Chapter 4


    Ethan tightly held onto Be, his b*dy trembling with anger. He couldn’t believe Hazel would hurt


    someone, but he witnessed it firsthand when she tried to harm Be, his mate.


    “Ethan, I’m okay now. It’s just a small injury. When she pushed me, I instinctively protected myself to


    minimize the damage. I’m sorry, I’m just so weak,” Be said, her voice trailing off. “I shouldn’t have


    followed her, but something seemed familiar about her, so I confronted her, and that’s when she


    pushed me.”


    “What? Why would she be so angry at you? It doesn’t make sense for her to try to kill you,” Ethan


    inquired, trying to understand the situation.


    “Alpha, I want to tell you some things, but please don’t get mad,” Be said, looking at him intently.


    Ethan adjusted to meet her gaze, ready to listen to her exnation.


    “For over two years now, I’ve known you were my mate. I was nning toe and find you, but on


    the night of your birthday celebration, I was abducted. When I woke up, I was already being sold and


    taken far away,” Be revealed sadly.


    Ethan’s heart broke at the revtion, realizing that he had missed out on meeting his mate for such a


    long time.


    “When I was drugged, I heard a woman’s voice giving instructions to my kidnappers. She wanted me


    taken far away. And when I met Hazel, I felt she was familiar, so I confronted her. In her rage, she


    pushed me down the stairs. I was terrified, but I managed to protect myself,” Be lied, trying to make


    her story more convincing as she broke down sobbing.


    Ethan froze upon hearing her words, shocked that Hazel had tried to kill Be not once but twice. He


    now understood why Hazel had kept them apart, purposely preventing them from meeting as mates.


    He remembered Hazel’s obsession with him since their teenage years, always seeking his attention


    and constantly being around him. However, he never imagined she would such extreme lengths to get


    rid of his mate. She had convinced him to marry her, assuring


    go to


    him and very certain that his mate was dead.


    “Get some rest; I’ll be backter. I need to take care of something,” Ethan said in a constrained voice,


    filled with anger. Be nodded, hiding a small smile, knowing her n was working.


    Ethan believed Hazel intentionally kept them apart and married him, which fueled his decision to


    divorce her. Be felt pleased with herself, as she knew Ethan’s reaction was going as she had


    nned.


    While he walked away, he made a call to his Beta, Chris. “Arrange a marriage annulment, I’ll be


    divorcing the Luna.” He instructed.


    He hadn’t nned anything drastic, but the revtion of how she had kept them apart ticked him. The


    feeling of being a fool and manipted by her over took all other emotions he had for her.


    The documents were made ready in minutes and he drove offte that night to their gated mansion.


    HAZEL


    I was just settling into sleep when the doors swung open, and Ethan walked into our

    bedroom. “Sign this,” he instructed, flinging a blue document on the bed,


    Curious and puzzled, I picked up the file and read the bold words “Marriage Annulment.” “Ethan, what’s


    this?” I asked calmly, trying to keep my emotions in check. “You’re divorcing


    me? You…”


    “Be’s my mate, I’ll get married to her officially by next week. You have until then to sign that, the


    rejection will take ce tomorrow,” he replied in a restrained voice,


    My heart sank, and a knot formed in my stomach. This couldn’t be happening. “Do you love her?” I


    found myself asking, wanting to know the truth. “Did you ever love me? Or evene to like me?”


    “No, you were convenient, at least that’s what I thought till it came clear to me that it was all your plot,


    keeping Be away, staying around me while I was drunk and trying to kill her yesterday!” he retorted


    with anger in his voice.


    My eyes widened in disbelief and hurt. “What are you talking about?” I shot out of bed, running towards


    him. “I never pushed Be. She threw herself…”


    “Enough!” Ethan interrupted, furiously grabbing my arm and pinning me to the wall. His fingers


    tightened around my arm, digging into my skin. His b*dy was shaking with anger, and his gaze was


    filled with disdain. “You’re a mistake, getting married to you was a mistake. I fell for your plot. You


    purposely got me drunk that day and probably drugged me that night, right?”

    My head dropped slowly as tears filled my eyes, I was guilty of that. “I’ll only give you a little bit of honor


    because of the service of yourte father, for harming my mate, your Luna, You shouldn’t be allowed to


    live. I need you out of my home by tomorrow. Be will be moving in,” he said, releasing his grip on me


    as I fell weakly to the floor.


    It’s hopeless, he believes her, even if he didn’t, I didn’t have a ce here anymore, not in his heart. I’d


    hoped to win his love but that would never happen now.


    “Are you okay, ma’am?” James, the family butler, asked, helping me up. I took a pen and signed the


    papers. I ran after Ethan as he got into his car and called out, “Wait! I’ve signed it. I hope you’re happy


    together.”


    Ethan took the files, got into his car, and drove away. James stood beside me, offering silent.fort.


    I spent the night packing and organizing my things. I decided to give away most of them to the kind


    helpers.


    Morning came, and I hadn’t slept at all. James and Martha helped me with the final preparations.


    James said, “Finding your mate is a happy thing. He’s so in love. The Alpha never hated or disliked

    you. It just wasn’t meant to be. I hope you find your mate.”


    “It’s good you’re not pregnant; it would have made things messier.” He added Confused, I asked, “What


    do you mean? What would have happened if I was?” James exined, “The first child of the Alpha


    muste from his mate, not a rejected one. Having the Alpha’s first child outside of the mateship is


    up with the Alpha and his mate, though most likely as an illegitimate child by the pack, if the Luna


    epted the child. In most cases, though, the child was just aborted.


    James excused himself, leaving Martha and me alone. She held my hands, and concern filled her


    eyes.


    “Oh ma’am, you didn’t ask for your ginseng dosest month,” Martha said softly. “You


    usually have menstrual cramps and request those soups, but it’s been weeks now, and you haven’t


    asked for them. You also haven’t had your time of the month yet, have you?” she inquired, urging me to


    consider the possibility.


    The realization hit me like a ton of bricks. I had been preupied with everything that was happening,


    and it hadn’t even urred to me. Could I actually be pregnant? Counting back, along with the morning


    sickness and tiredness I had, it seemed possible. I looked at Martha in horror, and she seemed to


    understand.
