Rejecting the Alpha Who Betrayed Me

A week into the university semester, I told Alistair Murray, the future Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack, that I wanted to sever our mate bond.

He leaned back in his chair, his broad shoulders framed by the moonlight streaming through the window, and chuckled softly. "Is it because I helped Ellianna Robinson, an Omega, find an apartment and not you? So, you’re breaking our bond over this?"

"If that’s what you think, then sure," I replied, my voice steady despite the knot in my stomach.

Alistair’s smile widened, his Alpha aura radiating confidence. "Alright, I have no objections."

"Just don’t come crying later, asking to reestablish it."

We’d grown up together, childhood friends from kindergarten all the way to college. Alistair was a significant part of my life, and he was certain I couldn’t live without him. What he didn’t know was that the apartment excuse was just a cover. I had applied for an exchange program abroad and would be leaving next week. This time, I was truly going to leave him behind.

"You really want to break our bond?" Alistair raised an eyebrow, his muscular frame filling the chair as he chuckled nonchalantly. "For something this trivial, you really won’t let it go, huh?"

I looked at him seriously, my Beta instincts pushing me to stand my ground. "Yes! It’s over this trivial thing."

You used to say you wanted to be my Luna when you were ten, and now you’re saying you want to break our bond?"

He smirked. "Stop being so stubborn. Throwing around the idea of severing our bond isn’t a healthy habit."

I gazed at his unconcerned demeanor and spoke again, my voice firm. "I’m serious. Alistair Murray, future Alpha of the Silvermoon Pack, I reject you as my mate."

"Alright, no problem," he said, placing the water bottle on the table, his smile unfaltering. "Just make sure you don’t regret it later."

"I won’t..." My words were interrupted by the sudden ringing of Alistair’s phone.

He glanced at me before answering. "Hello?" With just one look, I saw the name displayed on the screen—Ellianna Robinson.

The next second, I heard a gentle voice from the other end of the call. "Alistair, could you come to my apartment and help me?" Ellianna’s voice was sweet and filled with helplessness. "I just finished a big clean-up, and the faucet suddenly broke. Now the bathroom is flooded, and I don’t know how to fix it…"

Alistair’s expression softened, and he got up almost immediately after Ellianna began speaking. "Wait there, I’ll be right over. Don’t try to fix it yourself."

Once, Alistair would have at least asked for my opinion. But now, he walked right past me without a second glance.

I forced a smile and turned in the opposite
