When we reached the pack company's Gala party, I was shivering from the snow that I was exposed to back at my father's lawn.

My clothes also had snow on them and I dusted some of, but some stuck by and some melted on my clothes.

Blake walked faster, maintaining a safe distance from me.

It was like he was embarrassed to be seen with me.

Hailey's lips tipped downwards and a frown fell on her brows as her gaze landed on me.

Using my werewolf hearing, I heard Blake murmur to her, “I don't pity her, I want to put her in her place. I'll make everyone see that without me, her life is more miserable than a rat's.”

Even though I heard their taunts and saw their puzzled gazes, I was indifferent.

Maybe it was because Blake has put me through so much emotional pain that I didn't care about what people thought of me anymore.

I saw a security guard by a door on my right and I walked over as I asked, “Hi, can I get a change of clothes? I know that there are clothes kept in cases of emergency when I used to work for this company.”

“Yeah, I'll get you another dress.” She replied with a smile and then walked into through another door.

A few minutes later, she called me into the room and handed me a black dress. I took it and she left me to change in the room.

After I had changed, I pushed the dress that I took off into my large handbag and walked out of the room.

I had just sat down at a table and was looking around the party when my phone beeped.

I pulled it out of my handbag and saw a message from Gina.

It read, [Your pack transfer has been approved and I have talked to our Alpha about giving you a position in the pack.

He agreed and he said that he would be interviewing you for either the pack financial secretary position or the pack warrior position since I told him about your previous work experience and fighting skills.]

I read the next message that came through aloud, “I can't wait for interview. I would choose the financial secretary position for you!”

I felt someone touch my hand and I looked up to see Blake.

A confused look showed on his face as he asked, “What are you talking about? An interview? Are you going somewhere?”

I shook my head and hid the truth, “Financial advisor interview.”

His confusion dissipated as a look of understanding appeared on his face and he replied, “I can see you doing that. Besides, your Dad kicked you out, you have nowhere else to go.

The snow isn't falling anymore, and you're not doing anything at this party. Just go back to the pack house. Remember to put my blanket in the washing machine once you reach home.”

I stared at him as I muttered to myself, “Really?”

I pulled off the blanket from around me and placed it on the table.

Haikey kept her gaze on me as she rubbed her chin.

After a few seconds, she pressed on, “We have to help her find a taxi since she didn't come with her car.”

“Sure.” Blake agreed as he smiled fondly at her.

We walked out of the company building and stood beside the road.

Out of nowhere, Hailey crashed into me, making me crash against the rusty, old telephone booth that was beside me.

“Oh no! Amber!” Blake yelled as he tried to pull me back.

However, he stopped because Hailey screamed as she wobbled on her feet like she was also going to crash into the telephone booth.

He watched the glass of the telephone booth break and rain on me as he grabbed Hailey's shoulders to steady her then turned her away and moved her away from the crash.

The small glass shards stuck to my skin, drawing a bit of blood.

I had fallen onto all fours as the glass rained on me and that made me feel even more wretched.

I stood up on shaky legs just as Blake pulled out small glass particles from Hailey's hair and brushed her hair back from her face tenderly.

Blake turned his gaze to me and a look of remorse showed in his eyes as he muttered, “Amber, are you alright? Why don't I take you to the pack hospital?”

Before I could reply, Hailey tugged on his arm as she batted her eyelashes pitifully and said in a soft tone, “Alpha Blake! You said that you would spend the entire day with me.

It's our ‘the first time our eyes met’ anniversary. You can't just go with her and leave me here, can you?”

He looked torn between the two of us as he ran a hand through his brown hair and groaned.

I made the decision for him as I said, “I can take myself to the pack hospital. You can't just leave the pack company's party when you're the Alpha.”

He looked glad that I spoke up and replied, “Yeah, you're right. Make sure you look after yourself. I can buy you your favourite cookie sandwiches once I return to the pack house.”

I have never liked cookie sandwiches, and from Hailey's posts on Facebook, she was the one that liked them. However, I didn't bother telling him that.

He definitely didn't care, so there was no point.

He has always shown me that I was unworthy of his love. Well, I have realized my worth now and I was leaving before he destroyed my life any further.

As soon as I reached the pack hospital, I was directed to the emergency room where a pack doctor immediately attended to me.

He took out the glass shards that were stuck into my skin and the wound started healing.

As the shards separated my skin, it felt like our love's silhouette vanished, leaving only shadows.

The next afternoon, I was sitting in the living room when I heard Blake's mindlink.

“You're not replying up my messages on Facebook. What's the reason?”

He stopped mindlinking me a long time ago, so I was surprised.

“You blocked me, remember?” I asked back in a steady voice.

He sounded nervous as he stuttered, “I-uh- it's not like that. Anyway, I'm coming back to the pack house soon. I have cookie sandwiches and Domino's chips with me. I also bought you a new mates bracelet. I might have neglected your feelings once before, but I won't do it again.”

He neglected me more than once, but I didn't say that.

Instead, I said in a steady voice, “You won't meet me here.”

What a pity, he didn't seem to hear me as he stayed quiet.

I still had two hours before my flight.

I grabbed his iPad which he has always kept hidden and typed in his name as the password. It didn't work, so I tried Hailey's, but it didn't work either.

I stopped and thought for a while then typed Hailey's full name. It worked and I was able to see everything that was on his iPad.

I stared at the iPad, waiting for Blake.

Thirty minutes passed and my phone beeped.

I checked it to see a Facebook post from Hailey. It was a video of her and someone sitting at a restaurant, having lunch. She didn't show the person's face, but I knew it was Blake.

She grabbed his hand and raised it as she said, “Look what Alpha Blake just got us! Matching diamond mates bracelets with our names!”

Her and Blake's wrists had diamond brackets wrapped around them, each with a leather tag that had, ‘Blake and Hailey’ written on it.

I shook my head as a sarcastic grin graces my lips.

I logged into his Facebook account and posted about me being his mate and how he had betrayed me by being with Hailey.

I added their pictures and videos together which I had gotten from Hailey's page and tagged all pack members that he was friends with including the pack elders and neighboring pack's Alphas.

I then changed the iPad's password and took my stuff then made my way out of the pack house to go to the airport.

As I waited in line to board my flight, I heard Blake's mindlinks.

“Why did you post that with my account? Where are?”

“What's wrong with you?”

“Answer me!”

“I, Luna Amber, reject you, Alpha Blake!” I yelled.

I knew that he wouldn't feel any pain because he hasn't marked me yet, but my rejection has severed our mate bond.

“No! You can't do that!” Blake yelled, sounding as angry as I thought he would be.

I ignored him as he continued speaking to me through mind link.

When he saw that I wasn't responding anymore, he started calling and texting my phone.

However, I didn't care anymore.

I blocked Blake’s number and on every social media that we were connected to.
