Chapter 02 My mother seemned to sense the slight tremor in my voice and gently comforted me . Its alright , Ill send a private jet to pick you up . Silver Moon has many strong and handsome wolves for you to choose from , Evelyn . Dont waste your tears on someone who doesnt deserve them . Ill meet you at the airport . Just as I hung up the phone , the bathroom door opened , and Vincent stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist . Who are you meeting at the airport ? he asked . I paused , lowering my gaze slightly . He hesitated , frowning . Is she coming for our engagement ceremony ? He assumed I meant my adoptive mother . For some reason , I was too tired to correct him . Lucas looked at me seriously and said , Honey , I know this might be hard to accept , but when we get engaged , many high ranking wolf leaders will attend . It wouldnt be appropriate for your parents to be there … My adoptive parents were omegas .. just like me . The lowest rank in the pack . But to me , they were the best parents in the world . They gave me endless love despite having no blood ties . What about me ? I looked into Lucass eyes , feeling a deep sense of hurt . Am I just another lowly omega to you ? Why did you say you loved me ? Why did you propose to me ? Thats different . Were mates . Lucas looked uncomfortable , even irritated . Forget it . I knew you wouldnt understand our upper class world . Countdown 15 : Departing from the Alpha Eglanced at the date on my phone . , June 15th . fifteen days until I left for Silver Moon . I couldnt be bothered to argue with him anymore . Ill understand soon enough . Lucas lay down on the bed , turning to his phone with a mysterious smile . Youre going to be Luna soon . You better start learning proper etiquette . I ignored him , turning away and closing my eyes . After a while , I heard him set his phone down and felt him move closer , wrapping his arms around me . The faint scent of another she wolf lingered on him , making my stomach churn . I stiffened , struggling to suppress the urge to push him away . Babe , wheres your ring ? Lucas touched my hand , realizing the engagement ring was missing . I replied calmly , I took it off while showering and forgot to put it back on . He mumbled disapprovingly , Dont forget it next time . In my heart , I silently told him … Lucas , there wont be a next time . The night was quiet , and Lucas quickly fell asleep . But every time I closed my eyes , all I could see was his hand wearing the engagement ring wrapped around Daisys waist . Unable to sleep , I got up and picked up his phone . I opened his messages . The first thing I saw made my blood run cold . Alpha , were you satisfied with last nights service ? Attached were explicit photos .. far too revealing to be misunderstood . Fremembered my reaction the first time I saw these messages .. how my hands shook and my mind . Countdown 15 : Departing from the Alpha went blank didnt want to believe it . I couldnt believe Lucas would betray me . But as I scrolled through their conversations .. page after page , line after lin .. My heart turned numb It had been going on for three years . I came across one particular message that cut me the deepest . Ive been with her for five years . Honestly , Im so bored of it . Shes just an omega . She doesnt deserve me . But since were mates , breaking up might drive her crazy . Youre the one I really love , my little bunny . Every word stabbed me like a knife , leaving my heart in shreds . The next morning , I got up as usual to prepare breakfast . My phone reminded me it was our fifth anniversary . We had planned to go to the beach , take wedding photos , and relive our first meeting . But there were only fifteen days left until I left for good . I decided to end everything there our five years , our broken dreams . After breakfast , Lucas kissed me on the cheek , straightened his t and prepared to leave . I wont be back tonight . I have a business meeting . He had completely forgotten our anniversary and our plans . Before I could respond , the doorbell rang . A deliveryman stood there , holding a massive bouquet of roses . These are for you ! Lucas stiffened . Why did they send them here- Countdown 15 : Denarting from Alpha 1.0 % He quickly corrected himself . I mean , honey , I ordered these for you . Do you like them ? Just then , his phone lit up on the table . I glanced at the screen and saw a message from Bunny Hugs Baby , when will my 999 roses arrive ? Lucas snatched his phone , looking flustered . I have to go . Before leaving , he plucked one rose from the bouquet . I watched as he hurried out the door . After a while , a message poppe up on my cell phone , unsurprisingly . Sure enough , Daisy had posted a new picture .. biting a rose petal . The caption read : Who cares about 999 roses ? All I want is your true heart . I smiled faintly . I didnt want his roses or his heart , anymore . I stood up , picked up the bright red roses , and tossed them into the trash , along with the last remnants of my love for him .
