Sarah Williams – POV
“Miss.Williams, Mr. Edward would like to see you know.” I looked up from the piece of letter that I was holding in my hand and at the beautiful secretary who had a fake smile on her face. And I got up from my place and followed her. Once she reached a huge oak door, that had a golden nameplate on it, which read, Carmen Vanguard, CEO, she lightly knocked on it a few times before leaving me alone.
“Come in.” I heard a faint masculine voice, and I took a few deep breaths before I pushed open the door and entered the huge office to see Mr. Carmen sitting behind his desk with Rosemary on his lap, my hands curled into fists when I saw them together.
“Sarah, I heard that you are resigning from your job here and also planning to leave the pack,” Carmen said with a raised eyebrow, and I gave him a forced smile before I nodded my head.
“I guess, I deserve a change in my life, Mr. Vanguard,” I told him curtly, and Rosemary got up from his lap while he got up too, and adjusted his suit before walking towards me.
“I think you are taking a spontaneous decision, Sarah. I mean, I don’t think this is that serious of an issue for you to entirely leave the pack,” he asked me, and my wolf howled in agony, but I maintained my smile.

“Alpha Vanguard, you rejected me as your mate for a scu mbag like Rosemary. And don’t think that I am running away from this pack due to heartbreak. I just get a bit nauseated to see my mate parading around with a who re.” I told him, and his ears turned red, and he was gritting his teeth while Rosemary had a shocked look on her face, at the words I used for her.
Well, you’re welcome, Rose.
“Remember with whom you are speaking, Sarah. I am still your alpha, and in a way, I am still your mate because even though I rejected you, you still didn’t accept my rejection. Moreover, I can still accept you as my mate, if I want to since I am an Alpha.” he said in an angry tone, but I gave him a mocking smile.
“You don’t have to say the words to reject me, Alpha Vanguard, your actions spoke louder than your words. That day at the dinner party, when we both first met, and you ignored me to go and have sex with Rosemary, you introduced Rosemary as your fiancee to the Alpha from the visiting pack. And remember one thing, Alpha, I am not your booty call to come and play house with you if Rosemary happens to leave you in the future.” I sneered at him, and by now, his eye color which was once a pale orangish-yellow color has completely changed to black.
“So, let’s finish this once and for all. I, Sarah Williams of the Silver Moon pack, accept your rejection, Alpha Carmen Vanguard.” I spoke the words out, and simultaneously I felt like the thread that was connecting us, snap.
“Goodbye, and best of luck with your life, Alpha Vanguard,

with your future Luna,” I said and gave them a bow before I placed my resignation letter on the table that was placed next to the door and left the building.
Once I stepped foot onto the hustle and bustle of New York City, I looked up at the sky, to see that it was gloomy and the wind that blew past me was chilly, indicating that it is going to rain soon.
“We are going to start a new phase in our life, Jane.”
“Yes, and hopefully, we might come across our second chance mate.” my wolf chimed in, but I shook my head and walked towards my parked car. After loading all my things inside, I got inside the car and drove towards my home.
Our pack, the silver moon pack is located on the outskirts of new york city, where a huge expanse of land that is attached to the woods is taken as a residential area, and my house is located at the forefront. A cute two-story house that has four bedrooms. “Mom, I am home!” I announced when I entered, and I was immediately hit with the smell of home- cooked pasta.
“Sarah, dinner is ready!” mom yelled back, and I made my way to the kitchen and took a seat on the table, soon after that, mom placed a steaming plate full of her signature pasta.
“Mom, come and join me,” I asked her, and she nodded her head before she took a plate for herself and sat opposite me. After saying our prayers, we dug in.
“Darling, is there any problem that you want to share with me?” mom asked me out of the blue, and I looked at her and

gave her my biggest smile.
“No, mom, why would you think such a thing?” I asked her, and she shook her head before she placed her cutleries on the table.
“Darling, I am your mother. I know when you are genuinely happy, and when you are faking it.” I sighed and put down my
fork. “You can fool the world with this brilliant act of yours, Sarah. But you can never fool me.”
“Mom, I was intending to tell you this sooner, but I didn’t know how I should tell you.” I started, and she looked at me, expectantly waiting for me to continue. “I found my mate, and he turned out to be Alpha Vanguard’s eldest son, Carmen. It was like my biggest nightmare just came true.”
“But darling, you shouldn’t judge a person by his past. activities.”
“I know, and I tried to look past all the insults, the intentional pushes, the name-calling, and the torment that he put me through. I thought that he might change his ways for me, his mate. But apparently, I was wrong. He kept sleeping around, going out with different girls, and he didn’t once address me as his mate.”
“And today, I went to his office and gave him my resignation letter, and I accepted his rejection,” I told her, and a gasp left my mother’s mouth.
“Darling, why didn’t you tell me this earlier? What are you going to do now?”
“I decided to leave this pack, mom. I don’t think I will be
able to see my mate fooling around with other women anymore.” I told her, and the room was silent. I saw the hurt look on my mom’s face, and I know that she must be thinking about how her only daughter is also abandoning her as her husband did.
Dad left us when I was six. He was the head warrior of the Silver Moon pack, and everyone respected him. But one day he just vanished without any trace, but he did leave a letter for us on the border, saying that he has left with his beloved and that he was sorry to do this to us.
