After I Left, the Powerful Alpha Gave Up Everything To Win Me Back Chapter 21
Three days after Cain was gone, a Northern craftsman found his way, by a roundabout road, to Thornwood.He carried a small box. Three months ago, he said, a noble guest had commissioned it from him, and now it was finished, delivered as agreed. But the one who'd commissioned it was nowhere to be found, and all he'd heard was that it had something to do with Iron Claw, so he'd brought it here.I opened the box.Inside was an acknowledgment token, carved from wolf bone. It was the gravest kind between wolves, made from your own wolf bone, carved with the name of the wolf you mean to acknowledge. It means handing over your whole life.On that wolf bone, a line was carved.To Cain, with all of me and my love. E.I went still.Three months ago. I hadn't yet left for the North, hadn't yet met Rowan. The me of those days, wounded all over by him, was still secretly, telling no one, loving him. I'd quietly had someone begin an acknowledgment token, thinking that if he ever turned back one day,

In the latter half of that night, Iron Claw and Thornwood, fighting together, drove the night kin back.But Cain had gone down in a pool of blood.The vampires' fangs and claws carried corpse-poison, deep and savage, tearing open his back and the root of his wolf. The healer knelt beside him and shook his head. A wound like this, even the strongest Alpha wouldn't last the night.I knelt at his side.I didn't know why I was crying. I'd said it myself: whatever feeling I had for him had died long ago.Cain forced his eyes open and found my face. Somehow, the corner of his mouth still pulled into the ghost of a smile.“Don't cry,” his breath was faint. “You're not… pretty when you cry.”Still stubborn. Even now.“Why did you take it,” I asked, my voice cracked. “This isn't your pack. And Rowan is a wolf you hate.”“He's the one you chose,” Cain said, as if that were the whole of the reason. “He loves you. Since you won't forgive me, all I can do is hope the rest of your life is free of wo

In the dark, something moved.Fast as a shadow. Soundless, scentless. There's only one thing in this world that can get this close past a wolf's keen nose.“Night kin!” Rowan roared. “Vampires, shield the Luna!”The grounds blew open in an instant.I'd never seen a vampire. They were worse than the legends: pale, swift, no body heat, fangs gleaming cold in the dying embers of the basins. They poured into the Moon Goddess grounds from every side like a black tide, picking the night when these two strongest packs were gathered and most at ease, deep in celebration.No one had expected it. Tonight should have been the safest night, two of the strongest packs in one field. But that was exactly what made it the fattest prey in the eyes of the night kin.The packs scrambled to fight back. Rowan shifted into a great wolf and threw himself in front of me, tearing apart the first vampire to lunge. But there were too many of them, too fast, like they couldn't be killed.I called up my wolf form

The day of the marking rite, the whole Thornwood pack was alive with it.I stood on the high platform of the Moon Goddess grounds in a snow-white rite-gown. Rowan stood at my side, so nervous his ears had gone red, sneaking his hand toward mine, and this time, I didn't push it away.The whole hall was smiling. This was a true celebration. No one had forced me, no one had tricked me. I had come here of my own will, step by step.The fire-basins were lit one by one. The elder was about to speak.Outside the gates came Iron Claw's banner-call.The laughter in the hall died down. Rowan tensed all at once and moved in front of me, the whole of Thornwood's wolves bristling.Cain walked into the Moon Goddess grounds alone, his Iron Claw elites all halted outside the field, not one stepping in.He came to the foot of the platform, stopped, and lifted his eyes to me.There was no more obsession in them, the kind I'd seen in the wind and snow. Only something sunk all the way to the bottom.“I wo

The last night before the marking rite, he finally came to find me.He didn't tear the wards, didn't force his way in. He stood outside Thornwood's gates and had a servant carry word that he wanted to see me once.I went. I wanted to see what else he could possibly have to say.He stood in the wind and snow. The torment of these past days had carved a weariness into his face I'd never seen before. He looked at me, and in those eyes flared a careful, almost humble light.“These past days, the things you did,” he said, his voice badly hoarse. “Being good to him in front of me, burning the things I gave you, giving them away…”I said nothing.“I saw all of it. Every single time, I had it coming,” he said. “But Elara, if you'd really let me go completely, you wouldn't need to do it where I could see.”He stepped forward, and on that always cold, proud face was a thing I'd never seen in my life, an earnestness that had cut itself open.“You're doing all this because you still have me in you

(Elara's POV)Since Cain wouldn't leave, I stopped avoiding him.Iron Claw and Thornwood were negotiating the terms of border trade. At a cross-pack occasion like that, Cain was there too.In the council hall, the wolves sat by separate tables. In front of the whole hall I poured Rowan's wine with my own hands, served his food, smoothed the collar that had come loose at his shoulder, every gesture intimate and easy, like the most devoted Luna there ever was, with her Alpha pinned to the center of her heart.A wolf from another pack ribbed us, asking how Thornwood's Luna got to be so clingy.Three years ago, at the welcome feast, Cain had given the best seat and the gravest looks to Seraphine, in front of the whole hall. I was his fated mate in name, and they'd put me at the very last table, like an unclaimed ornament, with not one wolf to offer me a toast. How I swallowed that cup of cold wine I'd poured myself that night, I remember down to the last detail.Now I returned the taste of
