New life after My Alpha CheatedChapter 1
### Chapter 1
On the night of the Blood Moon, a night meant to celebrate our bond, I waited for my mate, Aldric, the alpha prince of the Silverclaw Pack. But he never came.
Instead, I found out where he was through a public post from Seraphine, a graceful omega with whom Aldric shared a long history. Her post went viral, showcasing their closeness at a luxurious pack gathering. She was pressed against him, laughing in a way that made my stomach twist. The caption under the image was a knife to my chest.
"Thank you, Aldric, for always making me feel like the only one that matters."
The comments that followed made it worse.
"Seraphine and Aldric should be the true mates. They fit perfectly. Who needs an omega like Selene when you have someone as regal as Seraphine?"
The words burned, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away. Seraphine had always been a presence in Aldric's life, part of his circle before I came along. The pack adored her, and many believed she should have been his true mate, not me. But we had been blessed by the Moon Goddess with the mate bond—at least, that's what I had thought.
As I read through the comments, a chill swept through me. I wasn’t just an outsider looking in—I was the one being pushed out.
I clutched my phone, my fingers trembling as I scrolled through the images. They looked like the perfect pair. She belonged by his side, in the eyes of the pack. And me? I was just Selene, the daughter of an omega family, lucky enough to have been blessed with the mate bond. Or so I thought.
……
*Ping.*
A message from Aldric flashed on my screen, making my heart sink even further.
"Selene, something’s come up. I’ll be late. Don’t wait for me."
It was sent hours ago, at exactly 3:15 PM. I stared at the text, feeling the walls closing in around me.
I was supposed to be his Luna, but tonight I felt anything but.
“Don’t wait for me…” He didn’t even remember it was our bonding night, did he?
Aldric was my mate for five years. We had been bonded since our final year in the academy, though we kept it hidden until after we graduated. When our bond was revealed, it shocked not only the academy but the entire Silverclaw Pack.
Why had our mate bond caused such a stir within the pack?
