Chapter 10

Author: Margot
Jakob's mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't even remember how he had walked into the hall.

It wasn't until he was standing in the bonding ceremony hall that he was stunned in place.

On the massive LED screen, it was playing the following photos in sequence. The official mate bond termination agreement between him and Cynthia, the ninety-nine wedding photos of him and Molly, and the photos of him dining with Molly's parents…

Jakob staggered back and collapsed into a chair, as if his soul had been ripped from his body.

The moments he had spent with Cynthia during this time started to play in his mind.

Only then did he realize that Cynthia must have known about Molly all this time.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked at him with such hollow eyes when he left her during lunch.

And her goodbye sounded like a final farewell.

Here, he foolishly thought that he had hidden everything perfectly.

But his relationship with Molly was just physical! He didn't have any feelings for her

    Jakob's gaze turned dark as he fought to contain his anger, as he locked his eyes on Molly."You're the one who sent Philip to kill Cynthia?"Molly frantically shook her head as she shuddered. She still tried to deny it as she said, "I didn…!"Bang!Before she could even finish, Jakob had already thrown a punch, and his fist crashed into her face.The punch was enough to immediately rush Molly's face as blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth.Then came a second punch. And then a third. Jakob was like a man gone mad, pouring all his guilt, regret, and sorrow into his punches on Molly.In just minutes, Molly was almost unconscious as she lay on the ground. But Jakob didn't stop punching.The entire banquet hall was dead silent as all the werewolves stared in horror as Jakob lost control. No one dared to stop him.Only until the guards and healers came did Jakob finally stop his bloodied hands.By the time Molly was taken away, she was already covered in blood. Her sci

    Before losing all his influence within the pack as Alpha, the last thing Jakob did was to conduct a thorough investigation into my death.When he learned that Philip was connected to my death, he couldn't control his rage. He personally led a team and tore Philip apart.When Molly heard the news, she sat alone in the living room. Her mind was in complete chaos.They hadn't traced anything back to her yet, but she knew it was only a matter of time before she was exposed.She touched her belly. After giving it some thought, she decided to stay with Jakob.Her relationship with Jakob was already fully known by the entire pack.She was still carrying a pup in her belly. As long as she was willing to endure the humiliation and stay with Jakob for five years, once his period of punishment had ended, he would still have the chance to reclaim his leadership of the Blackflame Pack.When that time came, she could still have everything.A few months later, Molly was due for her delivery.

    One week later, my personal assistant Mia returned to Jakob's villa in the Blackflame Pack.She looked at the Alpha before her. He had lost thirty pounds. She almost couldn't recognize the once-prideful Jakob.However, she was simply surprised for a moment before she regained her composure and professionalism."Alpha, as per Lady Cynthia's final wishes, she had left this villa in my care. The new owner has signed the transfer papers today. Please vacate the premises."Before she could finish, Jakob suddenly raised his head with a bitter smile on his face."Vacate? Of course… Cynthia's dead. There's no scent of her in this place. There's no point in my staying here."And then, he stumbled toward the exit. Mia had no choice but to follow close behind.Mia knew that ever since my death, Jakob had been drinking heavily and didn't sleep at all.During his worst moment, he had even attempted to take his own life.Sure enough, before Jakob could even exit through the garden, he stumb

    I asked Simon to hide the fact that he had pulled me from the waves. Then we worked with my parents and immediately issued an official obituary.[It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter Cynthia, who tragically drowned at 27 despite the best resuscitation efforts. She was a kind and beautiful woman who loved to live life. Her laughter and warmth will forever live in our memories. May she rest in peace. If there's another life, we hope to be mother and daughter again.]The obituary caused a commotion the moment it was released.Molly, who received the news, paced the living room in excitement when she heard the news.She laughed like a madwoman, her eyes shone with glee. "Finally! I finally got rid of that obstacle! Oh, Cynthia… Don't blame me. If you want to blame something, blame it on the fact that you're in my way."Jakob was presiding over an important pack meeting when his phone vibrated.He tapped it open. It was an obituary his friend sen

    Back in the Palemoon Pack, I had just finished my professional course. I was lounging in a chair on the balcony, enjoying the warmth coming from a small heater.In the past month, I had cut off all contact with Jakob. I had been spending my days studying and focusing on myself. I had never felt better than this. It was like I had been reborn.Just as I was about to eat something, my phone rang.Tessa's tone was just as teasing as usual. "Mr. Romantic has been posting handwritten love letters every day and the Internet is basically in tears. Have you seen it?""Who? I haven't been paying attention," I said coldly with a frown."Jakob, of course."I couldn't understand why Jakob was still doing all of this. I had already shown clearly that I was done with him when I left.I didn't want to see him ever again.Then, Tessa changed the subject. "However, the word is that Jakob's going to the Palemoon Pack to find you in about a month."I froze when I was trying to find something, th

    As Jakob and Molly were having the conversation, I was at the airport.I dragged my suitcase through the arrival terminal and spotted my parents waiting outside.My mother recognized me instantly, her eyes turned red. My wolf also whimpered faintly in my chest.She almost couldn't stand properly when she saw how I looked.Her precious daughter, whom she cherished and doted on. How could she become so drained, exhausted, and hollow in five years of marriage?"Is everything between you and Jakob settled?" She asked as her voice choked.She and Dad had heard everything from their friends last night.The news of Jakob taking wedding photos with his first love behind my back and meeting her parents had spread. Even those at the Palemoon Pack had heard of it.I stood there looking at my parents, my throat dry. "Dad… Mom… I'm so sorry."There were the Palemoon Pack's Alpha and Luna. They had always been respected and reputable.After what happened to me, they were bound to become th

    Jakob hesitated for a while and sighed.He then said to Tessa on the other side of the phone, "You probably don't know about this, but Cynthia can't bear any pups. Once Molly gives birth, I'll send her away from the Blackflame Pack. She'll never show up again."Tessa quietly shook her head, feeling that I deserved better.Not only had I stayed in the Blackflame Pack for love, but I even quietly took the heat for not being able to have pups for Jakob's sake. But after I had just left, the first thing on Jakob's mind was still his pup.Even if Cynthia couldn't conceive, Jakob shouldn't have chosen the cruelest choice of all. Letting his first love carry his pup."Then, there's nothing more to say. You'll eventually pay for everything you've done."Jakob frowned, sensing that Tessa meant something else.He wanted to ask more, but she had already hung up.He didn't want to give up and began calling each of my good friends, asking where I was.But other than Tessa, almost all my

    The guests lowered their heads and started to exchange glances and murmurs.What was going on? Why was Molly's voice in the voice message that came from Jakob's account?Just when the atmosphere in the hall became tense, an observant guest suddenly spoke up and pointed out something critical."This is just a guess, but is it possible that Molly sent these messages to Cynthia using Jakob's phone?"That was enough to clarify what was haunting everyone, and it made them even angrier."How are homewreckers this bold now? She used the Alpha's phone to taunt the real Luna?""No… Even though I'm Jakob's friend, I can never accept something like this! I need something to yell at!""How could she be so smug when she was a homewrecker? Where's her decency?"Jakob's friends were there as well, but now? All of them were openly condemning Molly with my friends.There was fury in Jakob's eyes. His steps were heavy and deliberate as he walked over to Molly.With every step taken, the weight
