After I Left My Alpha Mate, He Regretted It

I shook my head, staring at Logan, pleading desperately.

"Logan, that's not true! He started it and hurt..."

"John! My son!"

Alpha Martinez approached his son and saw the wound on his hand, then shouted angrily, "Alpha Logan! How are you going to take responsibility for this! Please discipline your Breeder! She's like a whore who can't resist seducing every man she sees! "

"Don't worry, I'll discipline her.”

Logan's expression was very cold, his gaze piercingly fixed on me.

“Take Mia to the dungeon and lock her up. Don't give her anything to eat!"

Two members of the pack stepped forward and grabbed my arms.

"No! Let me go! Logan, please believe me! I didn't do anything!"

I begged as two members of the pack dragged me away roughly.

However, no one cared. They all looked at me with accusing glances, including Logan, the person who had spent years with me and shared hundreds of nights by my side.

My body was thrown onto the cold floor, and I was locked in a cell. They left me alone. The prison smelled foul, damp, cold, and pitch dark.

I'm afraid of the dark. I feel like I can't breathe in the darkness, and all my senses go numb.

Logan knew I was afraid of the dark, but he still punished me by locking me in a dark cell.

Tears streamed down my face as I screamed desperately to be let out of this place. I didn't want to be locked up here forever!

I was locked up for two whole days without being fed. No one came to see me. It felt like I was dying, and I resigned myself to the fact that I would die here.

‘Calm down, Mia! They won't let you die. Just wait a little longer, we have to get out of this place!’ Lena reminded me and encouraged me to hold on.

‘You're right... I don't want to die here for nothing.’

That determination made me hold on, waiting for someone to get me out of here.

But then, the cell door creaked open. The light from a torch slightly illuminated the dark cell.

Logan's figure appeared in my view. His face remained cold, showing pent-up anger.

“Have you reflected on your mistakes?”

I just stared at him blankly from the dirty floor and smiled wryly. My body was too weak to speak, but my lips managed to form the words.

“I... I admit my mistakes...”

After saying those words, my eyes closed as my consciousness began to fade.

However, when I woke up, I was already in my warm bed with an IV stuck in my arm. Someone hugged me tightly from behind, whispering softly and hoarsely.

"Mia... as long as you stay by my side, I will never hurt you. You are not allowed to leave the pack. I will give you anything you want."

My eyes closed again. He only showed this tenderness when we were in my bed, purely because he felt satisfied, not because of genuine affection.

Because when tomorrow came, his attitude would return to being cold and indifferent.

My heart was very tired of searching for the Logan of the past, the Logan who loved me and cared for me with the attention of an older brother.

Days later, Logan ordered the doctor and servants to take care of me to restore my body. His care was so detailed and attentive, reminding me of my childhood.

When I had a fever, Logan would panic, never leaving my side, and taking care of me even to the point of not going to work.

For a moment, hope rose in my heart.

However, as soon as I was fully recovered, Logan's cold command came immediately.

"Go to Luna to ask for your punishment. Hurting the Alpha's heir will get you kicked out of the pack. We have to show that you are truly sorry."

I bowed my head and stared blankly at my hands. My feelings turned cold again.

"Yes, Alpha."

***

Kneeling before Olivia, I dragged the basin to wash her feet.

Olivia had ten maids who could serve her, but she chose me specifically to show her contempt for me in front of the other maids.

The maids whispered, looked down on me, and laughed at me.

"Ouch!"

Feeling that the water temperature was not to her liking, Olivia kicked me hard in the chest.

I fell backwards and covered my mouth as I coughed, feeling blood in my mouth.

Lena growled angrily. 'You must change and tear that hypocritical face apart with our claws. She is just the daughter of Alpha, who has no wolf abilities and only relies on Luna's power!’

'Yes, and we'll be locked in the basement and never see the sun again,' I warned her in my mind while holding back the pain in my chest.

Olivia smiled mercilessly at the blood on my palm.

"Can't you check the water temperature properly? You want to boil my feet!" She sneered, pretending her feet were blistered.

I gritted my teeth, knowing that it was just an excuse Olivia had made up. The water temperature was right for Olivia. However, arguing would only make Olivia find another fault to add to my suffering.

"I'm sorry, Luna. I'll get some more warm water."

"Yes. Hurry up! You're really wasting my time!"

This is the tenth time I’ve done this. My arms are tired and aching from carrying the basin of warm water back and forth from the kitchen and kneeling down to wash Olivia’s feet.

Not even a maid at Packhouse would ever do such menial work. My postpartum period isn’t over yet, but I have to do this work. My lower body is starting to ache.

I remained patient. Soon, I would regain my freedom. Fighting Luna would only land me in confinement or be thrown to the pack members to be used as their breeding tool.

Olivia snorted with satisfaction as I crawled over and washed her feet for the umpteenth time. This time, she didn't complain.

"The blood of a maid still flows through your veins. This job suits you well."

I bowed my head, pretending to be obedient, and nodded.

Olivia suddenly grabbed my jaw, forcing me to look up at her.

"Don't you have a mouth?! Answer me! Show respect and obedience to your Luna! Even though you were raised by the Alpha family, you are still a servant's daughter, and I am your Luna."

I pressed my lips together and replied respectfully, "Yes, Luna. I understand."

Olivia snorted contemptuously, releasing her grip roughly.

"This punishment is too light for you. You should be whipped to death for hurting the Alpha's heir. But that would make me look cruel and not fit my image."

I didn't argue.

Olivia stomped on the basin of water, causing it to splash and soak my clothes.

It was winter now, and my soaking wet clothes made me shiver as the cold air pierced me.

"Hurry up and get back to work!”

As I was scrubbing Olivia's feet, Logan walked into the room and glanced at me, but didn't say anything.

"Honey, have you finished your work? You're home very early." Olivia immediately stood up and approached him, smiling sweetly.

"I want to see Mia serve her punishment. What did you do to her?"

“Ah, I felt it was too harsh to punish her. So I just had her scrub the floor.” Olivia lied with a smile, then sighed helplessly.

“But Mia… she doesn’t feel any remorse. I’m powerless against her.”

I looked up at her to object, but Logan interrupted with a cold command.

“Don’t be too soft on her. She’s already hurt the Alpha’s heir, forcing us to pay a hefty compensation to the Moonstone Pack. Maid, bring Mia out to kneel in the courtyard for the Moonstone Pack to see.”
