Chapter 7

Author: Man D
Leah POV

I wasn’t waiting for Jace to come back.

I had a new life now—new friends, days full of simple happiness and quiet purpose.

I used to think I couldn’t survive without him. But now, it seemed leaving him was exactly what I needed to live well.

Letting go wasn’t as hard as I’d feared.

A few days later, I was coming back from a walk when I saw Jace standing on the path outside my apartment.

He held out a huge bouquet of flowers, hope shining on his face.

“Leah, I’m here to take you home.”

I didn’t take the flowers.

“Jace, how many times do I have to say it? We’re done.”

The light in his eyes dimmed.

He stared at me for a long moment, making sure I wasn’t joking.

He whispered, “No. Leah, you promised you’d love me forever. You promised we’d never be apart.”

“Jace, you belong with Elena.”

“You know that’s a lie.”

“But the whole pack witnessed it. The Moon Goddess blessed it.”

He fell silent.

“Leah, as a friend for so many years, I couldn’t stand to see Elena suffer all those rumors

    Leah POVWhen I saw Jace again, he looked worn down—his face gaunt, his frame much thinner than before.He offered me a tired smile.“Leah, I came to see you again.”In his hands was a small bouquet of lilies, held somewhat awkwardly.“I… I only dared show up after I fixed everything.”I wasn’t sure what he meant exactly, but the change in him over just a few days was startling.“Are you sick?” I couldn’t help but ask, concern creeping into my voice.He gave a weak, embarrassed smile.“No, not sick. I just… removed the mark I placed on Elena.”“What? Removed the mark? That’s terrifying!”My hand nearly dropped the cup in shock.I knew the punishment was severe, but no one ever dared to risk it.It was almost like a myth—something everyone talked about but no one had witnessed.Pain flashed across his face for a moment, raw and fragile.“Yes. It hurts. All over.”I froze.No wonder a few days ago, a sharp burst of pain had flashed through my spiritual connection with him before disappea

    Jace POVThe moment Leah was discharged, I rushed straight home.I had to fix everything I’d broken.Elena saw me walk in and threw herself into my arms, her excitement overflowing.“Jace! You’re finally back. I missed you so much.”I shoved her away.“How many times do I have to say it? We’re just friends. Nothing more.”Her smile vanished.“But we’re recognized as mates. You marked me.”Mentioning the mark sent a flare of rage through me.“I only agreed to let you borrow Leah’s identity. And you greedily tried to steal her happiness!”I grabbed her phone and slammed it on the table.“Show me everything.”She stared at me, panic spreading across her face.“What? Show what?”I sneered, “You know exactly what you sent Leah.”Reluctantly, she swiped to her chat with Leah.Every message, every photo burned into my eyes like acid:“Jace belongs to me. He should have been mine long ago. You shouldn’t be here!”“Jace was drunk. Does he even remember what happened between us?”“Jace is soooo

    Leah POVI’d settled in a small town far from home, letting the quiet days smooth the raw edges inside me.The people here were kind, warm in a way I hadn’t expected. They noticed my pregnancy, noticed the way it slowed me down, and they offered help without hesitation.Little by little, I found myself belonging to their pack.One afternoon, I was curled on the couch with a book when the doorbell rang.I opened the door and my heart tripped over itself.Jace.We stood there, locked in a silence so thick it felt like the air itself had stopped moving.When he finally spoke, his voice trembled.“Leah… I’ve been looking for you for so long.”This proud Alpha King was blinking back tears.He stepped forward like he meant to hold me, and I instinctively backed away. His smile faltered, and he took a step back too.“Sorry. I just... got carried away.”Out of courtesy, I let him in.His eyes swept the small apartment, his brows drawing tight.“You live here? In this tiny place?”“It’s enoug

    Jace POVMatt came rushing over, panic etched all over his face.“Leah’s gone.”My heart kicked hard in my chest.Elena leaned close, her voice low and coaxing.“Don’t overreact. She’s probably just bored and went for a walk.” Her fingers brushed my arm. “It’s almost time. Mark me now. If she comes back, it’ll just make things harder to explain.”I hesitated, but… she had a point.Under the roar of applause, I pulled Elena into my arms and sank my teeth into her collarbone, sealing the mark.The moment the ceremony ended, I pushed her away and strode straight to the VIP room.Leah’s gown lay crumpled on the sofa, tossed aside. She’d changed back into her own clothes.One by one, my men returned. None of them had found her anywhere in the hall.A sharp, cold instinct hit me. She hadn’t left in a haze from the juice. She’d walked out on her own!She’d changed clothes… she had no intention of standing through the ceremony.Did she know my plan?I headed for home, fast.The second I ope

It was time for this to end.I packed up everything that was mine and threw it all out. The closet was empty, the picture frames bare, and not a single bottle remained on the vanity.The house felt empty and clean, as if I'd never been there at all.The next day, I let the makeup artist and stylist work their magic, making me shine.That bright smile staring back from the mirror was my goodbye to the last two years.When I walked up to Jace, he stared at me, eyes wide.It took him a long moment to find his voice."Leah… you're so beautiful.
