My Alpha Cheated With All My Friends Novel

Chapter 39

With the last shred of patience , I enunciated each word carefully , my tone unwavering . " Yeremiah , listen closely - I do not love you anymore . "

" Stop right here . Stop making a scene . "

" From this moment forward , your path as Alpha is yours alone , and mine is mine ."

" Our mate bond is severed . "

I watched his expression shift as I opened the Pack vehicle's passenger door and stepped out without hesitation .

For the first time , the arrogance in his golden eyes faltered - an unguarded flicker of panic breaking through his usually cold gaze .

He bolted from the Jeep , his voice raw with desperation . " Michele , the next full moon marks our tenth year together ."

I turned , my expression unyielding . " And ? "

His chest rose and fell with emotion , his breathing uneven .

" You swore under a meteor shower , before the Moon Goddess herself , that no matter what happened- no matter if the rivers dried up or the earth crumbled - you would stand by my side every year on our anniversary . "

For the first time , his usually commanding voice shook , betraying an unfamiliar fragility .

" You despise oath - breakers more than anything . "

I clicked my tongue , exasperated .

" Only a

fool clings to a meaningless promise made in a fleeting moment . "

His face contorted with disbelief , and for over ten seconds , he simply stared , silent and motionless . Then , his voice returned , laced with cold fury .

" Remember these words , Michele ."

" If you ever regret this - even if you kneel before me and beg - I will never take you back . "

Without another glance , he stormed back into the Jeep , slammed the door , and sped off .

I stood there , watching as his vehicle vanished into the distance .

All I felt was relief .

With my former Alpha finally gone , I returned to my best friend . That night , we spent hours talking , laughing , and listening to music , unburdened and carefree .

Half a moon cycle later .

As I wandered through the bustling Pack marketplace near my home , a familiar figure caught my eye .

" Ralph ?

"

The name left my lips hesitantly , but at the sound of it , the towering warrior turned . A smirk , warm and unmistakably familiar , tugged at his lips . Without a second thought , he reached out his left hand and ruffled my hair - just as he had done countless times before .

" Michele , long time no see ."

Years had passed since our last meeting , but Ralph Ferrigno's amber gaze remained as steady as ever .

I had known him since we were pups .

As the Beta of a neighboring Pack , Ralph had always treated me like a younger sister -covering for my mischief , indulging my whims , and protecting me with unwavering patience .

A lump rose in my throat . I lightly tapped his broad shoulder , my eyes tinged with emotion . " I thought you settled abroad ? Why didn't you tell me you were coming back ? I would have met you at the border ."

His lips curved into a subtle smile . " Not even my Pack knows I'm back yet .

I blinked , caught off guard . " Huh ? Then why

- ? "

His amber eyes locked onto mine .

" Your sister told me you decided to stay within the Pack's borders . That you wouldn't be leaving . "

He hesitated for a beat , his voice softening .

" So , I came back too . "

A warmth bloomed in my chest , unexpected yet undeniable .

Ralph didn't press for a response . Instead , he took the basket of supplies from my hands as though it was the most natural thing in the world .

Side by side , we strolled through the marketplace , the golden hues of the setting sun stretching long shadows across the earth .

By the time we reached my den , I turned to head upstairs when his voice stopped me .

" Wait ."

I paused as he disappeared briefly , only to return moments later , holding out a steaming

cup .

" Here - your favorite bitter herb tea . "

I froze .

The scent alone carried me back to childhood , to memories I hadn't revisited in

years .

A gentle warmth spread through me as I stared at the familiar drink . My lips parted in surprise , and just as I reached out to accept it-

A strong hand clamped around my wrist .

A sharp yank pulled me backward , straight into an unyielding embrace .

My entire body went rigid .

" Yeremiah ? " My breath caught in my throat . " What are you doing here ? "

Before I could fully process his sudden appearance , his grip tightened .

Without a word , he dragged me toward his waiting vehicle .

Panic struck like lightning .
