Rejecting My Fated Alpha For A Second Chance

“I spent six agonizing months trekking through the freezing wilderness to find my missing fated mate, Kael. On the perilous journey to find him, I was struck by a silver bullet. The toxic metal didn't kill me, but it burned through my veins, destroying my inner wolf and the unborn pup in my womb, leaving me permanently barren. Yet, when I finally found him, covered in my own blood, he was shielding a pregnant Rogue named Maya behind his back. He claimed she was his savior, and now, his lover. I was devastated. I threw a hysterical fit and made a huge scene. Finally, under the immense pressure of our allied Packs, I forced him to leave that girl behind in the wilderness and return home with me. After that, we held our wedding as planned. During our ten years of marriage, Kael remained as gentle and considerate as ever, acting as if that episode in the wilderness had never happened. I thought we had moved past the shadow of betrayal, believing he was still the mate who loved me more than life itself. Until one day, during a Pack war, he took a fatal bullet for me. As I held his bleeding body and weeping, he weakly grasped my hand and pleaded: "Chloe... I have done right by you in this life, but I owe Maya a life. If there is a next life... please, do not look for me." "I just want to live as a normal werewolf couple with her." In that moment, I felt as if I had been plunged into an icy abyss. I finally understood that his decade of "deep love" was nothing but a forced obligation. The man who truly loved me had already died in that wilderness. The sheer disgust and heartbreak tore me to pieces. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the time when he had been missing for six months. Feeling the dead silence of my inner wolf poisoned by silver, and touching my empty stomach where my pup used to be, I wearily closed my eyes, completely tearing that agonizing love from my soul. This time, Kael, I will grant your wish.”
