After Leaving the Alpha, He Went Mad

Alice POV

While Leander, not far away, was gently wiping the corners of Rosalyn's mouth.

My heart hurt as if it was being pricked by needles.

“Oh, I see. Sorry to disturb you.”

I hung up the phone and could not hold back my tears anymore.

I staggered out of the restaurant and walked around the corner. I quickly typed a text message to Owen, [Sorry, I have something urgent to do and can't make it tonight.]

I did not want anyone I knew to see my embarrassment at that moment, I just wanted to be alone.

Walking aimlessly on the street, the cold night wind blew on my face, cutting my skin like a knife.

The scene at the wedding kept appearing in my mind.

All the members of the wolf pack were present, except Leander.

I thought he would give me a surprise when he showed up, as usual.

Finally, Leander arrived late, looking flustered.

He said Rosalyn had a heart attack and he had to be with her, so he had to take care of her at that time.

Then, he left me and carried Rosalyn away from the wedding.

I stood there alone like an abandoned doll.

All the blessings turned into endless irony.

That day, I became the laughing stock of the entire Green Track Falls wolf pack.

Eventually, I walked to a bar alone and ordered the strongest whiskey I could find.

Drink after drink, I tried to numb myself with alcohol. 

However, alcohol did not make me feel better. Instead, it made my thoughts even more confused.

I wanted to forget Leander, forget the bond of companionship, forget Rosalyn and everything.

My body was getting hotter and hotter and my head was getting more and more dizzy.

I took out my cell phone, stared blankly at the address book and finally dialed Leander’s number.

I wanted him to pick me up.

I wanted him to know that I was sad.

After the phone rang a few times, it was finally answered.

“Hello?” It was Rosalyn's sweet voice.

“Where's Leander?” I asked while suppressing my anger.

Rosalyn’s tone was calm and sweet as she answered, “He went to look at the documents.”

But then it changed into a cunning sly fox tone, "But Alice, it's so late, don't you have a man with you?”

She started to taunt me. “And you pretended to be drunk and called Leander to get his sympathy?”

My hands were clenched around the phone so tightly that my knuckles turned white.

I took a deep breath and hung up the phone.

I was stumbling on the way home. But the cold wind blowing on my face woke me up completely.

I looked at the night sky and began to think about the future.

‘Moon Goddess, how can I get Leander to agree to my application to join Werewolves Without Borders?’ I wondered in my heart.

My mind was in a mess and my body was starting to get tired.
