My Alpha Mate Regretted it After I Died

Today marked exactly two weeks of cold war between my mate, the Alpha of the Red Moon pack, and me. He didn’t seem to be too bothered with our fight. I found out exactly why when I saw a young woman in our house, Violet Murphy.

He treated her like a treasure, completely indulged in every way. She radiated a healthy glow, like sunshine; heartwarming and beautiful. The complete opposite of the current me.

Ryan must have loved her so much that he let her crush the bracelet that my late brother gave me, murder the wolf that was my best friend, and dig out my brother’s remains.

Every time he acquiesced to her cruel actions, my heart died little by little. I decided that I should do him a favor and told him to break the mate bond between us. I would readily accept it.

I felt like I didn’t know him anymore. Was everything just a game for him now that he felt bored after he achieved everything? Even as I became his plaything… that thought crossed my mind as Ryan bit my lip.

Frustration etched in his tone, and in his eyes, were a myriad of emotions. He growled as his wolf threatened to take over. “When are you going to stop your little game, Scarlett?”

However, it wasn’t a game. It’s just a last wish, as I am currently dying…

***

I rushed home as soon as I could, still reeling in shock upon the diagnosis of my condition. I longed to seek Ryan’s comfort, because none in this world could calm me down the way my other half would.

“Ryan…” I let out a little sob as soon as I stepped into the house, my voice cracking a bit.

I was pregnant and I couldn’t be happier that we would finally have our own pup. However, that hope came crashing down when the doctor said that I only had a little less than a month to live.

My wolf's spirit was dying, and if she died, I would too.

At the thought of this, I decided that I wanted to spend my remaining days with him and ended our cold war. I just want to succumb to his warm embrace once again and forgive what he had done two weeks ago.

I didn’t find him as soon as I stepped into the house, so I went to our bedroom.

My body rooted to the ground as soon as I saw someone emerging from there. It was a woman, and she was wearing Ryan’s shirt, along with my trousers.

The same woman that had been the cause of our fight, Violet. She looked small and delicate, and Ryan’s oversized shirt showed her neckline. She didn’t look awkward, as if she had done this a lot of time.

My hand flew to cover my mouth. I couldn’t believe that Ryan had allowed someone else to live in the house that was reserved for the ruler of the pack, the Alpha and Luna only. Worse, he had let her in our bedroom.

I suddenly felt upset. Ryan had told me that he wouldn’t let any other female use his clothes, even if it was unused. He didn’t even let them touch his clothes.

Once, a female werewolf had returned a shirt that he had accidentally left after he returned from hunting. Upon arriving home, he ordered the shirt to be burned. Now, someone else has this privilege.

The vanilla scent that only female werewolves have, clung strongly to the shirt. It was evident that she had used it more than once.

He even let her use my things. Was he so eager to find my replacement as soon as possible even before I die?

“Scarlett?” She called out to me, cautiously. However, I didn’t miss the flash of malice in her eyes.

She bit her nails. Her voice shook slightly, “I see that you have come back. Sorry…”

I narrowed my eyes. The fight between me and Ryan started because he had kissed this woman. He claimed that he only intended to help her get out of tricky situations. Someone was claiming to be her mate when he apparently wasn’t.

Ryan had to pretend to be her mate so that the person would back off. After returning from our business trip, I decided to ignore him. After two weeks, surprisingly he still didn’t contact me.

As it turned out, there was someone accompanying him already. My eyes flashed with pain at the thought.

“Why are you wearing my trousers, and Ryan’ shirt…?”

Violet gasped. “It’s your trousers? I am sorry, I guess I wasn’t looking properly. I just underwent a cataract operation and my eyes are currently a bit blurry and it’s straining me to look for too long. So, I must have picked the wrong clothes from the pile of them.”

There was hesitation in her voice. “Ryan was worried that I could not take care of myself because of my eyesight, and he suggested that I live here temporarily. I hope that you don’t mind.”

“You can go change your clothes then.” I said in a stern voice.

Violet widened her eyes at my words, but then she entered the bedroom again. This time, I followed to make sure that she wouldn’t make any trick.

“Go to the bathroom in the next room.” I told her sternly. After all, I was still the Luna of the pack.

She looked indignant, but she still followed my instructions. Surely, this woman had a hidden intention.

I looked around after Violet left to change her clothes. Inadvertently, my eyes spotted some girl underwear on the bed. Those weren’t mine.

“Ryan, whose are those?” I asked Ryan with a flat tone as soon as I saw Ryan come out of the bathroom.

He froze.
