My Alpha Cheated With All My Friends Novel

Chapter 34

I punched in the passcode , using both my birth moon and Alpha Yeremiah's . The lock remained stubbornly in place . Next , I tried the date of our mating ceremony - still nothing . Only when I entered Beta Caitlin's birth moon did the mechanism release with a soft , final click .

Inside , two invitations to a Pack gathering rested atop my Pack identification mark . Beneath them , a hunting token lay forgotten -one from the first Pack excursion Yeremiah and I had taken together .

I tore the memories apart , feeding them to the fire pit . The flames eagerly consumed the remnants of what we had once been .

Returning to my den , I began packing .

That evening , Alpha Yeremiah reached me through the Pack Bond , instructing me to find someone to deliver an important document to the Pack lodge .

Snow blanketed the forest floor , and the wind carried a biting chill as I wrapped myself in

a thick wolf fur cloak and set out toward the lodge .

The moment I stepped inside , I found Alpha Yeremiah and Beta Caitlin raising their glasses in a private toast . The room , once filled with lively chatter , fell eerily silent .

Yeremiah's golden eyes darkened , unreadable - disappointment , perhaps ?

The other wolves watched , anticipation crackling in the air , expecting me to lash out , to bare my fangs in fury .

But I gave them nothing .

Instead , I stepped forward , placed the document in Yeremiah's hands , and said evenly , " May I borrow the Pack Jeep keys ? I left something inside ."

Caitlin plucked the key from her belt pouch , her lips curving into a teasing grin . She stuck out her tongue playfully . " Ah , my apologies , Luna Michele . I love my sleep too much and always end up late for Pack meetings ."

Yeremiah chuckled , low and warm . " Luna Michele ?

Don't call her that , pup ."

His voice softened as he reached over to wipe a stray drop of wine from Caitlin's lips , his fingers lingering .

I kept my expression impassive , my voice

steady . " Alpha Yeremiah and I are not officially bonded , Beta Caitlin . Please don't misunderstand . "

Taking the key , I turned to leave , but Yeremiah's claws ghosted over my wrist , his grip barely brushing my skin .

" Michele ," he murmured , suspicion lacing his tone .

" Since you became pregnant , you've always been nauseated by the scent of alcohol . Why is it that tonight ... ? "

Before I could answer , Caitlin stiffened , her fingers tightening around his arm .

" Alpha ... she isn't looking for that Moonstone pendant in the Jeep , is she ? "

Her voice wavered with false innocence .

The pendant wasn't just a piece of jewelry-

it was a sacred charm , a relic passed down from my grandmother , blessed by the Moon Goddess herself .

Yeremiah exhaled , ruffling Caitlin's hair in reassurance . " It's just an old pendant . If it's lost , there's no need to dwell on it . "

His words solidified my decision . I set the Jeep keys down on the table and met Caitlin's gaze directly , my tone unwavering .

" He's right . It's just an old trinket I've kept for nine years . If you like it so much , consider it yours ."

The cold air bit at my skin as I stepped outside .

Preparing to shift and run home , I heard the crunch of heavy footsteps behind

me .

Yeremiah caught up , pressing a bundle into

my hands - a package of warm elk broth .

" I'll take you to the Healer's den tomorrow for the pup's checkup ," he said , leaving no room for argument .

I lied with ease . " You have the date wrong . The checkup is the day after tomorrow . "

He opened his mouth to argue but hesitated when Caitlin's scent drifted closer .

She stood at the lodge entrance , watching .

Without another word , Yeremiah turned away , taking Caitlin's hands in his own , breathing warm air over her fingers to shield her from the cold .

I watched them disappear into the lodge . Then , glancing at the broth in my hands , I fed it to the stray wolves before heading home .

That night , the Alpha never returned .

And I never summoned him through the Pack Bond .

" Alpha and Luna , this is Michele Lautner .

"

After years of an undefined bond , Yeremiah had finally brought me before the Pack Elders .

But my response was not what he had anticipated .

" Elder Alpha , Luna , I apologize , but an urgent matter requires my attention . Please excuse me . "

The words had barely left my lips when Yeremiah's grip tightened around my wrist . His Alpha command bore down on me , heavy as a mountain .

" She's joking ," he said smoothly , his voice wrapping around the room like a steel trap . " Prepare the feast . I'll take her on a tour of the Pack grounds first ."

Ignoring my silent defiance , the Alpha led me away , his growl low and possessive - a reminder of the control he still wielded .

A reminder of the chains I had yet to break .
