lphas Second Choice novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Everyone could tell I wasn’t joking.

They stared at me in disbelief.

Issac quickly reacted, grabbing the teacup on the table and throwing it at me.

I tilted my head to dodge, and the cup smashed against the wall with a loud crash.

“Freya! After all these years, how could you not know how much you mean to me? You’re breaking up with me over something like this?”

He coughed violently, shaking with anger.

I calmly watched Chloe and my brother, one offering water, the other patting his back.

Now that looked like a family.

“When you refused to let me join your squad for political gain, and when you spent money on Chloe

instead of helping me, you stopped being my boyfriend.”

My brother was speechless, tears streaming down his face.

I raised my hand to push Chloe aside, who was about to speak.

“Actually, you’ve always been better to your soldiers, haven’t you? When something happens to

them, you’re more concerned than if it happened to me. When they’re in trouble, you’re the first to

step in.”

“But I’m different. I was your girlfriend. You probably thought no matter how you treated me, I’d

never really leave. Right?”

Disappointment doesn’t come all at once. It just finally overflowed that night at the celebration.

“Freya, we’ve been in love for so many years…” Issac’s voice was hoarse.

My brother was also upset. “You can’t say things like that, it’s too hurtful. We’re your closest

family!”

Chloe joined in. “Freya, apologize now! What you said was too harsh. Alpha will be really upset.”

I looked at my tearful brother and the angry Issac.

“Actually, you guys aren’t as close to me as you pretend to be, are you?”

“You’re busy leading your warriors, building your career. I was in the hospital for three days after my injury, and you only came once, for ten minutes.”

“If you truly cared, would it have been like that?”

Chapter 5

Issac’s face turned pale, and even my brother stopped in his tracks.

Because I hit the nail on the head.

I turned to look at his comrades, who had come to support him.

“I remember that Beta’s sister was also helped by Issac to get a job.”

“He can help so many people–why can’t he help me just a little?”

“And you, Chloe. You and the others are the beneficiaries. If you’ve gained from this, don’t come around pretending to be sympathetic. It just makes me feel worse.”

Yes, why was it like this?

I knew it wasn’t that Isaac didn’t care at all. It was just that he gave me so little of what he had to

give.

And it was not that my brother didn’t care about me either. It was just that I was always last on his

list.

Too many people and too many things came before me.

He was so clever, knowing that even the smallest bit of kindness from him would make me fall for him, so he didn’t want to put in any more effort.

I finally ripped off the veil of illusion.

I stood up.

“Alpha Issac, the great warrior, and Patrick Kingsley, surely you don’t need a girlfriend or a sister like me who doesn’t know her place.”

“You give so little, so don’t ask for more. And don’t use emotions to trap me. If this gets out of hand,

it won’t look good on anyone.”

Issac seemed like he wanted to say something more, but in the end, he just let go, defeated.

My brother stepped forward to stop me, but after a glance at me, he froze in place.

I grabbed my bag and left.

A sense of relief washed over me.

After holding it in for so long, releasing it felt like the sun had finally risen.

I didn’t even have time to feel sentimental.

Medical fees, living expenses–they were like two massive mountains pressing down on my

shoulders.

Chapon 5

I started taking on as many training sessions as I could, working shifts during the day in the communications unit and teaching classes at a training center at night.

I only slept four or five hours a day, never daring to stop and rest.

If I just pushed a little more, if I just kept going, things would get better.

And during this time, the messages of payments coming through my phone brought a brief sigh of relief.

By the end of the year, half of the debt was paid off.

The Winter Moon Festival was approaching, a special holiday in the werewolf world.
