Nora’s POV I stared at the cracked mirror, brushing down the pale blue dress I borrowed from the kitchen maid. It was nothing fancy. My hair was pinned back. No makeup. My shoes didn’t even match. But I still smiled. Because I wasn’t just any girl tonight. I was his. Alpha Kade. My mate. We had kept it a secret. He said it wasn’t the right time to tell anyone. He said people wouldn’t understand. That an omega couldn’t be Luna—not yet. But soon. Very soon. He’d hold me in his arms and whisper, “Soon, Nora. Just wait for me.” So I waited. And tonight, in front of the whole pack, he would finally say my name. I clutched the pendant he gave me,a small silver moon, the only thing I had that was truly mine. My hands shook, but my heart was full. He wouldn’t betray me. He couldn’t. Not after everything we shared. Not after all the nights I lay in his arms, thinking maybe… maybe I was finally enough. The hall sparkled with lights. Music. Laughter. Warriors danced with their mates. She-wolves in silk dresses twirled around the room. No one noticed when I slipped in from the back. But my eyes searched for him. There. Alpha Kade. Standing proud. Cold. Perfect. In a black suit with silver buttons that gleamed under the light. He looked around the room—and then… his eyes met mine. I waited for the smile. For the nod. For anything that said “I see you.” But he looked away. Just like that. I frowned. Maybe he was nervous. Maybe he was pretending for the crowd. I moved closer. But I see my best friend. Clara. I moved closer, my heart pounding. She was standing beside him… like she belonged there. Her dress was deep red. Her hair curled to perfection. Her lips painted like blood. She smiled at him. And then,he smiled back. My heart stopped. Kade raised his hand. “Tonight,” he said, “I will name the one chosen by the Moon Goddess to be my mate… and Luna of the Shadowfang Pack.” I reached for my pendant again. Please. Please let it be me. He stepped aside. Clara stepped forward. And he held her hand. I couldn’t breathe. What? No. No. This wasn’t right. This wasn’t real. “This,” Kade said, “is the she-wolf I’ve chosen.” The room erupted in cheers. But all I heard was the sound of my world breaking. Clara turned her head, and looked right at me. She knew. She knew everything. She was the one I told about the kisses, the late-night visits, the promise of tonight. She knew. And she still took him. My legs moved before my mind caught up. I stepped into the open. “Kade,” I whispered, “what are you doing?” His jaw clenched. I took another step. “You said I was yours. You said…” “I never said anything,” he snapped, voice like ice. A few people turned to stare. “You’re lying,” I choked out. “We—we were together. You…” “That was a mistake,” he said. “A game.” Tears filled my eyes. “But the bond. You felt it. You marked me—” He laughed. “Mark you? An omega?” His eyes were cruel. “You really believed you were anything more than a warm body?” I flinched. “You were convenient,” he said sharply. “That’s all.” The crowd gasped. Clara didn’t even flinch. “I, Alpha Kade of Shadowfang Pack, reject you as my mate.” The room spun. No. Please no. “You’re not worthy. You’re not Luna. And from this moment on… you’re nothing.” I shook my head, choking on sobs. “You loved me…” “No,” he said coldly. “I used you. Now up to you guards, drag her out I ran. Out of the hall. Into the cold. Past the people who laughed. Past the guards who turned their faces. No one stopped me. No one cared. Not even him. Not even her. I collapsed at the edge of the forest, knees sinking into the mud. The moon above looked down like a silent witness. I gripped my pendant and screamed. Not for him. But for the version of me who had believed. Who had trusted. Who had loved too much. And as the wind howled through the trees, I whispered through broken lips— “Why did you give me to him, Moon Goddess… why?”Chapter 132 - It HurtAxel’s POVDays have passed since she left…but to me, it feels like years.The packhouse is quiet now. Too quiet.No laughter, no footsteps, no soft humming from the servant quarters.Only silence — heavy, painful silence that eats me from the inside.I sit on the floor of my room, surrounded by shattered glass and torn curtains. I don’t even remember when I destroyed them. Maybe last night. Maybe the night before. Time doesn’t make sense anymore.I haven’t eaten. I haven’t slept. Every time I close my eyes, I see her face — the way she looked at me before she left. Those eyes… filled with pain and disbelief.She said she didn’t want me.That she didn’t care anymore.But I do.Gods, I do.I thought I could live without her. I thought pushing her away would make everything easier. But now… every breath feels like punishment.The food they bring me sits untouched. The bed feels like a stranger’s place. The mirror shows a man I no longer recognize — hollow eyes, me
