I had given everything I had to this relationship.
This departure brought only exhaustion, no regret.
Garrett never showed up, even for the child’s burial.
Instead, I saw photos on social media of him and Scarlett trying on Luna ceremony dresses.
Scarlett smugly sent me a message.
“So what if you had his child? Garrett still chose me in the end.”
“Oh, by the way, did you think Garrett was taking care of you while you were unconscious? Actually, he was with me the whole time. We tried many new positions in the bed right next to yours.”
In the video, I lay pale and unconscious in my hospital bed.
While Garrett and a glowing Scarlett writhed together naked.
I didn’t reply. I silently forwarded all the messages and videos to the old Alpha.
Then I left the Luna ring Garrett had given me at the Blackwood house.
Holding my mother’s ashes, I whispered softly, “Mom, we’re going home.”
…
It wasn’t until nightfall that Garrett returned to the Blackwood estate, reeking of alcohol.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he was startled to see everyone dressed in black suits with white ribbons.
“Who died? Was it Aria’s mother?”
He looked panicked and confused.
“Why didn’t anyone tell me about something this important? Where’s Aria? She must be heartbroken. I need to go comfort her.”
The old Alpha, unable to bear it any longer, threw the unbinding agreement right at Garrett’s face.
“Aria has already left with her mother’s ashes.”
“Today was your son’s funeral!”
