Chapter 38
Upon hearing his words , my resolve only solidified - rejecting the pup had been the right choice .
" Yeremiah , you're mistaken . The pup wasn't lost in your Pack ."
Expressionless , I met the Alpha's gaze and stated , my voice void of warmth , " I instructed the Pack Healer to remove the pup . You were there before it happened . "
His brows knit together sharply before he let out a cold , bitter chuckle .
" Do you truly expect me to believe such an absurd fabrication ?
That I would just accept it and allow you to sever our bond as you please ? "

I had no interest in arguing . Silently , I pulled up the digital medical records and payment invoices from the Pack infirmary and placed them before him .
His expression shifted - first anger , then disbelief , and finally ... a deathly pale stillness .
His voice was strained when he finally spoke . " Why ? "
I let out a slow breath , my tone indifferent .
" Because I was done ."
A hollow smile stretched across his lips- one so pained it looked more like grief than amusement .
" We've been bonded for nine years . We finally conceived a pup . Next year , we were

supposed to complete the mating ritual ..." His voice cracked slightly .
" And now you're telling me you've had enough ? "
" You don't even realize what you're saying , do you ? "
Half a month ago , I had asked him the same question .
That night , a violent storm raged outside , thunder rolling across the sky like an enraged Alpha's roar .
Yeremiah had spilled wine on his ceremonial robes during a gathering . Instead of handling it himself , he linked me - not as his mate , not as his equal , but as a servant - and ordered me to bring a fresh set immediately .

He didn't care that I was heavily pregnant .
He didn't care that I had to trudge through the rain , my clothes clinging to my chilled skin .
When I finally reached the Pack lodge , my fingers trembling as I pushed open the heavy doors , laughter drifted from the bathing chambers .
It was Caitlin .
She giggled first , then teased in a playful whine , " You were too rough . Now I'm drenched all over . "
Then , after a deliberate pause , she added in a syrupy , mocking tone , " If I find out you're fooling around like this , I might get so upset that I miscarry on the spot .
Losing two lives at once - that wouldn't end well , would it ? "

Yeremiah sneered , his voice void of concern . " Two nuisances , one big and one small . If we lost both , it would just save us the trouble . "
I had stood there , frozen .
The clean robes slipped from my fingers , landing soundlessly onto the rain - soaked floor .
In that moment , something inside me shattered beyond repair .
Now , seated in the Alpha's Jeep , I regarded him with a vacant expression .
" Do you still not understand , Yeremiah ? "
My voice was sharp , cutting straight to the bone .

" What I mean is - I'm disgusted by you ."
" Nine years of chewing on spoiled meat - any wolf would want to retch ."
" Lies ! "
His fist slammed into the steering wheel , the impact making the entire vehicle tremble . His chest rose and fell with barely restrained fury as he growled , " Everyone knows I am . the only male you have ever bonded with .
"
" You once told me your greatest wish was to complete the mate bond with me ."
I tilted my head slightly , unimpressed .
" And you once promised you'd never betray
me . "
Silence .

Yeremiah's lips parted as if to argue , but no
words came .
The color drained from his face .
But it wasn't my words that silenced him .
It was my tone .
Detached .
Indifferent .
As if I were speaking to a stranger .
A suffocating dread coiled around his heart , slithering through his veins like venom .
Desperate to shake it off , he narrowed his golden eyes at me .

" Michele , you've been my mate for
years .
If you return to the Pack now , I'm willing to overlook this mistake . "
" We can still complete the bonding ceremony ."
" We're young - we will have more pups . "
I blinked at him . " What bonding ceremony ? "
His jaw tensed .
" Stop pretending , Michele .
You constantly plot against Caitlin , stirring up trouble behind her back . You've been scheming all this time just to force me into marking you as my Luna sooner , haven't you ? "
A soft laugh escaped me - light , almost amused .

" You misunderstand , Alpha Hoffman . "
My voice dropped , firm and absolute .
" I will never be your Luna . "
He stiffened . " What did you say ? "
Leaning forward slightly , I met his gaze , my lips curving into a slow , pitying smile .
" I said , I murmured , voice dripping with mockery , " you really need to get your ears checked . "
