Before our marking ceremony, Alpha Theodore Pierce let his childhood sweetheart, Eliana Vale, throw me into a walk-in freezer for a pre-wedding test. I have cold agglutinin disease. Prolonged exposure to cold can trigger acute hemolysis. The pack's chosen best man and maid of honor stood outside the freezer. They held up their phones and started a livestream. "If you want to be our Luna, kneel and beg Eliana." "Promise that once you accept the mate bond, you won't come between her and Alpha Theodore." Half an hour later, the freezer door finally opened. I was on my knees on the ice, my fingertips frozen blue-black. I no longer had the strength to lift my head. Jeering comments flooded the livestream. Theodore ignored my pain. Instead, he shrugged off his coat and draped it around Eliana. All because she had complained of the cold when the freezer door opened. "You know she has a soft heart. Is that why you put on this act, so she would pity you?" Theodore held the list of pre-wedding tests, never imagining I had read every item. Hiding my emergency medication, sabotaging the radiant heat at home, staging a rogue kidnapping, causing me to fall through the ice of a frozen river... Each time they completed one, he checked it off. The freezer challenge was number eleven. Eliana had invented it. The final test was scheduled for the day of the marking ceremony. Stage his death and test the Luna's loyalty. So that was it... Every time I woke in the medical wing after almost dying, it signaled the start of their next game. Theodore lifted my chin with the toe of his shoe. "Show up on time to the marking ceremony tomorrow, and I'll consider keeping tonight's video private." I stood, removed the pack Luna's crest, and dropped it at Eliana's feet. "I'm done playing." "From this moment on, I reject you as my mate. As far as you're concerned, I died in that freezer!"

After He Left Me to Freeze, I Rejected Him as My Mate Chapter 14
A year later, I returned to the hospital for a follow-up.The walk-in freezer was being dismantled.Its steel door had been removed and left beside the road.There were scratch marks all over it.They were the marks of my desperate struggle inside.Then someone called my name. "Lyra."Theodore stood at a distance beside the road.Over the past year, he had not looked for another mate.I heard he had started therapy and, to everyone's surprise, was working to help the poorest wolves in his pack.A gust of wind swept past.By reflex, he took a step toward me. He saw me take a step back, and he stopped. "Did your follow-up go well?""Everything was fine."He lowered his head. His voice came out rough. "Good."He pulled a key from his pocket.It was the key to the freezer from that day.After the trial, Theodore had taken it with him."I don't know what to do with this key."He watched me nervously."Throw it away."Theodore closed his hand around the key. "Five minutes after you went in,

As the investigations concluded, Eliana and Theodore found themselves face-to-face at trial.Eliana still had not given up."You don't actually think that handing over evidence will make Lyra love you again, do you?""No.""Then why help her?""Because I wronged her."Eliana gave a mocking laugh. "You never used to see it that way. You thought she would never leave you. You said she'd die before she ever left you."Theodore slapped her.Eliana clutched her cheek and snapped, "What gives you the right to hit me? You planned the game. You hid the key. When she was on her knees begging me, nobody was more excited than you. Theodore, you and I are exactly the same."He could not argue.Because every word of it was true.They had enabled each other and kept raising the stakes.One wanted to test whether I would ever leave.The other wanted to test which of them mattered more.In the end, they both got their answers.Eliana was held primarily responsible for the intentional harm, the unlawfu

The negotiations failed.I rejected both families' private settlement offers and insisted on taking the case to court.The police continued investigating the criminal side of the case.Mr. Hale formally filed the civil suit.The people who had mocked and jeered at me deleted their videos and distanced themselves.The standing Theodore valued above all else collapsed overnight.A week later, he came to my room at the rehabilitation center carrying a cardboard box.Inside were the things I had left in the home we were supposed to share.The emergency kit, the records from every hospitalization, the handwritten letter I had given him, and the tie I had chosen for him.A line of words was embroidered along the tie in fine stitching.Love is two hearts beating as one.At the very bottom lay an old medical record showing that after the fourth game, when I was pushed into the fountain, I had gone into cardiac arrest.Theodore's voice was painfully hoarse. "Was that when you started wanting to

Once the police investigation began, Eliana panicked.She blamed everything on Theodore.She claimed he had planned it all, including the freezer test.Hoping to save herself, she volunteered more evidence.One recording dated back to the planning of the seventh game.Theodore asked, "If she gets on her knees and begs you, will you feel sorry for her?"Eliana laughed out loud. "No. I want to see how low she'll sink for you."Theodore laughed too. "Then let's keep the game going a little longer."The criminal investigation continued.Meanwhile, the settlement conference Mr. Hale had arranged went ahead.Both sets of parents, the packmates who took part and spread the videos, and the attorneys for both sides attended.The large screen played footage from all twelve games, one after another.No one who had laughed in those videos could hold their head up in the room.Mr. Hale read each category of damages aloud.Medical costs.Rehabilitation costs.Damages for emotional distress.Damages
