After I left Alpha father and son went crazy with regret novel Chapter 9

Chapter

Chapter

Nora wanted to say it aloud: I don’t want to be this Luna anymore.” 

In truth, even without today’s humiliation, she had been ready to leave long ago

But what would be the point of saying it now? Arnold had never cared for her words, never listened to 

her explanations

To him, her voice had always been white noise, easily dismissed

Her burnt fingers betrayed her resolve, and the tray slipped from her trembling hands. The delicate cups shattered against the floor, the silver liquid pooling like spilled tears across the tiles

Arnold’s expression darkened as his gaze bore into her. Are you losing your temper with me?he demanded, his voice sharp with irritation

Before Nora could respond, Linda, ever the picture of composure, stepped forward with a saccharine 

smile

Now, now, dear,she cooed, placing a calming hand on Arnold’s arm. I’m sure she didn’t mean it. Don’t be angry… 

Nora’s lips curled into a pale, brittle smile, one that barely concealed the bitterness simmering beneath. Her voice was steady, each word deliberate and clear

No, I didn’t mean to lose my temper,she said, her tone devoid of warmth. I just don’t think you two deserve the tea I made.” 

Arnold’s glare sharpened, but before he could respond, Nora turned on her heel

Without waiting for the fallout, she walked to the elevator, ignoring the furious murmurs that followed her

Inside the restroom, Nora ran her burned fingers under the cold stream of water

The sting of the injury was nothing compared to the ache constricting her chest

She reached into her bag, pulled out a small tube of ointment, and began tending to her wounds with practiced efficiency

Once, her life had been filled with creative pursuits..studying diplomacy, sketching intricate designs for clothing

Chapter

She’d been far from a domestic expert. Thit marriage had demanded a different version of herself

To gain Arnold’s approval, and that of his family, she had transformed from a spirited teenager in dutiful wife, mastering every household chore

into

Her hands bore the scars of that transformation: needle pricks from embroidery, burns from cooking. Yet none of those minor injuries compared to the million tiny heartbreaks she had endured

Staring at the bandage now wrapped around her finger, a small tear escaped her eye. 

The childish bear print on the adhesive tugged at her memories

*What mother doesn’t carry firstaid supplies for her child?

Alex, her mischievous little coyote, was always full of energy and curiosity, forever scraping knees or bumping into trouble

She had spent countless nights bandaging his wounds, soothing his tears

And yet, he would only remember her as heavyhanded and unkind

Linda’s so much gentler,Alex would whimper, favoring the woman who offered comfort without 

substance

But Linda never cleaned his wounds properly, leading to infections that left Nora rushing him to the hospital in a panic

Arnold never saw that side of the story. He only saw Alex’s tears and blamed her for them. You’re careless,he’d snap, berating her for failing as a mother

*But none of that matters now, Nora thought, her heart hardening. I’m leaving them. Both of them.” 

With her wounds treated, Nora left the restroom, her steps firm. She reached the elevator and waited, staring at the closed doors

She was jolted aside when a group of staff members suddenly pushed past her

Move out of the way!one of them barked. Our future Luna is coming through!” 

Nora blinked, stunned by their abruptness, but she stepped aside as the employees gushed over the supposed Luna.” 

Did you hear?one of them said in an excited whisper. It’s rumored that Alpha is already engaged to her. She’s the only daughter of the Snow Moon Pack’s Alpha. So elegant, so beautiful..she’s perfect for 

him.” 

I saw her once,another chimed in. She really is gorgeous. Althoughdoesn’t she look a little like- 

The man’s voice trailed off as his gaze fell on Nora, his brow furrowing as he studied her face

Before he could voice his observation, the elevator doors opened with a soft chime

Linda stepped out, her beauty drawing every eye in the room

Surrounded by the adoring staff, she glided past, her expression radiant

Nora moved further aside, unwilling to draw attention. Yet one staff member, still unsatisfied, tugged at 

her sleeve

Stand back a little more! Don’t get too close to Ms. Linda..she’s an important VIP.” 

Linda noticed Nora then. Their eyes met, and for a fleeting moment, Linda’s confident mask faltered. She looked away quickly, her expression strained

Nora said nothing. She had no energy left for confrontations

As Linda disappeared down the corridor, one of the staff members sighed dreamily.. 

She’s like a fairy, isn’t she? It’s like the Moon Goddess herself blessed her. Don’t you think so?” 

Nora didn’t respond. Her silence only deepened the curiosity of the man who had studied her earlier

You know,he said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully, you look a bit like her. Are you related?” 

Nora stiffened but kept her expression neutral. If only you knew, she thought bitterly

Linda wasn’t just a passing shadow in Nora’s life. She was her sister by blood, the illegitimate daughter of Nora’s father, the Alpha of the Snow Moon Pack 

When Nora was a child, her father’s betrayal had shattered her world. He had abandoned her mother, publicly rejecting her in favor of his mistress, Linda’s mother

Nora’s oncehappy family had crumbled overnight, and her motherbroken and ostracized. Descended into madness

While Nora and her mother stru8450 to survive, Linda was raised as a princess, showered with affection and privilege to compensate for the stigma of her birth. Fate, it seemed, had always favored Linda

Nora had tried to rise above her jealousy, focusing on improving herself

But the cruel twist of fate that bound her to Arnoldher mate who had fallen for Linda at first sightwas too much to bear

Chapter

The man’s voice interrupted her thoughts. Hey, Nora, I just realized you’re actually really pretty too Maybe if you dressed up, you’d be just as dazzling as our new Luna. Are you feeling okay? You look pale.” 

Nora forced a smile, her heart heavy. She didn’t need his platitude 

I’ve seen 

seen this play out before,she thought grimly. My mother walked this path, but I won’t follow her fate. I’m leaving before it’s too late.”
