Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 3

She studied Hazel as Ethan introduced the both of them. In front of her stood an attractive and ravishingly beautiful she–wolf, and Bella couldn’t help but compare herself to her. Bella knew she was no match, physically or in status, and that she could never compete with Hazel. She was merely an ordinary gamma, not fit to become Luna. The only confidence she had stemmed from the mate bond she shared with Ethan.

Determined to secure Ethan as her mate and husband, Bella knew she had to get rid of Hazel. She needed the Luna position for herself Ethan kindly offered to take Hazel back to the hospital and asked her to wait for him to finish some business. This provided Bella with an opportunity to carry out her plan.

As she pondered how to remove Hazel from the picture, Bella realized the challenge she faced. Hazel was a reliable and beloved Luna; the pack spoke highly of her, making it almost impossible to win their acceptance, Frustration and self–hatred overwhelmed Bella, fueling her determination to find a way to claim Ethan as her own.

Instead of waiting for Ethan, Bella decided to follow Hazel as she headed for the stairs. Seizing the moment, she approached her, calling out to her in a cold and unfriendly tone. With no one else around, Bella dropped the act of being sick and fragile, revealing her true

self.

“Don’t be shameless, Hazel,” Bella retorted sharply. “His mate is back now; shouldn’t you leave? The only reason he hasn’t offered to divorce you is because he pities you. You should take the initiative to end things. I am his mate, not you. Stop hoarding what’s not yours,” she spat, her anger and jealousy evident in her words.

Hazel looked taken aback by Bella’s sudden change in demeanor.

any longer, I turned to face her, my head held high and my fists clenched in an attempt to appear brave and resolute. “I am still his lawful wife. You may be his mate, but not everyone gets married to their mates. You can remain his mistress. I didn’t hoard nor did I steal. I’ll remain Luna, doing what’s right for the pack,” I asserted firmly,

The smug smile she gave me before releasing herself to fall from the stairs flashed before my eyes, and suddenly it all became clear – she did it on purpose to make me seem evil and make Ethan hate me. At the hospital, I waited in the waiting room while Bella was taken to the emergency ward. She had badly bruised her calf, but she concealed a smile in my direction, mocking and taunting me. Enraged, I couldn’t hold back any longer and walked into her room. “You did it on purpose!
