The Alpha Was Poisoned By His Mate After I Wedded to Another Alpha

At the annual full - moon gathering ceremony of the Silver Moon Pack,

A fellow werewolf sauntered up to Alpha Gorge with a playful grin.

"Hey, Alpha Gorge! Word has it that someone spotted you at the jewelry store recently, poring over diamond rings. The brilliance of those gems was said to be blinding. Have you found a Luna?" he jested.

At this, the surrounding werewolves swiveled their heads.

Alpha Gorge responded with a warm smile.

"Indeed. A girl has dedicated her entire youth to me. I made a promise to marry her before she turns twenty - five. She'll reach that age, and I don't want to make her wait a moment longer."

His words rippled through the crowd.

I once playfully teased Alpha Gorge, saying, "I'll only wait for you until I'm twenty - five. After that, if you still haven't married me, I'm going to leave you high and dry... "

Unbeknownst to everyone, the girl Alpha Gorge was about to marry wasn't me.​

Alpha Gorge and I had been childhood sweethearts.

Everyone in the pack knew just how head - over - heels I was for him. I had chased after him relentlessly since we were kids.​

Today, I spent hours at the laundromat, carefully getting all our clothes dry - cleaned.

My arms were filled with neatly folded piles of freshly cleaned garments as I made my way home.

I was exhausted, but the thought of seeing Alpha Gorge gave me the strength to keep going.​

As I reached the doorstep of our shared home and was about to insert the key into the lock, Alpha Gorge's voice drifted out from inside.

The door wasn't fully shut.

I froze in my tracks, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.

Inside the bedroom, Salina lay sprawled across the silk sheets, her fingers idly tracing circles on Alpha Gorge's bare chest.

"So, my love," she purred, her voice dripping with honey, "when are we going to make this official? I can't wait to be your Luna."​

Alpha Gorge let out a low chuckle, pulling Salina closer.

"Soon, my sweet. "

"But what about Lora? She's been with you for so long. Won't she cause trouble?"​

Alpha Gorge scoffed.

"Lora? She's nothing but a pathetic little puppy, following me around, begging for scraps of attention. After all these years, she's done so much for me, all because she's desperate to stay by my side. She has no backbone. A few sweet words, and she'll be eating out of my hand."

Salina let out a soft, contented sigh as she snuggled closer to Alpha Gorge, her fingers still lazily playing with the hair on his chest.​

It was only when a gentle draft from the slightly ajar door tickled my heated skin that Alpha Gorge finally seemed to sense something was wrong.

He lifted his head, and his eyes, which had been soft and warm just a moment ago, turned sharp as they landed on me standing there.​

Salina let out a startled yelp.

Without a word, she scrambled off the bed.

She shot a panicked look at Alpha Gorge. And then, still half - dressed, she bolted out of the room.​

I stood there, my arms still full of the clean clothes I had worked so hard to wash.

Alpha Gorge sat up slowly, " Make me some coffee. I'm parched,"

"Make it yourself. I'm not your slave!" I retorted irritably.

I bit my lower lip, my eyes already red - rimmed.​

Suddenly, Alpha Gorge took a step forward, placing his hands on either side of me, trapping me against the wall.

He leaned in slightly, and his warm breath fanned across my ear as he spoke in a low, seductive voice, "What's wrong? Are you angry? Stop being childish. You know I can't live without you."

As he spoke, his lips gently grazed my cheek, as if that could somehow soothe the gaping wound in my heart.​

Once, I would have melted at his touch, been infinitely greedy for his closeness.

But at this moment, I felt nothing but revulsion.

I forcefully pushed him away.

"Don't touch me!"
