Letting Go as My Alpha’s Breeder Bears His Child

SAVANNAH

“She can stay.”

That was the first mistake as I came to realize over the months that had passed because from that moment onward, everything fell apart.

Well, at least it did for me.

“Savannah, are you listening to me?”

I blinked, snapping out of my spiraling thoughts to focus on the man across the table. Luther Scott—my father’s best friend and the only person I could trust to speak the truth—watched me with an expression that screamed pity.

“I’m sorry, Luther. I zoned out. It won’t happen again.”

His gaze softened, though it didn’t erase the sadness etched in his features. He reached across the table, his hand squeezing mine with the same warmth that had comforted me since childhood.

“I hate that this is happening to you, Savannah. But I have to say it, even though it won’t make things easier.” He hesitated, his voice low and full of regret. “I warned you. I told you not to merge your pack with Evan’s. Your father gave you the pack because he knew your potential. He believed in you. You could’ve been a great Alpha, but instead, you chose to be his Luna. Now, it’s out of my hands. If you want to leave Evan, you’ll have to do it without your pack.”

The words hit like a punch to the chest. I closed my eyes, swallowing the bitterness they carried.

This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.

I shouldn’t have had to spend the last four months of my life being treated like a stranger in my own home. Four months of watching Evan, the man who had promised to love me till the end of time treat me like an afterthought.

And all because of her.

The woman he brought into our lives under the pretense of innocence—a façade I had seen through immediately. She was a manipulative viper, but no one else seemed to notice. When no one was looking, she made sure I knew exactly what she was: a scheming, vicious interloper who was determined to replace me as Luna.

At first, I fought back. I tried to make Evan see her for what she was but my efforts only pushed him further into her arms and the betrayal stung even more like nothing I’d ever known.

But I didn’t care anymore. It was difficult but I had simply let go… she could be his Luna.

I was supposed to be an Alpha before I put love first and handed over the reins of my pack to him. Now, all I wanted to do was walk away.

With my pack.

Unfortunately, reality had just slammed into me hard that I was truly about to lose everything. Blinking back tears, I forced myself to stay strong meeting his gaze.

“So there’s really nothing I can do?” My voice wavered despite my effort to keep it steady. “I didn’t know it would come to this, Luther. I… I loved him. I gave him everything. I took a hit intended for him that should have killed him—that’s why I can’t have children. I sacrificed so much for him, and now he chooses her? After everything I’ve done? Ho can he bring her in? How can he not see her for what she is?”

The tears I’d been holding back spilled over, and I hated myself for it. Hated how much I still cared when I should’ve been stronger.

Luther stood, coming around the table to pull me into a warm embrace. “I’m so sorry, Savannah. I wish there was something I could do but it’s out of my hands. Have you asked him? He might give you your pack.”

Wiping the tears from my face, a sad smile graced my face, “I’m not telling him anything until

everything is set and I am ready to reject him. It doesn’t matter, Evan will never hand over my pack amicably. The power from mine bleeds into his, after six years he won’t let that go.”

Luther nodded in understanding, still robbing my back like he used to do when I was a little, like he still did because ever since my parents died, he had stepped in and filled the role. Silence stretched between us and I finally said the words I had really come here to say because Luther being able to help me was a long shot.

“There is one person with enough power to unmerge our packs.”

The moment the words left my lips, Luther pulled away and from the look on his face, the real reason why I had come to him had clicked. He shook his head, “No, Savannah. No. That’s why you came to me. Not to ask for my help but to get to him.”

“Uncle Luther—“

“No, Savannah!” His tone was sharp, final. “Thane Blackwood might be the Alpha King, but he is not someone you should ever associate with.”

“And what if I had chosen to remain an Alpha? If I hadn’t merged the packs?” I shot back, my frustration rising. “Wouldn’t I have had to meet him eventually?”

“That would’ve been different,” he countered, his voice firm. “But now you have nothing. Asking for his help would be you walking into a slaughter without any form of defense. You don’t understand what you’re asking for.”

His eyes locked onto mine, the severity of his words sending a chill down my spine. “The rumors don’t even begin to describe the man he is. Thane Blackwood isn’t just dangerous—he’s worse than the devil himself. If you cross paths with him, Savannah, it won’t end well. It’ll end in your ruin.”
