Chapter3

Author: Crystal K
That night, Damien didn't come back to our apartment.

I knew where he was.

The next morning, I opened the pack's secure network.

The top post was a new update.

Alpha Damien had ordered a hundred thousand dollars' worth of rare supplements for Seraphina.

Blood Ginseng, Moonlight Fungus, and Starfruit—things only needed during a werewolf pregnancy.

The comments section exploded.

"Is our Alpha going to be a father?"

"But isn't Isla his Luna?"

"I heard that Seraphina girl moved into the penthouse."

"Isn't the Mating Ceremony next week?"

I shut my phone off.

At noon, I met my best friend, Chloe.

"You what?" Chloe's voice was so sharp it nearly shattered her coffee cup. "You're calling off the ceremony?"

"That's right."

"Are you insane? He's your fated mate!"

"Fated mates don't mark other women right before their ceremony," I said, calmly sipping my coffee. "And they certainly don't get another she-wolf pregnant with their pup."

Chloe gasped. "A pup?"

I showed her the photo of the lab report on my phone.

"That scheming bitch!" Chloe slammed her hand on the table. "She played you!"

"Probably," I shrugged. "But it doesn't matter anymore."

"Isla, you can't just give up. Damien loves you."

"Loves me?" I gave a bitter laugh. "Does someone who loves you mark another woman behind your back?"

Chloe fell silent.

"I've already accepted the invitation from the European Healers' Guild," I said, standing up. "I'm leaving tomorrow."

"So soon?"

"If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll do something I regret."

At eleven that night, I got back to the apartment building after an herb exchange.

The gathering was a success.

I’d met several healers from Europe, including a few Alphas I’d never seen before.

When the elevator doors opened, Damien was standing there.

His eyes were cold, his nostrils flaring slightly. "Where were you?"

"An herb exchange."

"With who?" he pressed.

"Some colleagues."

Damien stalked towards me, like a predator closing in on its prey. "Don't lie to me. I smell another male's scent on you. An Alpha's."

"So what if you do?"

A dangerous light flashed in his eyes. "Get away from me, and wash that scent off you."

"You don't get to order me around."

"I'm your fated mate!"

"No, you're not," I said, pushing past him. "You're Seraphina's."

I walked towards our apartment, Damien following close behind.

But instead of arguing, he went straight to the armchair by the fireplace, sat down, and closed his eyes.

I knew what he was doing.

The mind-link.

His expression softened, and I could feel the murmur of his thoughts through our strained bond.

The pup is going to be so strong, so healthy.

The pup.

He was already looking forward to it.

I turned to go to my room.

"Isla."

His voice stopped me.

"There's something about the ceremony I need to talk to you about."

    Isla's POV"Yes."My answer stunned everyone in the room."Isla?" Ethan looked at me, a question in his eyes."If you want to come, you can come," I said to Damien. "But only to watch."A flicker of light appeared in Damien's eyes. "Thank you."The next morning, the doctor cleared Damien to leave the hospital for a few hours."But not for long," he warned. "The silver poison isn't completely gone."Ethan sent over a formal invitation and a ceremonial moonstone pin. It was the highest courtesy shown to a guest.At three o'clock, the ceremony began.The location was the edge of the oldest Moon Spring in Switzerland. We were surrounded by the Alps, their snowy peaks glittering in the sun. The water of the spring was clear as a mirror, glowing with a soft, silver light.I wore a traditional white ceremonial gown and a crown of laurel flowers.Ethan was in a deep blue Alpha's suit, the golden crest of the Sunstone Pack pinned to his chest.The Head Elder of the Guild officiated."In the

