Chapter 8

Author: Mountain River
I shook my head. "Vivian's going to be heartbroken if you keep coming after me. Besides, our mate bond is already broken. An Alpha shouldn't stoop to this."

Kyle didn't get angry at my coldness. The sharpness in his eyes was gone, replaced by a quiet, pleading look as he spoke to me with patience.

"Serene, just hear me out. I wasn't thinking straight. That's the only reason I went along with Vivian's ridiculous charade. When I first came to the academy, I really did want to surprise you.

  • He Didn't Believe in Our Fated Mate Bond, so I Walked Away   Chapter 10

    Kyle's raspy voice carried a quiet dependence, like he'd finally found the cure he'd been waiting for.Coolly, I said, "I've already told Vivian. She'll be here tonight to look after you.""Serene, why would you call her?" Kyle pushed himself upright, visibly agitated. "I just want you! You don't have to do anything. Just being near you helps me fight off the silver!"In that moment, Kyle's selfishness was impossible to ignore. Just looking at him turned my stomach, and I didn't bother hiding it."Serene, you still can't forgive me, can you?" he asked, a faint flicker of hope in his eyes."No."The light in his eyes vanished instantly."I'm deleting all of Vivian's contacts right now, in front of you! I swear, I'll go back to loving and protecting you like I used to…" Kyle trailed off.I'd already paid him back for that "love and protection" with ten years of my youth.I wasn't about to waste another decade hoping he'd come around, especially now that I no longer saw him as th

  • He Didn't Believe in Our Fated Mate Bond, so I Walked Away   Chapter 9

    Kyle's agonizing roar, thick with bitterness and a refusal to back down, made me wonder if jealousy had devoured him.The truth was, he never believed he was in the wrong. He betrayed me by cheating with Vivian, yet I wasn't allowed to walk away.So what was it? Had my absence ruined the spectacle of his and Vivian's mate-bonding ceremony? Or was it simply that he couldn't stand being outmaneuvered for the first time by a mate he'd never truly valued?Kyle played me for a fool for two years while I was at the academy, and it seemed he'd conveniently forgotten all about it.His repeated appearances in the Darkmoon pack were the gravest betrayal a fated mate could possibly commit.I had no interest left in debating right and wrong with him. The moment I rejected that mate-bonding ceremony, there was no turning back for us.I sighed. "Kyle, we need to move on. Just leave."But his grip on my arm tightened like a vice."Serene, everyone makes mistakes. Won't you just give me one

  • He Didn't Believe in Our Fated Mate Bond, so I Walked Away   Chapter 7

    What was Kyle hoping to explain to me?Was he expecting me to justify why I bailed at the last second on all the pack elders and loved ones gathered for our mate-bonding ceremony?Or was he expecting me to explain why I, his supposedly fated mate, remained silent while Vivian flaunted the moonstone necklace meant for me and humiliated me in front of everyone?While his pack crumbled due to internal strife, it was I who provided Mom's healing secrets and rare herbs to help him stabilize his leadership.Later, when his pack required power, I abandoned my comforts and submitted to intense training at Werewolf Academy, purely to become his most formidable ally.Kyle claimed he was too swamped with pack business to visit me, so I was the one who traveled thousands of miles, time and again, just to see him.While I was pushing through grueling training, he was barely a mile away, whispering sweet nothings to the woman I despised the most.He took Vivian to every place he'd once promis

  • He Didn't Believe in Our Fated Mate Bond, so I Walked Away   Chapter 6

    I couldn't take the bombardment anymore. I was about to turn off my phone when Kyle called again."Serene, you finally picked up…"His voice was rough, thick with fatigue and a worry he couldn't quite mask. His Alpha dominance was nowhere to be found."Thank goodness. I thought something had happened to you. Are you okay? Where did you go? Why did you clear out the house? And why did you break the mate bond? Serene, please, just tell me what's going on!"I frowned, bewildered.What was wrong with him?He allowed Vivian to humiliate me during our mate-bonding ceremony. When I walked away and refused to go through with it, wasn't that proof enough that our bond was already broken beyond fixing?And now, he had the nerve to pretend he was worried about me. Did his "true love" with Vivian not seem grand enough without me—the loser—as a pathetic contrast?When I was injured during training at the academy, he was just a mile away, busy flirting with Vivian. So where was all this conc

  • He Didn't Believe in Our Fated Mate Bond, so I Walked Away   Chapter 5

    The Gamma Tactical R&D project had demanded so much from me, and I hadn't had a moment to think about how Kyle might be feeling right now.Perhaps he and Vivian had already exchanged vows in the ceremony they'd always dreamed of, surrounded by heartfelt blessings. But none of that mattered to me anymore.When I got off the plane, Elder Alan was already there, flanked by his two star students—Lena Burnett and Marcus Dunham. A giant screen above the terminal flashed a bold message."Welcome back, Warrior Serene!"It caught people's attention. They probably thought I was someone important."Elder Alan, this is too much," I said, managing a faint smile.He stepped forward and wrapped me in a warm, steady embrace. His voice, sounding kind and quietly strong, filled the air."Remember, Serene. From today, the Darkmoon pack is your home. We are your family, and we'll always support you."Since witnessing Kyle's proposal, I'd been fighting an internal battle, using a Gamma warrior's ir
