Alpha, Your Omega Is Done Waiting For You Chapter 2

?

“It’s always the same. She can’t live without me.”

Gamma nodded. “Of course. How could Charlotte ever bring herself to leave you? The whole pack knows she waited eight years to become your Luna.”

He wasn’t wrong about what everyone believed.

They all remembered that I had waited eight years. No one remembered that the waiting had never been one-sided.

Callum had been the first to take my hand, and every year, he had been the one asking me to keep believing in him.

But there would be no next time.

I gave a bitter smile and quickened my pace as I left Moon Goddess Square.

The next day, Callum brought Isabella to the pack infirmary.

My colleagues watched me with concern while I calmly handed my resignation to the head healer.

She stared at me in surprise.

“Charlotte, you’re the best healer we have. Why would you leave so suddenly?”

“Is this because the Alpha stood you up at the festival again?”

I pressed my lips together wearily.

Everyone seemed to think that every choice I made—whether I stayed or left—had to be about Callum.

As though I had no life of my own.

“This has nothing to do with him. I’ve simply decided to leave the Blackstone Pack.”

The head healer tried to change my mind. Once she realized I would not budge, she finally approved my resignation.

At last, I was free.

When I returned to my treatment room, Callum and Isabella were walking toward me.

There was barely a scratch on Isabella’s arm, yet Callum had personally escorted her to the infirmary.

He stopped in front of me and watched my face intently.

“Charlotte, what do you think of Isabella’s new cloak?”

I glanced at the woman beside him.

“It suits her.”

Callum’s expression darkened at once.

“You’ve changed, Charlotte.”

He was right.

Whenever he broke a promise because of Isabella, I used to ask when he would return. I used to ask whether he still remembered what he had promised me.

But in Callum’s version of events, those perfectly reasonable questions gradually became the jealousy and possessiveness of an overly sensitive Omega.

Eventually, I stopped asking.

Callum told Isabella to have her wound treated elsewhere, then followed me into the treatment room and shut the door behind him.

“It’s been one night, Charlotte. Aren’t you done throwing your tantrum yet?”

“I missed one proposal. Does that really justify all this? You didn’t even come home last night.”

“I told you, the elders are close to giving in. I’ll give you a proper ceremony as their Luna. Why can’t you trust me?”

I had been unwell for days and could keep down little more than liquids.

The Wolf-Soul Decay Syndrome had weakened my wolf spirit so badly that even standing for too long left me exhausted.

A sharp pain suddenly tore through my chest, and my knees nearly gave way beneath me.

The anger vanished from Callum’s face. He immediately stepped forward and reached for me.

“Charlotte, what’s wrong?”

I steadied myself against the desk and moved out of his reach.

“Don’t touch me.”

His hand froze in midair. Embarrassment flickered across his face at my rejection before quickly giving way to anger.

“Fine. Take some time to calm down.”

With that, he turned and walked out.

The door slammed behind him.

This time, I felt no pain at all.
