At 60, I found out my Alpha had cheated for 20 years Novel – On my sixtieth birthday, I received an unexpected gift. That was a diary, chronicling every little detail of my Alpha and his ex-mate’s two decades together. “Alpha Egbert, let’s end our mate bond. ” “You’re completely unreasonable! Alison and I dissolved our mate bond decades ago! We are just friends now. Do you have to react so strongly? We’re both so old. Getting a divorce will make entire pack laugh at us!” His face turned red. My daughter said, “You’re the Luna of the Red Moon Pack. Without that title, how will you live? The family still depends on you to take care of it.”
They didn’t care about me—they wanted a free babysitter. “Don’t worry about my life. Step aside, my life is mine to live.” — “Why are you sitting here staring like a devil in the hell?” As Alpha Egbert’s voice rang out, the room instantly lit up. The sudden light made me a little uncomfortable, and I subconsciously closed my eyes. Alpha Egbert strode closer, his tone laced with annoyance. “It’s your birthday, Celia. There’s a party in the pack house. The whole Red Moon pack is waiting for you. Why are you sitting here?” He didn’t even notice my discomfort—typical. I fumbled for my phone and opened the messages. Two texts from my daughter glared at me from the screen. “Mom, when are you coming? We’re waiting impatiently.”
“Forget it. If you’re busy, we’ll start without you.” My chest tightened as I stared at the timestamp. A mere five minutes between texts. “Celia?” Alpha Egbert’s voice dragged me back to reality. His brows knitted together in irritation. “What’s wrong with you?” I looked up, forcing myself to meet his eyes. I could vaguely see the handsome look of his youth. He was an Alpha of the Red Moon pack, successful and respected. But who would have thought that he was entangled with his ex-mate Omega Alison for twenty years behind my back! The most ridiculous thing is that in that diary, every page is filled with his thoughts and love for his ex-mate! How deep and touching their love was. Anyone who reads it will think, he’s really an infatuated mate! But I was trembling and wanted to run away from it all. However, I inadvertently saw the watch he was wearing on his wrist.
He had worn this watch for many years. The strap had been worn and the dial had been scratched, but he was unwilling to replace it. I always thought he was nostalgic, but today I realized that it’s because it was a gift from his ex-mate! He wasn’t nostalgic for the watch; he was nostalgic for the person! I clearly remember the scene when he wore this watch on a date with her. In his diary, he wrote: “On May 20, 1998, Alison gave me this watch, she said she hoped I could always think of her, she didn’t know that I think of her every moment.” Yes, they had a lasting relationship, spanning from the first shift at 18 years old to their gray hairs. The anger in my heart burned as if it was going to consume me.
My breathing became rapid and my heart ached unbearably. Oblivious to my emotions, Alpha Egbert said, “I have an important pack meeting tomorrow, so get that gray suit ready for me.” After he said that, he turned around and walked towards the study. He didn’t even see the diary on his desk. Obviously, his mind was not in this house at all. I sneered and said calmly, “In such a hurry to go to the study, is there someone you want to talk to on the phone? Like weak Omega’s for example,after all they are the only ones who can’t use the mind link and have to rely on the phone aren’t they?” He stumbled in his footsteps and glared back at me, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m trying to prepare the information for tomorrow’s The Red Moon Pack’s meeting.”
He came home from work every day and dove into his study, in the past I thought he was busy with The Red Moon Pack’s work and never bothered him. But now, I realized how stupid I was. There are records of their calls in the diary, spanning every month and year, never stopping. Looking at the dissatisfaction and boredom in his eyes, I couldn’t even cry. “Alpha Egbert, let’s get a divorce. Let’s end our bond. ” Egbert’s jaw clenched, his face flushed red—a mix of fury and embarrassment. “What did you just say? Divorce? Dissolve the mate bond? That’s ridiculous! We’re too old for that nonsense. Do you want the entire pack to laugh at us?” “so, Have you had enough of my jokes yet?” I picked up the diary on the table and threw it at him.
