“Luna.” A voice called out, pulling me back to reality. It was the Pack doctor.
I hadn’t realized I had made my way to the hospital.
After leaving the bridal shop, I had called the Pack doctor to explain the situation.
“Luna, are you sure you want to go through with this?” the Pack doctor asked sadly.
“Yes, I’m sure. Now that his soulmate has returned, everything between us needs to end.” My tone was resolute.
She let out a heavy sigh and immediately contacted the surgical team.

different from his usual self.
“I received the call from the Pack doctor shortly after you left the bridal shop. I rushed over, but I was too late. I’m so sorry, I didn’t know you were pregnant. Why didn’t you tell me sooner? Even if you were upset about me asking you to postpone the wedding, how could you be so cruel as to not want our child?” Alpha Dorian Kingston said, anguish evident in his voice.
I quietly smiled at his words. I understood the Pack doctor’s actions; she respected my decision, but such a significant matter was something she couldn’t keep from Alpha.
“I wanted to tell you the moment I found out I was pregnant, but there you were, busy with Liora Granger over video, overly excited about picking her up from the airport. I waited for you at the airport all

night, and you told me you were working late.” I looked at him coldly and continued, “I had an accident on Airport Boulevard and called you. You said you were meeting with business partners when, in reality, you were with your ex. Did you know I was hospitalized for days? You thought I was just following you around when we met in the hospital?”
Alpha Dorian Kingston looked stunned, panic etched on his face, filled with disbelief and pain.
“How could this… how could this happen?” He reached out for me again, wanting
to embrace me, but I lifted my hand and slapped him.
He stared at me in shock, helpless and angry, yet completely at a loss for words.

I glared at him with vengeance, a bitter smile on my lips.
“Alpha Dorian Kingston, I gave you a chance. I was in the hospital after the accident, and it wasn’t until this morning that I rushed straight to the bridal shop. I thought that even if you were with Liora Granger these past few days, you would still keep your promise to take our bridal photos. To my surprise, you wanted me to hand over the wedding to her. I can’t accept that my child will be born without a father or that someone else would have to take on that role.”
After a long pause, he covered his face and choked out, “Celine Vaughn, I’m sorry. I never wanted it to be like this. I told you I needed a month to work things out. I love you, and I love our child.”
I couldn’t help but let the tears flow, laughing

“Have you forgotten? You’re diagnosed with weak sperm, remember?”
Alpha Dorian Kingston froze.
He probably thought that because I could tolerate who he was three years ago, I would accept everything without limits.
I, too, once believed that my strong and unyielding character had softened after meeting him, that I could endure everything for him–including the indifference I once showed at the start. I thought that was love, something no one could shake.
But since Liora Granger returned, his attitude and actions toward me have made me
realize the truth.
True love doesn’t ask the other person to sacrifice and endure without end.

True love is mutual.
These past days, I’ve sacrificed again and again, waited again and again. I wasn’t willing to accept the idea of giving up the three years of hardship I spent helping him build everything. I wasn’t willing to simply let myself be the one who serves as the bridge for someone else’s happiness.
But this endless waiting, this so–called giving him another chance, has only been a repeated cycle of deeper self–inflicted pain.
“Alpha Dorian Kingston, it’s over. Let’s end our bond. You know me–when I love, I love deeply, but when I stop loving, I’m equally resolute.” I took a deep breath and met his gaze, my voice firm and unwavering, “I, Celine Vaughn of Silver Fang Pack, reject you, Alpha Dorian Kingston of Black Spine

The moment I finished, I could hear thee sound of my heart breaking, the pain overwhelming me.
Phoenix, my wolf, howled in agony within me. I could feel her pain, too. “Phoenix, aree you alright?”
She responded weakly, “No… I’m not. I hurt… a lot.”
“I’m sorry, Phoenix, I whispered.
“Do you know? His wolf still wants us, she said in a drained voice. “Brian wants us, even though he knows Liora Granger is his fated

mate. But his wolf wants us. But I’m tired… I don’t want him anymore.”
Alpha Dorian Kingston stared at me coldly,

his eyes full of disbelief and agony.
It’s well known that severing a bond in our world causes unbearable pain.
And I, too, was in agony–so much so that I wanted to collapse and cry in despair.
But after a moment, Alpha Dorian Kingston straightened his back, took a deep breath, and said, “I, Alpha Dorian Kingston of Black Spine Pack, accept your rejection, Celine Vaughn.”
Even though breaking up was my decision, hearing those words still felt like a stab in the heart.
Tears streamed down my face like a dam breaking open.
After saying those words, Alpha Dorian

Kingston turned and walked away.
I raised my hand to touch my neck. The mark he had once given me was gone.
Even though I was physically and emotionally drained, even in this pain, I knew I had to heal and move on with my life.
