“Just organizing the closet” I lied, feeling the weight of the suitcase under my hands as I folded clothes with a calm that masked the storm brewing inside me.
“I see. Anyway, I will be traveling to another pack soon with Alexa to discuss the rogue attack,” Jeremy y said as if
it were the most casual thing in the world.
His tone was indifferent, almost rehearsed. “While you are in the closet, can you help me pack?”
“Sure,” I replied, my voice hollow. I kept my eyes on the clothes, refusing to meet his gaze.
“I will take a shower, and then I will be working late at the office again. You don’t need to prepare dinner,” he added, walking toward the bathroom.
I did not respond that time, my silence louder than any words I could have mustered. I kept folding my clothes, placing them neatly in the suitcase.
It did not matter anymore if he worked late or spent the night at Alexa’s house, or even shared her bed. I had lost.
the energy to care.
The next morning. I was startled awake by the sound of the door creaking open.
Jeremy walked in, looking disheveled. His face was twisted in a scowl.
“Why did you only pack your things and not mine?” he asked, his voice laced with annoyance.
I glanced up at him with a neutral expression. “Oh, that was my mistake. I will pack yours later.”
“Fine,” he muttered, clearly unsatisfied but too tired to argue further.
He reached into his wallet and pulled out a wad of cash. “Here for today. I also bought you breakfast, so make sure you cook lunch. Oh right, can you make a double lunch? One for me, and one for Alexa. She is still devastated
about Adrian’s death after all.”
I took the money and slipped it into my purse with the simple answer, “Sure.”
“Oh, and pack my things by tomorrow,” Jeremy added, heading toward the door. “I will go again since I

Before I could answer, his phone rang, and he was gone, already immersed in another world, one that did not
include me.
I stared after him, the man who had once showered me with affection became barely noticing my existence.
In the early days of our marriage, whenever I gave him the silent treatment, he would immediately try to make
amends.
He would bring me my favorite foods, whisk me away on impromptu trips, or surprise me with gifts. But those days were long gone. At that time, even my indifference didn’t register.
“Looks like he really doesn’t care about us anymore, Ev,” Keena, my wolf, murmured in my mind.
I nodded, letting out a deep breath. “Well, that just means we won’t have to feel guilty about leaving for Blazemane,” I whispered to myself.
I climbed out of bed, heading to the bathroom to shower.
After breakfast, I went to the market, preparing to cook Jeremy’s last meal.
Since that was to be our final day, I might as well go all out. Besides, I had to cook for his fated mate too. I smirked at the thought, the bitter irony of it all.
“Meat. We definitely need lots of meat to make it more festive,” Keena suggested with a hint of dark humor.
“Absolutely,” I agreed, while imagining Jeremy’s expression when he realized I was gone.

from the Gammas.
After yesterday’s rogue attack, the pack needed new blood, and the training had become more rigorous. I watched them for a moment, a pang of nostalgia hitting me as I realized that would be the last time I would see them
as their Luna.
Feeling a surge of affection for the young wolves, I walked to a nearby snack shop and bought treats for them. I handed out the snacks, smiling as they gathered around.
“Thank you, Luna Everly,” they said in unison, their voices filled with gratitude. “May you always be happy wherever you are.”
I smiled, though their words felt heavier than they knew. “Keep working hard, kids,” I told them.
It almost felt as if they knew I was leaving, as if they could sense the goodbye in As I returned home and busied myself in the kitchen, preparing two lunch boxes.

I used to cook two lunches often, but back then, one of them was for me. Because Jeremy and I would eat together in his office, chatting and enjoying our lunch breaks.

But I could not remember the last time we had done that. The last few days, I was just the delivery girl, and even
if I lingered too long, Jeremy would grow annoyed.
“Since when did everything change?” I muttered under my breath, wondering how we had gotten here. When had the love we shared faded into indifference? Was it when Alexa’s mate, Adrian, had been killed?
Or had it begun long before that?
As I walked to Jeremy’s office with the lunch boxes in hand, I felt an odd sense of detachment, like I was watching someone else’s life unfold.
That would be the last time I did it, preparing male for him. The last time I would bend over backward for someone who could not be bothered to notice I was slipping away.
Then, as if he was dedicated to worsening my day, the moment I walked into his office, it was empty. I was not surprised, since he had a habit of disappearing without a word.
Later, after asking his new Beta, I learned that Jeremy had gone to Alexa’s place.
“I will just wait inside then,” I said, keeping my tone neutral as the Beta left me alone in Jeremy’s
sroom.
The silence was thick, and I took the opportunity to open the drawer of his desk. My heart raced, but I knew I had
to remain calm.
I found what I was looking for, the pack stamp that would make everything official.
I directly printed the letter Alpha Deryl had sent me, and read it in my hands.
“Do I need Jeremy’s signature here?” I muttered under my breath.
Thankfully, Alpha Deryl had thought of everything. All that was needed was the Pack stamp, so I did not need to beg Jeremy for a signature.
A wave of relief washed over me as I stamped the letter, finalizing the transfer.
One copy was left on Jeremy’s desk, the other safely tucked into my bag. It was the key to my freedom, allowing me to cross the pack border.
“The next thing to do is….” I whispered, feeling the weight of the decision before me.
Before I could finish the thought, Alexa’s voice entered my mind through our pack link.
“Everly, I heard you are already in Jeremy’s room? Sorry, he did not inform you, he was in a hurry to my place. Could you bring lunch here?”
Her soft tone grated on my nerves. I had no desire to go to Alexa’s house, especially after the last time when she, Adrian, and Jeremy treated me like a ghost at dinner.
But that would be my last act of service to Jeremy. So, I forced myself to respond.

