“For seven years, I endured agonizing egg retrieval surgeries just to give my Alpha mate, Kael, a strong heir. But one day, he coldly announced he had impregnated a high-ranking Beta female instead. He told me I would raise her pup as my own to satisfy the pack Elders. When the pregnant Beta faked a fall at the pack banquet, Kael slapped me to the ground in front of everyone to protect his authority. Desperate to escape his suffocating control, I caused a car crash and ended up in the pack hospital. That was when I overheard the High Healer confronting him. The "fertility vitamins" Kael had personally fed me every single night for the past seven years were actually Wolfsbane. He had been intentionally destroying my ability to bear pups all along. I stared at the mate who had wiped my tears when I cried on the bathroom floor over every negative pregnancy test. He had held my hand through every agonizing surgery, watching me bleed and beg the Moon Goddess for a child, all while secretly feeding me poison. "I did it to protect our pups from the pack's cruelty!" Kael sobbed on his knees, begging for my understanding. But my heart was already dead. I forced our Mind-link wide open, stared into his terrified eyes, and spoke the sacred words of Rejection. This time, I chose to sever our soul bond, take my freedom, and let him rot.”
