Collection-Break Mate Bond with Alpha Before Marriage novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 

“Mom! Enough!” Alpha Anthony cut in sharply, his voice brimming with anger. 

Just then, my kindly neighbor forced her way through the crowd, raising her voice to declare, “Nicole has never clung to your son! It’s your son who’s been hounding her!” 

“In the days she was away, he’s been behaving like a madman, hanging around her door every single day,” she continued. 

“He kept pestering me about her, never mentioning they’d broken up! I have surveillance cameras at my door. If you don’t believe me, I can show you the footage,” she added. 

Her bold words finally made those who had

Faced with the truth, Alpha Anthony didn’t react with anger. Instead, he admitted with surprising calmness, “Yes, she never clung to me. I was always the one pursuing her.”

To my astonishment, several recent orders appeared, all for baby products, made via a shared family account.

The irony smacked me in the face as I stared at those absurd orders, reflecting on his

earlier desperate pleas. 

I swiftly went into the app to sever the family account link. I meticulously scanned my phone to ensure no ties with Alpha Anthony remained. 

As the weekend rolled around, my neighbor suggested a shopping trip, worried that too much time at home might make me overthink. 

At the mall, she waved her hand generously and asked, “What kind of milk tea do you want? Pick anything–my treat today!” 

We often shared treats and surprises, so I didn’t hesitate to accept her offer and let her order for me. 

While waiting for our drinks, I spotted a familiar silhouette. Squinting for a better

look, I realized it was a woman who looked strikingly like Luna Celia. But she was arm–in–arm with a man I didn’t recognize. 

Before I could confirm her identity, they disappeared into a hotel across the street. 

“What are you looking at?” my neighbor inquired. 

“Nothing” I replied, shaking my head.
