Alpha, Let's break our bond

Two months ago, while coming from my work place in human world to my pack I faced a rogue attack. I had faced these type of incidents since childhood and was good at fighting. This time too I survived the attack. However, it caused me miscarriage.

Today was the routine checkup in the pack’s infirmary. Erick took me there in his car. But he suddenly disappeared from outside, only leaving a text to me which read [Lizzy, I got some urgent work to take care of. I can't pick you up today. Please manage it yourself. See you at home]

In the past, I would feel ignorant and nag at him for leaving me alone. I would have called him back and asked him not to leave me alone. I would ask him to accompany me more. However, it didn't matter to me anymore. Complaining him for his ignorance or seeking attention from him was pointless. I only texted him [Okay] and put my phone back in my purse. I thanked the healer and came out of the infirmary.

I hired a cab outside the infirmary. While sitting in the cab, my gaze fell on Erick’s car that was parked outside the infirmary.

Didn't he say he had some urgent work to take care of? Then, what was he doing in the same infirmary I came to?

These were the questions that came first in my mind but soon I shook my head and got inside the cab. After all, it was not the first time when I had caught Erick lying to me. It had become his usual habit of excusing himself with some ‘urgent work’ that turned out to be a white lie. I should have left caring about these stuff, shouldn't I?

I came back to the home that belonged to Erick and I. However, most of the time it was only me living in it. He would visit the home only in the night and sometimes seeing him at night was also not possible. In the beginning I would complain to him and he would always tell me how hectic his days were in handling his job as well as the pack’s chores.

I had just laid on my bed and my phone beeped with a notification. It was ‘Sweet Angel’ who tagged Erick in a post which read [ Just had a scratch. He insisted on taking me to the infirmary and accompanied me all this time. After all these time, You are still the best, Alpha]

This person with the username ‘Sweet Angel’ was none other than Christine, Erick’s childhood sweetheart and his true mate. She had also posted pictures of two hands holding each other. I couldn’t make a mistake in identifying Erick's hands. He was wearing our wedding ring. How could I not identify him?

Christine belonged to White Moon Pack that was our pack's enemy. Her father didn't agree to marry her to Erick, nor did Erick's father who was then the Alpha of the pack. Despite being each other's true mate and being in love with each other, Erick and Christine couldn't get married. She had to marry someone else. Her husband was the beta to one of the high class packs. However, the pack she was married into suffered a heavy defeat in an ongoing war, leading them to go under slavery. She was an Alpha’s daughter. How could she accept slavery like her beta husband?

Thus, she left her husband and came to our pack with her four years old cub.

In Erick's eyes I was nothing more than a substitute. He married me after Christine left him. I was just a replacement to fill his empty heart. However, to me he was everything. I once loved him with all of my heart and wanted to bear his child, thinking the child would bring us closer. But, it seemed like we were never destined to be together.

In the middle of the night I heard Erick's footsteps. He entered the room and walked by my side. He gently stroked my hair while asking, “ What did the doctor say?”

I smelled another she-wolf's smell from him, making me feel ridiculous. I had sniffed this smell from Erick every time he came late at night. The smell troubled me so much that I always wanted to vomit. It reminded me of my husband’s betrayal to me.

I just moved to the other side and said in a tired voice, “Nothing serious.”

“Are you okay?” He asked hesitantly.

“Hmm… Everything is fine.”

“I’m sorry I couldn't pick you up. Suddenly, I got so much work to handle and couldn't manage my time."He apologized, which is another lie.

I didn't expose his lies and rolled on to the other side of bed before saying, “Take rest then. Don't forget to take a shower. I don't like the strange smell coming out of you.”

I could feel the pause in his hands that were coming at me. He hesitated to say anything further and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

He knew why I mentioned the strange smell to him yet he didn't bother to give any explanation to me and calmly went to take a shower. If it was in the past, I would have streamed tears. However, I was surprised that not a drop of tears rolled down my cheeks. Maybe, all my tears were dried up and had nothing left to shed. Maybe it was good for me. I should have stopped crying a long time ago.

I took a deep breath as I said to myself, “No more crying, Lizzy.”
