Alpha Jacob's Untimely Repentance

“I-" I started, but he cut me off.

“Whoever it is, he's lying. Besides, I texted you to ask what kind of bracelet you wanted, but you didn't answer. So I bought the one that I thought you would like."

“I didn't hear my phone beep." I muttered in a stiff voice, not wanting to tolerate his lies.

How could he lie to me like that?

He pulled out a silver bracelet from his brief case and stretched it towards me.

I didn't feel loved by him like I used to whenever he showered me with gifts. I just felt hurt that he would lie to me and I was sure that he gave me this gift because he wanted me to forgive him after I found Lisa's lingerie.

I didn't take the bracelet from him, instead, I said, “I prefer earrings to bracelets. I've told you this before.”

"Can't you appreciate my gift even if you don't like it?” He asked me as disbelief shown on his face.

“Fine, give it to me." I muttered as I took the bracelet from him even though I knew he was gaslighting me.

He held onto the bracelet tightly, and shook his head, “You said that you don't like it, so I'll be giving it to someone else."

He looked angry as the scowl on his face deepened, but I didn't care. I felt just as angry.

So he didn't even plan on giving me the gift, he just wanted to play around with my feelings.

Before I could reply, he turned around and made his way out of the room.

My phone started ringing and I pulled it out of my purse.

Glancing at the screen, I saw that it was Amal and I couldn't help, but smile.

“Hey, I heard that you've been admitted into the pack’s hospital after seeing Alpha Jacob having lunch with Lisa.” She rushed out in one breath.

So those were the rumors! Who was spreading these rumors? Did they want me to lose the pack members’ respect?

“That's not exactly what happened. I did see them, but I didn't get admitted into the pack hospital. I was just taken there to see Dr. Nelson because I was feeling dizzy.” I replied without telling her about what I heard before I became dizzy since I didn't want her to know.

It was so embarrassing for people to know that I was being cheated on and it was even more embarrassing for them to find out how much it affected me.

She sounded sympathetic as she said, “Oh! So that's what happened. How are you feeling now? What did the doctor say is the cause of the dizziness? I hope it's nothing too serious.”

“Yeah, it's nothing serious, just stress." I replied, feeling better already as I realized that I still have people that care about me.

“Oh, you poor thing. Don't worry, you'll feel better after resting." She cooed like she was speaking to a baby.

I couldn't help, but laugh which made her laugh too.

“By the way, I saw Lisa post about gifts that Alpha Jacob bought her. I'll send you the link to the post.” She muttered in distaste.

Before I could reply, she added, "I need to go, talk to you later.”

"Okay, bye.” I replied and she hung up.

My phone beeped and I checked it to see that it was Amal.

I clicked on the link and saw Lisa's post.

I read it out loud, “Alpha Jacob just bought me a set of jewelry! Isn't he so sweet?"

Under the post was a picture of a golden bracelet together with a golden necklace and golden earrings.

I scoffed in disbelief. So he bought her a full set while he bought me only a piece and it was even ordinary, not made out of gold like hers.

My phone beeped and I saw a message on Facebook from Lisa. We weren't even friends there, but she sent me a message.

I felt curious and viewed it.

It was that same post and I realized that she shared it with me.

She texted again, [Alpha Jacob told me that he gave you a silver bracelet to cheer you up, but you refused to accept it. I can give you mine if you prefer gold.]

She acted like she was being nice, but I knew that it was a ploy to make me feel bad.

She wanted to show me that Jacob cared about her more than he cared about me.

Anger bubbled inside my chest and I frowned.

I wanted to ignore her, but I knew that I should put her in her place since I was her Luna and I deserved her respect.

So I typed a reply, [I already have a gold bracelet with earrings, a necklace and an anklet. Jacob bought them for me on the day of our anniversary.]

Her reply was instant, [Oh.]

“Your reply is amazing! She won't try disrespecting you again!” My wolf, Willow exclaimed in my head.

“But she'll still be disrespecting me since Jacob is having an affair with her." I replied and a sigh escaped my lips.

Willow grunted then said, “But she won't try messing with you again."

“Yeah, you're right." I said as I grabbed one of the bottles of medicine and poured one pill onto my hand.

I did the same with the other bottle then took the glass of water from the bedside table and used it to take the medicine.

“What does our mate even see in her?" Willow pondered.

“No idea, and remember, he won't be our mate for long." I reminded her as I placed the glass cup back on the table.

I climbed out of bed and walked to my chest of drawers.

I opened my large suitcase then pulled out my dresses from the set of drawers first, followed by my skirts and tops and then underwear, toiletries and makeup.

It took me hours to pack, and when I was finally done, I felt relieved.

I was leaving Jacob and going back to my old life!

I will never come back after I leave this time.