    Isla's POVTime slowed to a crawl. The glint of silver. The snarl of the attacker. And then, a blur of motion. A scent I knew better than my own."Isla!"The word was a desperate prayer as Damien's body slammed into mine, shielding me. The cursed, wolfsbane-laced blade sank deep into his chest with a sickening sound."No—!"He collapsed into my arms, blood instantly soaking his white shirt. Silver poison began to spread, his skin paling before my eyes."Damien!" I held him, my hands scrambling to channel my healing energy, to fight the poison, my voice shaking with terror. "Why would you—""Run..." he choked out, blood bubbling at his lips. "They'll... come back..."The two attackers, rogues by their scent, froze, their faces paling when they recognized Damien."Alpha!" one of them stammered. "We didn't mean to hurt you—""Get out," Damien's weak voice still held absolute command. "And if I ever see you again, I'll kill you myself."They dropped the box and fled."Call an ambulan

    Isla's POV"It's too late," I said, looking down at Damien, who was still standing before me like a supplicant."For five years, you never truly loved me," I began, counting his sins one by one."You never once brought me a moonstone—the simplest token of affection between mates, and you deemed it an unnecessary formality.""My passion, my gift... you dismissed it as a pointless hobby.""You took the most sacred rite our kind has, a bond blessed by the Goddess herself, and you defiled it for a pathetic, manipulative lie."Every word was like a silver knife twisting in his heart."I... I thought none of that mattered...""Right. It didn't matter to you," I said, looking down on him. "Because you thought I was your property. You thought I would never leave.""Let me be clear, Damien," my words were sharp as a razor. "You're not mourning us. You're mourning your bruised ego. You can't stand the fact that someone you considered yours chose to walk away."He looked up at me, and the light i

    Isla's POV"I don't need to save my ex mate."My voice was crystal clear in the silent hall. The color drained from Damien's face."Let's go," I said, taking Ethan's hand and turning to leave."Wait!" Damien yelled from behind us, his voice cracking with desperation. "Please, just give me a chance!"I didn't look back.Ethan drove me to my parents' house. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice full of concern."I'm fine," I said, watching the city lights flash by. "I just didn't expect to see him.""If you're not comfortable, we can go back to Switzerland early.""No," I said, turning to him. "I'm not letting anyone change my plans."Ethan smiled gently. "That's why I love you."He pulled up to my parents' house, and I gave him a soft kiss on the cheek before getting out.The moment I opened the door, I froze.There was someone sitting in the living room.Damien."Isla!" my mother said, standing up. "You're home."I looked at Damien on the couch, my voice turning to ice. "What are you d

    Isla's POVTwo years later.I was back in New York. Not for Damien, but for the Global Supernatural Healers' Summit.This was the pinnacle of my career."Isla!" Chloe ran over and hugged me. "Goddess, you look amazing!"It was true. I had changed. Two years of research had pushed my abilities to new heights. I was now the youngest Master Healer in the history of the Guild. More importantly, I had found peace."And who is 'we'?" Chloe asked, wiggling her eyebrows.I turned just as Ethan was walking toward us. He looked dashing in a perfectly tailored black suit, his smile as warm as ever."This is Ethan," I said, my voice clear and steady as I took his hand. "My partner in research... and in life. My chosen mate."Chloe looked from me to him, and a knowing glint appeared in her eyes. "You two...""Yes," I said, taking Ethan's hand. "We're together."The celebratory gala was held in New York's most luxurious hotel. The hall was filled with familiar faces."If I could have everyone'

    Damien's POVAn hour later, I burst into the resort.Seraphina was on the bed reading. Her face filled with panic when she saw me."Damien? What are you—""The Blood Moon," I cut her off. "Five years ago."Her face went white. "What... what are you talking about?""Who. Saved. Me?" I bit out each word."It was me, of course..." Her voice trembled."LIAR!" I roared. "I saw the memory crystal!"Seraphina's book fell to the floor."I... I helped, too..." she stammered. "We saved you together..."I walked toward her, staring into the eyes I once thought were so kind. Now all I saw was fear and deceit."Did you know she nearly died saving me?""I... I didn't know she would use so much...""You knew!" My voice turned to ice. "You knew she loved me, you knew she would do anything to save me, so you let her go first! And then you made sure you were the first person I saw when I woke up."The whole ugly truth was laid bare.I looked at the woman in front of me and felt nothing of the "life de
