Luna's Redemption: Break Free From Alpha's BetrayalChapter 1
When rogues attacked Silver Moonlight Pack out of nowhere, burning everything in sight, we were terrified, oblivious to our survival tonight.
Wildfire hemmed us in, and my mate and the current Alpha of Silver Moonlight Pack, Austin Chase, moved out at lightning speed, leaving me behind to oust rogues with his warriors and ensure his childhood sweetheart's safety, not me, his Luna.
Not even scared stiff that I, his mate, would be caught up by the fire, trapped inside, and met my end.
Lightening my mood, Beta Colter, the one who looked out for me and ensured I was fine, explained, "Alpha saves Zora, not you, as he is responsible for her. He has known her for a decade now, treating her as a sister. Don't think that he is treating her more than a mate."
Despite that, I remained calm. "It's odd. I am his mate; isn't he terrified I will die? Anyway, I hope they will be over the moon. Keep your justifications to yourself."
...
Three days passed after the rogues laid siege, leaving the pack house partially burned and damaged; I chose to settle in a new secluded flat.
Opening the door, a flower bouquet of green and white lisianthus lay on my doorstep.
After years of being his Luna, I received a lisianthus from the Alpha for the first time. Curious, I grabbed the card attached to the sweet-smelling flowers, glimpsing a note written a bit messy: [Sorry.]
Alpha Austin's usual apology was to shower me with flowers. Every time we argued, Alpha would send me gifts for reconciliation. As naive as I was, I would accept them wholeheartedly and act as if nothing had transpired.
However, I was no longer taken in by this old trick. Well, not anymore.
A sudden mind link from Alpha Austin snapped me back from reality and made me push the flowers aside.
"Calista, Zora invites us for dinner as a way of thanking me for saving her the night of the attack. I'm waiting for you here outside," he said, calm and composed.
Right. He reminded me again how he focused on Zora, saving her when the whole pack was devastated by flames. At the same time, he entrusted me with Beta Colter.
That slowly left me heartbroken, feeling like my heart was crumbling into tiny pieces, and it led us to have silent treatment for three days now.
But the way Austin mind linked me seemed like nothing happened between us.
