Alpha's Regret: False Mate, True Luna novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Ferris rushed back to her side almost instantly.

He’d take her to dinner, go shopping with her, even cancel crucial pack meetings because Ashley mentioned feeling “a little

down.”

Standing at the window, watching Ferris’s car head toward Ashley’s apartment yet again, I finally understood.

True love is true love. No matter how much I gave, it could never compete with a single glance from Ashley.

At least the three–year contract marriage was finally ending.

I told myself these three years had been nothing but a dream.

Now the dream was over. Time for me to leave.

“The agreement from three years ago?”

Ferris’s voice snapped me out of my memories. I stared at him in shock, my throat tightening.

He… didn’t remember the divorce agreement?

These three years, I’d been counting down every single day, terrified that the moment our contract expired, he’d leave without

hesitation.

Yet now, he seemed to have completely forgotten about it.

I opened my mouth to remind him when Ferris’s phone suddenly rang.

The moment he answered, Ashley’s tear–choked voice came through the speaker.

I couldn’t make out her words, but I watched Ferris’s expression shift dramatically.

‘Don’t be scared. I’m coming right now.”

He hung up, grabbed his car keys, and bolted for the door.

In his rush, his shoulder slammed hard into my body.

I stumbled backward, my spine hitting the doorframe with enough force to make me gasp in pain.

But Ferris never looked back. His figure had already vanished through the doorway.

I steadied myself against the wall and slowly made my way back to the bedroom. When I removed my jacket, a dark bruise was already blooming across my shoulder.

Chapter 3

I retrieved the first aid kit and silently applied ointment to the injury, feeling like my heart was being carved open with a dull blade, slice by agonizing slice.

I sat on the bed’s edge, staring blankly at the darkening sky outside until my phone rang.

Ferris.

“Come to Silver Pine General Medical Center.”

My heart lurched. “What happened?”

“Just get here.”

When I arrived, I spotted Ferris standing outside the operating room from across the corridor. Ashley was nestled against his chest, crying pitifully.

My steps faltered. Something clamped around my chest, making each breath a struggle.

“What’s going on?” I approached them, keeping my voice soft.

Ferris looked up at me. “Ashley’s mother has acute leukemia. She needs an immediate bone marrow transplant.”

I blinked in confusion. “And?”

“We’ve tested everyone in Silver Moon Pack, including myself. No matches.” Ferris’s tone remained flat. “You have a donation record on file at the medical center. You’re compatible.”

My pupils contracted as disbelief washed over me. “You want me to donate bone marrow?”

“It’s your responsibility as Luna.”

Ferris closed his eyes. When he opened them again, only cold determination remained. “Hold her down.”

At his command, several warriors stepped forward and gripped my shoulders. One pulled out a syringe.

“Ferris Vargan!” I struggled desperately. “I already donated years ago–I can’t donate again! This will kill me! Let me go!”

father and the entire Stardust pack will never forgive you!”

hesitated, their grip loosening as they looked to Ferris for guidance.
