I Rejected My Alpha Mate After Rebirth Chapter 10

Bonus Chapter: Landon’s POV 

Three months after Nora left, my transfer order came 

through. 

“The East Realm?” My father slammed the document onto the desk, his face dark with anger. “Have you completely lost your mind? You’re throwing away your entire future in the 

Central Realm for some backwater border territory?” 

I met his gaze calmly. “I have to go. Nora’s there.” 

My mother’s eyes immediately turned red. “Landon… Nora 

already…” 

“She’ll forgive me.” I cut her off before she could finish. My 

voice shook slightly, though I hadn’t realized it until the 

words left my mouth. “She’s always had a soft heart.” 

Father let out a heavy sigh. “And what exactly do you think 

will happen when you get there? She gave up even the 

pup…” 

The words pierced straight through my chest like a dull 

blade. 

Yeah. 

She had given up our child. 

The pup that should’ve been born next spring. The one who 

would’ve called me Dad. 

I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my palms. “I’ll 

bring her home.” 

But after seeing me once, Nora refused to see me again. 

I waited downstairs outside her apartment building for days. 

Then one night, just like before, the rain came pouring down 

without warning. 

I kept hoping she would come outside. 

She never did. 

After the storm, I collapsed. 

And then I dreamed. 

A long, endless dream. 

In that dream, Layla died in the fire. 

Nora and I completed the mate mark. She became my mate. 

I saw our fiftieth anniversary. She stood in front of me wearing a newly tailored gown, nervously asking if I wanted to take a picture together. 

I didn’t even look up. 

“There’s no need,” I told her coldly. 

I saw her sitting alone in a wheelchair, staring silently at old photographs of me and Layla when we were young. Her eyes, once so bright and alive, looked dull now. Empty. Like glass covered in ash. 

Then I saw the rogue attack. 

I shoved Nora out of the way, and the blade pierced straight through my heart instead. 

But even as I lay dying, I still looked at her and said: 

“Nora… if only I’d saved someone else first that day.” 

“No! That’s not true!” I screamed inside the dream. 

But nobody could hear me. 

When I woke up, my mother sat beside the bed wiping tears 

from her face. 

“Landon,” she whispered brokenly, “let Nora go.” 

“She already repaid you enough for saving her life. She lost 

your pup. She gave blood for Layla. She destroyed her leg. 

Isn’t that enough?” 

Pup… 

The child from the dream. 

My vision blackened. 

Before the fire, Nora and I had spent one night together. 

She’d brought me hangover soup that night. I was drunk out 

of my mind and trapped in heat. I grabbed her and refused 

to let go. 

The next morning, I promised I would mark her. 

But I never knew she was already carrying our pup. 

While I was busy worrying about Layla, Nora had lain alone 

on an operating table, giving up our child by herself. 

And after she miscarried… 

I still forced her to donate blood to Layla. 

A harsh laugh tore from my throat. 

“I’m a fucking monster.” 

I slapped myself hard enough to split the corner of my 

mouth. 

My mother cried out and grabbed my arm, but I couldn’t stop laughing. 

I laughed until tears streamed down my face. 

In both lifetimes, I failed her. 

In the last life, I tortured her with fifty years of cold 

indifference. 

In this life, I made her lose our child, her health, and in the 

end… even her memories. 

Yes. 

Her memories. 

My colleagues in the East Realm told me Nora remembered 

everyone except me. 

The healer said it was psychogenic amnesia. Her mind had erased me to protect itself from unbearable pain. 

I should have let her go. 

I knew that. 

But every time I tried, the memories from that other lifetime 

came back to haunt me in my dreams. 

The Nora from that world loved me until the day she died. 

And this Nora… 

She chose to punish me by forgetting I ever existed. 

Later, I heard Nora was preparing to seal the mate bond with 

Ethan. 

The moment I heard the news, I coughed up blood. 

My mother rushed me to the hospital. 

Late–stage lung cancer. 

I broke down laughing in the hospital room. 

What right did I still have to hold on? 

I wanted to see Nora in a wedding dress one last time. 

But my condition deteriorated too quickly. 

On my final day, I thought I saw her again. 

“Nora…” I whispered weakly. “In the next life… let me be the 

one who loves you first.”
