I Escaped My Mate

"I waited for Alex for over five years.I endured the whispers of the clan, the mocking gazes, the judgment from his family who never thought I was good enough. Still, I waited—because I loved him. I believed in him. I trusted that he would choose me in the end.But the truth shattered me.One evening, I saw his laptop left open. And on the screen—countless photos of Elsa. His childhood sweetheart. His first love.It felt like a knife twisting in my chest. While I was drowning in problems, silently begging for his support, he was smiling by her side. All those years I gave him... all that waiting… I got nothing.So I left.Broken. Exhausted. Done pretending I was okay.I traveled far from our pack, seeking solitude under the excuse of pack relocation. But the truth was, I was trying to stitch myself back together—one breath, one step, one bitter tear at a time.But now… he’s gone mad looking for me.Why, Alex?Why do you search for me now, after crushing me so completely?When I stood by you, you looked past me.Now that I’ve finally let go…Why do you care?"
