My Mate Lost His Memory, I Chose Another Alpha

Everyone in the pack knew that my mate Damien loved me fiercely.

After our mating ceremony, Damien gave me three bonding gifts.

The first was a protective amulet he'd prayed three days and three nights for at the Moon Goddess shrine.

The second was a sculpture he spent months carving with his own hands.

The third was a diamond ring — the symbol of the Luna — priceless, and with it came the authority to govern the pack.

On my birthday, he went searching for a moonstone and was ambushed by rogue wolves. He fell off a cliff.

When he woke, his memory was gone. A bar hostess had rescued him.

They fell in love. But the day before their mating ceremony, his memories returned, and he came back to me without hesitation.

Just when I thought he'd ended things with her, on the very day I found out I was pregnant, I received a video — an intimate recording of the two of them together.

Vivian was already carrying his child, nestled against Damien like a helpless little bird.

"You're carrying my child. I won't abandon you. As for Elena — a few sweet words and she'll do whatever I say."

I turned off my phone and sent a mind-link to my father.

"Dad. The arranged mating you set up for me — I accept."

【Can you see it? He's bored of you. I'm the one he really loves. If you have any dignity left, walk away and hand over the Luna title.】

【If it weren't for you, Damien would've had his mating ceremony with me by now. Bitch! You're the one who's stopping me from becoming Luna! Go die!】

I ignored Vivian's barrage of messages — petty little games weren't worth my attention — and sent a mind-link to my father, the Alpha of Northwind Pack.

"Dad. The arranged mating — I'm in."

There was a beat of stunned silence before he answered, barely containing his excitement. "Are you sure? That Alpha was injured in battle. He has... complications. I'm worried—"

"I've made up my mind. But I have two conditions."

"Name them. Whatever you need, it's done."

"I want my citizenship restored to our pack. And every partnership, every project you've funded for Damien's pack — pull it all."

Damien spent his days drinking and living it up while his pack thrived — largely because my father kept pouring money into it, worried about how I was being treated. Half the pack's assets came from my family. The moment my father cut that lifeline, the whole thing would crumble.

My father understood instantly. "Done. How dare he bully my daughter! That bastard's going to wish he was never born."

After the link ended, I gently touched my barely-showing belly, my resolve hardening.

This baby deserved better than him.

I went straight to the Pack Registry to file for separation from the pack and to prepare the mate bond dissolution papers.
