Chapter 02
My mother seemed to sense the slight tremor in my voice and gently comforted me.
“It’s alright, I’ll send a private jet to pick you up. Silver Moon has many strong and handsome wolves. for you to choose from, Evelyn. Don’t waste your tears on someone who doesn’t deserve them.”
“Okay. I’ll meet you at the airport.”
Just as I hung up the phone, the bathroom door opened, and Vincent stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist.
“Who are you meeting at the airport?” he asked.
I paused, lowering my gaze slightly. “My mom.”
He hesitated, frowning.
“Is she coming for our engagement ceremony?”
He assumed I meant my adoptive mother.
For some reason, I was too tired to correct him.
Lucas looked at me seriously and said, “Honey, I know this might be hard to accept, but when we get engaged, many high–ranking wolf leaders will attend. It wouldn’t be appropriate for your parents to be there…”
My adoptive parents were omegas.. just like me. The lowest rank in the pack.
But to me, they were the best parents in the world. They gave me endless love despite having no blood ties.
“What about me?”
I looked into Lucas’s eyes, feeling a deep sense of hurt. “Am I just another lowly omega to you? Why did you say you loved me? Why did you propose to me?”
“That’s different. We’re mates.”
Lucas looked uncomfortable, even irritated. “Forget it. I knew you wouldn’t understand our upper–class world.”
After Husband’s Betrayal, I Become Alpha’s Heir
Eglanced at the date on my phone.. June 15th.
Fifteen days until I left for Silver Moon.
I couldn’t be bothered to argue with him anymore. “I’ll understand soon enough.”
“Hmm.” Lucas lay down on the bed, turning to his phone with a mysterious smile.
“You’re going to be Luna soon. You better start learning proper etiquette.”
I ignored him, turning away and closing my eyes.
After a while, I heard him set his phone down and felt him move closer, wrapping his arms around
- me.
The faint scent of another she–wolf lingered on him, making my stomach churn. I stiffened, struggling to suppress the urge to push him away.
“Babe, where’s your ring?”
Lucas touched my hand, realizing the engagement ring was missing.
I replied calmly, “I took it off while showering and forgot to put it back on.”
He mumbled disapprovingly, “Don’t forget it next time.”
In my heart, I silently told him..
Lucas, there won’t be a “next time.”
The night was quiet, and Lucas quickly fell asleep.
But every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was his hand–wearing the engagement ring–wrapped around Daisy’s waist.
Unable to sleep, I got up and picked up his phone. I opened his messages.
The first thing I saw made my blood run cold.
Alpha, were you satisfied with last night’s service?”
Attached were explicit photos.. far too revealing to be misunderstood.
Fremembered my reaction the first time I saw these messages.. how my hands shook and my mind

didn’t want to believe it. I couldn’t believe Lucas would betray me.
But as I scrolled through their conversations. page wage, line after lin.. My heart turned numb.
It had been going on for three years.
I came across one particular message that cut me the deepest
“I’ve been with her for five years. Honestly, I’m so bored of it.”
“She’s just an omega. She doesn’t deserve me. But since we’re mates, breaking up might drive her
crazy. Hahaha.”
“You’re the one I really love, my little bunny.”
Every word stabbed me like a knife, leaving my heart in shreds.
The next morning. I got up as usual to prepare breakfast.
My phone reminded me–it was our fifth anniversary.
We had planned to go to the beach, take wedding photos, and relive our first meeting.
But there were only fifteen days left until I left for good. I decided to end everything there–our five years, our broken dreams.
After breakfast, Lucas kissed me on the cheek, straightened his tie, and prepared to leave.
“I won’t be back tonight. I have a business meeting.”
I froze.
He had completely forgotten our anniversary and our plans.
Before I could respond, the doorbell rang.
A deliveryman stood there, holding a massive bouquet of roses.
“These are for you!”
Lucas stiffened. “Why did they send them here-”
Detraval I Become Alpha’s Heir
Je quickly corrected himself. “I mean, honey, I ordered these for you. Do you like them?”
Just then, his phone lit up on the table.
I glanced at the screen and saw a message from “Bunny Hugs.”
“Baby, when will my 999 roses arrive?”
Lucas snatched his phone, looking flustered.
“I have to go.
Before leaving, he plucked one rose from the bouquet.
I watched as he hurried out the door.
After a while, a message popped up on my cell phone, unsurprisingly.
Sure enough, Daisy had posted a new picture.. biting a rose petal.
The caption read:
“Who cares about 999 roses? All I want is your true heart.”
I smiled faintly.
I didn’t want his roses or his heart, anymore.
I stood up, picked up the bright red roses, and tossed them into the trash, along with the last remnants of my love for him.
