My Alpha Cheated With All My Friends Novel

Chapter 36

" Auntie , look ... over here ... here ... ! "

The moment I stepped off the Pack transport , a high - pitched , eager voice cut through the crowd .

I turned just in time to spot my little pup niece bouncing excitedly , her tiny hands waving , tail wagging with enthusiasm .

With ease , I lifted her into my arms , a small smile forming as I turned toward my litter sister with a sigh .

" It's late .

I told you there was no need to make the trip to the border just to meet me ."

Clicking her tongue , my sister rolled her sharp wolf eyes .

" You think I wanted to ? This little pup wouldn't stop howling for her auntie ."

She moved closer and pulled me into a firm embrace .

Her gaze flickered downward - for the briefest moment - toward my flat stomach .

That fleeting sorrow in her expression made my throat tighten , but just as I opened my mouth to offer some meaningless reassurance , she beat me to it .

In one swift motion , she pinched my cheek , her voice turning scolding before I could utter a word .

" You've turned into a twig ! Starting

tomorrow , you'll be drinking venison stew every single day . Even if you hate it , you have

no choice . No complaints . "

I chuckled softly , rubbing my sore cheek .

" Fine , fine . Whatever you say . You're my only sister , after all ."

My chest tightened with emotion , but I swallowed it down , hugging my little niece closer before sliding into my sister's car .

The three of us drove home together , our journey filled with lively chatter and warm laughter .

Even though it was already four in the morning , our parents remained awake in the Pack Den , waiting for us to return .

They only retired for the night once they had confirmed our safe arrival - and only after making sure I had finished drinking my

childhood favorite : honeydew iced tea .

Later , as I lay on the soft , familiar pelts of my old Den , the comforting scent of my Pack surrounded me .

For the first time in what felt like forever , I drifted into a deep sleep .

No pain . No doubt .

Because I had finally come home .

On the third day of my return , my parents reserved a private Pack lodge , summoning all the Pack Elders and kin for a welcome gathering .

The air buzzed with cheerful conversation and laughter .

The feast was in full swing when an

unexpected interruption arrived - a courier wolf calling my name .

My little niece , who had proudly taken on the role of the family's official delivery - fetcher , excitedly bounded forward .

Bouncing on her paws , she handed me the package , eyes bright with curiosity .

She had only recently learned to read , so with a small tilt of her head , she announced in her baby voice :

" Auntie , this is from a wolf named Alpha Hoffman ... "

A faint crease formed between my brows at the name .

After a moment's hesitation , I opened the

parcel .

Inside lay a brand - new communication stone .

Puzzled , I stared at it - until the smooth surface flickered to life , indicating an incoming message .

With the weight of my Pack's curious stares pressing down on me , I instinctively stepped away from the crowd , seeking a quieter

corner .

For a long moment , I hesitated before finally answering .

Yeremiah's voice came through , as cold as

ever .

" Michele , why didn't you inform me you were returning to your Pack's lands ?

"

I raised a brow at his question and replied evenly , " Why would I ? "

Silence followed .

Then , as if forcing himself to remain calm , the Alpha spoke again , his tone deliberately slow .

" I tried several ways to reach you , but your communication stone was always off ... I was concerned ."

I blinked , unimpressed .

I had specifically set my device to reject calls from unknown numbers .

He had used tracking magic to locate me .

Exhaling through my nose , I said dryly , " So , because of that , you had a package sent

in front of my entire Pack just to give me a broken stone ? "

Irritation flickered through me , and before I could stop myself , I sneered .

" Yeremiah , are you out of your mind ? "

A taut , heavy silence stretched across the line .

We had been bound for years .

Not once had I ever spoken to him like this .

Even without seeing him , I could imagine his expression shifting - dark and unreadable .

Yet , despite my words , he didn't end the call .

" Michele ."

His voice was unsettlingly calm .

" You know how I am . My patience has limits . It would be best for you to- "

I rolled my eyes . " Get to the point ."

Yeremiah inhaled slowly before speaking , his tone firm , commanding .

" For the sake of our pup , I won't argue about your little escape this time .

"

" I've arranged for your return to the Pack next week . Caitlin and I will meet you at the border ."

For a second , I simply stared at the communication stone .

Then , I nearly laughed .

" A pup ? What pup ? " My voice was light , almost mocking . " The life in my belly has long since disappeared . "

A sudden crash echoed through the connection - something shattering on Yeremiah's end .

His voice sharpened , raw emotion bleeding through for the first time .

" Michele ! How dare you make a joke about our pup ?! "

Lowering my gaze , I allowed a humorless smirk to tug at my lips .

" I'm not joking ."
