Noah stared back at me, as though he could not comprehend what I had just told him. Scott’s gaze alternated between the two of us, his expression remaining neutral.
“Explain,” Noah said simply.
I glanced at Scott, looking for some support, but he subtly shook his head. Now was not the time for us to reveal our alliance, which meant that I was on my own, for the time being.
“Tell me, Noah,” I began, “do you think there is any need for our marriage to exist?”
Noah did not respond.
I sighed and tucked my hair behind my ear. I glanced away, gathering my courage, then turned my attention back to him.
I’m tired of this marriage. It’s all show and no substance.”
Noah gaped, momentarily at a loss for words.
“All show and no substance?” he asked, raising his hands at his side. “Are you jealous of Zoe?”
“Noah, this is not just about Zoe-”
“We both rejected each other,” Noah pressed on, as though I had not spoken. “Whether Zoe had come back or not, it would not have affected our marriage.”
“You aren’t listening to me,” I insisted. “Zoe is only a small part of the problem. Our marriage means nothing.”

“It means something to our people,” he argued. “They look to us as a pillar of strength. It also means something to the Alpha Council.”
“It doesn’t mean anything to me, not anymore.”
Noah looked as though I had struck him in the face.
“Where have you gotten these absurd ideas from?”
I opened my mouth and then snapped it firmly shut. I couldn’t tell him what had actually happened He would think I was insane.
I also would not tell him about my pregnancy, not yet. That would only make things more complicated, and he might try and force me to stay if he discovered that I was carrying his heir. He would not take my child from me.
“I’ve been thinking about it for some time,” I lied. “I just knew that you were keeping something from me, and that was the last straw.”
Noah arched his brow at me.
I
“What have I been keeping from you?” he asked.
“Don’t act like you don’t know.”

“I don’t know.”
I rolled my eyes. If he wasn’t going to admit it now, then there was no point in confronting him about it any further.
Noah shook his head.
“Whatever you think I have been keeping from you, I can’t and won’t let you divorce me.”
I crossed my arms over my chest and tilted my head at him.
“You won’t let me?”
“No, I won’t, nor can I with the complex interests of the Pack to consider.”
I knew that he would bring that up, but I was not going to allow him to guilt me out of my decision.
“That’s not my problem-
“Of course, it’s your problem. You’re the Nightcrest Pack’s Luna. You might not have all the same duties that I do, but you are just as responsible for the well-being of the Pack as I am.”
