He Married Me For Revenge, I Stay Calm

Chapter 3

"Elena Grey."

His voice had no warmth at all.

"The Moon Goddess may have chosen you as my mate. But I can't accept it."

I stood there, frozen. I thought I'd misheard him.

"I'm ,what?"

Ethan's expression didn't change.

"You're an Omega."

He said those two words like they tasted bad.

"The Grey family is ordinary pack members. No power, no connections, no standing. I'm going to be Alpha. I need a Luna who can stand at my side and fight , not someone who'll drag me down. An Omega can't give me that."

It felt like someone had slammed a fist into my chest.

"But , the Moon Goddess chose us."

"The Moon Goddess makes mistakes."

He cut me off.

"I'm already engaged to Victoria from Silvermoon Pack. She comes from a strong family. She's better than you in every way that matters."

Selene let out a howl of anguish inside me.

"No! He can't do this! We're fated mates!"

But Ethan clearly didn't care how much pain he was causing.

He stepped forward, looking down at me.

"Elena. I'm giving you a choice."

"Voluntarily apply to dissolve the mate bond and leave Crescent Pack. That way, at least you keep some dignity."

"Otherwise."

His eyes went cold.

"I'll reject you publicly at tomorrow's pack meeting. And you'll become a joke to the entire pack."

My eyes were burning. But I bit down hard and refused to let the tears fall.

"Why?" My voice came out rough, like it belonged to someone else. "Just because I'm an Omega? Just because my family isn't powerful enough?"

Ethan gave a short, sharp laugh. "That's reality, Elena. The weak don't get to be an Alpha's mate."

He turned to leave.

I reached out without thinking and grabbed the sleeve of his jacket.

"Ethan, at least tell me."

My hand was shaking.

"Did you feel it? The mate bond?" My voice broke. "Did your wolf , did he recognize me?"

Ethan went still.

He didn't turn around. But I could see the tension move through his back.

"My wolf?" His voice was laced with contempt.

"I've suppressed him. Because he wanted to claim an Omega as his mate, and that is a disgrace."

"Remember this, Elena."

He shook off my hand and walked away without looking back.

"An Omega's blood is dirty."
