Banished By The Alpha, Pregnant With His Pup

Adeline POV:

"Come back here!"

Elder Genevieve, Alston's grandmother and the pack's matriarch, grabbed her grandson's arm, her voice a harsh whisper.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I promised Adeline's late grandmother I would take good care of her! You've barely been mated for two months and you want to reject her? She just turned twenty; are you trying to kill her?!"

I stood frozen behind the pillar on the second-floor landing. I desperately suppressed my scent and my heartbeat, terrified his heightened Alpha hearing would catch me.

"Kill her? Hah!" Alston let out a cold, chilling laugh. "Grandma, Dayana lost the baby! That pup was Arthur's only bloodline! And yet Adeline gets to live comfortably? Tell me, who is killing who?!"

"This..." Genevieve hesitated.

"I never wanted her as my mate in the first place! You forced me to take her!" Alston's voice was filled with extreme impatience. "If she could just behave, I would have swallowed it! But now? I cannot accept a murderer as my Luna!"

"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my wolf. My wolf wants to tear her apart!"

"Stop!" Genevieve seemed frightened by the sheer feral malice in his tone. "Fine. I won't let you see her. I'll exile her to the human world, far away from pack lands. Will that do?"

Silence stretched for a long moment before Alston took a step back. "Do whatever you want."

I turned around frantically and ran back to my room. The moment the door clicked shut, my legs gave out.

I didn't know he hated me this much! He was forced to accept our mate bond!

My parents died when I was young. Because my grandmother and Genevieve were best friends, Genevieve took me in. Becoming Alston's mate, his Luna, became my ultimate dream. I was his fated mate, and he was mine!

But it turned out... it was all my own wishful thinking.

I covered my mouth, crying so hard my chest physically ached. My world was shattering into a million jagged pieces.

Knock, knock.

"Adeline, dear, are you awake?" It was Genevieve.

I quickly wiped my tears, scrambled off the floor, and opened the door. I forced a broken smile. "Grandma."

Genevieve scrutinized my red and swollen eyes. But thinking of the crime I had supposedly committed, her gaze hardened.

"Didn't you say you wanted to study abroad in the human world before?" Genevieve said smoothly. "I'll make the arrangements. You should leave as soon as possible."
