Wandering for Beauty: Leaving the Wolf Who Doesn't Love MeChapter 1
During my post-abortion checkup, a fire broke out in the hospital. I was so frightened that I instinctively reached out for Dominic ——my mate and the Alpha of the Moon pack, only to realize he wasn't there.
It turned out that my mate’s immediate reaction was to rush to the next ward where his childhood friend, Courtney Hamilton, was being treated.
That had become a familiar pattern lately, so I was used to it. Initially, I felt a sting of abandonment, but over time, I stopped caring.
It had happened since a week ago, when Courtney came back to the Moonriver Pack after having a big fight with her husband because he was caught cheating behind her back.
What was more, she had already had a four years-old son from the marriage, so my husband started caring more about her than I started from that day.
Every time Courtney needed his help, he always wanted to help even though he still had a lot of work to do in the office. After all, he was an Alpha of the Mooriver Pack.
Then that day, once again my husband, Alpha Dominic Callahan, chose his childhood friend more than his own mate.
I thought after getting miscarriage a few days ago, he would care more about my safety, but it turned out my expectation was too high. Fortunately, the doctor and the nurses helped me out of the fire area.
However, my wolf couldn’t help shouting in frustration when she saw his mate carrying Courtney not far beside me without feeling guilty.
“Let’s get divorce!”
But then I came to my senses and urged her to calm down, because there was no point in being angry at that time, after all everything had passed and I was also safe.
“Please don’t misunderstand us, Lucinda. Dom came to me first because I had sprained my ankle yesterday, what’s more I have gastritis,” Courtney said when she saw me coming.
After taking a breath, I answered in a calm tone, “Yeah, I understand. I am fine and healthy so that I can run by myself.”
“Dom, you should apologize too. Even if you are in a hurry, you should prioritize her first,” Courtney said while punching his shoulder lightly.
So, Dominic asked in the end, “Sorry, Lucinda. Are you okay?”
It was actually the first time he apologized first after getting together for three years. But I didn’t know why I felt embarrassed.
Did he really need Courtney to urge him to apologize? Couldn't he do it on his own?
