She Promised Forever Then Marked Him Chapter 17
Rhys's POV“You can.”My answer stunned everyone in the room.“Rhys?” Ilana looked at me, her eyes questioning.“If you want to come, you can come,” I said to Zarya. “But only to watch.”A flicker of light appeared in Zarya’s eyes. “Thank you.”The next morning, the doctor allowed Zarya to leave the hospital for a few hours.“But not for long,” he warned. “The silver poison isn’t completely purged.”Ilana had a formal invitation and a ceremonial moonstone brooch sent over for her.It was the highest courtesy for a guest.At 3 PM, the ceremony began.The location was beside the oldest Moon Spring in Switzerland.We were surrounded by the Alps, the snow-capped peaks glittering in the sun. The spring water was clear as a mirror, glowing with a soft, silver light.I wore traditional white ceremonial robes and a crown woven from laurel blossoms.Ilana wore a deep blue Alpha gown, the golden crest of the Sunstone Pack pinned to her chest.The Guild’s Head Elder officiated.“In the sight of t

Rhys's POVTime crawled.My world narrowed to the flash of silver. A snarl. A scream of my name. And then—her.She slammed into me, a shield made of flesh and bone. The wolfsbane-laced blade, meant for me, sank into her chest. The sound was wet, final.“No—!”She collapsed into my arms, blood instantly soaking her white shirt.The silver poison began to spread, her skin turning pale before my eyes.“Zarya!” I held her, my hands frantically channeling my healing energy, trying to fight the toxin, my voice shaking with terror. “Why did you—”Through our bond, long broken but now forced open by the razor’s edge of death, I felt the two years of repressed regret and desperation she had carried.“Run…” she choked, blood frothing at her lips. “They’ll… come back…”The two attackers, rogues by their scent, froze, their faces paling as they recognized Zarya.“Alpha!” one of them stammered. “We didn’t mean to hurt you—”“Get out,” Zarya’s voice, though weak, still held absolute command. “If I s

Rhys's POV“It’s too late,” I said, looking down at Zarya, who stood before me like a supplicant.“For five years, you never truly loved me,” I began, ticking off her sins one by one.“You never once gave me a moonstone—the simplest symbol of affection between mates. You thought it was an unnecessary formality.”“My passions, my talents… you treated them as a boring hobby.”“You defiled the most sacred rite of our people, a bond blessed by the Goddess, for a pathetic, calculated lie.”Every word was a silver knife, twisting in her heart.“I… I didn’t think those things were important…”“Exactly. They weren’t important to you,” I looked down at her. “Let's be clear, Zarya. You don't miss me. You miss what I represented. You miss the idea of me. Your perfect, obedient Head Mate. You're not mourning a lost love. You're mourning your broken pride.”She looked up at me, the light in her eyes finally extinguished.“Let’s both keep some dignity and go our separate ways,” I said, heading for t

Rhys's POV“I have no need to save my ex-mate.”My voice was crisp in the silent hall.The blood drained from Zarya’s face.“Let’s go,” I said, taking Ilana’s hand to leave.“Wait!” Zarya called after us, her voice breaking with desperation. “Please, give me a chance!”I didn’t look back.Ilana drove me back to my parents’ house.“Are you okay?” she asked, her voice full of concern.“I’m fine,” I said, watching the city lights flash by. “I just didn’t expect to see her.”“We can go back to Switzerland early if you’re not comfortable.”“No,” I said, turning to her. “I won’t let anyone change my plans.”Ilana smiled gently. “That’s why I love you.”She stopped at my parents’ house, and I gave her a light kiss on the cheek before getting out.The moment I opened the door, I froze.There was someone sitting in the living room.Zarya.“Rhys!” my mother said, standing up. “You’re back.”I looked at Zarya on the sofa, my voice ice. “What are you doing here?”“I let her in,” my father said. “S

Rhys's POVTwo years later.I was back in New York.Not for Zarya, but for the Global Supernatural Healers Summit.It was the pinnacle of my career.“Rhys!” Cole ran over and hugged me. “God, you look amazing!”It was true. I had changed.Two years of research had pushed my abilities to new heights.I was now the youngest Master Healer in the Guild’s history.More importantly, I had found peace.“So who’s the ‘we’?” Cole asked with a wink.I turned just as Ilana walked toward us.She wore a perfectly tailored black suit, her smile as warm as ever.“This is Ilana,” I said, my voice clear and steady as I took her hand. “My research partner… and my life partner. My chosen mate.”Cole looked from me to her, a flicker of understanding in his eyes. “You two…”“Yes,” I said, holding Ilana’s hand. “We’re together.”The celebration dinner was held at New York’s most luxurious hotel.The hall was filled with familiar faces.“If I could have your attention, please,” I said, raising my glass. “I h

Zarya's POVAn hour later, I burst into the resort.Soren was lying in bed, reading a book.His face filled with panic when he saw me.“Zarya? What are you—”“The Blood Moon night,” I cut him off. “Five years ago.”His face went white. “What… what are you talking about?”“Who. Saved. Me?” I asked, enunciating every word.“It was me, of course…” his voice trembled.“Liar!” I roared. “I saw the memory crystal!”Soren’s book fell to the floor.“I… I helped…” he stammered. “We saved you together…”I walked toward him, staring into the eyes I had once thought were so kind.Now all I saw was fear and deceit.“Did you know he almost died saving me?”“I… I didn’t know he would use so much…”“You knew!” my voice was ice. “You knew he loved me, you knew he would do anything to save me, so you let him go first! Then you made sure you were the first person I saw when I woke up. You even erased my memory of him healing me!”All the ugly truths were laid bare.The report Rhys had thrown in my face f
