He Begged for My Love After He Wasted It

For ten years, I believed I was loved.

I was Eris Lavender, the Luna of the Silvercrest Pack, wife to Silas Cross, the Alpha everyone admired. In public, he was imposing and strict. But in private, he was careful, full of devotion.

I was wrong.

By chance, I overheard a conversation I was never meant to hear. With every word, my world cracked open, that my mother’s death wasn’t natural, my marriage was never a choice, and the man I gave everything to had never chosen me.

It was only a debt he repaid, a role he endured, while his heart had always belonged to Elara Stone, his first love.

Then fate twisted the knife deeper.

Elara was pregnant.

And Silas wanted me to raise her child as my own.

I clenched my hand over my stomach, hiding the truth that I was already carrying Silas’s child. And as I severed our bond, something inside me hardened.

He wanted to play house and pretend nothing was wrong.

So I walked away.

Not broken but awakened.

And this time, I wouldn’t be the one begging.

I would make him regret everything.
