LOGINThe wolves of our pack are different from most. At five years old, every pup must undergo their first shift. But my son Ash was born with a broken wolf. He couldn't complete the shift on his own. The healer said the only way to stabilize him was for my Alpha mate, Kael, to transfer fifteen percent of his power to Ash. Otherwise, Ash would die during the first shift. The Five Packs Alliance summit was approaching. Any loss of strength could put Silver Fang at a disadvantage in negotiations. Kael weighed his options and decided to postpone. He said Ash could hold on through this moon cycle — they'd do it after the summit. I begged him to perform the ritual as soon as possible. Kael gave me his word. But the summit kept getting pushed back. First, Kael's childhood sweetheart Nora said her daughter Lily had a fever and she couldn't manage alone. Kael dropped everything and stayed with them for two days. Then Nora asked to take Lily to the Northern Frost Pack's Bonfire Festival. She said Lily had never had a father, had never attended a single pack celebration, and wanted Kael to go as family. When Ash was losing his breath in my arms, I called Kael. He said: "Lily's first shift ceremony is in three days. I have to stay and guide her. Don't worry — I'll be back as soon as it's over. Ash isn't urgent. Didn't the Elder say there's still a month? Stop overreacting." Three days later, Kael rushed home. All he found was Ash's cold body.
View MoreKael was on his knees outside the outpost, half his body convulsing beyond his control.When I came out and saw him, he was driving his fist into his own chest — each blow forced the shifting to recede for a few seconds before it surged back.He looked up at me. There was no Alpha pride left in his eyes. Only something I'd never seen on his face before — terror."This is my punishment. I didn't give Ash the infusion. I don't deserve to be an Alpha. I don't deserve to be a father. Now my wolf is collapsing — the same way Ash's did."Then he said: "Selene, if you'll stay by my side, I'll do anything you ask."He raised his right hand and slapped himself hard across the face. His claws raked three bloody lines down his own cheek.I didn't stop him.I looked at him coldly: "Kael. I have one condition. Go to the Alpha Council and formally submit a mate bond dissolution, in front of every Alpha. Acknowledge that you unilaterally violated your mate bond obligations and that it was your fault
The moment I'd seen Kael at the outpost, I'd already planned my next move.Through Moon Shadow's intelligence network, I leaked Kael's current location and detailed information about his weakened state to Nora.Nora had been hunting everywhere for Kael, demanding the official status papers for Lily. Kael had been dodging her. My plan was simple — lead Nora straight to him, and let him deal with the mess he'd created.Sure enough, the day after I released the information, Nora showed up at the neutral territory hotel where Kael was staying, Lily in tow.Before Kael could react, Nora confronted him in front of everyone: "You promised Lily an official title. Now you're going back on your word?"Kael's face was stone: "Nora, enough."Nora screamed: "If it weren't for you, Selene never would have left! Ash never would have died! Lily and I have given everything for you, and you won't even give her a title?"Kael snapped. The confrontation turned violent — Nora half-shifted and clawed open h
When I saw Kael, I felt nothing. No hatred, no love. Absolutely nothing.I pulled my wrist free and said calmly: "Our mate bond is already broken. I'm not your Luna anymore. Let go."Kael's eyes reddened instantly: "A mate bond can be rebuilt. If you're willing to come back, I'll re-mark you in front of the entire pack and publicly acknowledge you as Luna."I pushed him back and looked him in the eye: "We can't go back. And I have no right to forgive you. The one you owe is Ash."Kael went still for a beat, then grabbed my shoulders with a desperation bordering on madness: "Selene, we can have another child — my power will recover. The next pup won't have any problems, I promise."Another child.As if Ash were just a broken thing that could be swapped out for a new one.When I didn't respond, Kael lowered his head and tried to press his forehead to mine.I stepped aside.Theron came back from patrol and walked straight into the scene.He didn't hesitate. He stepped between me and Kael,
After Lily's infusion ritual, Kael collapsed on the stone altar in the ceremonial hall.The ritual was a success. Lily's fracture was repaired. But Kael had lost nearly forty percent of his power — far more than the fifteen percent Ash would have needed.Nora threw her arms around him: "Thank you, Kael, thank you..."Kael didn't respond. His hand was clenched around the death certificate in his chest.After Nora left, Kael unfolded the document and read it again — "failure to receive Alpha blood-kin power infusion, resulting in complete wolf disintegration."He started to shake.Then he stormed into the Elder Hall and seized the Elder by the collar: "You said Ash had another month. Why didn't he make it?"The Elder stared at him coldly: "What I said was 'another cycle, assuming the Luna's power continued to stabilize him.' Your Luna held him together alone through the entire full moon night. Her own wolf nearly collapsed. But she was never a substitute for Alpha blood — she could only
