”
“I can’t say much, but trust me, Gideon’s not marking a she-wolf like her.”
I leaned against the wall, heart sinking as I listened to them dissect my relationship with Alpha Gideon.
Suddenly, my phone pinged with an AirDrop message. Without thinking, I opened it.
It was a photo.
The image captured my mate and his gamma mistress in a tight embrace, completely oblivious to the world around them.
Then, Aurora smugly flashed her phone at me, sending another message.
“Ophelia, did you know that every time he’s with you, he feels sick for a week and has to come to me for comfort?”
“He said every time he touches you, it reminds him of how you debased yourself for those pack alliances. It’s disgusting.”
So, that’s why Gideon never acknowledged my status?
A chill spread through my body, freezing my veins...
“I’ll never mark Ophelia, but she’ll always be the she-wolf I love most. You’d better show some respect.”
He adjusted his clothes, then pulled out his phone to check it.
Usually, by now, I’d have already been in contact with him.
His breath hitched momentarily, a flicker of panic in his eyes as his fingers moved quickly across his phone screen.
Soon, I received his message:
“Ophelia, where are you?”
I took a deep breath and responded, “It’s raining today; I can’t come to the packhouse.”
After reading my message, his frown relaxed a bit. He then turned back, leaving a kiss on Aurora's cheek, whispering:
“Be good. I need to go back.”
Aurora clutched his hand, trying to keep him from leaving.
He pulled away without a second thought, looking deeply affectionate.
“I need to go back to her; she doesn’t like rainy days.”
Watching the scene impassively, I turned and walked away.
Later, I called my father.
“Dad, pull out all support from the Crimson Fang Pack.”
“Can you come pick me up in a few days?"
