My Alpha Wanted Silence. I Gave Him Goodbye. Chapter 9
The morning of our mating ceremony arrived clear and bright.Silvercrest’s moon garden stood above the valley, surrounded by white pines and winter roses. Silver ribbons marked the aisle, and sunlight reflected from the frozen lake.I walked to the garden entrance on my own.Elias waited beneath an arch carved with the Silvercrest crest. From the moment I appeared, his attention never left me.When I reached him, he took my hand. His warm, steady touch settled the last trace of tension in my chest.The pack priest asked us to face each other before the moonstone altar.Elias kept his vow simple.“Mara, I will never make you guess where you stand with me. If you feel uncertain, ask me. If I hurt you, tell me, and I will listen.”His fingers tightened gently around mine.“You will never have to prove that you deserve my love by showing me how much pain you can endure.”The garden fell quiet.For six years, Kieran had treated my needs as flaws he could train out of me. He wanted me to ask

Another six months passed.One week before the mating ceremony, I stood in Silvercrest’s ceremonial room while a seamstress adjusted the silver embroidery along my dress.My phone rang on the table.Mason Hale.I considered letting it stop, then answered.“Mara, Kieran knows about the ceremony.”I looked at my reflection. “All right.”Mason paused, apparently expecting more.“The official announcement reached Blackridge last night. He went to Alpha House and tore the entrance ward out of the wall. The moonstone shattered, and he has been sitting beside the doorway ever since.”I smoothed the fabric over my waist.Mason continued carefully. “He keeps saying that if he had registered your scent that night, none of this would have happened.”“Registering it now would change nothing.”“I know, but he finally understands how badly he treated you.”“That understanding belongs to him.”“You spent six years together.”I raised my eyes to the mirror. “Does that mean I owe him a seventh?”Silenc

Three months later, rain swept across the Moon Council’s winter summit.I had just left the assembly hall with several Silvercrest delegates when a man crossed the courtyard toward me. Two Council guards stopped him before he reached the covered steps.I recognized Kieran immediately.His coat was soaked, and exhaustion had sharpened his face. The control that once seemed inseparable from him had disappeared.“Mara.”I asked the other delegates to continue without me. The guards remained between us until I allowed Kieran to approach.“Talia has been removed from every council position,” he said. “Blackridge accepted responsibility for the duplicated proposal, and she no longer has access to Alpha House or my private link.”Those were the changes I had once begged him to make. Hearing them now stirred only weariness.Kieran held out the moonstone bracelet I had left behind.“I repaired it.”“I don’t want it.”His hand lowered.“I know I was wrong. I thought you were trying to control me

Three weeks after Mara left, Blackridge received a summons from the Moon Council.The pack’s finance chief entered Kieran’s office carrying a sealed ledger and placed it on his desk.“The Council has suspended our winter defense grant.”Kieran looked up. “For what reason?”“They found two submissions built from the same regional winter-defense model. Silvercrest submitted the first with Mara Ellison listed as its author and pilot director. Blackridge submitted the second six days later under Talia Mercer’s name.”Kieran opened the ledger.The models were nearly identical. Both contained the same patrol intervals, shelter calculations, and method for reinforcing mountain wards. Even Mara’s handwritten explanation of the emergency sequence appeared in both copies.Kieran recognized Mara’s writing.“Who authorized Blackridge’s submission?”The finance chief turned to the final page.“Your approval seal is attached.”Kieran stared at the silver wolf stamped beneath Talia’s name.He had app

Silvercrest Pack, eight in the morning.I stood before the territory council and touched the final mark on the map.“If we move the eastern watchtower uphill, the patrols will gain a clear view of both river crossings. The old tower can become a winter supply post, which keeps the project within budget.”The council members studied my proposal in silence.Then the man at the head of the table closed his report.Elias North, Alpha of Silvercrest, had approved my transfer after reviewing several boundary plans I completed for Blackridge.“The revised route cuts the response time by nearly twelve minutes and removes the blind section beside the lower ridge,” he said. “This is the version we’ll use.”No one questioned the decision because I came from another pack. No one removed my name from the report or treated my work as a favor I should feel grateful to provide.When the meeting ended, Elias stopped me near the door.“How has your first week been?”“Busy, but better than I expected.”“

Kieran called Mara immediately.The call would not connect.He reached for their private mind-link instead, but the familiar connection was gone.Mason set down his drink. “What did she say?”Kieran kept staring at the message.“She canceled the mating ceremony.”No one laughed.Talia stepped closer. “She may only want you to go after her. She was still packing at the cottage this morning.”Kieran grabbed his coat and left without answering.He drove to the cottage himself. The windows were dark, and no trace of Mara’s scent remained around the door. Even so, he unlocked it and called her name.Silence answered him.The rooms had been stripped of every sign that she lived there. Her boots were gone from the entryway, her books had disappeared from the shelves, and the blue blanket she always kept over the sofa was missing. In the bedroom, empty hangers swayed inside the wardrobe.Kieran stood among the spaces she had left behind and remembered the Council marks on her trunks.He had ne
