The Way

Seeing them together made my stomach churn. Witnessing how much he cared for Morgana when he hadn’t even bothered to check on his own son for years was enough to make my blood boil. “Alpha… You want me out of your sight, right? Fine. We’re done… I’m leaving,” I said, my trembling with anger and sorrow.

He never wanted to be my mate. He only went through with it because of the pressure from our packs, who were allies, and the customs that dictated we should be together. Yet, he never acknowledged me or my wolf. That’s why I had grown so weak; my connection to my wolf had deteriorated so badly that I felt like only the Moonstone could repair it.

The Moonstone was a powerful heirloom passed down to the eldest child in our family, and I had received it. But until now, I had no intention of using its power. They say, that with great power comes great responsibility. I didn’t have the courage to wield it, even though it could restore my bond with my weakened wolf.

Thorne always thought I was jealous of Morgana and never looked at me properly. “Seriously? Are you changing your tactics to get my attention now?” he sneered. “You think you can no longer threaten me with your son, so now you’re using yourself as leverage?”

A year ago, Cassian had started to weaken. He became pale and lost his appetite, and the pack healer couldn’t figure out what was wrong. His veins turned dark as if his blood was becoming thicker. Since then, he would often faint, and despite our kind’s fast healing abilities, he couldn‘ t even recover from a simple headache.

During those days, I desperately mind–linked Thorne, pleading with him to visit our son who longed for him. But Thorne never came. He thought I was using Cassian to manipulate him and gain

sympathy.

After almost a decade of shared life, this was how little he thought of me. I wiped away my tears and said, “Think what you want. I’m leaving.”

I began to leave with my luggage, but Morgana interjected, “Alpha, I heard you planned to celebrate Cassian’s birthday together. You didn’t cancel that for the mountain trip with me, did you? Aria is upset…”

Thorne soothingly replied, “Don’t worry. I know my priorities. We can go to the celebration anytime, but once the snow melts, we won‘ t be able to see it.”

Hearing this, I scoffed coldly and continued dragging my suitcase out. Thorne seemed to sense something was off and rushed forward, grabbing my hand with frustration. “It’s the middle of the night, and you insist on leaving now?”

He saw my swollen eyes and paused. “Is that celebration really worth crying over like this?”

My eyes must have been red and raw from crying because I saw a hint of pity in his gaze. “Let me clear my schedule next month, and I’ll take Cassian then, okay?”

Next month? What next month did Cassian have? If only he cared a bit more about our son, he wouldn’t say such foolish things. I pulled my hand away. “No need!” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

The Alpha stared at his empty palm, momentarily stunned. He never expected the person who used to cling to him would now avoid him like the plague. Snapping back to reality, he tried to catch Morgana grabbed his arm.

“Alpha, it’s all my fault. Even though I knew Cassian was faking his illness, I shouldn’t have competed with a child for your attention. Now it’s made Aria angry at me.”

Faking… faking illness?

My mind went blank. By the time I snapped back to reality, I had already slapped my sister across the

face.
