Chapter 1 Margaret's POV By my ninth year as the Luna of the pack, I finally learned that the Alpha had handed the son I nearly died to bring into this world to his secret lover to raise. By the time the truth reached me, my pup was already seven years old. The pack elementary school required parental verification before accepting him. George Whitaker approached me with a guilty expression, proposing a temporary severance of our mate bond, a mere legal formality, he claimed. "Back then, giving your pup to her was the only solution.
Isla couldn't conceive, and life in Clover Pack was hard for her." "Don't worry. Once the kid is officially registered for school, we'll reinstate our mate bond right away." I looked at the little pup who stared at me with nothing but hatred. The final ember of hope within me flickered and died, leaving nothing but a hollow, frost-bitten void. I nodded calmly, and together we filed the Bond-Breaking Deal at the Pack Hall. As they stood there, basking in the glow of their newly forged union, I walked away from the wreckage of my life. I didn't want any of this anymore.
After completing the Bond-Breaking Deal with Alpha George Whitaker, I followed him out of the Pack Hall, ready to leave. He suddenly stopped, his voice hesitant. "Margaret, Isla and I are going to pick up our mate bond deal in a bit. If it feels awkward for you, you can go home first. We'll have a family dinner tonight to celebrate." "Oh right, Isla and Finley both love your seafood chowder. It's perfect for their birthday too. Make a little extra so we can all enjoy the atmosphere." A heavy, suffocating silence settled over me.

George Whitaker and Isla Cavendish were celebrating their union, and they still expected the former Luna to cook for them? But I was too tired to argue. "Okay. You two go ahead. I'll head back." His expression softened with relief. He had just turned around when a small figure sprinted out from the Chapter 1 0.72% Pack Hall and threw himself into George's arms. "Daddy, we're here!" "Daddy, does this mean I can see you every day now?" "Will I finally have both my daddy and mommy at the parent-child sports day like all the other kids?" George answered every question with patience and warmth.
His voice, normally cold and authoritative, melted into something soft, almost tender. I planned to leave forever that afternoon. But hearing that little voice, I couldn't stop myself. I turned back just once. Just to look at the pup I had nearly died giving birth to seven years ago. Finley stood beside George, their hands clasped. The resemblance between them, eyes, expression, posture, was undeniable. Passersby couldn't help but glance at them twice. Isla approached from a short distance away, a soft smile on her lips.
She had worn a simple, fitted wedding dress today, elegant, understated, perfectly outlining her curves. It matched the ceremony of receiving their mate bond, without overshadowing it. Only then did I notice, George wore a brand-new custom-made suit. Perfectly coordinated with Isla's gown. Standing together, they looked picture-perfect. George gazed at Isla as if mesmerized, perhaps regretting all the years they hadn't been together sooner. Finley grabbed Isla's hand, placing himself between them, holding his "mom" and "dad" on each side. His eyes crinkled into happy little crescents.
The three of them looked like the model of a perfect family. He was my Alpha mate, and that was the child I brought into this world. Yet in this moment, I was nothing more than a ghost at the edge of their happiness. An unwanted, unseen extra. Bitterness surged in my chest, sharp as knives carving through tender flesh. I forced myself to turn away. But before I could take a step, someone shoved me violently from behind. "Bad woman! Why are you still clinging to my dad?" "My dad is going to marry my mom!
Can't you get lost and stop being their home-wrecking mistress?"
