The people who'd just emerged from the conference room, previously chattering among themselves, fell dead silent.

I struggled to steady my breathing.

"Marcus, I have no obligation to apologize. I told you the fire wasn't..."

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Apologize."

He cut me off. His eyes were like a cold, venomous snake slithering up my spine and spreading through my entire body.

Yes, this was Marcus. He'd rather believe an Omega he'd barely known than trust the mate who'd been by his side for years. Once he made up his mind about something, there was no room for negotiation.

Like becoming my mate.

Like falling in love with his new secretary.

I should have realized sooner. Leaving him was unavoidable.

I smiled calmly.

"Marcus, let's dissolve our mate bond."

A moment of shock crossed his face.

But he quickly replaced it with a mocking smile.

"Are you trying to threaten me with mate bond dissolution?"

"Serena, didn't I tell you? I hate self-righteous people. And I hate people who threaten me even more."

I nodded, repeating with a trembling voice.

"I want to dissolve our mate bond."

The air fell silent for a long time. Then came the man's cold, mocking laughter from above.

"Fine. Go write up the dissolution request right now."

Marcus abandoned all his business affairs. Together we drafted the mate bond dissolution agreement. After signing our names, he sent the dissolution contract to the Alpha Council via email.

After sending the email, Marcus left me with just one sentence.

"Think carefully before the Alpha Council approves this."

After that, Marcus never came home again.

I knew he was staying at a hotel. During this time, he sent a beta wolf to collect his clothes once.

When the beta saw me, he clearly wanted to say something but held back.

I knew he wasn't used to this. I'd always arranged Marcus's daily life perfectly. As a beta, he only had to worry about work tasks.

But now it was different. His workload had increased significantly.

As I handed him the suitcase, I said only one thing.

"Aria's birthday is the day after tomorrow. Remind him to attend."

The beta delivered the message.

But I didn't expect that on the birthday party day, Marcus wouldn't be the only one to show up.

Vivian stood beside him, wearing a blue crystal-studded gown that matched Marcus's deep blue suit.

He naturally took her hand and introduced her to everyone: "This is Vivian."

Aria, dressed in her princess gown, suddenly ran over excitedly and threw herself into Marcus's arms.

Vivian stood beside them with a gentle smile.

The scene was warm and harmonious, like a real family.

Someone whispered nearby.

"See that? The Alpha's serious this time. I heard they're dissolving their mate bond soon."

"He's really spoiling her beyond reason. Look at that mistress dressed more expensively than the Luna."

"I always thought the Alpha loved his Luna..."

"Men will always have women on the side. Take it too seriously and things get out of hand. Now even the child..."

    The street corner where I spotted Vivian was in the worst part of the city.Neon signs flickered overhead, casting sickly colors on the cracked pavement. This was where desperate people came to make desperate choices.Vivian stood there in stilettos and a short dress that had seen better days. Her hair was bleached platinum blonde, but the dark roots showed she couldn't afford proper maintenance anymore.She was showing her bare back to passing cars, the dress barely covering anything important."Hey handsome, can you give me a ride?" she called to the driver of a luxury sedan, her voice artificially sweet.The businessman inside looked interested until he noticed my official vehicle behind him.The driver of my SUV looked embarrassed as he glanced back at me through the partition."Should I keep driving, Doctor?"Only then did Vivian notice someone in the back seat of the military vehicle.When our eyes met through the tinted glass, her carefully applied makeup couldn't hide the terro

    Marcus's mother beamed with joy, her hands clasped together as she peered at the tiny bundle in my arms."He's perfect, Serena. Absolutely perfect."She couldn't stop touching his little fingers, counting his toes, marveling at every detail.Marcus stood beside my hospital bed, tears streaming down his face without shame."He looks just like you," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. "Everything about him."I watched him stare at our son with wonder, probably thinking this baby would fix everything between us."What should we name him?" he asked softly."Alexander," I said. "It means protector of men.""Alexander Blackthorne." He tested the name, smiling through his tears. "Our little prince."But our moment of peace shattered within hours.When Vivian heard the news of the birth, she suddenly hemorrhaged severely.The call came while Marcus was still holding our son, cooing softly to him.His phone rang, and I watched his face change from pure joy to horror in seconds."What?

    Our love story was painted like a fairy tale in every article and post.Only I knew that fairy tales were all lies.The irony was delicious. Here was Marcus, celebrating our "renewed love" while I held our divorce papers in my hands.Seemingly certain I wouldn't cause trouble anymore, Marcus completely let loose with Vivian.Her social media updates became frequent, almost desperate. As if she was eager to show off their happiness in this secret corner.It was hard for me not to see them. The algorithm kept pushing her posts to my feed.Pictures of expensive dinners, weekend getaways, intimate moments in luxury hotels.But she probably didn't know that while Marcus played their game of true love with her, his guilt toward me was making me rich.When they shared dinner at a three-Michelin-star restaurant, posting photos of champagne and caviar, Cartier's century collection and Manhattan skyscraper property deeds quietly appeared in my name.Marcus's assistant delivered them personally,

    "As for Marcus and me, whether this child exists or not, we're dissolving our mate bond either way."The previously relaxed atmosphere suddenly turned oppressive.Marcus's mother looked like I'd slapped her. His father's face was a mask of shock.The air fell silent for a long time before Marcus's mother sighed deeply."Serena, it's not good for women to be too strong-willed. Why do you have to make everything so difficult?"Her voice carried disappointment, as if I was a child throwing a tantrum.Only I knew I had no other choice.Marcus's every action was like a fishbone stuck in my throat, choking me slowly.Like a time bomb buried in my heart, ticking toward destruction.Without Vivian, there would be other women. Younger ones, prettier ones, more compliant ones.Perhaps someday, sitting in his car wouldn't just be a woman.But a woman holding a child. His child with someone else.What would happen to Aria then? How would she cope with being replaced?I just wanted to protect her p

    The cemetery workers looked uncomfortable when I asked about moving my mother's grave.The older man shifted his weight from foot to foot, clearly wishing he was anywhere else."Moving a grave requires signatures from both mates, Luna. It's pack law, you understand."His words hit me like a physical blow.I knew perfectly well that Marcus wouldn't sign. Not now, not when Vivian had her claws so deep in him.He'd probably laugh in my face if I asked. Or worse, he'd use it as another way to control me.So I could only wait for the mate bond dissolution to go through.But as I sat in my car outside the cemetery gates, reality crashed down on me.Blackwater Pack wouldn't agree to it. The Council of Elders had made that clear through their carefully worded messages.To them, whether Marcus loved me or whether I was happy didn't matter one bit. Politics trumped personal feelings every time.As long as I remained the most suitable person to help them maintain their facade, they wouldn't conse

    On the drive home, the sky was overcast and threatening. Dark clouds gathered like my mood, heavy and oppressive.It started to rain just as I reached the main road. Fat droplets splattered against my windshield, blurring the world outside.The moment the raindrops fell, I suddenly missed my mother with an intensity that stole my breath.She would have known what to do. She would have seen through Marcus's games from the beginning.So I turned the car in another direction, heading to the cemetery in the suburbs.My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter as memories flooded back. Mom's laugh. Her gentle hands braiding my hair. Her fierce protection when Dad brought his affairs into our home.Following my memory, I walked through the wrought iron gates and along the familiar stone path.But I was shocked speechless by what I saw.My mother's headstone was pressed tightly against the one beside it. What had once been a solemn single grave, exactly as she'd requested, had been transforme
