The Alpha's Discarded LunaChapter 1

"If you can’t give me a child, then what are you still here for?"

That was the first thing he said when I told him the truth. Not a pause. Not a moment of silence. Just that.

I could no longer get pregnant. The doctor’s words were final. My ovaries were weak. Two failed pregnancies had sealed that fate.

I grieved. I broke. My marriage with Darius was founded on love. It was arranged by our elders, but even before that, we already loved each other. That made our union effortless.

But everything crumbled the moment I told him I could no longer carry his child. The life we built began to collapse, one piece at a time. No matter what I did, I ended up with nothing.

Just like now.

"Rosella, prepare this," he said the moment he walked through the door.

I saw my favorite dish. The same one from the restaurant he once built for me. But I couldn't smile or feel the same excitement as before. I knew it wasn’t for me.

"L-Luna..." said the woman beside him, bowing her head like she was ashamed.
