Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 7

“What exactly do you want?” Christopher probed, his voice laced with annoyance with Ethan’s

indecisiveness.

“Even if you found Hazel, what would you do?” he continued, urging Ethan to confront the implications

of his actions.

With a heavy sigh, Christopher gracefully exited the office, leaving Ethan alone with his thoughts. Just

as Christopher departed, Bella stormed into the room, narrowly avoiding a collision with him on the

way.

“I want to be alone,” Ethan declared, his voice laden with a sense of weariness and frustration.

“What?” Bella inquired, moving closer, her genuine concern evident. “What’s wrong? Did something

happen at work? You can tell me anything,” she insisted, circling around to where he sat. She reached

out to touch his shoulder, but Ethan abruptly shrugged her off. “Please leave,” he said, his patience

wearing thin, his voice tinged with exasperation. “But…” Bella began to protest, determined to

understand what was troubling him. “Now!” he yelled, his emotions finally breaking through the surface.

“You’re thinking about your ex, aren’t you? This is blatant disrespect, after what she did to me. Now

you’re even pushing me away!” Bella retorted, her frustration and anger spilling over, her deep–seated

resentment for Hazel resurfacing. Even though Hazel had

disappeared, her presence still lingered, haunting their relationship. Ethan’s inability to move on fueled

Bella’s irritation.

Ethan remained silent, caught in his inner turmoil, and unable to articulate his feelings. “You want to be

alone? Fine! I’ll leave your house. I’ll leave and never come back. Go find your precious Hazel. I’m

nob*dy anyway,” she said, turning to leave. She paused at the door. hoping and expecting Ethan to

chase after her, as he always did. She often guilt–tripped him and threatened to leave whenever he got

lost in thoughts of his ex–wife. However, today was different. Ethan remained seated quietly, his

decision firm and unwavering.

“Go to your room, Bella, and remain there,” he finally commanded, his tone resolute. With an annoyed

sigh, Bella slammed the door behind her, her brashness a reflection of her mounting frustration.

Inside the room, Ethan’s fists clenched in anger. Bella had become increasingly challenging. acting like

a brat, and testing his patience.

She would make threats like that whenever she didn’t have her way, but now he was too fatigued and

stressed to give in to her demands. The strain in their relationship was clear. and even members of his

pack had begun to voice their dissatisfaction, longing for his former wife and Luna, Hazel.

He sighed once again, burdened by the complexities of his life and relationships. He sat there for hours

shuffling through documents and folders concerning work and the pack. Amid his contemplation, a

knock echoed through the study.

“Come in,” he beckoned.

Martha, a longtime member of their household staff, entered with a polite greeting. “Good evening,

Alpha.”

“Martha,” Ethan acknowledged, reclining into his seat. His composure remained steady as he inquired,

“Is something wrong?”

“No, Alpha. Nothing is wrong, It’s just that I would like to resign,” Martha explained, her voice tinged

with sadness.

“You no longer want to work for me?” Ethan inquired calmly, knowing that Martha had been with

Hazel’s family long before she joined their household.

“It’s not that way, sir,” Martha replied, her head bowed respectfully. “I would love to retire and move to

the seaside.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Okay,” Ethan said, understanding her desire. “Is there anything I can do to make you change your

mind? I can offer you a raise or something.”

“No, sir. I would like to retire, to live with my family on the island.” Martha insisted, her resolve

unwavering.

“Very well,” Ethan agreed. “You’ll be missed, Martha. When do you intend to leave?”

“By the end of this month,” came her reply.

“Alright then,” Ethan acknowledged. “Thank you for your services. Please send for James on your way

out.”

Martha exited the study quietly, leaving Ethan to his thoughts. Moments later, James entered, waiting

respectfully.

“James, Martha will be retiring next month. Please make the necessary arrangements,” Ethan

instructed without raising his head, still shuffling through documents.

“Yes, sir,” James replied, but there was a moment of hesitation in his demeanor.

“Is there a problem?” Ethan inquired, sensing James‘ reluctance to speak.

“Well,” James began, “the maids were cleaning Ma’am Bella’s room, and they found this,” he said,

passing an envelope to Ethan. “I believe it’s addressed to you.”

Ethan looked up, his brows furrowing with curiosity. “What?” he asked, collecting the envelope and

tearing it open, wondering why Bella had left a letter.

As he read the contents, his face contorted with concern, and he rushed out of the room, his steps

echoing on the stairs as he dialed a number on his phone.

“What’s going on?” Christopher inquired, noticing Ethan’s agitated state.

“Bella’s gone,” Ethan replied, his voice filled with worry.

“Gone where?” Christopher asked, bewildered by the sudden turn of events.

“She’s gone. She said she’s leaving, that she isn’t good enough for me, and that I don’t want her,”

Ethan explained, exasperation and regret evident in his tone as he ran a hand through his hair.

“What?! Get your act together. First Hazel, now Bella. What exactly do you want?” Christopher asked in

annoyance, preparing to follow Ethan in his search.

As Ethan waited for Adam to bring the car around, he muttered to himself, “Pick up phone, Bella.”

He entered the car and began searching the streets for her, deeply regretting how he had treated his

mate. He had constantly pushed her away and ignored her. Christopher was right, he and Hazel were

divorced. But all he ever did was make Bella feel unwanted, at that moment he made up his mind. He

had put it off long enough, once he found Bella, they would get married.

His phone rang, and he answered it. It was Christopher on the other end.

“Come to Willow Hospital right now. Bella’s here she was hit by a car,” Christopher urgently informed

him.

Ethan froze at his words, the weight of guilt crashing over him. “What?!” he bellowed, as panic gripped

him.

“Calm down. Just drive over,” Christopher advised, urging Ethan to collect his thoughts and not do

anything rash.

Guilt gnawed at Ethan as he navigated the streets, fully aware of the consequences of his

actions.

Its all my fault, I pushed my mate away he thought sadly to himself