Chapter-131 - The BondNora’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the ceiling made of rough wood. The smell of herbs filled the air. My body felt heavy, my throat dry, and my lips cracked. For a moment, I didn’t remember where I was… until the memories came rushing back — Axel’s face, his tears, his voice breaking as I walked away.I squeezed my eyes shut. No. I didn’t want to remember.The door creaked open, and an old woman walked in, holding a bowl of steaming soup. Her hair was silver, tied into a neat bun, and her eyes were calm — too calm for someone who lived alone in the middle of nowhere.“You’re awake,” she said softly. “Don’t try to move too much. You were nearly frozen when I found you by the riverbank.”She set the bowl beside me and helped me sit up. Her touch was gentle but firm, like she’d done this many times before.I tried to speak, but only a whisper came out. “Where… am I?”“My hut,” she said. “Name’s Mira. You’ve been sleeping for three days.”T
Chapter 130 : The Pull I Can’t EscapeHer POVThe forest was quiet. Too quiet. The only sound I could hear was the rustle of dry leaves under my bare feet and the soft whisper of the wind that brushed against my face. My body felt heavy, my legs trembling with every step I took, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.I didn’t even know where I was going anymore. I just wanted to keep walking , far away from the pack house, far away from him. From everything.The cold bit into my skin. My clothes were still damp from the river, and each gust of wind made me shiver. My stomach twisted painfully, but hunger didn’t matter. Pain didn’t matter. Nothing mattered anymore.“I’m free now,” I whispered to myself, my voice breaking in the quiet night. “I’m free…”But the words felt hollow. Empty.If freedom meant being alone, starving, and lost, then why did my heart ache so much? Why did every step feel like I was walking away from something that still held a piece of me?I stumbled, catching myself aga
Chapter 129 - It’s wrong Axel’s POVThe moment Nora walked out, something inside me broke.The room felt colder. The air felt heavier. Even my heartbeat sounded wrong , empty, slow, painful.I stood there, frozen, staring at the door she used to leave. I wanted to run after her, to fall on my knees and beg, but my legs refused to move. My wolf howled inside me, crying her name again and again.“Nora… please don’t go…”But she was gone.I walked around the room like a ghost. Her scent still lingered in the air — soft, warm, and sweet, just like her. It only made things worse. I pressed my hands to my chest, trying to breathe, but it hurt too much.How could she leave me like this?How could I have pushed her so far that leaving was her only choice?I sat on the floor beside the bed she used to sleep on. My hand brushed against the blanket — still warm. I picked it up and held it close to my face. I could almost imagine her voice, her laughter, the way she looked at me when she thought
Chapter 128 — I Don’t Want You AnymoreNora’s POVThe morning light touched my face softly, but my heart still felt heavy.I opened my eyes slowly and looked around the small room. Axel was sitting beside my bed again, just like he had done since he brought me here.His eyes were red, tired… guilty.When he noticed I was awake, he rushed to me. “Nora,” he said, his voice shaking. “How are you feeling now? Does it still hurt?”I didn’t answer.I just sat up quietly and pulled my hand away from his.There was silence. Only the sound of our breathing filled the room.“I remember everything now,” he continued, his voice breaking. “Every word, every touch, every tear I made you cry. I can’t forgive myself. Please… don’t leave me. Give me a chance to make it right.”I closed my eyes for a moment, holding back the tears that burned behind them.“Axel…” My voice came out weak. “Even if you didn’t remember me, why were you so wicked?”He froze. His lips parted, but no words came.“You threw m
Chapter 127— RealHer POVWhen I opened my eyes again, everything felt distant , the air, the light, even my own heartbeat. My body felt heavy, my lips dry, and the faint scent of herbs hung in the air. For a moment, I thought I had woken up in the afterlife. But then I saw him.Axel.He was sitting beside me, his head bowed, both hands holding mine tightly like he was afraid I would disappear. His eyes were red , not from anger this time, but from crying. I could see it. My heart ached and twisted at the sight.For a second, I wanted to pull my hand away. I wanted to turn my face from him and pretend I was still unconscious. But my fingers twitched on their own, weakly moving in his grip.“Nora…” his voice came out in a broken whisper, so soft that I barely heard him. “You’re awake.”He sounded like someone who had been holding his breath for days. When our eyes met, I saw everything he was feeling — guilt, pain, confusion, and something else… something deeper.I turned my face away
