The Alpha’s Silent Vow

In her past life, Kyson Baker, the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, had been diagnosed with a rare illness that weakened his inner wolf. Desperate to shield Olivia Lewis from the pain of his decline, he concealed the truth, resorting to emotional cruelty and public humiliation to push her away. He took Nalani Wheeler, a Gamma warrior and Olivia’s closest friend, as his mate, hoping Olivia would leave him. But the weight of his betrayal and the secret of his illness proved too much for Olivia to bear. In her despair, she took her own life, unaware that she was carrying his child. After her death, Kyson’s health improved, and he was eventually saved. Yet, at her graveside, he wept bitterly, consumed by guilt. Urged by his pack, he eventually married Nalani, though his heart remained haunted by Olivia.

At the gathering, held in the lavish private dining room of the Blood Moon Pack’s estate, Kyson had jokingly suggested they divorce. His tone was light, almost teasing, but the glint in his eyes hinted at something darker. Instead of reacting with the expected fury, Olivia responded smoothly, "Sure."

Her words hung in the air, met with stunned silence. The room, filled with the pack’s elite—Betas, Gammas, and Deltas—froze, their expressions shifting from amusement to unease. Olivia, unfazed, continued enjoying her slice of spiced honey cake, her demeanor calm and collected. Kyson’s hand, which had been clasped around Nalani’s, gradually loosened its grip. His cheerful mask slipped, replaced by a tense, almost unpleasant expression. It was clear he hadn’t expected her reaction. Perhaps he had been confident in her love for him, certain that even as a jest, she would take it to heart, become infuriated, and create a scene. How could she possibly agree so calmly?

Around them, his friends—loyal pack members who each had their own interests and agendas—exchanged bewildered glances. The anticipation of witnessing Olivia’s wrath and a dramatic outburst had been dashed. The situation had taken an unexpected turn, leaving them all unsettled. Yet Olivia derived no satisfaction from their confusion. She calmly scanned each face in the room, her gaze lingering briefly on Nalani’s strikingly beautiful features. In her past life, Olivia had considered Nalani her best friend, overlooking the fact that she and Kyson had been childhood companions. While Nalani had always seemed to be Olivia’s protector, her betrayal during critical moments felt all the more painful and profound.

Nalani’s expression wavered under Olivia’s scrutiny. She instinctively glanced at Kyson, who was glaring at Olivia, his face tense and his jaw set. Her eyes darkened momentarily before she quickly adopted a cheerful demeanor and approached Olivia. "Oh, don’t be mad, don’t be mad," Nalani said, her voice sweet and conciliatory. "It was Mathias Rodriguez’s silly idea. We were just teasing you."

Olivia stepped back, avoiding Nalani’s outstretched hand, her face serious as she addressed Kyson. "But I’m not joking," she stated, her voice firm and unwavering. "Seriously, let’s get a divorce, Alpha Kyson."

The use of his title—Alpha Kyson—struck a chord, emphasizing the formal severance of their bond. The room fell silent once more, the weight of her words settling over the gathering. Kyson’s eyes narrowed, his alpha aura pressing down on the room, but Olivia stood her ground. She had made her decision, and there would be no turning back.
