Let Go of My AlphaChapter 1

I had been with Damon for ten years, and yet here I was, still waiting for a sign that he saw a future with me. No mark, no proposal, not even a serious conversation about us.

But lately, I wasn’t even sure “us” was still a thing. Damon had grown distant, his attention focused on Serena, a stunning she-wolf from our pack. She seemed to always be where he was—at meetings, during training, even now, at the pack party.

The party was supposed to be a celebration for the pack, but for me, it felt more like torture. I stood near the drink table, watching Damon and Serena laugh like they were the only two people in the room.

She leaned in, whispering something in his ear, and he grinned.

I was about to leave when Serena approached me, a plate of food in hand.

“You should try this, Elara…” she said sweetly, holding the plate out to me. Her smile didn’t reach her eyes.

I looked at the food—there were herbs sprinkled all over it. My stomach twisted. “Thanks, but I’m good,” I said, stepping back.

“Oh, come on!” she insisted, pushing the plate toward me. “Damon said you’re too picky. It’s good to try new things.”
