Mag-log inThe ninety-ninth time my mate, Valeria, the pack's Alpha Female, blocked our mind-link, I dragged myself, ravaged by Soul-Decay, into the Hall of Covenants. The cold marble steps bit at my bare feet, each one sending a lancing pain through my chest. In the final stages of Soul-Decay, I'd lost my healing abilities. Even the simple act of walking was agony. "I'm here to request a severance of my mate bond." The covenant official took in my pale, gaunt frame, his gaze softening with pity. "Sir," he asked quietly, "don't you have a pack to support you?" I've been invisible to my parents ever since my father brought home my adoptive brother, Silas, when I was ten. And while Valeria was my mate, it was in name only. We had never held a public marking ceremony. She rarely brought me to pack gatherings. Most of the pack wouldn't even recognize me. I wiped away the blood welling at the corner of my mouth. "That doesn't matter anymore," I told the official. "A dying wolf needs no pack."

He told the guard, "I know the Alpha Female hates me now, but please, tell her this one thing. The Black Moon Pack has lost its commander and is in decline. I am the only one who can help her restore the pack to its former glory."However, when Valeria appeared before his cell, her eyes held only icy hatred."Still scheming? You murdered my mate, and now you want to take his place? The Black Moon Pack would rather fall to ruin than be led by a murderer."Valeria ordered the guards to drag him from the cell and take him to my grave. A simple stone, engraved with my name."Kneel," Valeria's command was absolute. "Repent for your sins before Rowan."Silas was forced to his knees on sharp gravel, his skin quickly breaking and bleeding. He realized then that Valeria was truly going to destroy him.After days and nights of this, Silas understood that all his hopes
My soul floated in the heavens, a silent observer to the chaos below.Ignoring Bruno's objections, Valeria stubbornly brought my body back to the Alpha villa. Her eyes red and her voice hoarse, she insisted that even in death, a mate must return to their own home.In the grand hall of the villa, as Valeria was desperately weeping over my body, the main door opened.Silas walked in with a carefree stride, the same triumphant smile on his face. He had no idea what had happened."Alpha Valeria, I'm back! The pack elders' meeting today went so smoothly. I've already convinced them to support my... Oh, by the way, I saw him slumming it with some rogue on the border. ““He's missed training for days. Alpha Female, don't be too hard on my brother, alright?"Before he could finish, Valeria shot to her feet, a powerful surge of Alpha energy erupting from her.Caught completely off guard, Silas was thrown back, slamming hard against the wall. He clutched his bruised shoulder, his eyes wide with
Amidst the grief, my phone rang.At first, Helena thought it was a sales call. But after a few seconds, she shakily put it on speaker."Hello, Mr. Rowan. I'm calling to ask if you still need the soul sanctuary crystal you reserved? If you make a 5% deposit now, we can continue to hold it for you."Hearing the words "soul sanctuary crystal," Valeria's breath caught in her throat."So I wasn't mistaken," she whispered. "The day he went to sever the bond... he was already arranging his own funeral."Valeria's voice trembled so much she could barely form a sentence. "He mentioned a soul sanctuary to me, and I... I accused him of cursing himself."Helena and Gideon had to hold onto each other to stay upright. They finally realized that Rowan had never been lying. He had truly been walking toward his death.Gideon, fighting through his heartbreak, snatched the phone. "We'll take the crystal. Hold it for us! I want the best, the most expensive one! We owe Rowan too much. This is the only way
I floated in the air, a phantom watching everything unfold below.Without a word, Bruno led them through the diner. When they were finally faced with a body covered by a white sheet, Valeria and my parents froze."What is this! What kind of sick joke is this!" Valeria's voice trembled. She rushed forward and tore off the sheet.When she saw the familiar face, her entire world collapsed. It was Rowan. Her mate.Lying there, as peaceful as if he were asleep. But he would never wake up again.The final severance of the mate bond struck her soul like a bolt of lightning. The powerful Alpha bloodline within her shattered. Her wolf spirit let out a desperate, mournful howl from within her chest."Rowan... my son... my own flesh and blood..." My mother collapsed beside the bed. She wanted to touch my face, but her hand hesitated.My father stood nearby, desperately trying to control the twitching of his facial muscles, but his tears streamed down his face anyway. It was the first time in all
