Chapter 10

Author: Alisha
Alex looked at me with desperate eyes. "I know you're still angry, but I was wrong, Aria. I'll deal with Madison, and we can start over."

I stared at him and almost laughed out loud.

"Deal with her?" I said. "Or is Shadow Ridge already falling apart?"

His expression shifted, and I knew I'd hit the mark.

I hadn't paid attention to his mess in months, but people in the pack still sent me updates on the sly. Last week, a beta told me Madison had destroyed the territorial wards' maintenance.

    Alex opened his mouth, but no words came out.I leaned in close and dropped my voice to barely a whisper."But if you report her to the pack council right now, get her exiled... I'll think about coming back to you."Something shifted in his expression. The words seemed to ignite a desperate hope in him.He drew in a shaky breath and reached for his phone with trembling fingers.I watched him scroll through his contacts until he found the council's number.His Adam's apple bobbed as his thumb hovered over the screen.Then he hurled the phone across the room."I can't!"He grabbed my arm, and his grip tightened. "Aria, I'll give you anything you want, but not this! The council will banish her, and if she loses the pack's protection, she won't last a day out there. The rogues will rip her to shreds!"I looked at him without saying a word.Then I smiled.I knew it.I bent down and picked up his phone, brushing off the dust. "See that? You're still carrying two people in your heart. It's to

"Or is Shadow Ridge already falling apart?"His expression shifted, and I knew I'd hit the mark.I hadn't paid attention to his mess in months, but people in the pack still sent me updates on the sly. Last week, a beta told me Madison had destroyed the territorial wards' maintenance.Those wards were my life's work. I'd spent three years building that system from the ground up. I used my own bloodline ability to anchor the entire pack's territory. I burned our scent marks permanently into the boundaries. Any rogue wolf or rival pack that tried to cross would hit a wall of Alpha bloodline pressure strong enough to send them running.Madison had managed to collapse the whole thing in two months.She didn't understand the first thing about maintaining that kind of energy balance. I'd

    When I ended the video call, Alex was still frozen on his end. The ring box slipped from his hands and hit the floor. I watched his shocked expression and felt nothing.He would figure it out eventually. It wouldn't take long. Then he would move on with his life, as if I had never existed in the first place.He should have seen this coming the moment he chose Madison over me.I turned off my phone and put Alex out of my mind. I had more important things to deal with, and the Silver Moon Pack research project was waiting.Alex never contacted me again.He must have finally realized I was really gone.Alex never reached out again.I heard through other pack members that he and Madison were crazy about each other. Head over heels, completely inseparable.I scoffed. Whatever. Good for them.I had bigger things to focus on. I was busy changing the entire werewolf world.A month later, we did it. My team cracked the problem that had plagued every major pack for twenty years—bloodline verific

    The video connected, and I almost didn't recognize the person on screen.Alex looked like he hadn't slept in a week. His usually perfect hair stuck out in every direction, and dark circles hung under his eyes. His Alpha presence had vanished completely, and he looked like a stray wolf that had lost every fight.Alex spoke in a hoarse voice. "Aria. Stop this, okay?"I stared at the screen and said nothing.He continued talking, and a hint of desperation flickered in his eyes. "It's been a month. Let's work this out. Please."Please.The Alpha of Shadow Ridge Pack was saying "please" to me.I almost laughed.Alex rubbed his face. "I know I messed up. I shouldn't have left you alone when you were sick to go on that trip. I shouldn't have let you suffer through all those cold, silent nights by yourself."He paused and took a deep breath."But I didn't stop you from leaving because I didn't care. I thought... you needed to cool off. We both needed space."Space.What a nice word.He didn't

    I sneered at him. "Tonight's flight. I'm leaving.""The house key's in the mailbox. Don't contact me."I turned to walk out, but the office door swung open, and Madison stumbled in. She nearly fell into my arms.Her acting was terrible.She looked up at us with red-rimmed eyes. "I'm so sorry, Alpha! Aria! I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I was worried you two were fighting because of me."Madison grabbed Alex's hand and squeezed it. "Aria, please don't leave because of me! The Alpha loves you and he needs you!"She rushed to the desk and snatched up a blank piece of paper. "I'll sign a severance agreement right now! I'll leave the pack!"I almost laughed out loud.This woman really thought Alex was an idiot, but he couldn't see through her act.Alex grabbed the paper from Madison's hand, and his voice shook. "This isn't your fault. You're innocent."Madison's voice came out soft and sweet. "But what happens if Aria leaves?"Alex stared at me with cold eyes. "The pack won't fall apart becaus

    Alex's body went rigid.Madison's eyes lit up. For just a second, a smug smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. She wiped it away fast, but I caught it.Madison opened her mouth to speak. "Aria, don't you think you're being a little harsh? You two used to—"Alex cut her off. "Enough, Madison. Get out."Madison's words died in her throat. She put on a concerned face and told Alex not to get upset, saying they should talk things through calmly. Then she left, looking perfectly satisfied with herself.The second the door closed, Alex fixed me with an icy stare.He spoke with barely contained anger. "Aria, don't push your luck. I already agreed to complete the mate bond. What more do you want?"I met his eyes. "Take back what you said about breaking up. And this severance agreement? I'm not signing it. Tear it up right now and I'll pretend this never happened."I watched his confident expression and almost laughed out loud.The pathetic part was that I shared some of the blame for turnin
