LOGINI couldn't break free, so I was dragged by him.Silas stepped forward in two strides and grabbed the hand Kaelen was using to tightly grip me, his voice fierce."She told you to let go. Didn't you hear her?"Silas's grip tightened relentlessly.After a stalemate, Kaelen finally let go.His hand was bruised purple from Silas's grip.Silas was truly strong."I tore up the agreement. I do not agree to the dissolution.""I've already submitted the digital copies to the Alpha Council and the Court. You signed it. It doesn't matter if you agree now; the agreement is just a copy for each party."Kaelen poked his tongue against the inside of his cheek and sneered."Seraphina, you say leave and you leave? Ten years of feelings, you say give up and you give up? And the pack? Who will manage the potions? That was our dream!"Kaelen was really adept at moral kidnapping.I took a deep breath and met his eyes."Ten years of feelings... was it me who gave up? No, it was you who found another woman, y
The scene from back then was still vivid in my mind.I felt like Silas's face had turned green with anger.On the way to the restaurant, Elder Thorne and I did most of the talking.Silas chimed in with a few sentences occasionally.When we arrived at the private room, my seniors enthusiastically handed me many gifts.I hadn't experienced such a warm atmosphere in a long time.After three rounds of drinks, I excused myself to go to the restroom.When I came out of the restroom, I saw my seniors pushing a cart with a cake towards the room.Silas was there too, looking anxious."Senior Leah, we can't have this cake.""Why?""Seraphina... she has severe trauma associated with birthday cakes. She can't eat them. She's stubborn about saving face, so she'll force herself to eat it to not be rude.""Oh no, does Seraphina have an issue with cake? Quick, hide it! Don't let her see it. It's my fault for not asking. If she sees it, she might think we're mocking her."Senior Leah hurriedly wheeled
In truth, I hadn't taken anything from the house.Everything there was more or less tainted with the scent of Kaelen and Elena.The thought of those things made me nauseous; I didn't want to touch them.Kaelen called out tentatively."Seraphina, are you home?""Seraphina?"Kaelen searched for me inside and outside the house.Then he frantically called his Beta assistant to track my location.The moment he hung up the phone, he turned on the living room lights.The gems on the wedding dress sparkled under the light.Kaelen's gaze was drawn to it.When he saw this dress, he had thought I would look beautiful in it.Before he could admire it, Kaelen noticed the Mating Dissolution Agreement.Because it involved many assets, the agreement was thick, mostly concerning my patents.I chose to leave with nothing, asking only that I could use my own inventions without paying royalties to his pack.I didn't want a penny.For Kaelen, this agreement was entirely to his benefit.I couldn't even thin
"We're sorry, the number you have dialed is disconnected..."No matter how many times Kaelen repeated the call, the result was the same mechanical voice.I had snapped the SIM card and thrown it in the trash.Naturally, I couldn't receive calls.He switched to messaging apps to text me.The red exclamation mark indicating "Message Failed" made his suppressed emotions explode on the spot.Kaelen furiously smashed his phone onto the marble floor.He ordered everyone to cancel the wedding.Seeing his anger, those who didn't know the inside story thought Alpha Kaelen was furious because his bride stood him up.Only I knew—he just felt he had lost face.Kaelen rushed back to the company headquarters in a hurry.Elena saw him in his tuxedo and looked jealous, completely missing his anxiety."You promised to make it up to me tonight, Alpha. Next time, I want a grand wedding like this too."Looking at Elena leaning in, Kaelen felt even more irritated, his voice laced with anger."Tsk, aren't y
Why choose the Sacred Moon church for a wedding?Years ago, while studying the ancient scrolls of the Goddess, I read a specific verse."What the Moon joins, let no wolf separate."The church has always upheld the sanctity of the bond: one life, one heart, one mate.When I first mated with Kaelen, we had nothing.No rings, no white dress, no dowry, not even the blessing of our families.I still remember what my mother said back then."If he really loved you, Seraphina, he would show some respect. What is this mating without a ceremony?"Young and headstrong, I immediately retorted."It's normal for us to be broke right after leaving the Academy.""Kaelen treats me well. He is ambitious. We won't end up like you and Dad!"My father's betrayal and my mother's subsequent broken bond were thorns in both our hearts.On the plane, I wondered countless times why Kaelen and I ended up exactly like them.Maybe my mother was right.When Kaelen had nothing, he chose the girl who asked for nothing
"Let's have a pup after the wedding tomorrow. Our bloodline truly needs an heir."After dropping that charitable promise, he grabbed his jacket and vanished into the night.I tossed the signed contract onto the expensive wedding dress and began packing my things.Tomorrow, I would be gone.Kaelen would never see me again.Seraphina, who brewed potions for him and guarded his home, would disappear completely.Kaelen didn't come back all night.I didn't call, and I didn't ask.Early the next morning, the convoy sent by my mentor was parked in the hidden back alley.Just as I was about to get in the car, I remembered I'd left my original thesis on the Silver Rot cure in the office.That was my intellectual property, and I wasn't about to leave it for them.As soon as I stepped into the building, employees looked at me with strange eyes, whispering incessantly.When I pushed open the door to my office, I understood the source of the weird atmosphere.Elena was sitting in my chair, playing
