تسجيل الدخولThree days after Theodore marked me, I took the three million his mother offered. Then I aborted our pup and forced our mate bond apart. Outside the operating room, he howled until he spat blood, begging me not to be so cruel. He said he would hate me for the rest of his life. Seven years later, we met again at an auction. A beautiful, docile she-wolf was sitting beside him. I'd come to the auction for the moonlight grass. But Theodore kept raising his paddle, snatching up the very lot I was bidding on. He took the moonlight grass, dropped it in front of me, and crushed it into the dirt with his heel. He said, "Anything you want, I'll destroy." He didn't know. The moonlight grass could save my pup's life. His pup, too.

The Black Iron Pack would not eat this shame.They declared that if Theodore insisted on marking me as his Luna, they would go to war.Troops gathered at the border. The shadow of war fell across both packs.The Crimson Flame elders met for a full day. They came to a decision.They demanded Theodore complete the political mating with the Black Iron Pack. End the war before it started.Theodore smiled. He shifted. He let out the Alpha aura.The pressure made the elders' bones creak.One couldn't take it. He went to his knees. Then another. Then another.Every one of them was on the floor, sweating."War or peace, that decision is mine. Not yours.""I'll say this one more time. The last time.""I am going to mark Emma again.

I'll adopt him.""Don't worry. I'll treat him like my own. He can even call me Mommy."She smiled.
