There was a brief silence as I swallowed the lump in my throat, forcing myself to sound calm. “Where are you?” I asked, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside.
[I told you I’m in a meeting. What’s the matter?]
He didn’t even flinch as he lied, his tone as smooth as ever. He didn’t know that the whole pack already knew where he truly was, and with whom. There was no guilt, no panic in his voice—just the same icy indifference.
I glanced around the room, catching the pitying looks from the Omega maids as they scurried about, pretending not to notice me. Something inside me snapped, the last thread of patience fraying beyond repair.
“Let’s break up,” I said, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. “I don’t want to be your mate anymore. I don’t care if breaking our bond will kill me in pain—let’s just end it.”
There was a pause on the other end before his irritated voice cut through the bond. [What the hell is this… You’re making a fuss again.]
I sneered, the bitterness in my heart spilling over. “Stop lying, Alpha. Everyone in the pack knows you’re with Leila right now.”
