On the night of the new moon, Elias, the pack’s Luna, was close to giving birth. Then Nolan, Alpha Dexter’s first love, showed up pregnant. Pretending to be in labor, Nolan begged Dexter to take him to the hospital. Dexter left Elias behind and gave an order before leaving: Elias was to stay home and wait for his return. Once Dexter was gone, Elias was hit with agonizing contractions. Fighting through the pain, Elias begged the servants to take him to the hospital. But none of them dared disobey Dexter’s order and help Elias. Instead, they tormented Elias to force him to wait for Dexter. Dexter’s older brother Braxton arrived just in time to save Elias’s life, but it was too late for the pup Elias carried. When Dexter learned the truth, regret consumed him. Nolan and every pack member who had helped hurt Elias paid for what they’d done. Elias forcibly severed his fated bond with Dexter and walked away.
