I blinked, stunned by the sudden turn of events. Out of nowhere, a figure darted from behind, knocked me to the ground, and swept Audrey
into his arms.
My heart, already battered, felt yet another fracture when Alpha Thomas turned his gaze on me, his voice sharp with admonition. “What the hell is wrong with you, Luna Camille? Audrey just came by to say hello, and you attacked her out of nowhere?”
The look he gave me was devoid of any warmth, as though I were a stranger, not his mate. I met his glare with defiance, pressing my lips together in resolve. “She had the nerve to mention my mother and call me useless.

Did you think I’d just sit back after you never explained what really happened? You just said
the operation failed, and that was it.”
Alpha Thomas raised an eyebrow, panic flickering in his eyes before he quickly masked it. “Explanation? Didn’t we already go over this? Her condition was too precarious; that’s why it failed. Why are you acting as if I’m keeping secrets from you?”
But he was keeping secrets. I longed to confront him with the truth I knew–I was saving that for the right moment to exact my revenge.
Before I could voice my thoughts, he continued, “No matter what happened, it doesn’t excuse you for striking Audrey when she was being nothing but kind. I expect you to apologize.”

Audrey spoke up before I could respond. “It’s okay, Thomas. Maybe she still resents me after Alpha Gilbert broke off their engagement to marry me. Perhaps I deserved that slap. Let’s not make things harder for her; consider this my way of making amends.”

Without waiting for my response, they turned away. Halfway down the hall, I heard Audrey murmur, “If she despises me that much, maybe we should stop seeing each other. I don’t want to burden you.”
I clenched my fist, finally reaching the end of my tether. I’d had enough of Alpha Thomas.
Ignoring them, I set about incinerating the
remnants of what I had once mistaken for love,

now clearly nothing but a lie.
Soon after, I received a text from Alpha Thomas.
“I’m sorry, love. I know it hurt you when I asked you to apologize to Audrey, but she’s leading the Wolfpack Alliance Business project, and I can’t let this impact the packhouse. Once this blows over, I’ll make it up to you. I promised to get you a gift. Please, don’t be upset.”
I didn’t reply, instead retreating to my room. I knew better now; his heart belonged to Audrey. I was merely a stand–in.
Upstairs, I picked up the suitcase I’d packed earlier and left the house. The hotel room I found was cold and silent, but solitude was exactly what I craved.

I had barely settled in when my phone rang. It was a staff member from the packhouse.
“Luna, where are you?” she inquired. “Have you forgotten about the meeting with the investor today?”
Yet it wasn’t her words that grabbed my attention–it was the voice in the background. Alpha Thomas was instructing his team to gather specialists to treat Audrey. I chuckled incredulously. Was he serious?
For just a scratch, he was willing to spend millions on someone else’s wife.
I hung up, telling the secretary I wouldn’t be attending.

Not long after, calls from Alpha Thomas started coming in. He was likely trying to remind me about the investor meeting, unaware he hadn’t yet seen my resignation letter.
I answered, curious to hear what he would say, but he was preoccupied giving a directive to his worker.
“Alpha, are you sure you want to revise the contract? The Blue Moon Pack stands to lose
tens of millions if we pursue this project. Please, reconsider.”
“No need. Revise it,” he insisted. “I promised Audrey, and what she wants, she gets.”
Once alone, he remembered he had called me.

“Hey, love. They said you missed the meeting? What’s wrong? It’s important.”
“I’m not feeling well.”
“Oh, I see. I’ll cancel it then. Rest up, and I’ll be
back soon.”
I wasn’t certain if he returned home because I spent the entire day in the hotel, waiting for the right moment to stage my fake death.
He had indeed stayed away. As I scrolled through social media, a live stream by an influencer caught my eye. At first, I didn’t care, but then I spotted Audrey and Alpha Thomas together in the background.

Audrey in selecting a dress.
This was my cue. I called my lawyer to dispatch the documents to his office immediately and coordinated with the agency to finalize the plan. Shortly thereafter, his worker burst in, looking distressed. She showed him her tablet. “Alpha, we have a problem! It seems Luna Camille
discovered the truth about her mother’s fate five years ago and is now demanding a divorce.”
From the tablet’s screen, I watched shock
wash over Alpha Thomas’s face, a moment
which stretched until another staff member
approached him frantically. “Alpha! We’ve just
been informed! Luna Camille has taken her own
life, unable to cope with what you did to her
mother!”

I raised my gaze to the full moon above.
“I, Camille Peters, reject Thomas Cole, as my mate. I sever all ties with him and Blue Moon
Pack.”
