“I’m sorry, Luna Lyra. We’ve never encountered this type of wolfsbane before. I’m afraid you’ll need to seek another hospital.” The nurse said.
“Alright. Thank you.”
With the nurse’s help, I got down from the hospital bed.
“Shall we notify Alpha Drake to come and pick you up?”
“No, no need.” I said impatiently.
Last night, upon hearing that his mate Aeris had returned, Drake abandoned me and rushed off to see her even though I had been attacked by rogues.
I dragged my injured body to the hospital alone, calling him several times, but he rejected every call.
And in the morning, I woke up in the hospital to his call.
“I want to sever the mate bond with you.” He said on the phone, his voice cold.
When I reached home alone, Drake was waiting for me in the living room.
The strong scent of jasmine —Aeris’ scent on him filled the air.
My wound throbbed even more painfully.
Drake glanced at me with suspicion.
“Didn’t you say you were poisoned by wolfsbane? You seem perfectly fine to me.”
“I’m really been poisoned. ”
“Oh is it?! What kind of wolfsbane?” He asked mockingly.
“It’s still unclear. The doctors said they’ve never seen it before.”
“Hah, We’ve been married for three years, and you still haven’t stopped lying.!” Drake sneered in disdain and continued.
“Anyways, I, Alpha Drake of the Silver Moon Pack, reject Lyra as my mate.”
As soon as he finished, a piercing pain hit me, nearly making me collapse.
“Stop pretending to be pitiful. Do you think acting like this will make me stay with you?” Drake scoffed.
I leaned against the wall, refusing to faint in front of him. That would only make him think I was putting on another show.
Hold onto the last shred of pride, Lyra.
I motivated myself.
“I accept your rejection,” I replied, forcing the words out.
And the next second, I lost all my strength and fell to the ground. The agony of being rejected by my mate overwhelmed me completely.
For a brief moment, a complex emotion flickered in his eyes as if he couldn’t believe I’d accept so easily.
But he quickly returned to his cold demeanor.
“This is what you deserve, Lyra. Now you understand the pain Aeris felt when she was rejected. If it weren’t for your parents forcing me to marry you back then, I never would have.”
