Chapter 3
Althea didn’t know who that woman was, but her mind was spinning because she could feel her wolf didn’t like the sight of it. Her wolf wanted their mate and she wanted to claw this woman’s face for touching who was theirs, but then Althea’s body was too weak to inflict any violence.
But then, it didn’t matter anymore who that pretty woman was, because the next thing that Killian said was the rejection that Althea had been craving for months.
“I, Killian Brian Darwin, reject you, Althea Rose Brown, as my mate. May the bond be severed forever.”
Althea had been wanting this moment, but this came very suddenly and with her discovery about her pregnancy this evening, she was not prepared for this.
She knelt down immediately, feeling the pain because of the severed bond, while Sean immediately ran to her and hugged her tightly, preventing her from breaking down even more.
“You are so cruel, Alpha,” the woman chuckled, as she nibbled on Killian’s earlobe. “Don’t you feel anything?”
That woman finally noticed this weirdness, because Alpha Killian didn’t even flinch. He watched as Althea doubled over in pain, but his expression was still the same, as if he didn’t have his own heart being torn apart.
Of course, Killian felt the pain too, but he would never show it. He thought when he learned about Willow’s death, his heart wouldn’t ache anymore, but truth be told, nobody knew how much effort Killian had to exert to keep himself from crumbling down.
“I want you to leave this pack without taking anything with you. I want you to be gone by the morning.”
“Alpha!” Sean looked at him with tears in her eyes. “How can you do this to your own destined mate?” She felt the pain for both of them.
“She is a murderer, how do you think the Alpha will accept a person, who had killed his lover?” The woman chimed in.
However, Sean ignored that woman’s complaint, she looked at the alpha helplessly. “Alpha, please think about this again, you will regret this, because…”
Althea immediately grabbed Sean’s hand, she squeezed it so hard to stop the old woman from telling the alpha about her pregnancy, because she didn’t want Killian to know. The pain that she had to endure made it harder for Althea to speak.
But, thankfully, that woman with Killian cut Sean off. “Old hag! Stop talking over the Alpha!” She snapped at Sean. “If you dare to raise your voice on her, I am going to smash your head to the wall!” Killian growled dangerously at the woman, which made her recoil in fear. The alpha wouldn’t allow anyone to disrespect Sean. “Go to the bedroom!”
“Y-yes alpha….” She immediately rushed away from the alpha’s wrath.
“I don’t want to see your face anymore in the morning, make sure to get out of the pack. You are banished.”
After saying that, Killian walked away, while Sean cried. She was angry with Killian, but at the same time, she felt so bad for him, because she knew he would regret what he had done to Althea today.
Tonight was a very awful night and none of them could get any sleep. Sean stayed awake with Althea to reassure her that everything would be alright, while in fact, nothing would be alright at all.
“Why don’t you come to bed with me, Alpha?” The woman said coquettishly, as she invited Killian to join her on the bed. but the alpha kept staring into the darkness out there through the window. No one could tell what was in his mind.
“Don’t you dare to touch me, Anika,” Killian said with a warning when the woman named Anika approached him and tried to touch him.
Reading the situation, Anika could only purse her lips and go to bed, trying to sleep, even though she was very mad with the way the alpha treated her.
Meanwhile, Killian stood there until the first rays of the sun touched his face and the darkness disappeared, but it was a bleak day, you could see how pale the sunlight was, which meant, there was a high possibility that rain would pour down this pack today.
“You don’t have to leave, Althea. I will talk with the alpha, I am sure he will…” Sean tried to persuade Althea to stay, but she shook her head, adamant to leave.
“No, Sean. I am going to leave. This is too much. Actually, this is the best. He has done both of us a favor. This is way better.”
Althea knew this pain wouldn’t last, there would come a point where she would be able to overcome this, but if she stayed, she knew that she would die slowly, and it would be a painful death.
She knew this was for the best, but why was her heart still bleeding?
“What about the baby?”
“Please, Sean. Don’t tell anyone about the pregnancy. I am going to leave everything behind and start a new life; just me and the baby. Please, don’t let anyone know about this. Killian will take the baby away from me. I can’t…”
Sean pressed her lips, she felt very sad.
“Sean, promise me. Don’t say anything about this. Ever.”
It was so hard for Sean to promise her this, but in the end, she nodded. “I promise. I promise. But, you need to be careful. You need to take care of yourself.” Sean then gave her a ring of her own. “Take this.”
“Killian said that I am not allowed to bring anything.”
“This belongs to me, not the Alpha. You’ll need money if you want to survive out there.”
Althea cried again, as she thanked her for everything and when the first rays of the sun appeared on the h**on, Althea left the pack.
But, she didn’t know that a certain alpha was watching her lonely back, as she walked further away from him with the baby in her womb.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
