Chapter: 73Left alone under the towering stone arches, Ronan stares at the carved wooden doors. His chest feels tight, as if an iron band is slowly crushing his lungs.For an entire year, he thought he could survive the silence. He thought the bond-severing would cure the madness. But seeing her today—healthy, beautiful, her dark hair glowing under the sun, her skin flushed with life instead of the pale gray of death—makes his wolf claw at his ribs, screaming to tear the world apart just to hold her once more.When Ronan finally steps back into the grand dining hall, the room is filled with quiet laughter.Sommy sits between Adanna and Matriarch Esi, her soft voice carrying over the gentle clinking of crystal and silver. But the moment Ronan takes his seat at the far end of the long mahogany table, the room falls dead silent."Must you sit there?" Adanna mutters, rolling her eyes."It is my seat," Ronan says emotionlessly, his eyes fixed entirely on Sommy.I keep my gaze locked onto my plate, fo

Chapter: 72"I am not asking for your permission, Ronan," I say, keeping my voice smooth as ice as I set my crystal glass on the polished mahogany table with a quiet thud. "I am telling you."Matriarch Esi Wolfhart and my brother, Tarian Blackthorn, sit across from us, their expressions frozen.Ronan Wolfhart's dark, golden Lycan eyes narrow into dangerous slits. "Is that so?" His low, rumbling voice vibrates through the floorboards like distant thunder. He doesn't glance at the crucial pack alliance documents he rushed back to retrieve, tossing them onto the table as if they mean nothing."Come now, Sommy, eat your sweet-berries," Matriarch Esi says, breaking the suffocating tension by sliding a small bowl toward me. Her sharp eyes dart to her grandson, shooting him a warning glare. "These were brought straight from the Frostfang Hollow border this morning.""Thank you, High Alpha Elder," I say, forcing a soft smile as I take the bowl.Across from me, Tarian leans back in his velvet chair, his j

Chapter: 71"Kellan, I'm fine. Let's leave," I say calmly, turning away from my ex-mate.Kellan shoots his cousin a look of absolute disgust. "A word of advice, Supreme Alpha. Don't make a complete fool of yourself in front of the entire council."Without waiting for a response, Kellan takes my hand and leads me down the terrace stairs.Ronan doesn't move. He stands under the pale moonlight, his fists clenched so tight his claws draw blood from his palms.A fool? he thinks bitterly. We will see who has the last laugh, cousin.The ride back to the Blackthorn Estate is quiet. I stare out the carriage window at the glowing neon runes of the city's market district, my thoughts far away."Relax, Sommy," Kellan says softly, breaking the silence. "You're going to cross paths with him again. It's inevitable while you're in Moonscar City, especially when you go to see Matriarch Esi.""I know, Kellan," I reply, my voice steady. "You don't have to worry about me. I know how to handle Ronan now."Kellan purs

Chapter: 70I knit my brows, my chest tightening with frustration. "I don't know.""Ronan, why do you need to know?" Kellan sneers, stepping slightly between us so his massive shoulder blocks Ronan's line of sight. "You don't plan on lying in wait like a rogue when she visits Matriarch Esi at the Wolfhart Moonkeep, do you?"He is laying Ronan's manipulative tactics bare right in front of me. I might have been a young, naive female once, but I am not that innocent little pup who fell for every dark, possessive word out of Ronan's mouth. Not anymore. Never again.I shoot Ronan a sharp, sidelong glance.He thinks he can still play mind games with me, but he is dead wrong."I will visit the Matriarch whenever my schedule allows," I say, setting my crystal glass down on the stone table with a sharp tap. "I don't need your permission or your interference, Supreme Alpha."Without waiting for his response, I wrap my fingers tightly around Kellan’s forearm and pull him away, striding toward the grand arch

Chapter: 69I slam the door of my quarters shut, my heart hammering against my ribs like a trapped wild beast. Pulling out my communication stone, I tap the glowing blue rune and connect to Kellan Stormfang.“Kellan, are you out of your mind? Why on earth did you agree to Tarian’s insane scheme?” My voice cracks, sharp with anger and panic.“Don’t yell at him, Sommy. I made the call,” Kellan replies, his smooth tone completely unfazed.I drop onto the edge of the carved wooden bed with a heavy sigh. “Thank you, Kellan. I know you’re trying to shield me, but you don’t have to sacrifice your own reputation for my sake. I can never repay what you’ve done for me.”“Have you ever considered repaying me with yourself?” Kellan asks, a quiet, dangerous humor laced in his voice.Speechless, I grip the stone tighter, my throat tight.Kellan lets out a low, dry chuckle across the link. “I’m just messing with your head. Will you attend the Grand Council Gala with me tonight? I already informed the Alpha High

Chapter: 68Ronan.What is the Supreme Alpha of the Wolfhart Bloodline doing at a public transit hub?I pull my fur collar up around my chin, my fingers trembling slightly beneath my leather gloves, though I force my posture to remain upright and proud.Ronan’s dark golden eyes lock onto me instantly.Even with the silk veil hiding my nose and mouth, his wolf knows my scent. The air between us grows instantly thin, charged with a dark, suffocating tension that makes every wolf in the square lower their heads to the cobbles.Tarian steps slightly in front of me, his hand resting on the hilt of his short-blade. “Don't be afraid, Sommy. He cannot touch you under international Healer immunity.”“I am not afraid,” I whisper back, though my heart is beating violently against my ribcage. “He is probably here to meet a high-ranking diplomat from the Royal Lycan Court.”Before I can take another step, a towering shadow falls across the stone floor.A heavy, rich scent of fresh cedarwood, dark leather, and
