Abandoned By My Alpha And Pup Now Their Rival’s Luna Chapter 01
Blood and Betrayal
The third time Alpha Grayson catches me in another male’s bed, I don’t scramble to cover myself or fight for my innocence like the last two times.
Serena, the pack’s High Magistrate, stands at the very front of the raiding party.
“Luna Maeve, this is your third strike against the Alpha’s honor.”
“By pack law, you will be stripped of your Luna title, banished from the territory with nothing, and forfeit all rights to the Alpha’s heir, you are no longer Leo’s mother.”
Grayson has long lost his patience. His golden eyes burn with absolute disgust when he looks at me.
He slams the heavy parchment of the Severance Pact onto the nightstand.
“The first time, you swore you didn’t even know the male.”
“The second time, you claimed you had no idea how you ended up in that room.”
“Three strikes. What’s your excuse this time?”
Grayson stares at me, his jaw clenched tight.
He’s probably waiting for me to rip the parchment to shreds like the last two times.
Waiting for me to drop to my knees, bleed on the floorboards, and beg him, “Believe me just this once, for Leo’s sake!”
But I say nothing.
I just quietly pick up the quill, dip it in ink, and sign my name on the parchment.
Ready to disappear from his world entirely.
*****
Serena immediately snatches the signed parchment away.
As if terrified I might change my mind, she turns to him. “It’s done, Alpha.”
I set the quill down.
“I’ll pack my things and be out of your hair as soon as possible. As for my visitation rights to Leo—”
“You’re unfit to be a mother,” Grayson growls, cutting me off. “You will never see our pup again.”
I don’t even look up. I just offer a hollow smile. “I was going to say, I don’t want them either.”
The coldness in Grayson’s eyes doesn’t waver.
He just takes an extra look at me.
As if he can’t wrap his head around how easily I’m letting go.
For the past four years, he and Leo were my entire universe.
It used to break my heart for days whenever Leo called out “Auntie Serena” a little too affectionately.
Now, dropping them like dead weight? It doesn’t seem like me.
“Slut,” he sneers, as if finally finding a label that makes sense of my behavior.
“For some rogue male, you’d even abandon your own flesh and blood.”
“Then what was the point of scheming your way into my bed and having my pup in the first place?”
Listening to his venom, I don’t feel a single urge to defend myself.
The first time he caught me “fooling around” in a motel, I was completely blindsided.
I begged and pleaded, swearing to the Moon Goddess I hadn’t betrayed him.
He was always so arrogant, certain I couldn’t survive without him.
And because the male in question had already fled, leaving nothing but a blurry silhouette on the security footage, Grayson tentatively let it slide.
But he still took Leo away from me.
For my once-a-month visitation, I had to book an appointment through Serena a week in advance.
When I finally got to see my pup, she would hover over us the entire time.
I had to walk on eggshells around her, practically begging for her approval just to hold my own child a minute longer.
I had to get her permission for every toy or piece of clothing I bought for Leo.
Otherwise, they would end up in the trash.
My spirit was already shattered when I was caught cheating a second time.
Back then, I had taken up some minor duties in the pack just to keep myself sane.
But on the day of a border run, I somehow woke up in a cheap motel.
A disgusting, overweight male was lying next to me, practically drooling.
I called the pack enforcers immediately. The pack healer examined me and confirmed I hadn’t been touched.
The truth was staring Grayson right in the face, yet he convinced himself I just didn’t have the time to finish the act before waking up.
From that day on, I wasn’t even allowed to attend Leo’s events at the pack school.
Whenever something came up, Grayson sent Serena in my place.
He told me to stay locked in the pack house so I wouldn’t “embarrass him.”
When our pup pointed his little finger at me and called me a “dirty rogue,” Grayson just stood there and said absolutely nothing.
Caught for the third time…
I’m done playing this twisted game. Let them have their happy ending.
And now he has the nerve to ask why I don’t even want my own pup?
