    Kade still wouldn't leave.He stood guard outside my door. He wouldn't budge.I exported the high-res scan of my painting. I officially submitted my piece for the competition.While I waited two weeks for the results, Leo brought a bouquet of fresh flowers at the same time every day.Kade spent an absolute fortune. He hired a massive drone swarm to perform a light show over the lake every night.The dazzling lights lit up half the night sky. But they could no longer light up the future between me and Kade.At the end of every performance, a giant "I'm sorry" would appear in the sky.The innkeeper sipped a cold beer. She pushed a plate of nuts toward me."This Alpha's display is even grander than when he pursued you back then. Do you really not feel anything at all?"I looked through the window. I glanced at the tall man staring eagerly outside. I picked up the paintbrush next to me."I don't feel anything. Now, I only want to take control of my own life.""I will never trap myself in a

    The makeup artist was highly skilled. A soft brush swept across my cheeks.I looked at my reflection in the mirror. My thoughts drifted back to ten years ago.Back then, I always curled up in Kade's broad arms without any makeup on.He would lower his head and kiss the scars on my neck and collarbone. He promised in his deep voice that he would love me forever, no matter what I turned into.But what happened later? He complained that I didn't take care of myself. He said I dressed like a nanny. Then he turned around and praised Ruby for looking youthful and energetic.For this tenth anniversary trip, I got facials every week. I hired a personal trainer. I even strictly followed a meal plan.I wanted to fade my scars. I wanted him to look at me again.It turned out to be completely useless.I smiled bitterly. I picked up my phone and took a picture of the makeup artist adjusting my dress.Kade and Leo found out the address from somewhere. They tracked me down to the boutique.When they

    Kade closed the distance in a few strides. He pulled me into his arms without a word.He held me so tight. It felt like he was afraid I would disappear.Cold drops fell onto my neck. They landed right on my scar.He buried his face in my shoulder. His voice trembled."Don't reject me, please."Leo squeezed to my side. He gripped my fingers. His eyes were red and wet."Mom, don't abandon me and Dad."On the flight to Moonstone Lake, I had imagined how this Alpha father and son would react when they found I was gone.They would probably think I was throwing a tantrum again just to get their attention.I used to hate their cold treatment. I hated their arrogance. I also hated how they favored Ruby without any limits.I thought that when we met again, I would lash out and curse at them. I thought I would tell them to get out of my world.But now, my heart felt completely empty.Right now, they were just two annoying strangers to me.Kade's warm breath brushed against my collarbone. I only

    It was just dawn when my plane landed at the small airport by Moonstone Lake.Marla, the innkeeper, drove over to pick me up herself. She was an old fan of mine. She used to follow my art exhibitions ten years ago.She stuffed my luggage into the trunk. She looked behind me."Where are your Alpha and your pup?""Didn't you say you were coming to the lake to retake wedding photos for your tenth anniversary?"I smiled gently. I explained to her in a light tone."I just signed the rejection papers."The innkeeper gasped in disbelief. She couldn't help but ask."Kade spent a fortune to pursue you back then. The month you said yes to his proposal, massive bonfires burned for you every night at Moonstone Lake.""He even kneeled before the Moon Goddess statue and swore never to abandon you in this life. How did you two end up breaking the bond?"Our love back then was passionate. It felt like it would last forever.All the wolves settled at Moonstone Lake knew that Alpha Kade deeply loved his

    Kade walked over slowly. His posture slumped with every step.He flipped open the rejection papers.At the bottom, Cora's signature was clean and sharp. Not a single stroke wavered.The mate bond in his chest was fraying bit by bit.It was pulling away. Little by little, from her end.He finally understood what this fight meant.The master bedroom door opened. Ruby came out rubbing her eyes."Did my sister pack her bags yet? Tell her to make breakfast from scratch. We'll leave after eating."Normally, Kade would immediately order Cora to the kitchen. Leo would impatiently rush his mother to hurry up.But today, the father and son stared blankly at the coffee table. Neither of them paid her any attention.Ruby frowned. She started complaining out of habit."Kade, didn't you hear me? I'm hungry."Memories of Cora's mornings flashed before Kade's eyes.Ruby was incredibly picky. She wanted freshly baked bread. The jam had to be homemade.Cora suffered from insomnia because of her injured

    The morning light stung his eyes. Kade instinctively nudged the person beside him."Cora, close the blinds."An unfamiliar, sickly sweet scent hit his nose. He snapped his eyes open.It wasn't his mate.Ruby lay on his pillow. Her hair was splayed everywhere.He recoiled like he'd been burned. He threw off the blanket and rolled out of bed.Thank the Goddess. His pajamas were perfectly neat. Ruby was wrapped in her own robe.He hadn't done anything to betray Cora.The noise woke Leo. The little pup was cranky. He snuggled into Ruby's arms out of habit."Mom, let me sleep a little longer."But a second later, he focused on the face in front of him. Leo burst into tears."Why is it you, Aunt Ruby?"The noise gave Ruby a headache. She kicked Leo off the bed.Kade couldn't grab him in time. He watched helplessly as Leo tumbled off the edge. His forehead smacked the solid wooden bedpost. A dark bruise swelled up instantly.He scooped up his son. He fought to suppress the anger in his voice.
