The heavy doors of the Council Hall boomed shut, sealing us inside the Sanctum of Severance.

The chamber was cold and empty. The stage was set for the final act.

The Elder stood behind the altar, his ancient eyes seeming to absorb the moonlight. "The moon is at its zenith," his voice echoed. "The time has come to finish what was started. This ritual will purge the last remnants of the soul-bond. It will be absolute. Do you have any last words?"

    The heavy doors of the Council Hall boomed shut, sealing us inside the Sanctum of Severance. The chamber was cold and empty. The stage was set for the final act.The Elder stood behind the altar, his ancient eyes seeming to absorb the moonlight. "The moon is at its zenith," his voice echoed. "The time has come to finish what was started. This ritual will purge the last remnants of the soul-bond. It will be absolute. Do you have any last words?"Rhys, his pride shattered, looked desperately at Kenna."Kenna, please... let's start over, okay?""Start over?" Kenna's laugh was sharp in the dead silence. "Rhys, do you really think you can start over after a betrayal like that?""I didn't betray you!" he argued weakly. "I was just... I was deceived...""Deceived?" Kenna's voice grew colder. "When our pup's life depended on Moonflower Dew, you were mixing supplements for Lilah's dog. Was that not a betrayal?"Rhys opened his mouth, but no words came out."When Evelyn was dying, you said she

    The first call came just after midnight.Kenna answered. An excited voice burst through the speaker."Kenna! You did it! The Northern Alliance Alphas just held an emergency meeting! They saw everything!"I sat up, my heart pounding."And?" Kenna asked."They're furious! The Silver Moon Alpha immediately went on the PackNet and publicly tore up all treaties with the Dark Moon pack. He said, 'An Alpha who can't even protect his own heir and shelters a murderer isn't worthy of an alliance'! The Iron Claw pack also announced they're pulling all their warriors from the Dark Moon mines and terminating the Moonstone trade agreement!"The voice grew more excited. "More packs are following! They're saying Cade is compromised, that he can't separate his personal feelings from his duty! They're saying his position as Alpha is unstable!"Kenna and I exchanged a look of grim satisfaction.For the next few hours, the PackNet was in an uproar.The scandal of Cade protecting a murderer was the headlin

    "Get out." My voice was ice. "Get out of my house.""Evelyn, let me explain..."SLAM!I slammed the door and locked it, leaving him on the other side.I heard him pounding on the door. "Evelyn! Open the door! We can talk about this!"I walked to the bedroom and ignored him.Kenna watched me, her eyes full of sympathy. "Are you okay?""I'm fine," I said, my voice dead calm. "I see everything clearly now."The next morning, the doorbell rang.It wasn't Cade. It was a servant in a black uniform."Lady Evelyn, this is the Deepsea Moonglow fish Alpha Cade ordered for you. It was just flown in from the Eastern Isles. It’s said to soothe a wolf’s spirit."I glanced at the shimmering fish, then shut the door in his face."Throw it out," I told Kenna.At noon, a Hundred-Year Ice Lotus from the Snowpeak Mountains arrived."A holy relic for healing female wolves. The Alpha said you would like it."I refused it.In the afternoon, it was Elven Berries from the Old Continent.At night, a priceless b

    The memory crystal shattered on the stone, exploding in a shower of spectral blue light that pulsed in the air.Shocking images flickered to life.There was Lilah, standing in a dark basement, a cattle prod in her hand.A half-dozen emaciated Omega wolves were chained to the walls with rune-etched irons, their bodies covered in wounds."Bad dogs need to be punished." Lilah's voice was cold, cruel. "You filthy half-breeds aren't even worthy of being lab rats."She flicked the switch. Blue electricity arced across the prod.A young Omega cried out in agony."Please... we haven't eaten in three days..." a female Omega begged."Better if you starve," Lilah sneered. "Your existence is a waste of air."The scene shifted.Lilah was instructing one of her men. "Send this package to the bitch. And make sure it's covered in Rogue scent.""Miss, what if they find out...""They won't," Lilah said, her eyes glinting with malice. "The stupid cow is pregnant. She'll never withstand a Rogue threat.

    The shards of Cade’s shattered phone glinted on the stone steps. He collapsed right onto the sharp edges."No... impossible..." His voice was a choked whisper. "My heir... my son..."I watched him, feeling nothing but cold emptiness.A terrifying calm settled over me. "You know now?""It's too late, Cade."He snapped his head up, his eyes swimming with despair and regret. "Evelyn, I'm sorry. I didn't know... I thought you were lying... I'm so sorry..."Kenna let out a bitter laugh. "If 'sorry' was enough, what would we need Pack Law for?"I turned my back on him and walked toward Maya's car. I couldn't stand the sight of him.Cade stumbled to his feet, trying to follow. "Evelyn, let me come with you... he's my son, too...""You have no right." My voice sliced through his hope. "You stopped being his father the moment he needed that Moonflower Dew and you weren't there."Maya started the car as Kenna and I got in.In the rearview mirror, I saw Cade and Rhys get into another car.And Lil

    Cade’s voice in the mind-link turned cold and furious."Vicious," he snarled. "How can your jealousy run so deep you'd curse our own son? How could you say something like that?"I stared into the darkness, my heart pounding."Curse him?" I trembled through the link. "Cade, he was our son! How could I ever curse him?""You're cursing him right now!" Cade's voice dripped with disgust. "Saying he's dead? That you almost died? Your jealousy has made you insane, Evelyn!"My heart broke into a million pieces.He didn't even believe our son was dead."Fine." My voice was terrifyingly calm. "Cade, I'm giving you one last chance.""What?""Be at the Elders' council tomorrow with Rhys and agree to the rejection," each word was an icicle. "Or I will expose your affair with Lilah to the entire Northern Pack Alliance."There was dead silence on the link.A few seconds later, Cade's panicked voice returned. "You can't do that!""Why not?" I sneered. "It's the truth, isn't it?""That would destroy he
