Bonded to the Wrong Alpha Chapter 08

I found out later that after Kyle came back that night, Serena had a violent reaction. She vomited, raged, screamed that I was the only one in his heart, that he didn’t care about her or the pup.

Kyle couldn’t control her and had her taken to another territory overnight,

These were things others mentioned in passing. I didn’t go looking for it.

During that time, I met Silas.

He was an Alpha from another pack. We met at a joint hunt, and his voice was steady, carrying a quiet kind of reassurance.

We grew familiar over time.

It was nothing like being with Kyle. With Kyle, I’d always had to soothe his ego.

With Silas, I didn’t have to think about any of that. I could just be myself. There were no debts between us.

One day, my father called, circling around the topic for a long time.

Until that afternoon, when I returned to my room and saw a figure standing by the door.

He looked more haggard than a year ago, and thinner too.

Even his well-tailored suit hiing loose on him. The moment Kyle saw me, his eyes went red.

Elara.’

His voice was hoarse andkracked.

I said nothing, leaning against the doorframe.

“I was wrong,” he choked out. “I was so wrong. I regret it. Elara, I’ve regretted it every single day for the

past year.”

I didn’t move.

He stood there like a stray wolf, his face a wreck of pain and remorse.

“This year, I’ve wanted to come see you so many times. But Serena was pregnant and always crying or throwing fits.”

“She spends recklessly. She has no standing in the pack. My parents despise her too. But what could I do? She s carrying my pup…”
