Chapter 2

작가: April
Louise strolled in like she owned the damn place—no makeup, just smug in that intern healer uniform.

"I'm Louise. Your personal healer now." Her gaze dropped like a challenge. "I only moved into your den for convenience—but leash your mate. If he bugs me again, I'm gone."

My chest tightened.

She was squatting in my den, and I was supposed to leash my mate?

"I want someone else," I rasped.

She didn't even blink. Just whipped out a syringe. "Time for your shot."

First stab—missed. Second—missed again. My hand puffed up like it'd been stung by a swarm. Third—finally hit blood.

"If you can't do it, get someone who can," I hissed. Pain made my voice shake.

Her eyes welled. "What's that supposed to mean? You think I'd be here if my grandma wasn't sick?"

She grabbed my hand again—needle scraped deep. Blood trickled down my skin.

That was it. I yanked away. "Enough. Don't touch me."

She stumbled back into the supply rack. Bottles flew.

Brian must've heard it—door burst open.

He didn't even look at me. His eyes locked on Louise, crumpled on the floor. His whole face shifted. Went straight to her.

"What happened?"

Her voice cracked. "If I'm not wanted, I'll leave."

Brian knelt beside her. "Who said you're not wanted?"

She pointed at me. "Your Luna shoved me. I told you I wasn't fully trained."

He glanced at my hand—bloody, swelling. Something flickered in his eyes. Then died.

"I apologize for Mary. What do you need to stay?"

Louise straightened. "Not your apology. I'm tired of nobles treating us like dirt. She needs to say sorry. To me."

Brian turned to me. "Mary... just say you're sorry."

I stared at him, stunned. "She did this to me, and I'm the one saying sorry?"

Brian frowned. "She didn't mean to hurt you. She tried. But you shoved her. Come on—it's just words. You're not losing anything."

Ice coiled in my gut. My brain flatlined.

Brian's eyes darkened. He wasn't bluffing. This was Alpha mode. No room for pushback.

I slid out of bed. Shame thick in my throat.

Faced Louise. Swallowed hard.

"I'm sorry."

She wasn't done. "Did no one teach you to speak up?"

My claws bit deep into my palms. I forced it out.

"I'm SORRY!"

Louise finally gave a smug little nod. Brian relaxed, like that was all it took, and walked her out to deal with her scratches.

Before leaving, he glanced back. Voice soft, like he was handing out wisdom.

"Mary, I spoiled you too long. Being Luna doesn't mean you get to push people around. Learn something from this."

Door clicked shut.

I dropped to the floor. Tears silent.

Pulled a letter from under my pillow—ninety-eight.

Lit a match. Watched it burn.

Brian at sixteen flashed in my head—rosy cheeks, that goofy, nervous grin under the campus flower trees.

"Mary Moonveil, will you be mine? I'll love you with my whole life."

And all I felt was fear. That I'd forget that boy—the one who meant it.

The flame died.

Then the door slammed open.

"What are you burning?" Brian growled.

    Brian's mind drifted—back to the beginning.The day he met Louise.She'd spilled a drink on his designer shirt.Back then, he thought it was cute. Smiled. Told her it was fine.That cost him everything.From that moment, he walked right into her trap—and never clawed his way out.Now, with the end creeping close, her fake innocence felt so obvious it burned.He snarled, "Get out of my sight, you shameless mutt."Her face vanished.And in her place—someone real.A she-wolf, glowing like moonlight, held out her hand. "Brian, come home."Mary.She smiled.He smiled back.Took her hand, held it tight, eyes wet."Mary, let's go home."The world went quiet.Mary stood among the ashes of his letters, collecting them. Her ring caught the light.'Thank you, Mary, for still forgiving me in my dreams. I'm sorry for being too selfish to say goodbye.'***Brian Stormclaw died.My father told me while I was placing roses in a vase.The bouquet slipped.I knelt to grab them—but

