Alpha, Let's break our bond

The days passed by and we had little to no conversation with each other. Soon the weekend arrived and so was the Candle Festival. After our last argument, Erick didn't mention the festival again. I thought he too let the idea go. However, I didn't expect him to actually bring Christine with him.

Bringing his childhood sweetheart to a festival that meant for couples only, wasn't he going all out in making his affair public?

I was working overtime in my office when my phone flickered with several notifications. Someone added me to the group chat of our pack. They were sharing the pictures of every couple who were celebrating the Candle Festival. Erick and Christine’s picture was also included. Christine’s hands were wrapped around Erick's arms while he was looking at her with a smile. The picture was so lovey dovey that they looked like a romantic couple. The group members even started voting for the best couple. Erick and Christine were leading in the voting trend. I smiled sarcastically looking at their pictures and then busied myself in my work. However, the she-wolves of our pack began texting me privately.

[Luna, Your Alpha has brought a mistress to the Candle Festival, what is your take on it?]

[Luna, Alpha Erick is cheating on you with the she-wolf of our enemy pack. Aren't you going to do anything about it?]

[Luna, please fight back with this evil she-wolf. We support you.]

They continued sharing pictures and videos of Erick and Christine with me. In one of the videos, they were participating in a competition. Their hands were tied with a rope and Christine was feeding chocolate to Erick with her lips. Many times, her lips touched with Erick’s and turned the activity into a perfect kiss. Other wolves cheered loudly on each incident, trying their best to flater the Alpha of the pack. Even the she-wolves who were privately texting me and showing their sympathy with me were seen flattering Alpha and his mistress. They all wanted to be in the good books of their Alpha.

I didn't want to bother myself in watching Erick's betrayal. However, the she-wolves of our pack got no chill. They continued spamming my messenger, asking when I’m giving it back to Christine. They were all waiting for my revenge. These were the same she-wolves who were jealous of me for marrying their handsome Alpha and didn't lose a chance of causing troubles for me. Now that Christine had returned, their jealousy shifted to her. They all were looking for a drama between me and her.

Since, I received so many messages from them, being silent was not an option for me. I typed a message and forwarded to all the she-wolves that read [Thanks for thinking about me. I appreciate your well wishes towards me. However, I’m busy with my work. I have no time for chit chat. Have fun in the celebration with your partner and let Alpha enjoy with his as well.]

I then opened the group chat where everyone was discussing who the best couple is. Most of the votes were casted on the picture of Erick and Christine with beautiful comments. I also typed a message. [ Alpha is indeed looking good with his partner. They are really a match made in heaven. My vote too goes for him and his partner.] I even added a hashtag while mixing their names. My message was caused a storm in the group chat. It was then followed by several messages.

[Who added Luna in the chat?]

[Omg! She has seen everything. What will Alpha do now?]

[Does she not care at all? How can she complement Alpha with other she-wolf?]

[Was she being sarcastic? Why do I feel like she was serious?]

One of the she-wolves shared the screenshot of my text that I sent to them. She mentioned [ She is calling Alpha’s friend his partner. Isn’t that mean she has already given up on Alpha?]

I was not longer interested in reading their text and shut the phone close. However, my phone kept beeping with notifications. I picked the phone up and put it on silent mode. Later, I had meeting with my seniors. I attended the meeting that went for an hour.

“The meeting was so tiring. You should take rest now. Why don't you go out with your husband and chill? After all, there are only a few days left to spend together with him?” My senior said, he was more like a elder brother to me. I just smiled in response before saying in a tired voice, “I’m fine.”

“Ah… You are so boring. I never saw you hanging out or chatting with your husband like other female employees of the company do. If your husband hadn't come to pick you up that day, I would still think you are single.” he added.

I bit my lips. It's not like I didn't want to do all these stuff like other girls. It's just I wasn't lucky as them to have husband whose world would revolve around me. I wonder had he married Christine, would he treat her the same way he had treated me all these years?

I then shook my head, dismissing all the thoughts about him or Christine and said to my senior, “If I was like other employees, you wouldn't be this hard working. Would you like that?”

He laughed on my words before replying, “No one can win the argument with a woman. Anyways, I'm leaving for my home. See you tomorrow.”

After my senior left, I checked the phone. There were ten missed calls from Erick, followed by his messages.

[Lizzy, pick up the phone.]

[Lizzy, let me explain. It's not what it looks like. Don't misunderstand me.]

[Lizzy, don't do anything stupid, okay? I’m coming to find you.]
