Collection- After Ten – Year Contracted Luna Expires, the Alpha Is Overcome With Heartbreak Ch 14

Chapter 14 

Here’s something funny- 

I used to love oranges

Sweet, tangy, bright little things that smelled. like sunshine and made my wolf tail wag just a bit

But Alpha Godfrey

He hated them like a vampire hates garlic

Back when we first started datingback when I still had stars in my eyes and no clue how Alpha politics workedhe took me to one of those big werewolf gatherings. You know the kind. Long tables, too much meat, and someone always ends up breaking a wine glass when they get too excited during

omega stopped midbite, her ears twitching. Someone’s fork clattered to the floor like the Moon herself gasped

Godfrey hates citrus,” one of his Beta friends said with a laugh. Yolanda, didn’t you know that? Guess that means you’ve got to drink!” 

Everyone laughed

So, I laughed too

But inside, something in me cracked. Just a little. A quiet snap only my wolf could hear

I didn’t ask about it again until much later- on a night when he was tipsy

That’s when he told me

It wasn’t always like that,” he said, voice low

eyes unfocused. When I was little, my mom was always sick. Could barely keep food down. But she kept a bowl of oranges in the house. Said the smell helped her breathe. Said the color made winter feel warmer.” 

I remember how his voice cracked then

My last memory of hershe peeled an orange, kissed my cheek, and said, Stay home and wait for me. When you finish this plate, I’ll be back.”” 

He waited

Until the sun disappeared

Until snow covered the porch steps

Until someone ran through the village yelling, Godfrey! Your momshe jumped into the river!”

That was the last time he saw her

Last time he ate an orange

I held him that night as his grief leaked out like blood from an old wound

After that, I stopped eating oranges too

I even shoved my favorite citrusvanilla perfume to the back of the drawer, like scent could betray a memory

But now

Now I stood in the hallway, watching him gently hand a perfectly peeled orange to Jillian. Miss Long Legs and Lethal Smiles. Model. Exgirlfriend. Professional backfromthedead heartbreaker

He was leaning close. Should I call a nurse?” 

His voice was so soft. So intimate

Jillian batted her lashes. “I can walk myself, Godfrey. You two should talk.” 

And then he turned to me

Yolandawhere are you staying now? I-” 

BANG

A loud crash

Jillian, who had taken maybe three steps, collapsed again. Right on cue

I’m not saying she faked it

Okay, I am saying she faked it

Godfrey didn’t even finish his sentence

He rushed to her side

Oh no,” he murmured, brushing her hair back as if she were spun glass. Does it hurt?” 

His voice had changedtender, careful, full of that weird reverence guys only seem to save for their childhood crush or their favorite truck

Can you walk?he asked

She shook her head. So he scooped her up like it was some fairy tale

Jillian looped her arms around his neck, rested her head against him like she belonged there

And as they moved past me, her eyes found mine

She smiled

That smile

It said everything

I win

Same trick. Twice

Still worked

I felt sick

I randown the hallway, and into the nearest bathroom

I made it just in time to vomit

My wolf growled softly in the back of my mind, pacing like she wanted to sink her teeth into somethingor someone

By the time I pulled myself together, splashed my face, and checked to make sure I didn’t look like a shewolf who’d just lost her lunch and her dignity, my phone buzzed

Message from Alpha Godfrey

Yolanda, why were you at the hospital? Are you okay

Oh, now he asks

No mention of the wedding I crashed

No mention of the fact that his exjust practically into his arms

Just a lukewarm little text

I stared at it, numb

Then I laughed

Not the good kind. The bitter, quiet kind that tastes like the ashes of every dream you once thought was real

I blocked him

His number. His alt number. His private line. All of it

Because I finally got it

He might peel a thousand oranges

Might cry over the memory

Might hand one gently to someone he claims 

to love
