Alpha, I’m Leaving. You’ll Regret ThisChapter 1
I went to the pack station to report my husband was missing, "My husband Drake Thornhill… he’s missing! Please help me. It's been five days." My voice shook, and my blind eyes felt like they were betraying me, not seeing what everyone else could.
The officer gave me a weird look, "Ma’am… you said your husband is Drake Thornhill? What’s your name again?"
"My name is Chloe Thornhill." My fingers twisted the hem of my hoodie. "Is there any… news about him?"
He frowned and slammed a hand on the desk. "Chloe? Ma’am, you need to tell us your real name. This isn’t a game!"
I froze. “I am Luna Chloe Thornhill.”
"Little blind girl, don’t think just because you look like someone you can fool anyone!"
My stomach dropped, and I felt my chest tighten. The officer turned to an LED screen, I heard the reporter's voice and my heart literally stopped.
"Everyone in the city knows that to celebrate Luna Chloe's pregnancy, Alpha Drake Thornhill gifted her a retreat in the mountains, a pack ceremony worth millions. Her social posts are everywhere, nine grids a day, and the wolves can’t stop talking about her."
And then there he was, my Drake, on the screen saying: "This New Year, I just want my mate safe, happy, and strong."
Her voice—Chiara’s—laughed behind him, sweet and soft, and it hit me like ice water straight to my veins. My face went pale, my stomach dropped. Chiara. Not me.
Five years ago, I lost my sight in a pack accident, and he was shattered. Everyone said no alpha would ever stay with a blind mate. Everyone whispered and plotted and… replaced me.
They found her, this Chiara, a girl who looked like me. And they sent her to him.
I remember the night he found out. My Drake, red-eyed and shaking, ready to rip her apart with his own hands. "Get out! My heart belongs to Chloe and only Chloe! Anyone else disgusts me!"
He drove to the infirmary at night, held me close, let his hot tears fall on my shoulder. "Baby, we’ll get our bond tomorrow. You’ll be mine, officially, my mate, my mate for life."
Everyone knew he loved me. Hated Chiara. But now she was the one smiling at him, wearing my face, claiming my place.
What happened? Did he… forget me? Was I just… erased?
I tried to find him, to scream at him with my own two hands, to shake some truth into him. And then… a billboard fell out of nowhere.
