Chapter 2

When I came around, the first thing I saw was the ceiling of our master bedroom. I rubbed the back of my aching head, the pain making me wince as anger surged in my chest. That jerk actually struck me, knocked me out, and didn't even bother to tend to me afterward. My wolf, Diane, was practically fuming. "How dare Jeremy plan on making us his Luna after having a pup with another she-wolf? He's going too far! We can't just let this slide. Who does he think he is to treat us this way? The Lunaris pack hasn't fallen so low that a lesser pack can trample over us!" she said with a snarl. A smile tugged at my lips. Diane wasn't wrong. While Jeremy came from a lesser-known pack, my father, Zachary Gibson, ruled the prestigious and centuries-old Lunaris pack. This was no longer my house either. As I had already become Hayden's Luna, I didn't want to spend a second longer in here. When I opened the door, I saw Jeremy and Rebecca inside the dining room. The duo looked like a married couple, laughing happily and completely ignoring my existence. The warm lighting in the dining room made the scene even more cozy. They were even holding hands while sitting close to each other. Jeremy would serve her food and spoonfeed her, asking gently if she liked it. I once believed I was the only one who ever saw his gentle side. However, I thought back and realized I had never received this kind of treatment before. Since we got together, I had always been the one to cook for him. At most, he would only compliment my cooking. While it seemed like he had showered me with affection, he had never put in any effort for me. Jeremy had always told me he wanted to become the Alpha of the strongest pack. Thus, he had plenty of things on his plate. He had even given me the perfect excuse. "Your father is the Alpha of the strongest pack. I can't be any less than that and cause you to suffer. I must work harder now to give you a better life. This way, you'll feel proud of me." Now, Jeremy got another Omega to become with pup and cast me aside. Yet, he blamed me for being childish and making a scene. As I looked at him now, I couldn't help but regret how blind I had once been. When Jeremy turned his head, the smile on his face froze. Rebecca also looked over and greeted me warmly, "Luna, you're awake. Come and eat. Jeremy's quite a good cook." A sneer curled on my lips. Jeremy was able to break his so-called principles for another Omega. It turned out his precious hands could cook for someone else, and spare some time from his busy schedule for the said she-wolf. I ignored her and walked toward the dining table. I said calmly, "Jeremy, let's end this." Jeremy paused for a moment before sneering. "Shirley, have you forgotten how I've treated you these past few years? "I did something wrong, sure. However, who doesn't? Every wolf makes mistakes. Haven't I forgiven and tolerated yours before? Must you really be so unforgiving?" I stayed silent. So, in his eyes, having a pup with someone else was no different than me breaking a bowl or burning a soup. When he saw the resolve in my expression, his patience ran out. "Fine. You want to leave? Go ahead! Don't come crawling back when you regret it! "You still owe Rebecca an apology, though. Didn't you hear what she said just now?" I stared at him in disbelief as his words landed like a heavy blow to my head. Jeremy never missed a chance to remind me what kind of person he truly was. I sneered. "What do you want me to say? Thank her for bearing my mate's pup and sparing me the pain of motherhood? Or should I scream and claw at her, slap her, and call her a whore before kicking her out?" When Jeremy heard my words, his expression turned grim.
