When James confirmed it, I lost my mind."She is going on a DATE?!" I slammed my fist on the table hard enough to crack the wood. The sound echoed through James's office but I did not care. Nothing mattered except the fact that my mate was going out with another man."Can you blame her?" James leaned back in his chair and studied me with something that looked like pity. "You have a baby with another woman. She is moving on.""She is not moving on. She is trying to hurt me." I paced the room like a caged animal. My wolf was going crazy inside me, howling for our mate, demanding we go claim what was ours."Or she is trying to find happiness. Let her go, Dylan." James's voice was calm and reasonable and it made me want to punch him."No. I cannot. I will not." The words came out as a growl. My wolf was too close to the surface no

"We need to talk. Woman to woman.""I have nothing to say to you." I started to close the door but she put her hand out to stop it."But I have things to say to you. About Dylan. About the baby. About us." Her voice was calm and reasonable like we were old friends catching up over tea instead of enemies fighting over the same man.Against my better judgment, I let her in. Luna would kill me if she knew

Dylan's POVThe separation papers arrived in a plain manila envelope. I stared at them for an hour before I could make myself open them. When I finally did, the words blurred together but the meaning was crystal clear. Nadia meant it. She was actually ending our bond.I sat on the floor of my empty apartment with the papers spread around me like evidence of my failure. This was real. My marriage was over. The woman I loved more than breathing had decided she was better off without me and I had no one to blame but myself.James found me there three hours later. He took one look at the papers and the empty whiskey bottle and shook his head. "You need to fight for her.""She does not want me to fight. She wants me to let her go." My voice sounded dead even to my own ears."Since when do you give up?""Since I destroyed the best thing that ever happened to me." I

Three days of the kids asking where Daddy was and why Mommy looked so sad all the time.I told them Daddy was working. Another lie. The lies were piling up so high I could barely see over them anymore.

I held them close and tried to be strong but inside I was crumbling into dust.Luna helped but even she could not fix this. She came over every day with food I could not eat and comfort I could not accept. "Give yourself time to grieve," she said while I stared at the wall. "Your marriage is over. That is worth grieving.""I thought we would make it. Even after everything, I thought we would find our way back to each other." My voice sounded weak and far away like
