I walked along the halls, no longer caring if anyone saw me like this. My eyes stung from the tears that I’ve cried for the last few weeks. The worry for Rosalie grew stronger as the connection between us grew weaker. I walked into our room, once again getting choked up at the sight of her clothes. Slowly, I walked over to the nightstand on her side of the bed. I gently grabbed the picture and smiled at it. It was of us when we first started dating, goddess, she was breathtaking. Still is.
For days I’ve wondered if she was still alive, but after last night I knew she was. Of course she was with Alpha Dim- itri, the bastard.
The one night my beta goes out with his mate and he ends up seeing my mate with another man. I shook my head, I couldn’t blame either one of them though. I cheated on her, I crushed her heart like it was nothing. I even turned her own pack against her, the same pack that loathed me right now.
“Brother.”
I snapped my head up to see my sister, Amelia, walking into the room. I put the picture down and glared at her.
“Happy now? She’s gone. My mate, the one girl I truly loved, is gone. All because of you.” I spat.
She frowned at me, “I–I thought-
“You thought what?” I hissed.
“You know Grace is better for this pack and you. Not that whore. I mean, she’s probably banging Dimitri by now.” She sighed.
I narrowed my eyes at her, “Grace? The girl who screws anything with a dick? Yeah, no, I don’t want her. Never will.”
“This pack needs a Luna.”
“IT HAD ONE BEFORE YOU FORCED ME TO HURT HER!” I yelled, hot tears burning my eyes. “I lost her.”
I fell back onto the bed and cried for the hundredth time. I ignored my sister as she stood there, probably bored with my sobs.
“Cyrus-
“Don’t. Listen to me, I hate you. You threatened to kill her if I didn’t reject her, all because you couldn’t stand her. Boo hoo, she dated your fucking crush! How was she supposed to know?” I snarled. “I never ever want to be associat- ed with you. As of right now, you are no longer my sister. You make me want to vomit.”
I ignored the pain in her eyes as she registered my words. “And don’t you dare blame Rosalie for this. This is all your

fault. Not her’s. Try to be a little less selfish, you may actually get somewhere.”
“I—I just…I w–wanted our family to be happy.” She said softly, her voice cracking.
I scoffed at her, “Happy? Did you honestly think forcing me to get rid of my mate would make me…happy? Huh?”
She shook her head, “No.”
“Then why, Amelia? Why did you want me to break her heart and mine?”
She looked at me with the same pained eyes. “I can’t tell you.”
I shook my head, “Get out, stay away from me. I may not be able to ever win her back, because I know how much she’s hurting, but I’ll still protect her. If being with Dimitri will make her happy…so be it.”
“What about you?”
I sighed, “My wolf and I are disconnected from the damage the rejection had done. I’m useless now.”
“The pack needs an alpha.” She whispered.
“I know.”
“So, what are you going to do?”
I swallowed, “Giving my beta the alpha title.”
She was silent for a few moments, “If you kill yourself…Rosalie will have so much guilt. It will destroy her.”
“I’m not killing myself, I’m simply leaving. It’s about time I let her free. I’m going to travel, do something with my life. This place reminds me too much…reminds me of her.” My voice cracked at the end.
“Broth-
“It’s alpha to you.” I spat.
She gulped, “Alpha, please, don’t do this.”
“Damn it, Amelia! I’m not doing anything that will kill me! I’m moving on, I can’t dwell on the past. I need to break free, okay?” I snapped.
She didn’t say another word as she hugged me. I didn’t hug her back though, I refused to.
“I’m sorry. I wish I could fix this, but I can’t.” She whispered before leaving.
As the doors closed I released a breath. More tears streamed down my cheeks. I can’t do this anymore.
