Chapter 33
I used to be restless , constantly trailing after my Alpha , bowing my head in surrender just to earn a sliver of his attention . But tonight , after stepping out of the shower , I simply lay still on the bed , unmoving .
" Putting on an act again ? " Yeremiah sneered before storming out of our den , his footsteps fading into the night . He didn't return until morning .
When I entered the Packhouse living room , a half - empty wine glass , its rim stained with lipstick , rested on the coffee table .
I didn't shake him awake . I no longer sought answers , no longer demanded explanations as I once had . Instead , I silently prepared breakfast . Just as I sat down with my omelet , the sound of shifting blankets told

me he was stirring .
" Don't wait for me for dinner tonight .
There's a Pack gathering " the Alpha announced , yanking open the fridge and drinking straight from a bottle of ice - cold water .
In the past , I would have warned him about how it would upset his stomach or questioned who would be attending . But now , I remained silent . Through the kitchen's reflection , I caught his frown as he studied
me .
" Michele , are you listening to your Alpha ? "
I swallowed my food and responded with a quiet hum .
Seeing this , he tossed his black coat toward me . " A gift for my Luna ."

The heavy fabric carried the faint scent of another she - wolf . Reaching into its pocket , I found a small velvet box . Upon opening it , a diamond ring caught the morning light , gleaming .
Before I could react , Yeremiah snatched it back , his expression darkening . " Wrong one . Yours is in the other pocket . "
Slipping my hand inside , I pulled out an emerald brooch .
I turned it over once before setting it back down . " It's exquisite ," I murmured , then pushed it toward him . " But I don't own any robes that match . "

Lifting my gaze , I added evenly , " Besides , my birthday was three moons ago . You might as well give it to your Beta , Caitlin ."
A charged silence hung between us before he finally spoke . " There's a Pack auction in a

few days . You should come with me .
"
It was the first time in months he had acknowledged me as his Luna in public . Until now , Caitlin - his Beta and childhood friend- had been the one by his side at every event .
Even during the Pack's last hunting retreat , they had stood together in the group photo .
None of it mattered anymore . " No , I don't need anything ."
" You're certain ? "
I nodded . " It's better if your Beta accompanies you !"
Yeremiah's face darkened .
" Michele , go to the river and take a good look at your reflection . See for yourself how pathetic your jealousy makes you . "

Once , his words would have cut deep enough to draw blood . They would have ignited
a furious argument . But now , they barely stirred anything in me.
Just as I stood to leave , Yeremiah's Pack Link buzzed with Caitlin's exclusive howl .
" Alpha , I stepped outside to throw the trash and forgot my keys . What should I do ?
"
He exhaled sharply before replying . " Little pup , stay where you are . I'll bring them to you ."
As he moved to leave , I called after him . " Yeremiah , the pelt you asked me to weave last moon is finished . It's hanging on the branch outside . Don't forget to bring it to her ."

His expression flickered , lips parting slightly as if to say something .
Then another message came through .
Caitlin's whimpering voice carried through the link , soft and needy .
" It's so cold
outside ... Alpha , can you bring me a warm drink too ? "
Without hesitation , he grabbed the package at the entrance , tucked the pelt inside , and left . Not a single glance back .
I stared at the discarded pup's clothes on the floor , then turned toward the study .
Ignoring the framed photo of Yeremiah and Caitlin displayed prominently on the Pack Council table , I reached for the Alpha's safe , my purpose crystal clear .
