At night, the curtains in the bedroom were tightly shut, and the air was a bit suffocating. Hunter entered me ruthlessly over and over again until he finally came.

We lay in bed and didn’t speak for a while. Then he got up and went to the bathroom for a shower.

Feeling exhausted, I struggled to get up from the bed, and the sound of running water from the bathroom came to my ears.

Hunter Blackthorne, Alpha of the Blackthornes, was my mate, but lately it felt like he didn’t love me.

We had been together for three years. Whenever he came to me, he would have sex with me and take a shower after that. After the shower, he would leave with a cold face, avoiding any unnecessary conversations.

It was as if I was just a tool for him to satisfy his physical desires.

I got out of bed and reached for his discarded shirt on the floor.

My heart sank immediately.

There was a scent, unmistakable, one that didn't belong to me – the distinct scent of another wolf, a she-wolf.

After a moment of silence, I slowly sat back down by the bed, realizing that Hunter cheated on me.

More than ten minutes later, the sound of water gradually stopped.

Hunter came out of the bathroom, a white bath towel wrapped around his waist, making him extremely sexy.

His wet black hair kept sliding down, and beads of water dripped on his muscular chest.

With a natural grace and a stunningly handsome face, Hunter effortlessly caught all the she-wolves' attention.

I looked away and didn’t bother to ask him about the scent, knowing that I was not qualified to ask about it.

To my surprise, he didn't leave tonight as usual. I couldn't help but wonder why.

He glanced at me coldly and pointed to the morning-after pills beside the bed, uttering, "Take them."

I held the pills in my hand and swallowed them instantly.

I knew Hunter didn’t trust me. He had to see me take the pills with his own eyes every time we finished having sex.

Just when I thought that was it, he parted his lips, demanding in a voice as cold as ice, "I will reject you."

I was stunned, completely overwhelmed by his words.

It turned out that he stayed a bit longer not because he missed me but because he wanted to reject me.

Despite the bursting anger in my heart, I laughed.

What was this? His mistress couldn't wait any longer? Did she want to replace me and become his Luna so eagerly?

I knew that such a day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.

We had been together for three years, and I had tried my best to be his dutiful Luna.

Every day, I treated him with love and care, trying every way to make that cold man fall for me.

Three years had passed; however, my efforts were still in vain.

Hunter didn’t tell me why he wanted to reject me. Instead, he just notified me of his decision.
