Chapter 2 Lora didn't answer , quietly staring at his handsome face , ice covering her eyes . [ ] He was still the same as before , always able to immediately sense when her emotions were off , find the cause , solve the problem , and comfort her . ] What a pity - no matter how carefully he avoided leaving traces , the scent of that other she - wolf still lingered . ] Lora's sense of smell had always been exceptionally keen . [ ] Lora shook her head , looked away from him , her voice flat . [ ] " Calvin , I see you've been quite busy lately . I think our bonding ceremony isn't necessary anymore . I'm afraid you'll be too busy then . " Calvin felt that Lora was being somewhat ungrateful at this moment . He was now the Alpha of Silver Moon Pack - how many she - wolves outside wanted to become his Luna ? ] And she was actively proposing to cancel the ceremony . [ ] " Say that again ! " His voice carried clear anger . ] Lora looked into his eyes . " Our bonding ceremony doesn't need to be held . I'm afraid you'll be too busy then . " [] She finished speaking and moved to leave . Calvin grabbed her arm , visible fury in his eyes . ] ] " All my busyness is for our pack , for our future ! " ] F " I just returned from patrol , and instead of showing any concern , you're throwing a tantrum , being unreasonable . When did you become like this ? " Lora stared steadily at him , listening to his baseless accusations , finding it only laughable . The man standing before her seemed so foreign , as if she'd never known him at all . [ ] Like all male wolves , when betraying , they always pushed the blame onto the other party , as if she had forced him to make mistakes . The bonding ceremony was still two months away . Her sister had given her one month to handle things here . [ ] In one month , she would make Calvin completely disappear from her world . ] She entered the room . While washing up , Calvin followed her in , embracing her from behind . [ ] He lowered his stance , speaking softly : " It's all my fault , Lora . I've been too busy lately and ignored your feelings . In the coming days , I'll cancel all work and come home to be with you after work , okay ? " Rejected the Alpko : Now Bride of the Alpha King Chapter 2 Lora looked up at the mirror , seeing the man gently coaxing her , her lips curving into a mocking smile . "No need , I've already ... " ] Before she could finish , Calvin's phone rang . ] It was a popular romantic ballad currently spreading through the pack , with a gentle melody carrying sweet vows between lovers . Lora's ear tips trembled slightly . [ ] Because Calvin's phone was usually only for work , his previous ringtone had always been the cold system default . [ ] She remembered when they were just a pair of newly in - love werewolf lovers , working together to build their pack , she had once suggested changing it to a duet love song . Calvin had refused , reasoning that as Alpha , he needed to frequently deal with other pack leaders and human business associations - such a ringtone was " inappropriate . " [ ] So it wasn't " inappropriate " -she just wasn't worth changing it for . [ ] Calvin looked down at his phone , glanced at it once , and hung up directly : " Unknown number , probably spam . " [ ] Lora's lips pressed into a straight line . She clearly saw the contact name was " extra spark . " She acknowledged softly and didn't mention it further . But the phone quickly rang again , then was hung up again . ] ] When it rang the third time , Calvin turned away and answered . [ ] " Recent pack affairs have been heavy , with several border trades requiring my personal supervision . I'll stay overnight at the council hall working late tonight , and return tomorrow morning to accompany you to try on wedding dresses . Don't wait up , rest early . " ] Lora continued brushing her teeth , watching through the mirror as he left the bathroom and pushed the door to leave . [ ] After the footsteps faded , she put down her toothbrush , took out her device , and searched for the meaning of " extra spark . " | [ ] Soon , the most prominent explanation appeared : [ ] [ You're all about the quick burn , and I'm just the extra spark after the flame dies out . ] ] ] [ Even so , I gave my whole life , burning entirely , for you . ] ] Her chest suddenly tightened , the stabbing pain like claws scratching from inside out . ] She raised her hand , opened the real estate website , and listed their current villa in Silver Moon Pack's core area for sale . ] In one month , she would return to Stardust Pack - the territory , wealth , and status here , she wanted none of it . Including Calvin . [ ] She priced it several hundred thousand silver coins below market value , quickly attracting countless private messages inquiring . ] She replied to each one . By the time she put away her phone , night had fallen . ] Chapter 2 Unable to sleep , she opened an anonymous community recently popular among she wolves . [ ] Just as she entered , a push notification stabbed her eyes : [ ] [ My lover will have his bonding ceremony with his mate in two months . Today I wore her wedding dress while mating with him ! The feeling was wonderful and thrilling . ] ] The comment section was full of condemnation for the poster , with netizens joking about letting big data push the post to that poor mate . Lora's hand trembled as she clicked into the poster's profile , quickly scrolling to the first post- [ ] No caption , just a photo of interlocked fingers . ] The male wolf's hand had a small black mole on his index finger , and his ring finger wore a silver ring engraved with vows . [ ] The publication date was half a year ago - exactly one week after Calvin had proposed to her . ] She looked down at the matching ring on her finger , nausea churning in her stomach . ] The next moment , she removed the ring , threw it in the toilet , and pressed the flush button . [ ] Dirty things didn't need to be kept . Just then , the poster updated with a new post .
