Crippled Luna's Farewell Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 

It was well past nine o’clock at night when Sarah returned to Silvermoon Pack 

The cottage stood in darkness, its windows unlit, and no one waited to greet her at the door. 

“Dear Sarah, Happy Birthday. Your birth was a gift to the world.” 

A message flashed on her phone–a simple birthday wish from a friend. 

It was warm but impersonal, a reminder of the absence that loomed heavier than the night. 

Standing alone in the shadowed villa, Sarah scrolled through her chat app. 

Message after message appeared–greetings from acquaintances, colleagues, and distant friends. 

Yet, the one name she longed to see remained silent. 

Seven days. 

It had been seven days since she last exchanged a message with her husband, Alpha Arnold. 

Seven days of unanswered texts and unreturned calls. 

And now, on her birthday, his silence cut even deeper. 

Sarah’s forced smile faltered in the dark. 

“Luna? What are you doing back here?” 

The sudden flicker of light startled her. 

The omega maid stood at the entrance, her eyes wide with surprise. 

“Where are Arnold and Alex?” Sarah asked, slipping off her shoes. 

The maid hesitated, her voice tinged with unease. “Alpha isn’t back yet, and the young master is…” 

She paused before continuing vaguely, “Writing something in his room.” 

Sarah handed the maid her bags and strode toward her son’s room.

She pushed open the door and found Alex, her ever active five year old, sitting at his desk. 

He was bent over a notebook, completely absorbed in his work 

Alex is five years old and has the physique and keen senses of an Alpha heir. 

His golden hair gleamed under the desk lamp, and a faint glow from the golden wolf’s head symbol on his neck–the mark of his lineage reminded Sarah of the legacy he carried. 

He sensed her presence instantly, his head tilting slightly toward the door. 

“Alex, I’m home…* 

Sarah smiled and stepped inside, but before she could finish her greeting, Alex turned away sharply, his eyes returning to the pages in front of him. 

He kept writing, completely ignoring her. 

Sarah’s heart sank as she approached. Resting a gentle hand on his shoulder, she glanced down at the notebook filled with scribbles and diagrams. 

“Do you want to go somewhere?” she asked softly. “I just finished my tour of the pack, so we can plan something fun together.” 

Alex didn’t look up. Instead, he snapped, “I don’t want you to come.” 

The sharpness in his voice cut deeper than she expected. 

“It’s Aunt Linda’s birthday in a week, and Dad and I are going on a trip with her,” he said matter–of–factly. 

Sarah blinked, taken aback. 

Alex pushed the notebook toward her, revealing detailed plans for the trip–rafting, soaking in the hot springs of Spectral Shadow Valley, and taking pictures of the Wolfsbane Sea of Flowers. 

Sarah’s chest tightened, but before she could speak, Alex added, “And that’s not all. Dad got Aunt Linda a gift too. I heard it’s a necklace made of moonlight gemstones.” 

Sarah froze. 

A necklace? 

Sarah froze, her hand brushing against her bare neck.

She hadn’t even received any gifts when she married Arnold. 

Sarah hesitated before asking, “Alex… do you remember Mom’s birthday?” 

“Hmm? What?” Alex responded impatiently. “Mom, don’t you have anything better to do? I’m busy making travel plans and don’t have time to talk about stuff that doesn’t matter.” 

Sarah dropped the hand that had been stroking his hair and fell silent. 

Her sharp eyes caught a painting inside Alex’s travel brochure. 

It depicted two adult wolves running with a cub in a rainforest under a full moon. 

The golden–furred wolves were unmistakably Arnold and Alex.. the symbols of the Alpha family. 

But the she–wolf beside them wasn’t Sarah, whose silvery–white coat was pristine. 

Instead, the she–wolf had a strand of red fur on her forehead. 

Those were Linda’s features. 

Sarah stood still for a moment before softly saying, “Actually, today…” 

Alex’s green eyes glinted with hostility. “How much longer are you going to stand there?” 

Her words stuck in her throat. Sarah paused, then quietly left the room. 

The maid approached and said, “Luna, I just called Alpha. He said he had something to do tonight 

and told you to get some rest.” 

“I know,” Sarah replied, her mind replaying Alex’s words. She walked over to the house’s payphone 

and dialed Arnold. 

She didn’t use her cell phone… she knew he would just ignore her call. 

The mental link between them remained silent. 

After several rings, Arnold’s impatient voice finally answered, “I already said I don’t have time for 

her. Tell her-” 

“Honey, who’s calling?” Linda’s syrupy voice interrupted. “Come stay with me, won’t you?” 

Sarah gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles turning pale. 

They hadn 

wow. finally back home, she totened no warmth from her lostand or sin 

Even but a phone call, Arnold hadn’t let her finish speaking. 

“Sarah, don’t be sad,” a gente voice echoed in her mind. 

It was het inner woll, Lena, trying to comfort her. 

“They’ve always been this way, Maybe… they just don’t know how to love you.” 

Sarah forced a bitter smile. 

After so many years of marriage, she thought she’d grown accustomed to Arnold’s coldness, detachment, and impatience. 

Yet, her heart still ached at their indifference. 

When they first married, Sarah had tried hard to be the perfect Luna. 

She’d sent frequent messages to Arnold, asking when he’d be home so she could prepare special 

meals. 

Arnold never replied. 

Eventually, he even severed their ability to sense each other’s location. 

Perhaps it was that she was feeling too tired. 

Sarah suddenly felt exhausted. She was powerless to make any more moves to keep her husband. 

The next morning, Sarah checked her phone. Arnold’s messages remained absent. 

Instead, her friends had texted:

“Hosaralible Luma sana, what’s your birthday wish this year?” 

“I’ve already bought a present. When are your visiting? I’ll treat you to dinner!” 

Seeing the words ‘birthday wish, Sarah felt another pang in her chest. 

She had rushed to complete six months‘ worth of work in four, hoping to spend her birthday with 

Alex and Arnold. 

That had been her only wish. 

Sarah hesitated but decided to call Arnold using her own phone. 

He didn’t pick up. 

After a long wait, Arnold finally mindlinked her: [Something wrong?] 

Sarah replied: [Are you free for dinner with me and Alex? Since today is my…] 

Before she could finish, his icy voice cut her off. [Yes. Let me know when you’ve finalized the 

location.] 

Sarah: […Okay.]
