Chapter 1
Alpha Jasper carried his brother’s widow to a safe place.
He wanted to come back in to rescue me, but
Omega Bianca grabbed his arm. “Alpha Jasper, I
feel like I can’t breathe… I’m so uncomfortable…
please help me…”
And with that, her eyes closed, and she passed
out.
“Bianca!”
Alpha Jasper cried out in panic, instantly turning to tend to her.
He didn’t even spare me a glance.

I watched, helpless, as he performed chest compressions and mouth–to–mouth resuscitation on Omega Bianca, as if she were the love of his life.
I wanted to yell, “She’s breathing, you idiot! That’s just her being Omega–level dramatic!”
But rogue wolves attack me again, cutting off any chance for sarcasm. I fought them off as long as I could, but exhaustion and heartbreak wore me down.
“Jasper…” My voice was weak and couldn’t get above the Rogue wolf’s howl of pain at death. “I’m pregnant.”
He didn’t hear me. Or maybe he just didn’t care.

The last thing I saw was his shadow hovering protectively over Bianca as my world went black.
I woke up to the sterile glare of fluorescent lights and the stifling smell of antiseptic. My wolf stirred weakly, the bond we shared almost felt… fractured.
This wasn’t the afterlife. This was the Ambersy Pack hospital.
I was alive.
But my pup wasn’t.

A sharp pain stabbed through my chest as I clutched my belly.
The Pack doctor stood by my bedside, her expression carefully neutral. I asked her, my voice barely above a whisper, “Can you… keep my pregnancy a secret? I don’t want anyone to know.”
She hesitated but nodded. After she left, I curled into myself, sobbing.
I’d dreamed of this pup, loved it more than my own life. And now…
Because of Alpha Jasper and his obsession with Omega Bianca, I’d lost everything.
“Audrey, you’re awake.”

I flinched at the sound of his voice. Alpha Jasper stood in the doorway, his broad shoulders filling the frame. His expression was a mix of relief and guilt.
I turned my head, unwilling to meet his gaze. “Go away, Jasper. I don’t want to see you.”
He stepped inside anyway. “Are you mad at me?”
I laughed bitterly. “Mad? Why would I be mad? You left me to die while you played hero with Bianca. Totally fine, really.”
His brows furrowed. “You’re being so unreasonable. My brother Vernon is dead. I promised him I would take care of his mate

Bianca. Can’t you understand that?”
“Understand?” I sat up, my wolf stirring angrily beneath my skin. “Did you even think about what would happen to me? What if I hadn’t made it? What if the rogues had killed me?”
Alpha Jasper‘ gaze faltered. “…That wouldn’t have happened. Don’t make pointless assumptions.”
He couldn’t bring himself to answer directly.
He was just feeling guilty.
The last shred of hope I had left was crushed in that moment.
“Admit it. You care about her more than
you

care about me.”
“Alpha Jasper, let’s call off our engagement. Dissolve our mate.”
Alpha Jasper‘ expression grew serious, a hint of impatience creeping into his voice. “Can you stop making jokes like this? I only see Bianca as a sister. Are you really jealous of her?”
Before I could retort, Omega Bianca’s voice drifted in from the next room.
“Alpha Jasper? Alpha Jasper, where are you? I’m scared…”
Alpha Jasper’s head turned immediately toward the sound. He hesitated, just for a moment,
before leaving.

I stared at the empty doorway, my chest hollow. He didn’t even notice the tears streaming down my face.
For three days, Alpha Jasper didn’t come to see me. Not once.
The bond between us, the mate bond that was supposed to be unbreakable, felt like a cruel joke. My wolf whimpered softly in my mind, but I shushed her.
I wasn’t going to cry anymore.
Ever since his younger brother’s death, my peaceful and happy life had been shattered.

We had been in love for seven years, and we were so close to getting married.
Seven years of love, of promises, all gone because of his obsession with saving Omega Bianca.
“Alpha Jasper,” I whispered to the empty room, “we’re done.”
