Alpha, Let's break our bond

I remained silent while he continued in an apologetic voice, saying hoarsely, “ Lizzy, I know you are mad about Christine. Try to understand me. She is alone with her child. She knows nobody except me.”

Christine had only him. He didn't hesitate while saying this as if I had the whole world with me. I belonged to the Silver Wing Pack. My parents were omega and so was I. My father had once helped Erick's father. This way they became friends. After my father died in assisting Erick’s father in a battle, he took me to his pack with him.

I have lived in the same pack house as Erick since childhood. Erick’s father assured me that I would be treated equally as his daughter. But, he was wrong. I was an omega. How could I be compared with Alpha blood?

In his absence, Luna would often hand me several household works to do. All the pack members believed I was a maid in Alpha House. I remember Erick once introduced me to his friends as his personal maid. I had a crush on him. So, I was always eager to do his work. I thought he would take a fancy to me this way. Didn't expect him to actually take me as his maid.

That night, I cried so much. Alpha came to know this and scolded Erick. He later apologized to me. I instantly forgave him and the very next day began running after him to do his chores. I was really foolish.

“Yeah, you are right. She and her child have only you while I have the whole pack with me. You should spend more time with them. Take care of the family. I’m happy on my own.” I replied flatly.

“What do you mean?” He seemed angry while saying this.

“What do you think I mean by saying that? I said you are right. That means I’m agreeing with you. Do you have any problem with that?” I asked.

“Then what's this tone for? Why are you showing so much attitude?” He snapped.

“In which tone should I talk to you then?” My voice lost all the calmness and it felt quite rude. He remained silent for a while before adding, “Do as you wish.”

The phone was hung up. I threw my phone aside in anger. Earlier, he expected me to understand his closeness with his childhood sweetheart. I couldn't. Then I was labeled by him as a jealous wife who didn't understand her husband. Now that I was trying to understand him, he still had problems with it. I sighed and then shook everything out of my mind. I had much more important things to do, my paper work.

I stayed awake the whole night and when the sun rose, my work was completed. However, I didn't like the idea of going back home. After purposely delaying myself, I went back home. Erick had already left, as expected.

I took a shower, prepared breakfast for myself and after filling my stomach I went to my bed for a nap. I had just laid on the bed and my phone rang. It was Erick’s call.

“Lizzy… I got in an argument with the Alpha of our neighborhood pack. I have got scratches everywhere.”

“Hmm… ” I mumbled in a tired voice and went back to sleep. Through our mate bond, I could hear Erick's wolf's voice calling out for me. He seemed moaning in pain. But, I was too sleepy to open my eyes.

After some time, I opened my eyes only to find Erick standing by my bedside, looking coldly at me. Finding me completely awake, he snapped at me with a loud voice, “Lizzy, Why are you unaffected by everything?”

He was indeed right. I was not getting affected by anything which used to be a big thing for me earlier. I remember once Erick was wrestling with another Alpha. I saw a few scratches on his arms and couldn't hold myself. I jumped into the fight only to get beaten by the other Alpha. I became a laughing stock for everyone and Erick, instead of coming to check my wounds, shouted at me. He said I was foolish. He forbade me from coming to see his fights in the future. In his words, I was an embarrassment.

I ignored his words as I said in a casual voice, “ How are your wounds now? Are they healed? If they are not healing on their own, you would have to bring potion from the infirmary. We don't have them at home.”

Erick was easier to get offended from childhood and always got into arguments with others. Sometimes, his wounds would heal on their own due to his Alpha blood and sometimes it would take time. To take care of him, I took training in the pack’s infirmary of making potions for healing the wounds so that we don't have to go to the infirmary every time he gets into a fight. I used to brew potions myself and apply them on his wounds.

That's why my words surprised him. He was speechless at my response. I could see his eyes turning red in frustration. He then pulled me up in anger and yelled, “ Lizzy, how long are you going to fight me about Christine? I have told you many times there is nothing between us.”

“Oh, okay.” I replied in a calm voice and again fell on my bed to sleep which infuriated him. In anger, he chewed his lower lips and said nothing. Then, walked out by stomping his feet. Probably going to Pack’s infirmary to get potion for his wounds.
