The Broken Luna’s New Pack Chapter 03
“In this day and age, can a mistress really help protect the pack?”
My face burned with pain, and I staggered back. That was when I noticed Rosalie standing in the corner.
Seeing how miserable I looked, she let out a mocking laugh. Then, she calmly took out her bond-sealing deal with Damian.
The date on it showed two years ago.
“Yes, I want to ask the same thing. What right does a mistress who destroys someone else’s relationship have to protect the pack?”
“I demand that Rosalie return and become the leader of our pack warriors! Call your Alpha here right now. I want to file a complaint!”
Her sharp accusations quickly attracted countless onlookers.
“Luna Willow is the mistress? So the reason she and Rosalie fell out back then was because she stole Rosalie’s mate?”
“Rosalie and Alpha Damian are the true pair. Rosalie is our real Luna. Didn’t you know? I saw them coming out of a hotel downtown together a long time ago.”
Whispers spread throughout the training ground. Everyone looked at me with suspicion and judgment.
I wanted to take out my phone and show them all the photos from the past ten years, to prove the truth. But the next second, a large hand pressed down and turned off my screen.
“I have never had a romantic relationship with Gamma Willow Benson. From the moment we recognized each other as mates, I had already rejected her. She was never my mate, and she was never my Luna. If she misunderstood, then I will reject her one more time.”
“I, Damian Ford, Alpha of the Newmoon Pack, reject you, Gamma Willow Benson, to be my mate and future Luna.”
Damian’s firm voice instantly silenced the entire training ground.
What a “never.” What a “rejected.” After all the promises we made over the years, after the proposal beneath the Eiffel Tower, all I got from him was one word.
Never.
For some reason, I suddenly found it so absurd that I wanted to laugh. So I simply stopped holding back.
“Yes, there was never any romantic relationship between Alpha Damian and me. Alpha, I accept your rejection. We are no longer mates. And I wish both of you a lifetime of happiness.”
The moment our mate bond was severed, my wolf let out a painful whimper.
But I forced myself to endure the pain and refused to show any weakness.
Damian’s hand trembled slightly as he looked at me in disbelief.
But I didn’t look back. I walked away from the training ground.
A few minutes later, Damian rushed into the Alpha’s office, “Willow, listen to me. I didn’t mean to deny our relationship just now.”
I coldly stepped aside, avoiding his reaching hand, “Alpha Damian, please behave yourself.”
Damian’s expression froze for a moment. Then he ripped off his tie and looked at me through clenched teeth, “Willow, what do you mean?”
“Yes, betraying you was my fault. But do you really have to act like you don’t care about anything? Like nothing matters to you?”
“For these past few years, besides training and that damn dog, how much time have you actually given me? Do you know why I slept with Rosalie on our bond anniversary?”
“That night, I waited for you at the French restaurant until it closed. In the end, Rosalie was the one who took me home.”
“And you? You didn’t even realize I didn’t come home all night. You didn’t care at all!”
“Willow, our relationship became like this, and our mate bond grew weaker and weaker. Do you really have no responsibility for that?!”
I stayed silent for a long time. In the end, I only let out a self-mocking laugh and said nothing.
I pushed open the door and left Damian alone in the empty Alpha’s office. After wiping away my tears and lifting my head, I ran straight into Rosalie.
She was standing outside the door, holding Popcorn. I didn’t know how long she had been listening, but her expression was extremely unpleasant.
“Willow, why are you still clinging to Alpha Damian after everything that happened? I originally planned to return Popcorn to you, but now I’ve changed my mind.”
She smiled in a way I couldn’t understand, then grabbed Popcorn and rushed into the stairwell.
My heart sank instantly. I chased after her like a madwoman.
A few minutes later, a heart-wrenching howl came from the rooftop. When I arrived, I saw Rosalie using Popcorn’s leash to hang her from the highest point.
Popcorn struggled desperately, letting out painful cries.
My eyes turned red.
I almost screamed, “Rosalie, have you gone insane?!”
