wants to have a ridiculous wedding with Alpha Joseph. She wants to have her wedding before she dies, and after she’s gone, she’ll return Alpha Joseph to me?”
So, I’m supposed to be generous and tolerate everything with someone who is dying?
I took a deep breath and said, “Alpha Joseph, I’ve thought about it. We’re not right for each other. Let’s break up.”

Chapter 4
It’s only now that I realize Alpha Joseph will always yield to the bond between mates. Even if Hallie dies in the future, she will always be an insurmountable obstacle between us.
We will never find happiness together. Rather than constantly having to watch out for a “dead
person” or his future second mate, it’s better to end things now.
“What did you say?” Alpha Joseph asked,
incredulous.
“I said, let’s break up. Whatever happens with you and Hallie is none of my concern.”
Alpha Joseph was stunned. After a moment, he quietly said, “Evelyn, don’t be so stubborn. I know you’re still upset about the wedding. Just give me some time; I’ll sort it out.”

I gave a bitter laugh. “So, what’s your solution? Will there be two brides at the wedding?”
“No, of course not. It’s just… Chris, my wolf, is drawn to my mate, making me instinctively

Liar!
Unlike the cowardly Alpha Joseph, his wolf could continue to live on even after losing a
mate.
Alpha Joseph reached out to hold my hand, but I pulled away. “Then reject her. Reject your relationship with her.”
Alpha Joseph looked at me coldly and said, “Evelyn, Hallie is just an Omega. She’s terminally ill and doesn’t have much time left. Rejecting her would push her to her death. Why are you forcing me to do this? My relationship
with Hallio is innocent. Do you

so cruel and hurt her like this?”
“I’m cruel? How innocent can you and she be?” I laughed bitterly. “You were in bed with her the night of the party, weren’t you? I sensed it. Do you think I’m a fool? You really disgust me.”
Without warning, Alpha Joseph raised his hand and slapped me hard across the face, pointing at me and scolding, “Evelyn, how dare you speak to your Alpha like that.”
The force of the slap stunned me. Growing up, my parents never even scolded me, and now…
what is he?
In my fury, I slapped him back, shouting, “Get your woman and get out of here. Right now!”
Alpha Joseph, probably shocked that I’d struck him, was enraged, his face turning a fierce shade as the veins on his forehead bulged.

The sound of something shattering in the break room startled me. I pushed Alpha Joseph aside and ran to find Hallie standing there, looking helpless. At her feet was the jewelry box containing my mother’s necklace.
A string in my mind seemed to snap. I stared at the culprit standing before me.
Hallie, frightened by my gaze, stepped back and said, “Evelyn, I didn’t mean to. I was just curious… I thought the jewelry box was so exquisite… then a spider jumped on my hand…
I…”
My sanity had burned away.
By the time I came to my senses, I was on top of Hallie, my hands around her throat.
Alpha Joseph grabbed my shoulders and
forcefully threw me away. I slammed against the

I whispered, “Alpha Joseph, help… our Andy… our baby…”

My vision was growing dim, and I could hear pack workers‘ voices nearby.
“Luna, are you okay? Hang in there, I’m calling an ambulance for you now.”
