Breaking the Bond After Alpha Chooses Her

"The full moon hangs high in the night sky at 1:00 am.My mate, Alpha Chris Dalton of the Southern Gray Wolf pack has just returned from a patrol around the border.It has been three days since he last slept. He still smells of blood and rust from the times he had fought against packs of Rogues.When we're about to rest, Chris hears Emily Gibson's cries coming from his mind-link."Alpha Chris, I think I smell a Rogue near my house. I'm so scared…"Chris shifts into a huge wolf and dashes out of our home without hesitation. He only returns the next day at dawnbreak, his exhaustion evident on his face."Emily suffered from a fright last night, so I had to keep her company the whole night."When Chris notices the way I sit on the edge of the bed quietly without moving in to kiss him as usual, he approaches me in exasperation. Then, he wraps an arm around my shoulders before nuzzling his head against my neck affectionately, as though he were a huge dog who had made a mistake."Emily is the mate of a Beta who has sacrificed himself for the pack, Selena. Not to mention, she's with pup at the moment. As the pack's Alpha, I'm obligated to take care of her. But I promise that I'll reduce the visitation times in the future, so please stop being unhappy with me, okay?"With red-rimmed eyes, I push Chris' arm away. "Alpha Chris, let's sever our mate bond.""
