When He Realized What He Lost, He Fell Into Depression

Jade’s head snapped to the side from the force of the punch, and she stumbled but she didn’t fall.

Jade slowly turned her head back to face Felix with cold dead eyes.

For the first time, Felix hesitated.

“You hit me,” she whispered, her voice was calm, too calm.

He scowled. “You hurt Bella! Now apologize!”

“Bella is a gamma werewolf, I'm just an omega. How can I hurt her?” Jade snapped.

Felix scowled at her. “Apologize! Now!”

Jade sneered. “Over my dead body.” She spat venomously.

A look of confusion crossed Felix's face. Jade never spoke like that to him. What was going on with her?

“If you don't apologize to her, then you can say goodbye to being head healer in this pack.” He threatened.

Jade smiled bitterly. “Fine,” she said, and Felix relaxed, thinking she was going to apologize.

“I don't want to be the head healer, anyway.” she added with a shrug.

Felix's mouth dropped open as he watched Jade walk away. No, something was wrong.

Before he could call her back, Bella clutched his arm tightly.

“Ow, my head hurts.” She cried, “I think she hit me very badly.”

Felix instantly became worried for her, completely forgetting that she was a werewolf, from a gamma bloodline. An omega like Jade couldn't possibly hurt her.

“Come on, Bella. Let's go to the pack's clinic.” He said softly.

Immediately Jade got back home, she called the head of the Healer's Sanctum.

“Jade! It's so good to hear from you,” Jim greeted. “Please tell me that you have reconsidered our offer. It'll really be a—”

“Yes,” Jade replied, “I have thought about it, and yes, I'll take the position at the Healer's Sanctum. Give me a week so that I can put everything in order.”

Jim was ecstatic that Jade had finally accepted to come work for the Sanctum. “Of course, take as much time as you need my dear.”

When she finished speaking with Jim, she started packing her things.

She picked up those fake meaningless gifts from Felix and threw them into the trash.

When Felix finally came back home, he stared around in surprise. The place looked slightly empty.

Concern flashed through him. Was Jade packing? Why?

Then he snorted internally. It wasn't possible. Jade couldn't do without him.

“What’s going on? What are you doing?” Felix asked, looking around in confusion.

Jade faked a smile. “I’m just throwing away some of my old things. I don’t need them anymore.”

Felix frowned, stepping closer. “Really? All these things? That's a lot”

“It’s just stuff,” she replied, shrugging causally.

He nodded, brushing it out of his mind.

“Bella told me that she forgives you. She said she doesn’t want things to stay this way between you two, she really wants you two to be friends.”

Jade snorted, “She forgives me? I don't need her forgiveness. Bella is just a pretentious bitch.” She spat.

Felix raised his hand again, as if he wanted to hit her again, then he paused.

“Don't talk about Bella like that,” he hissed.

Jade smiled bitterly, “Of course,” she mumbled, turning back her attention to what she was doing.

Felix sighed. “I'm sorry. I wasn't going to hit you. I swear.”

Jade hummed, but didn't say anything in reply.

He sighed again, “You know what, what if I take you to that restaurant that you love so much that serves spicy noodle sauce?”

Jade faked a smile, pretending to be happy at his words. She needed something from him, so she needed him to think she was okay.

“Okay, what time?” She asked softly.

Internally, Felix smirked. He knew he could easily get Jade to soften up. He knew it would work.

“Seven?” Felix suggested, keeping his voice soft.

Jade nodded, still pretending to play along. “Seven is perfect.”

Felix leaned down to kiss her, and she stiffened as disgust coursed through her.

“Don't worry, by next week, I'll make you the pack's head healer.” He promised.

Next week, at the same time he was having his mating ceremony with Bella.

Jade watched Felix leave with a sneer on her face. He had been making that promise to her for ages.

But now, it meant nothing to her, because by next week, she'll be gone.
