Chapter 6

Penulis: Apple Cider
Killian POV:

I pulled out the certificate with trembling hands.

The name was written in bold letters—Selena Blackmoor.

Not Clara.

Never Clara.

My vision blurred. My chest tightened until it was hard to breathe.

She had signed it away.

She had given up on being my mate.

Tears burned my eyes as I staggered back, clutching the paper like a knife buried in my palm.

On the desk, an envelope caught my gaze. My name scrawled in her familiar handwriting.

I tore it open.

Inside lay a bank draft—twenty thousand dollars.

And a short note.

For the Alpha funds. I know the pack has been struggling. This is from the frost-herbs I gathered on the peaks. Don’t refuse. Use it for them.

The handwriting blurred as tears spilled hot and unrelenting.

She had nearly died climbing those mountains. I remembered her hands raw, her cloak heavy with snow, her smile faint but proud when she returned with the herbs.

And all that time, I thought she was clinging to me.

I thought she was a burden.

But she had been ca

    Thirty-three.The age he had died before.But now—he had made it.I smiled faintly. “Of course. I’ll be there.”That evening, the packhouse smelled of roasted herbs and sweet onion bread.Home.Mother hugged me tight, apron still on.“Clara, welcome home.”My throat burned.In this life, no one blamed me.No one screamed.No funeral.Just laughter.“You’ve gone soft,” she teased, wiping my eyes. “It’s only dinner.”It wasn’t until I saw the extra chairs set around the table that I understood.My mother had invited Killian’s parents too.She wanted us all together—as if the years of silence and loss could be washed away with one meal.As if she still hoped I might give him a chance.At the table, over soup and small talk, his father finally spoke of Selena.“She wasn’t cast out for nothing. First, they caught her sneaking into another wolf’s den—more than once. When the truth spread, the Council stripped her bond and drove her from the pack.”His mother’s tone sharpened.“Betrayal

    Her body went limp. Her chest stilled.The bond shattered like glass.Killian roared, raw and broken, his grief echoing through the western gate. He cradled her, rocking, begging the Moon, begging her.And as he held her cooling form, memory after memory pierced through him like blades.The time she climbed the snow peaks barefoot, fingers torn and bleeding, just to bring back the rare frost-herbs that would heal his wounds. He had never asked her to—yet she had come back smiling, her cloak heavy with snow.The way she woke before the sun each morning, slipping quietly into the woods, hunting so he could have the freshest kill before training. She would hand him the meat still warm, eyes bright, as if it were a feast.The nights she stitched his skin, pressing herbs into open gashes, whispering, “You’re safe now. ”And the silence she carried—the silence of a woman who never once spoke against him, though her own heart bled dry.She had given him everything. And he had le

  • Her Second Moon   Chapter 4

    When I woke, I was alone in the cot near the ward’s side screen.Everyone moved around me. No one noticed I’d stirred.The ancient projector played last night’s celestial event.A meteor shower—rare. A blessing from the stars.I missed it. Again.Some wishes were never meant to be mine.Footsteps. Then a voice, rough but laced with hope.“You’re awake. Selena stabilized. It’s because of you.”I nodded. “Good.”He blinked, then flinched. I must’ve looked like a ghost.“You shouldn’t have pushed yourself,” he muttered. “And I... I was cruel. You didn’t deserve that.”“It’s okay,” I said softly.Because it was.Because it no longer mattered.He hesitated. “You once said you wanted to see the Southern Peaks. The moon-glass lakes. I... I booked the flights. After you recover, we can—”I shook my head.“You don’t have to, Killian. This wasn’t about making anything right. I owed you this.”He didn’t understand.How could he?He turned to pour water, his hand trembling.The old scar—silver-bur

    I froze.That night came early. The Moon Goddess had cut my time short.In the last timeline, Selena had died too—from a silver-laced wound after a rogue ambush.The blood vaults had run dry. No healer came in time.That was the moment Killian’s resentment toward me turned lethal.But that had happened a month into our bond.So why... was it happening now?The Moon Goddess wasn’t giving me time.She was giving me a chance—to fulfill Killian’s third regret early.A medic’s whisper cut through the chaos.“She’s fading. Her wolf spirit is detaching. If it severs completely... she’ll go feral. Or worse.”Killian turned to me, and for the first time, I saw desperation crack through every layer of his Alpha pride.“Clara... please.”I didn’t answer.I didn’t need to.I was an Omega Healer—not just a mender of flesh, but a soul-weaver.Without hesitation, I dropped to my knees beside Selena and opened my satchel.Moonflower dust. Shadowroot ash. Spirit-binding quartz.And my final vial of moo

    He wouldn’t have to die for me at thirty.We could both live… finally free.I took a deep breath and signed “Selena” on the bond contract.I remembered the regrets from his journal:Regretting our forced bond. Not defying his parents. Failing to save Selena.One regret down.I stepped outside, holding both copies of the contract. Killian stood waiting.He reached for the papers, but I stopped him with a smile.“Tomorrow,” I said gently. “Let it be a surprise.”He narrowed his eyes. “You’re acting weird. What, being bonded to me knocked something loose in your brain?”Maybe. Or maybe I was just relieved to see him breathing again.“I think you’re the best Alpha in the world,” I said. “Anyone who ends up with you will be lucky.”He scoffed and turned away. But if I didn’t know better, I’d say he looked flustered.Nearby, a young couple chattered excitedly.“There’s a rare meteor shower tonight! They say if you watch it with your mate, your bond will last forever!”My h
