He Lost Everything Chasing Me

The late Elder Elias Wren's daughter was pregnant again. This time, the way my mate, Kane Calder, chose to repay that debt was by dissolving our bond and making her Luna in my place. Under Greenridge pack law, an unmated she-wolf who became pregnant risked exile. So once again, Kane chose to sacrifice me. I had cried. I had fought. I had even tried to use our own child to make him change his mind, just as Vera Wren was doing now. None of it worked. He added an estate to the dissolution papers, then pushed the document in front of me, his impatience a palpable thing. "Is that enough? Sign it. Vera's showing, and the council has to acknowledge her and the pup before it's born." I didn't cry. I didn't argue. I just signed my name. At last, Kane smiled, satisfied. He took my hand, his voice a low promise. "Evelyn, Elder Elias was my mentor. He vouched for me with the council, helped prove I was fit to be Alpha. I can't let his daughter be disgraced, pregnant and unmated." "Once the child is acknowledged as my heir, I'll dissolve my bond with Vera and give the Luna position back to you." "I'll only stay in her wing on weekdays. On weekends, I'll come back to our Pack House. Nothing will change." I folded the dissolution papers and quietly watched him pack. He didn't know there was a pup in my belly, too. The scent-blocking spray from the healer was hiding it for now. I had already booked the procedure to terminate the pregnancy, and I had bought a plane ticket out of the pack. This time, I wouldn't be waiting for him.
