New life after My Alpha CheatedChapter 1

### Chapter 1

On the night of the Blood Moon, a night meant to celebrate our bond, I waited for my mate, Aldric, the alpha prince of the Silverclaw Pack. But he never came.

Instead, I found out where he was through a public post from Seraphine, a graceful omega with whom Aldric shared a long history. Her post went viral, showcasing their closeness at a luxurious pack gathering. She was pressed against him, laughing in a way that made my stomach twist. The caption under the image was a knife to my chest.

"Thank you, Aldric, for always making me feel like the only one that matters."

The comments that followed made it worse.

"Seraphine and Aldric should be the true mates. They fit perfectly. Who needs an omega like Selene when you have someone as regal as Seraphine?"

The words burned, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away. Seraphine had always been a presence in Aldric's life, part of his circle before I came along. The pack adored her, and many believed she should have been his true mate, not me. But we had been blessed by the Moon Goddess with the mate bond—at least, that's what I had thought.