It hit his chest with a satisfying thud before a few loose pages fluttered to the ground. His eyes darkened as he picked it up. His brows furrowed, and his hand trembled, though he quickly masked it with anger. “Luna Celia, how *dare* you invade my privacy? After all these years, I can’t believe you would stoop so low!” To his accusation, I was expressionless, “Oh, Did I disturb your grand romance with Omega Alison? Should I apologize for stumbling upon your cheating?” Alpha Egbert snarled, “We’ve been mates for over thirty years, and you accuse me of betrayal? Do you have any idea what this does to our pack image?” “Oh, spare me the innocent theatrics,” I snapped, Freya growling low in agreement. He slammed the diary onto the table, his voice rising. “Alison and I dissolved our mate bond decades ago! There’s nothing inappropriate between us anymore. We’re just in touch occasionally. You’re blowing this out of proportion!” I laughed bitterly, shaking my head. “so, ‘I think of her every moment’? That’s just a casual check-in, is it?” Alpha Egbert’s tone softened.
“Celia, we’re old. What could Alison and I possibly do now? It’s you who think too much …… ” We have been married for over thirty years and have always respected each other. I think it’s only natural for the Alpha to be fighting for the Pack in front and the Luna to be an auxiliary in back. So I do my best to take care of the pack, the family. As a dutiful Luna, I held the pack together, kept the house running, and raised the pups without complaint. I should have been enjoying my family’s happiness. But I didn’t realize that my marriage was a lie. “I gave you everything,” I said quietly, my voice trembling. “When your parents criticized me for not being good enough, I strive to be the best I can be. When our pups needed stability, I worked tirelessly to provide it. I always stood by your side, Alpha Egbert. And all this time, I thought we had something real love. Even we’re not fate mate.” Freya whimpered, her sadness mingling with mine. “But it was all a lie, wasn’t it?
A marriage without love is nothing more than a stagnant pool of water. I won’t drown in it anymore. Alpha Egbert. I want a divorce.” “I, Luna Celia Payne, rejected you , Alpha Egbert Dennis, as my mate.” Alpha Egbert laughed—harsh and cold. “Nonsense! You don’t even know what you’re saying.” Without another word, he stormed out of the room. Just like that. The same way he’d walked out on me so many times before, leaving me alone to deal with everything. Even when I was sick and hospitalized, I wanted him to stay with me, but he left on the pretext of work. I collapsed into a chair and tears came to my eyes.
Sadness filled my heart as I looked at my wrinkled hands. In the diary by my feet, sixty-year-old Omega Alison was still beautiful and smiling. Her smile seems to be a mockery of me. Mocking me for being stupid to the core. When my mood calmed down a bit, I took out my cell phone to tell my daughter Grace that I was getting a divorce. Instead, I accidentally tapped into her Twitter feed. She had just posted an update with a picture of her, Alpha Egbert, and Omega Alison. Omega Alison was standing between them in a stylish dress and was all smiles. Next to them were my son-in-law and grandson. They all had happy smiles on their faces. For those who didn’t know, they thought they were a family. Tears blurred my eyes once again as I remembered her earlier messages. It turns out that my daughter, has known about Omega Alison’s existence for a long time. How ridiculous. How ironic. I had truly become the dumbest person alive.
Grace saw me and her face was ugly, “Mom, why are you so stubborn? Dad and Alison are just friends. They only go to the Wolf Pack Gatherings together. What’s there to be angry about?” “Exactly, Mom. It’s normal for people to have friends and socialize. You’re blowing this way out of proportion.” My son-in-law chimed in, “Besides, what are you going to do after the divorce? You’re the Luna of the Red Moon Pack. Without that title, how will you live? Grace and I are both busy with work. The family still relies on you to keep things running. You can’t expect to move in with us.” Grace snorted derisively. “Don’t even think about it. I’m not letting a divorced old woman live in my house. It’s unlucky.” Their words stung, but the intent behind them was clear.
They didn’t care about me—they wanted a free babysitter. A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I looked at them, my gaze turning icy. “Don’t worry about my life.” Their expressions brightened briefly, but I wasn’t finished. “I’m not your nanny,” I said coldly. “If you need someone to look after you, hire one.” Grace’s face darkened, her tone sharpening. “What’s that supposed to mean? My puppy is starting elementary school this year. Do you think just anyone can take care of him? You’re really this cruel to your own grandson?” “That’s your puppy, not mine,” I said, picking up my bag and slinging it over my shoulder. “Step aside. My life is mine to live—I’m off to yoga.” I ignored their displeasure and walked straight out.
