Chapter

Selene’s POV 

The scroll was still warm when I took it into my hands, the wax seal of the Council glinting under the faint morning light

Miss Hartwell,Elder Lee said, bowing his head with deference, the mateseverance scroll has been delivered to Alpha Blake’s estate. The seal is intact. It’s ready.” 

I tightened my grip, feeling the stiff parchment bite into my trembling fingers

Thank you, Elder Lee,I murmured, forcing steadiness into my voice

That’ll be all.” 

He bowed once more and disappeared into the woods, leaving me standing alone on the threshold of the Blake manor the gilded cage that had trapped me for the past three years

The mark on my neck pulsed faintly under my scarf, the last echo of a bond that once telt sacred. Now it only felt heavy, suffocating

cruel

Inside me, my wolf stirred uneasily

Are 

you sure about this?” 

Too sure,I answered

Even if it breaks the pack laws?” 

The laws broke me first.” 

I didn’t have time to argue with my own soul

Not today

I stepped back inside the manor, my boots echoing hollowly against the polished stone floors. Every surface gleamed, immaculate and cold, untouched by warmth

Just as I reached the main hall, the front door swung open

His scent but me first- 

woodsmoke, leather, and that familiar spice of power

My body tensed involuntarily, instinct trying to betray me, to pull me toward what it thought was safe

But I stayed rooted to the spot

Julian Blake stood there, tall and commanding, filling the doorway with his presence. His silver eyes softened when they met mine

Selene,he said, his voice a blend of velvet and command. I’m sorry. The Alpha Summit in Black Hollow dragged on longer than expected. I didn’t mean to vanish on you.” 

He stepped closer

His hand, calloused and warm, reached out toward my stomach- 

toward the place where a heartbeat used to dance beneath my skin

How’s the pup been treating his mother?he asked

His voice was tender 

Almost enough to make me scream

flat

Julian,I said, my tone

He froze 

I never called him that

It was always Alphawhen I was angry, or old wolfwhen I teased him, or nothing at all when I wanted him most

He didn’t move

Good 

Before he could say anything else, I withdrew the scroll from my coat and flipped to the last page, covering the text with my palm.. 

I held it out to him 

You once promised that when our pup was born, you’d give me a gift,I said

I’ve decided what I want.‘ 

Sign this for me.” 

He frowned but didn’t question me

Didn’t even glance at the parchment

Without hesitation, he drew the ceremonial dagger from his belt, sliced a clean line across his palm, and pressed his bleeding hand to the scroll, sealing it by blood

Blood for blood

Bond for bond

My stomach twisted painfully

You’re not even going to read it?I whispered

For all you know, I could be naming myself Alpha and sending you into exile.” 

He laughed 

a soft, rueful sound

He cupped my cheek with his uninjured hand, the touch featherlight

Li you did,he said, it’d be wellearned

What’s mine is yours

thing to me.” 

You and the pupyou’re everything to me.” 

Everything 

The word tasted like ash

He lles so beautifully,my wolf growled, low and bitter

Let him,I replied, hollow inside. It’ll be the last time 

Before I could speak, his phone buzzed sharply between us

He grimaced, silencing it quickdy 

but not before I caught the name that flashed acros 

Claire Lancaster

My chest went tight

Breathless 

The same Claire who had returned to the territory just three months ago

The same Claire whose scent he had carried back with him after every supposed business trip

The same Claire he had left me for

Pack business,he muttered, slipping the phone into his pocket. I need to take this.” 

Then, casually, like it meant nothing

You called me a lot while I was away. Was it something important?” 

I stared at him

Seventyeight times

I had called him seventyeight times while I bled out on the side of the road

While our pup our pupslipped away inside me 

While the pain stole my breath and my strength and my soul

And he had turned off his phone

Because he didn’t want to miss a sunrise with her

I swallowed down the scream that wanted to tear its way out of me

No,I said, my voice steady, almost bored

It wasn’t important.” 

He gave me a nod, turned away, and disappeared into the study

Leaving me alone again

Alone in a house built for memories that were never mine to keep

I looked down at the scroll still clutched in my bloodstained fingers

The severance was complete.. 

The bond was broken

Inside me, my wolf whimpered once- 

then fell silent

You still have a choice,she whispered weakly

elt 

No,I said. I had a choice. And he made it for me.” 

I turned my gaze to the closed study door

Julian Blake, if you love her so muc 

Then may the Moon Goddess bless you both

Because you will never again feel my soul brushing yours 

Never again taste my scent in your lungs
