My Alpha Lover’s Sweetheart Is Back
Chapter 5
Dylan stopped what he was doing right away.
Eleanor’s voice was trembling with sobs.
Then, she turned to leave.
“Eleanor!”
He teleported away.
When he teleported, his movement was too fast. He tore my wound open again.
I could feel the pain.
I wanted to cry, but somehow, I laughed at myself for trusting him again.
It was Tanya who found me, the bed had already been soaked with my blood.
When I woke up again, an elder from the pack called and asked me how the preparations for the annual Full Moon Ceremony were going.
The Full Moon Ceremony was extremely important for an Alpha. All the elders would come to pay their respects, along with members from other packs.
Every year, I was the only one handling everything, as his Luna.
I usually arranged all the details according to Dylan's preferences. It required a lot of time and energy, because I needed to confirm every guest, every seat and every decoration.
The elders asked, “Is everything okay?”
I took a deep breath and said, "Yes.”
This would be my last Full Moon Ceremony as Dylan’s Luna.
After 2 days, I wouldn’t be Dylan’s Luna or even stay in this pack anymore.
On that day, I was among the guests, busy arranging seats for everyone.
When I turned around, I saw Dylan and Eleanor walking in.
Dylan was wearing the blue tuxedo I had bought him and Eleanor was wearing a blue dress that matched his, as if they were the Alpha and the Luna.
He and Eleanor kept chatting with other werewolves, as if I was just one of the servants.
Then it came to the part where everyone presented gifts to pay tribute to the Alpha. Dylan received many valuable gifts.
What I had prepared was a battle bracelet made of pigeon blood red crystals. Such a battle bracelet would enhance the owner's defensive abilities during battles, and I had started searching for it half a year ago.
A guest said, “There were very few pigeon blood red crystals like this in the world. It would cost more than a million!”
“It must have been bought at an auction, only something this worthy can be used as a gift for our Alpha.”
I saw Dylan’s eyes light up when he looked at the gift. I had been with him for 3 years. I knew this bracelet was just to his taste.
Clearly, he liked it. But he only nodded at me, as if I were a stranger.
Eleanor stepped forward and picked out her own gift from the pile. Hers was a pair of werewolf gloves. It was too roughly made.
The crowd fell silent instantly.
Someone laughed and others began clapping in a provocative way.
“These gloves don’t even have high-quality fur. They’re made from mixed fur of different animals.”
“Look at those! The two gloves aren’t even the same size. How could anyone give such a gift to the Alpha at a gathering this important?”
Before Eleanor could say a word, Dylan pulled her behind. A low growl rumbled in his throat.
The crowd went deathly quiet.
All the werewolves cautiously lowered their heads. Because this meant the Alpha was angry.
Dylan picked up the gloves. Obviously, they didn’t fit him.
He forced them on, held his hands up and declared, “This is the best gift I’ve received. Compared to all these expensive things, I prefer Eleanor’s.”
Eleanor looked up into Dylan’s eyes and said, “I made this specifically for you. But it seems to pale next to others’ gifts, like that bracelet. It makes me sad.”
When Dylan heard this, he stepped forward and picked up the bracelet. He held it up, and said, “Eleanor’s handmade gift touched my heart more. As for this…”
He dropped the bracelet to the ground and crushed it under his shoe. I heard the sound of it shattering.
That bracelet could keep him stay unharmed in battles. But now, none of that mattered.
He would choose to humiliate me in front of the whole pack just to make Eleanor feel better, letting everyone laugh at me.
That was enough.
I felt our mate bond weaken more. The werewolf I had once loved so deeply was gone.
The day after tomorrow, I wouldn’t be his mate anymore.
Dylan would be free.
So would I.
