His Wolf Chose Her, I Chose Goodbye Chapter 11
Six months later, Rowan came to Southhaven for the last time.He brought the restored photographs and the key to my mother’s old conservatory. The Northcliff residence had been sealed, and he no longer entered it.“I won’t disturb you again.” He set the key on the table. “I only have one question.”I waited.“If Serena had never appeared, would we still be together?”His wolf shadow lay at my feet, quieter than it had been on the day of our reunion.I shook my head. “If it had not been Serena, eventually it might have been someone else.”His face paled.“I did not leave because she won. She only forced me to see that our relationship had already been failing. You came home on time, but you had stopped listening to me. You gave me property and shares, yet decided which work was worth my time and which hurt I should tolerate.”“When Serena arrived, those choices became impossible to ignore. You knew I loved you and assumed I would never leave, so my feelings became the easiest thing to s

Serena’s case went to trial two months later.She admitted that she had ordered her assistant to steal my Luna access, but insisted that the falling emblem had been an accident. She asked Rowan, as the man whose life she had saved, to petition for leniency.At the hearing, she demanded through tears, “Have you forgotten what you promised in that ice cave? You said that if we survived, you would protect me.”Rowan met her gaze calmly. “I will repay the fact that you saved my life. Protection is not permission, and Maeve’s suffering will not be the currency of my gratitude.”He paid for Serena’s continuing medical care and basic living expenses, but refused to interfere with the court. She was convicted of sabotaging public equipment, stealing identity credentials, fabricating evidence, and making false accusations. Her healer’s license was permanently revoked, and after serving her sentence, she would be banished from Northcliff.Before she left the courtroom, Serena asked him one last

When news of the investigation into Serena spread, public anger turned toward me. People accused me of using my former Luna status to punish the woman who had saved Rowan’s life. Abuse flooded the studio’s accounts, and two new clients suspended their contracts.The following day, Rowan called a press conference broadcast throughout the territory.He did not hide behind a public-relations officer. He stood alone before the cameras and released the access footage, the system data, and the recording of Serena instructing her assistant.A reporter asked, “If the evidence is this clear, why did you decide Ms. Quinn was responsible?”Rowan was silent for a moment. “Because I favored Serena.”“I did not investigate. I did not listen to my wife’s explanation. She was injured in the accident, yet I used an Alpha command to restrict her freedom and tried to force her to accept blame for something she had not done.”The room erupted.A Pack Council representative moved to stop the broadcast, but

I looked down at the wolf shadow by my feet.Seven years earlier, it had followed me down an entire street and convinced me that Rowan would always put me first. Now it had returned, but I felt no joy.Callum did not presumptuously step between us. He only asked, “Do you want me to stay?”“Yes.”At my answer, he remained beside me without trying to speak for me.I faced Rowan. “This is my home. I’m not going back with you.”The hope on his face went still.“I know what happened now. Serena arranged the accident, and I gave the evidence to the police. I’ll repair the conservatory and restore everything of your mother’s that can be saved.” He moved closer, urgency roughening his voice. “I will never doubt you again. No one will ever come before you. Maeve, we can start over.”“No.”I raised my bandaged hand. “Serena stole the pass and sabotaged the equipment. But you were the one who suspected me, injured me, restricted my freedom, and tried to force me to confess.”“She did not control

Serena arrived at the foundation with swollen, tear-streaked eyes.“I don’t know why she took Maeve’s pass. Maybe she was angry about the way Maeve treated me and wanted to defend me.”Rowan said nothing. He played the audio the technicians had recovered.Serena’s own voice instructed her assistant to arrange an accident that “wouldn’t really hurt anyone.” If the evidence led back to Maeve, the Pack Council would decide she was no longer fit to serve as Luna.All color vanished from Serena’s face. After a long silence, she clutched Rowan’s sleeve and began to cry.“I only wanted to stay beside you. I was the one who endured that night on the mountain with you. I dragged you from the snow. Can you honestly say you feel nothing for me but gratitude?”“Yes.” Rowan pulled his sleeve from her hand. “I have never loved you.”Serena stared at him. Then she laughed through her tears.“But I never forced you to doubt Maeve. I never ordered you to imprison her.” Her gaze held his. “Every time,

The press conference began without Maeve.As the delay stretched on, reporters demanded to know whether the Luna’s absence was an admission that she had tried to hurt Serena and whether the Blackwood Pack intended to use Alpha authority to shield her from investigation.Rowan sat in the waiting room, growing angrier by the minute. He sent another message.[Everyone is waiting. Stop being difficult.]No reply came.Serena approached with reddened eyes.“Perhaps I should explain everything myself. Maeve acted impulsively. I don’t want the whole pack attacking her.”“This has nothing to do with you.” Rowan pressed his fingers to his temple. “She promised she would come.”For seven years, no matter how fiercely they argued, Maeve had always kept her word. Rowan waited for her to give in and clean up their conflict as she always had.Then pain ripped through his chest without warning.He doubled over as Maeve’s presence drained from the mate bond. The wolf inside him howled with such despai
