I carefully sat down; the healer handed me all my medications, and I quietly drank them. Then she left me, and I was left alone again.

"Elysian," I jerked when I heard my mate's voice.

It was one of the things we could do after we bonded. We can talk through mind-link.

"What?"

"I might not be able to visit you tomorrow, but I will try the day after tomorrow. I am busy because there will be a meeting with the council. I will send some fruits to you tomorrow."

"Sure."

Then, our mind-link ended.

A week had passed, and my Alpha didn't even bother to visit me like he promised. I didn't even bother talking to him through our mind-link. And today, I will be discharged. After fixing my things, I waited for the healer's signature to discharge.

"Elysian," Alpha's voice echoed through my mind.

"What?"

"The healer notified me that you will be discharged today. However, I can't pick you up. Can you take a cab? I promise to see you at our home later."

"Okay."

After the approval of my discharge, I got out of the pack's infirmary. As I walked, I noticed a familiar figure. I saw Lewis standing; he was looking at his device. Is he here to pick me up? I wondered why he said he couldn't pick me up when he was here.

I decided to walk towards him, but I realised what was happening after a few steps. I covered my mouth, trying not to make a sound as I hid behind a bush.

I saw Andrea approaching Lewis, carrying her daughter in her arms. Lewis lifted his head, and his face automatically brightened when he saw them. I stepped back when I saw my Alpha kissing Andrea's cheek and then turned to Andrea's child, taking her into his arms.

My stomach churned as I watched them disappear, and I realised I had been nothing but a mere replacement that Alpha could toss once he got tired of it.

The memories I tried to forget flashed through my mind again. I touched my stomach, remembering what I had lost weeks after that woman returned. I lost the most important thing I ever had: my baby. And seeing my mate carrying someone else's child is killing me.

"Elysian? Where are you?" It was my mate again.

I wiped my tears, trying to hide the fact that I was hurt again, even though he couldn't see me.

"I'm on my way home."

"Okay, just checking on you. I will be home late, okay? So please don't wait for me. I am in an important meeting now. I gotta go, Elysian."

And this time, he broke my heart again.