Leaving My Cheating Alpha
“Okay,” I said briefly, dragging my feet out of the room.
When I knocked on Alexa’s door, it was Jeremy who opened it. His brows furrowed and his voice tight.
“Everly? Who told you to come here?” he asked while hastily zipping up his pants, with a shabby shirt around it.
I met his gaze for a second before shifting my eyes to Alexa behind him. “Am I bothering you?”
Alexa stepped forward; her voice overly sweet. “No, of course not. I asked him to come. Jeremy, relax.”
Jeremy, as if he had not accused me a moment ago, nodded and sat on the sofa, making himself comfortable like it was his own home.
“Come in, Everly,” Alexa said, taking the lunch box from my hand. “Let me help you.”
I followed her in, pretending to be friendly as I asked about her well–being. “Are you okay?”
She put on a fake sad face; her words hollow. “It was hard at first, losing Adrian. But I realize now that he did his duty as Beta. I should be proud of him, right? Even if it cost him his life.”
Her tone was all wrong, her eyes dry and unconvincing.
I could not help muttering in my heart, “Poor Adrian, he did not even get a chance to catch them cheating before the Moon Goddess called him.”
But instead of dwelling on Adrian’s fate, I felt a growing pity for myself. I had allowed that charade to go on for too long.
As I opened the lunch box, Alexa’s eyes drifted to my neck, where my tattoo marking me as Jeremy’s mate was visible. “So, that’s the mark Jeremy told me about Isn’t it fun to have one?”
I didn’t even glance at her, focusing on the food. “It’s just a tattoo. You can get one too, if you want. But you were really mated to Adrian, so your mark would be real, not fake like mine.”
- me.
I was planning to have the tattoo removed soon anyway. It meant nothing to Jeremy, and it meant even less to
Without waiting for her answer, since Alexa seemed at a loss for words, I turned around to set the lunch on the
table.
Suddenly, my phone rang. Glancing at the screen, I saw Evan, my twin brother’s name, flash across. So, I picked up and stepped outside.
“Everly, is it true what Alpha Deryl said? Are you really coming back to Blazemane?” Evan’s voice was full of concern. “It’s not because Jeremy hurt you, right?”
I sniffed, holding back tears. “Yeah, I’m sorting out the transfer now. How’s Mom?”
Evan did not push the subject. “She’s fine, but we have all missed you, especially Mom. When are you coming home? Alpha Deryl said maybe this week?”
“I have missed you too. Don’t worry, I will be home either today or tomorrow.”
As I hung up, I turned to see Jeremy approaching.
“Who called you?” he asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“My brother,” I replied truthfully. “He was just asking how I am doing.”
Jeremy nodded, seemingly satisfied with my answer. “Join us for lunch, then, since you are already here.”
His nonchalance stunned me. There was no shame, no guilt in his eyes. He acted like it was perfectly normal for me to be delivering lunch to him and his lover.
“No thanks,” I said quickly, forcing a smile. “I have already eaten, and I have other things to do.”
“Alright, see you at home,” he said dismissively.
But I knew better. We would not be seeing each other at home again. My next stop was the court to finalize my divorce
As I arrived at the courthouse, doubt crept in. I hesitated at the door, wondering if that was truly the right
decision.
But then, memories of that humiliating night flooded back, along with the whispered rumors, the way Jeremy and Alexa had become inseparable while I stood in the shadows, forgotten.
The news of their bond as mates had spread like wildfire, burning away any lingering hopes I had for our marriage.
I took a deep breath, steadying myself. “Live happily with your mate, Jeremy,” I muttered. “Because I will too.” With renewed resolve, I signed the divorce papers and returned home. I left both our wedding rings and the papers on the dining table with a short note, ‘Please make time to sign it.”
In the evening. I stepped on the gas, leaving the Nightshade Pack behind.
At that moment, I felt a strange mix of relief and anticipation. Even though I held the transfer letter in hand, stamped and official, a small part of me worried whether the border officers would allow me, their Luna, to leave
without resistance.
But, as expected, the rumors of Jeremy and Alexa’s bond had already spread. The officers barely questioned my
request, offering me a sympathetic nod before waving me through.
Night passed swiftly, and the familiar landscape of Nightshade Pack fading as I neared Blazemane Pack.
I was not tired, despite the long drive all night. In fact, I was eager, ready to reclaim my life, to return home. As the Blazemane Pack border came into view, a familiar figure stood waiting. It was my twin brother, Evan. As soon as I stopped, Evan was already at my door, pulling it open.
“Welcome home, troublemaker,” he teased, his eyes sparkling. “Now, move over, let me drive the rest of the
I laughed, a sense of normalcy washing over me for the first time in weeks. “Sure, thanks, baddie.” Settling into the passenger seat, I stretched my legs, feeling the weight of my journey lift.
Just then, Jeremy’s voice pierced through my mind in a panicked mind link.
