Chapter 6 Get 5 X Menu I met Kaneâs hostile stare, wondering why he still harbored such hatred for me, even after Iâd given him the freedom heâd always wanted.
âLet go of her hand,â Alpha Garrett barked, his voice thundering with fury.
âBut Dad-â
âShut it!â
Kane shot me a death glare, and I looked away.
Alpha Garrett pressed on. âYou went ahead with a divorce without running it by me? Did you forget what I told you before your wedding day?â
From my peripheral vision, I could see Kaneâs knuckles turning white as he clenched his fists, his face contorted with rage.
âWhat drove her to take such drastic measures?â Luna Diana interjected. When Kane remained silent, she turned to me with motherly concern. âSweetheart, please tell us whatâs wrong. We can work this out.â
The memories came rushing back. Iâd overlooked so many of Kaneâs transgressions, starting with our wedding night when he dumped an entire bottle of wine over me â his way of showing exactly what he thought of me. From day one, his words dripped with contempt, hurling insults and swearing Iâd never capture his heart.
Heâd kept that promise. Despite my best efforts, heâd never treated me like a real wife. Our marriage was nothing but a shell, a facade. Instead of being a loving husband, heâd come and gone as he pleased, treating me like yesterdayâs news, a target for his contempt.
Time and again, heâd accused me of trapping him, never believing my denials. Truth was, Iâd been drugged that night too. Iâd lost my virginity to him something I hadnât planned either.
The morning after, I was just as shocked to wake up naked next to a stranger. I hadnât even known he was the alphaâinâwaiting.
People always whispered about his cruelty, and after two years of marriage, I could confirm every rumor.
Heâd been brutal, never showing an ounce of affection. I was always his unwanted wife. After what heâd said when signing those divorce papers, I couldnât stay anymore. The thought of living alone with my children seemed like paradise â I didnât need love or passion anymore, just peace.
Now, I just needed to get away from him- and get my babies far away too. Tears welled up, and I couldnât find my voice to answer Luna Diana.
Alpha Garrett turned to me. âCome to my office,â he said, standing and heading that way. I followed, with Luna Diana beside me.
Glancing back, I was surprised to see Kane following us.
Probably wants to make sure Iâm really leaving the pack, I thought.
In Alpha Garrettâs office, he fixed me with his crimson wolf eyes.
I envied him and the other werewolves, wishing I had my own wolf spirit. Without one, I was barely 08:44 7.1%
< Chapter 6 Ocet #Me stronger than a human. I had no clue why I lacked a wolf, but I envied their ability to shift and their supernatural powers.
With a heavy sigh and pain in his eyes, Alpha Garrett said, âIâm sorry it ended this way.â
At least I knew heâd cared about me. At least someone in the pack had given me good memories.
He continued with the formal declaration: âI, Garrett Thorne, Head Alpha of the Nightfall Pack, hereby reject you as a pack member. All pack rights are revoked, including your right to remain within our pack or on our territory.â
The pain hit instantly as the pack bond severed, spreading like wildfire through my body.
Luna Diana gripped my arm, supporting me as the burning sensation consumed me from head to toe. The pain grew so intense I feared for my unborn babies. Iâd only wanted to protect them, and now I worried that leaving the pack might harm them even more.
I refused to cry in front of Kane, wouldnât give him another reason to mock me. Though surprisingly, he looked shocked â as if he couldnât believe I was actually leaving. He probably thought I was just complaining to his parents to force an apology. Well, he wouldnât have to worry about that anymore.
As soon as I could manage it, I held my head high and walked out of the pack house, though my heart was breaking.
No home. No pack. No family. No husband.
I was alone again.
âIâm a rogue now.â
