His Rejection at Altar Choosing Over The Alpha Chapter 12 – The Letting Go and the Bloom
Spring arrived quietly.
No grand declarations, no dramatic rebirths. Just softer mornings, longer light, and the scent of new beginnings riding the breeze.
I stood at the edge of the new community garden, hands deep in soil, coaxing life from the earth with people who believed in second chances—just like I had.
It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t a spotlight.
It was real.
Callan passed behind me, brushing his hand lightly across my back. A quiet connection. A promise that didn’t need words.
We hadn’t rushed into anything. We didn’t call it fate. We were just two people, rebuilding—side by side.
Later, I took a walk alone, heading toward the forest trail just behind the village.
That’s when I saw him—Quinn.
He was standing beneath the same tree where he once asked me to wait for him. He wasn’t in Alpha gear. Just jeans, a plain shirt, and a tired smile.
“I heard about the project,” he said as I approached. “It’s… incredible.”
I nodded. “It matters. That’s enough.”
There was a long pause.
“I loved you,” he said finally. “Even when I didn’t know how to show it.”
“I know,” I replied. “And I loved you. Even when it hurt.”
He looked down, then met my gaze again. “Do you ever think about what could’ve been?”
“I used to,” I said honestly. “But not anymore.”
Because what could have been had stopped mattering the moment I chose what is.
He gave a small nod. No bitterness. No regret. Just a man accepting the ending he helped write.
“I hope you’re happy, Kaitlyn.”
“I already am.”
We didn’t hug. We didn’t cry.
We just turned, walked separate ways.
And I felt lighter with each step.
Later, at the village’s new spring festival, I stood among laughter and light. Kids ran past me with flowers in their hair. Someone played a guitar off-tune, and nobody cared.
Callan stood nearby, chatting with an elder, and when his eyes found mine, he smiled.
A simple, sure smile.
I smiled back.
And somewhere deep in my chest, where grief used to live, something bloomed.
Not fire.
Not pain.
But peace.
And this time—
It was mine.
