No Jealousy Left, Alpha

"After I lost the baby, I gave up everything my mate, Alpha Rhydian, hated.I stopped using our bond to sense where he was.I could sleep soundly even when he didn't come back to our bedroom all night.I didn't even tell him when a rogue's silver blade sliced my arm during a border skirmish.The pack doctor told me to notify my family. I just answered calmly, "I don't have a family."The doctor recognized me. "You're the Luna. Alpha Rhydian is at headquarters. Should I inform him?"I shook my head gently. "No, don't."But half an hour later, Rhydian came anyway.His tall frame cast a shadow over me, his voice ice-cold. "You're hurt. Why didn't you call me through the mind link?"I lowered my eyes. "It's just a scratch. No need to bother the Alpha."A low growl rumbled in his chest. The air crackled with his fury.He was about to speak when a guard whispered outside the door, "The Alpha cares so much for Isla. She just pricked her finger on a rose thorn, and he gave her the pack's most precious moonlight herb."I saw his jaw clench. His gray-blue eyes shot to me, searching for the jealous rage I always used to show.I gave him nothing. Not even a blink. I just leaned back against the cheap hospital pillows and closed my eyes.But Rhydian's composure finally shattered."
