My Alpha Cheated With All My Friends Novel

Chapter 40

Ralph reacted instantly . Whatever he had been holding slipped from his grasp as he lunged forward , his fingers closing firmly around my free arm .

Across from us , Alpha Yeremiah's golden gaze darkened , something primal igniting in his expression . His sharp eyes locked onto Ralph's hand on me , his entire stance bristling with raw , territorial fury - an intensity I had never witnessed from him before . His canines flashed as he gritted his teeth .

" What a loyal dog ," he sneered , his voice dripping with mockery .

" Michele , we've been apart for less than a moon cycle , and you dare to entangle

yourself with another wolf ? "

The accusation sent a jolt through me . My breath caught . Bond ? Had he lost his mind ? I stared at him , utterly speechless .

" Have you completely lost it , Yeremiah ? " I snapped , my voice edged with disbelief . " What nonsense are you spouting about a bond ?

Do I have anything to do with you anymore ? "

His fingers tightened painfully around my wrist as I struggled , his expression growing increasingly shadowed .

" Michele ," he said , his tone eerily composed , " I'm here today to formally claim you as my Luna ."

" So stop this childish tantrum ."

" If you keep rejecting me , the only one who will suffer in the end ... is you ."

His voice was quiet , deceptively gentle , but beneath it lay an unmistakable warning .

Yeremiah's grip remained unyielding as he reached into his pocket .

Every instinct in me tensed , my wolf rising to the surface , bracing for a fight . But instead of a weapon , he pulled out a small , intricately carved box .

A wolf - etched box .

A flicker of something wild passed through his eyes as he opened it before me .

It was empty .

For a second , I thought he was mocking me .

My lips parted , ready to hurl a curse at his insanity-

Then , movement near the Pack SUV caught my attention .

Caitlin stepped forward .

She hesitated , her expression reluctant , before slowly sliding a massive diamond ring off her finger . With an exaggerated sigh , she dropped it into the open box , her delicate features twisting into a mask of false innocence .

" Michele ," she murmured , voice thick with feigned pity , " I heard you rejected your pup all on your own ... Oh , how foolish . "

She sighed theatrically , shaking her head as if I were a naive child .

" Yeremiah and I are mates only in spirit . You are the she - wolf he truly loves ."

" So don't let my existence cloud your judgment again ."

A slow burn of rage spread through me . Beneath my skin , my claws twitched , eager to unsheathe .

I turned back to Yeremiah , my expression unreadable .

" Give me the ring ."

His eyes flashed with triumph .

Immediately , he released me , pulling the ring from the box and moving to slide it onto my finger .

The moment it settled in place-

I ripped it off .

Without hesitation , I turned on my heel and strode toward Caitlin .

Before anyone could react , my fingers wrapped around her throat , my wolf's strength surging through me .

With a single movement , I shoved the ring into her deceitful , lying mouth .

Silence crashed over the Pack Square .

No one had ever seen me lose control like

this before .

Not even myself .

For a fleeting moment , I wondered if I truly intended to end her right then and there .

Caitlin's eyes widened in pure terror , her hands clawing desperately at my grip . She choked , garbled cries barely escaping her lips .

" Uh ! Cough - cough - someone - help !

I can't

Tears and snot streaked down her face as she writhed , her feeble strength no match for mine .

Pathetic .

I loosened my grip - only to strike her .

A brutal slap .

Then another .

And another .

Over and over , my palm connected with her perfect , lying Beta face , until her once - delicate features were swollen and unrecognizable .

Finally , I released her - only to drive my knee hard into her gut .

She crumpled , gasping for air as she collapsed onto the cold ground .

That one was for the venomous serpent she had set loose in an attempt to scare me into rejecting my pup .

A pained whimper slipped from her lips as she curled inward , her midsection darkening with bruises . Nausea overtook her , her entire body convulsing as she gagged-

And then she vomited .

The massive diamond ring tumbled from her mouth , slick with filth .

" Mi - Michele , you lunatic ...

huhu , I'll call the Pack Council ! I'll report you for assault ! "

Tears still streamed down her face , but the glare she shot me was weak , full of wavering bravado .

Then , as if remembering something , she spun toward Yeremiah , throwing herself at him in desperate sobs . Seeking his protection .

She never expected him to recoil .

Nor did she anticipate the disgust that flashed across his face as he shoved her away - hard enough to send her sprawling

once more .

His gaze bore into her , unreadable and frigid .

Then , in a voice devoid of warmth , he muttered ,

" You sullied my carefully chosen mating ring . "

Caitlin froze .

The horror in her eyes deepened .