    His breathing turned ragged.I didn't flinch at the sound of his pain."Even when I cried out for you," I said, "you didn't care."That's why it never mattered to him—what I felt. Why he let Louise cling to him, mock me, cut me down—right in front of everyone."So now you know why I severed the bond," I said. "Brian, don't call again. I'm not your Luna. And you? You're not my fated mate."Panic cracked in his voice. "No—please, Mary. Just once. Let me see you. Please."In every memory, Brian was the Alpha—confident, cocky, always in control.Now? His words meant nothing.I hung up, drained.***Brian stared at the dead line, chest seizing like venom hit his veins. Numbness spread.He tried to move—but darkness swallowed him whole.Then, he dropped.The diagnosis hit days later.Neurological wolfsbane.Rare. No cure. Body crashing fast.Not even the best healer could fix it.Before Mary's final call, he still had hope. Still thought she might come back.Now?Just fade

    Since I got back, Dad locked down everything about me.Brian knew Dad had a new mate.What he didn't know?That mate cheated, ran off with another pack, and left scorched earth behind.That's why I came back—time to take over Dad's business.He knew he owed me. So he handed over a new house—twice the size of the estate Brian once tossed at me like some pity prize.By dawn, breakfast was on.As I hit the stairs, a servant leaned in."Brian Stormclaw put a bounty out for you..."I just laughed.Even tucked deep in another pack, the drama reached me.He dumped Louise like a cracked bone, then ran to the Registry—begging to revoke the bond severance.I knew he saw the certificate.Knew he fought Philip.Knew he was clawing through the kingdom, trying to track me down.And I felt... nothing.If he'd gotten it before I torched those ninety-nine love letters—maybe.But no.He only chased me when Louise got boring.If she hadn't?Would he still have come?And if not her—th

    Bang!Brian's fist smashed into the wall. Blood sprayed—hot red over sterile white.Mate bond: severed. Rejected.No.No way in hell.He had to find her. Get her back.The black Maybach ripped through the storm, blowing past red lights like they didn't exist.Before the car even stopped, he was out—running through the rain, straight to the estate.Their old place.The last shelter Mary had.Her parents no longer lived in this land. That's why he gave her the estate.He took the steps two at a time. Slammed the door open.No lights.No scent of her.Just shadow and dust.He froze.Then stepped inside, quiet.Click.The lights buzzed on, exposing everything—and nothing.The wedding photos? Gone.The little trinkets she loved? Vanished.Empty walls. Hollow space. Like no wolf had ever lived here."Mary?"His voice echoed, hollow.He headed upstairs. The bedroom was a ghost of what it was.Her clothes still hung in the closet, untouched.One blouse still had a lip

    Boom.Rain slammed down in sheets, drenching everything. A sleek black Maybach cut through the storm like it owned the road.Inside, Brian stared at his phone—call after call. Nothing.Mary wasn't picking up.He'd told the Mate Bond Registry to upload the Severance Pact but hold off on processing it. Today, he was supposed to show up with her and shut it all down.But the Registry said she never came.No messages. No replies.Before, he could brush off the silence. Not today. This was the deadline. She had to be there to cancel it.And she had no idea about the plan. Maybe she thought he still wanted to end things. Maybe that's why she was dodging him.Brian's eyes lit up.Yeah. That had to be it.Mary loved him too much to sever the bond.He'd fix it. Solo.Roll up, revoke the severance, surprise her."Faster," he snapped at the driver."Yes, Alpha."The Maybach screeched to a stop outside the Registry. He didn't wait for an umbrella—just stormed through the downpour.

    I turned and walked off, rain drenching me like it was meant to erase me.No clue how long I ran—just stopped when my feet hit that old house.The one where Brian and I grew up. Twin mansions, side by side. Tight-knit families.I stepped under the old tree.Yeah... this was it.We buried a time capsule here at eighteen. Swore we'd dig it up ten years later."Mary, by then, we'll definitely be married."Brian had grinned like a damn fool, shoving his letter into the metal box."I told my future self to never stop loving you."I hit the dirt, digging with my bare hands.Didn't even flinch when my skin split.The box fought back—old, corroded—but I tore it loose. Cracked it open.His handwriting hit me like a punch:[To Brian Stormclaw, age 28—][If you ever hurt Mary, I'll never forgive you.][Remember—she's worth more than your life.]The rain smeared the ink, but the words still burned.I pressed the letter to my chest and cried until my voice gave out.I missed that
