As soon as he finished, the other werewolves began to dance around them. Excited howls and songs filled the air as Anderson and Leah turned to the moon, holding hands.
They started their promise to the Moon Goddess. Watching them, Rhys felt very emotional.
When they finished their promise, he shouted loudly, “Now go and enjoy your passionate night! Don’t worry about us!”
My eyes dropped as tears formed in them. The wolf inside me cried out in pain.
I called Rhys, the same brother who once promised to always be there for me and protect me. But he just curled his lips in a look of disgust and ignored me.
I didn’t stop and called Anderson next.
From where I watched, I saw his face turn cold when he saw me. He didn’t want to answer, but after Leah whispered something to him, he finally picked up.
I rubbed my swollen stomach and asked softly, “Anderson, what are you doing? Are you coming home tonight?”
He laughed in a mean way and replied cruelly in front of everyone, “Can you stop trying to watch me? Irene, you’re already pregnant. Being so worried and jealous isn’t good for the baby.
“Or are you just so desperate for an Alpha’s touch that you can’t live without one?
“I’ve told you many times that I came to the old altar with Leah to study the powerful remains of the great wolves! Only a mean, disgusting she-wolf like you would always think an Alpha’s duty is cheating!”
He kept hurting me with his words.
My heart broke into many pieces. Holding back the pain, I whispered, “It’s my birthday today. You promised you would celebrate it with me every year…”
You said that even if the world ended, you would always be by my side on this day.
So, even while pregnant, I bravely walked through the dangerous forests and steep mountain paths alone, pushing past my fear just to come find you.
But when I arrived, the wolves here told me there were no old wolf remains. There was only the Alpha of the Frostmoon Pack, who often came here.
An Alpha who had been planning for half a year to have his marking ceremony with his Luna at this altar.
