The Alpha After Divorce

Samantha’s POV

I tried to speak but could not because of the tears streaming down my cheeks; I placed my palm over my eyes while sobbing gently, settling myself for a moment, and staring him in the eyes with a gloomy expression.

"I...I want a divorce!"

Lucas is staring at me in silence, and I am aware that he is surprised because he didn't foresee this happening.

"Do you believe that you will be fine if you divorce me?" I shivered as Lucas laughed sarcastically.

"I'll be fine…." I spoke in a distant, quiet, and lifeless whisper.

Lucas's face clouded, and he exclaimed, "Fine! We are going to inform the Pack Elders about it! You know what? I'll be happy without you!"

"I've made a decision, Lucas! And I believe this is the best decision I will ever make!"

“That you’re leaving me?!”

“Yes!”

After I said this, he went away, leaving me with a loud bang near the door.

I immediately grabbed a dress from my closet, washed my face with water, and walked down the stairs to find Lucas waiting for me.

The servants unlocked the gate for us, and two guards accompanied me to the car and opened the car's door. Before I could respond, Lucas had already thrown me into the car after stopping the guard and telling them to leave me alone.

“What is wrong with you?!”

“Nothing…as you don’t matter to me anymore!” he said and asked the driver to drive to the Pack’s House.

When we arrived at the Pack's House, he left me in the car while he walked alone to be greeted by a pack member. My body trembled as I got out of the car. I know they dislike me since they never treat me as a member of the pack or as the Luna of this pack.

Lucas eyed me from a distance, then returned, grabbed my hand, and dragged me inside the house. The Elder woman examined me intently before glancing at Lucas. As advisors to both alphas and betas, the viewpoint of an elder is highly regarded across the pack. They are expected to serve as role models for the pack, including adults, cubs, and guests, demonstrating the pack's behaviour.

"What could we possibly have here, Alpha Lucas?" The older woman named Ursullas inquired; while she is pretty old, she still possesses strong instincts and is very powerful.

"We've chosen to part ways; I've rejected her as my luna, and she's no longer my mate!" Lucas spoke deliberately, word by word, and then he glanced at me and said, "I don't love her..."

“How about you, Samantha?” Ursula asks.

“Uhm, I...uhm—" That’s the only thing I could say with a stuttering voice, I squeezed my eyelids shut to block the hot tears streaming down my face. But it did not.

"Do you ever love your Alpha?"

"All I want is a divorce, and I never want to see his face again. Elders, kindly grant my request...our request!"

The faces of the Pack Elders were furrowed with worry and confusion as they sighed and stared at us like they studied our behaviour.

I don't hear what the elders have decided. My mind went blank, and as I looked at Lucas, I no longer saw any remorse on his face. I thought Lucas would fight for me, he would ask me to be his mate, and he would beg me not to leave him, but it turns out that I was the only one who was in love during our three years of marriage, and he was not there, I was alone.

The next thing I knew, I was alone in my room, packing my things and preparing to leave the Madcrest Pack. I did my best to be the best wife and his luna, but he still doesn't recognize my worth. Maybe I deserve even more, better than him.

Every step I take is accompanied by a heavy heart that wants to return to him, but I can't because he has already told me that he would never love me. Amusing, right? Although it may sound pathetic, I will never impose myself again on someone who causes me only heartache.

Just when I exited the mansion, I felt awe, greeted by cool air, but it became oppressive as the humidity pounded down and suffocated me. The aroma of rain is heavy and smoky.

A low crackle of thunder rolls across the rooftops in the street's silence, accompanied by the pitter-patter of tiny raindrops. Everything halts momentarily. The wind itself holds its breath. A blazing silver stripe breaks the sky, and the rain begins. I exhale heavily and sigh of relief as I stare at the mansion where I resided for three years.

"Bye for now..." but I don't know where I'm going. I'm going nowhere.

I went inside the taxi when someone knocked on the door with a deep sigh. The strange man soaked in the rain seemed to have run all the way here to stop me from where I was going. I rolled down the window and asked, "Who are you?!"

"Ivan...Ivan Boozer," he said with his deep and husky voice before opening the car and instructing the driver to drive elsewhere.

My eyes glow in the dark as I continue to be puzzled while staring at the strange man. Then he said, "I'm your father's Beta, and I'm here to take you to your father!"

A flashback of what happened to me when I was fifteen flashes across my mind. A dark past that I wish to forget. I was chased by Dark Rogues in the wilderness with no one to help me. I ran till I no longer knew where I was going. Even though I was terrified, I simply raced and used all my power to avoid falling to my knees or tumbling to the ground.

Someone falsely accused me, I don't know, forcing me to lose my memories, but Lucas' father was able to save me from the Dark Ruthless Rogues who were chasing me and almost killed me by then.

He asked me to marry his son, took me to his pack, and introduced me to his son, Lucas. The first time I saw him, I was swamped with awe, and my heart was racing with excitement. My eyes slowly filled with tears as I remembered everything.

I sniffled and said, “I don’t want to go back again, and be chased by Dark Rogues!”

Ivan was stunned as he heard that from me, but it didn't stop him from persuading me from returning to my father, as the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack.

“He had no idea what I’ve been through for the past three years!” I added while I gritted my teeth and grasped the hem of the dress while thinking about what happened to me.

"What do you mean?" Ivan asked with a quiet and curious tone. He appears pretty interested in what happened to me. Because there is always another side to every tale, and nobody heard my side.

"I suspected that one of the members of the Feral Pack had framed me that year! Therefore, it is unsafe for me to return there! Can you not see? I no longer have a pack…everyone tried to betray me!"

Ivan groaned and handed me a black card from his coat pocket, saying, "If you change your mind, feel free to call me. We are always here for you, Samantha, and you are always welcome to rejoin the pack." As I did not accept the black card on his palm, he groaned and said, "Fine, I agree with you. I'll discuss this with your father and see what his conclusion is. Just take the card—"

"Get out! I don’t want your card or you contract!"

Ivan raised his hand and responded, "I will going to find you, Samantha!"

I shoved him out of the car, and I could hear his angry growl.

“Miss that was dangerous—” the driver said with a trembling voice.

“Yes, I know, so please keep driving!”
