**Alpha Ethan Blackwood’s POV**

His mother’s sudden collapse had thrown the entire estate into a panic, and the reality of their situation had crashed down on Ethan with terrifying speed. Because Doctor Jean had flatly refused to set foot on Blackwood land, Ethan had been forced to mount his swiftest stallion, ride desperately to the Royal Capital, and personally pull a high-ranking royal healer back to the territory.

Now, Ethan stood anxiously at the foot of his mother's bed, watching the r

    **Alpha Ethan Blackwood’s POV** "Mother, that is enough!" Ethan snapped, his sharp voice cutting through Brenda’s vindictive sneering. A heavy, uncomfortable silence descended upon the council chamber. Ethan looked around the room, noting the tight jaws and downcast eyes of his senior elders. They were standing there, saying absolutely nothing, because deep down, they already felt a profound wave of guilt. They knew Brenda was maliciously twisting words to justify an ugly theft. Ethan rubbed his temples, a splitting headache forming behind his eyes. He hadn't wanted this to turn into a vulgar public execution. All he wanted was to get over with this quickly, dissolve the bond, and immediately prepare the ceremony to make Maris his official mate and Luna. As for Lane’s money... Ethan’s stomach twisted. He hadn't wanted to touch a single copper of her inheritance. But Maris's sharp warnings from the night before kept ringing in his ears. Maris had explicitly told him to secure the

  • The First Luna    Chapter 17

    **Alpha Ethan Blackwood’s POV** The moment the final syllable of the rejection left his lips, it felt as though a physical blade had been driven into Ethan's chest and violently twisted. A profound, suffocating hollow opened up inside his soul, a sudden, terrifying emptiness that made his breath catch in his throat. It was as if a vital, irreplaceable piece of his very being had been ripped away. Trembling on one knee, he forced himself to look up, expecting to see Lane shattered, weeping, or looking at him with the desperation of a abandoned female. But all he saw was a wall of absolute ice. Lane stood before him, her expression completely smooth and entirely emotionless. There wasn't a single tear in her silver-tinted eyes. There wasn't a flicker of regret on her beautiful face. Seeing her utter indifference, a wave of bitter resentment washed through Ethan, helping him push down the agony in his chest. He quickly masked his pain, gritting his teeth as he forced himself back to

    Lane stood perfectly still, her silver-tinted eyes shifting from the elders to rest directly on Brenda. The silence in the room stretched thin, suffocating and tense, until Lane finally spoke, her voice flat and cold. "And what of the assets I brought with me into this marriage?" Lane asked, her gaze piercing. "The dowry, the infrastructure investments, the personal vaults. What happens to them once the bond is broken?" Brenda let out a sharp, greedy laugh, leaning forward in her seat with a look of smug triumph. "What happens to them? The Blackwood Pack will be retaining seventy percent of your assets, of course! You came into our home, you disrupted our peace, and you practically tried to kill me by pulling my healer away. Consider it the rightful tax for the shelter and protection we wasted on you this past year!" "Seventy percent?!" Elder Raymond’s voice exploded through the chamber like a clap of thunder. He surged to his feet, his massive, ancient Alpha aura flaring so viole

    The air in the grand courtyard leading to the Elders’ Council chamber was unexpectedly calm, carrying the crisp, sweet scent of mountain pine and wild lilies. But the serenity did not deceive Lane. She walked with a steady, unhurried stride, her dark green gown sweeping the stone floor, until she rounded the final pillar near the entrance and caught sight of Ethan. He was standing near the heavy oak doors, completely absorbed in a small, crumpled piece of parchment in his hands. He was reading it under his breath, his voice catching in the quiet air: *"...make sure to take Lane's half of her money."* The words struck Lane with a sudden, silent sharpness. A cold ache bloomed in the center of her chest, and it would be a lie if she said she hadn't held even the slightest, most fragile shred of hope that a year of fated mating meant something to Ethan. To hear him standing outside a sacred council, actively calculating how to rob her on the orders of his mistress, finally turned that

  • The First Luna    Chapter 14

    **Alpha Ethan Blackwood’s POV** The private war room of the Blackwood main estate was suffocatingly tense as Ethan stood before his immediate family and inner circle. He had gathered them to formally lay out the strategy for the following evening. "Tomorrow night, before the Elders' Council, I am formally dissolving the mate bond with Lane," Ethan announced, his voice echoing off the stone walls. He intentionally kept the part about banishment to himself. He had only threatened Lane with exile to scare her a little, to shake her out of her unyielding arrogance and force her to bring Doctor Jean back. Despite his burning anger, he wasn't a monster; he wasn't actually going to cast her out into the wild to be torn apart with no home to her name. He just needed her to be compliant again. Brenda leaned back in her chair, a smug, sickly sweet smile returning to her pale face. "Oh, Ethan, you are doing a magnificent job. That ungrateful girl has caused nothing but chaos and disrespect

Because Doctor Jean had flatly refused to set foot on Blackwood land, Ethan had been forced to mount his swiftest stallion, ride desperately to the Royal Capital, and personally pull a high-ranking royal healer back to the territory. Now, Ethan stood anxiously at the foot of his mother's bed, watching the royal healer pack away his glowing instruments. Brenda lay pale and wheezing against her pillows, her breathing shallow and ragged. The healer straightened up, letting out a heavy, defeated sigh. "Alpha Ethan, I have tried everything within my power to stabilize her, but my treatments are only acting as a temporary shield. The only reason my medicines are having any effect at all is because Doctor Jean’s specialized prescriptions have been fortifying her system for the past year. Her lungs have
