Ditching My Cheating Alpha

I was jolted awake by the rumbling of an earthquake.

I was alone in the house. I felt an inexplicable pain coursing through my body. Yet the panic and the sharp cramps caused by the baby's movements left me no time to dwell on it.

Suddenly, Boweike burst through the door, scooped me into his arms, and raced down the stairs. But in that fleeting moment, my eyes caught the faint mark on his neck—a lover's kiss.

And just like that, I understood where all my anguish had been coming from.

The man who once cherished me like a treasure had betrayed me during my pregnancy.

As I watched his figure disappear into the distance, I dialed my mother's number.

"Mom, I want to sever the mate bond with Boweike."

The doctor smiled as he withdrew the examination equipment.

I turned my gaze to Boweike who had accompanied me to the prenatal checkup yet had been on the phone the entire time.

Resting a hand on my stomach, I tried to feel the movements of my child beneath my palm.

"Doctor, is it still possible to terminate the pregnancy?"

The doctor froze, visibly startled. After a moment's hesitation, he spoke cautiously, "Well… it's possible, but it won't be easy. The baby is very healthy, so I'd suggest you think it through carefully."

"Alright."

I didn't want to hear any more of his advice.

That day, when I saw the kiss mark on Boweike's neck, I knew. The pain I felt then wasn't imaginary, nor was it just panic caused by pregnancy.

Boweike had cheated on me.

Later, I carefully examined his scent, and it carried Mia's perfume.

Mia—his Beta.

Whether by design or coincidence, news of Boweike risking his life to save me during the earthquake had spread like wildfire throughout the pack. People praised him as a devoted husband and father, and his reputation soared.

Everyone admired him for being a family man.

At first, I truly believed he loved me.

But now, I knew his heart belonged to someone else.

I stood up and walked out of the doctor's office. When Boweike saw me approaching, he quickly hung up his phone and rushed to support me.

I glanced at his screen—Mia's name flashed on it.

Since I became pregnant, Boweike had accompanied me to every appointment without fail. No matter how busy he was, he always said, "Taking care of Pearl is my top priority."

I had been surrounded by his love.

But today, something felt different about him.

He looked at me apologetically. "Darling, there's an urgent matter at work. I need to step out for a bit. Can you finish the rest of the checkup on your own? I'll come back and pick you up later, okay?"

I swallowed the bitterness rising in my throat. "Okay."

I finished the tests alone and didn't wait for Boweike to return. Instead, I went home by myself.

It was already late when he finally came back.

He smiled sheepishly
