Chapter 9

"Absolutely not!"

Nom burst through the crowd, looking nothing like the confident guy he used to be. It had been so long since I had heard from him that I barely recognized him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, pulling my hand back.

He caught my questioning look and shrugged off his ragged coat, locking eyes with me.

"We're not mates anymore. You don't get a say in my life. Didn't you say no one loved Sarah more than you? Why didn't you go with her into exile? Guess you didn't love her enough, huh?"

I could not help but smirk as I teased my ex-mate with a playful jab.

Cradling a bouquet in one arm, I gave Oliver's head a gentle pat and hoisted him to his feet with my free hand.

Oliver squinted up at me as Nom blurted out, his voice tinged with desperation.

"Aeliana, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have doubted you or hurt you, but you've got to believe that I truly love you.

"I was blinded by Sarah's tricks. Can you find it in your heart to give me one more chance? I'll lov

    Digging up dirt on my ex-mate was a piece of cake.Oliver, clued in on all my past drama, went all out to look after me, stepping way over the line of just friends or boss and underling.That was when it hit me—he was trying to win me over.The folks at Moonlight Pack were easygoing and welcoming, making me feel right at home.I did not want to rock the boat, so I played dumb and snagged the spot as the Alpha's go-to healer.Seeing that I was missing the signs, Oliver could not keep it in any longer and steered the convo away from health stuff.He would pop a question about what I was into.I would reply, "How's that related to getting better?"His replies always cracked me up.Oliver always took things seriously, and he would say, "It matters a lot. Knowing what you like helps me sleep and eat better, and that has to be good for getting better, right?"That day, we went from chatting about our favorite things to our hobbies, and then to our dreams.Before I knew it, he had

    I flipped open the forest map I had cherished for ages. I had touched that map so much over so many nights that its colors had faded.It was a present from the soon-to-be Alpha of the Moonlight Pack, back when we were trading with other packs.Packs like ours traded with each other all the time, swapping goods and stuff.As one of the few healers in the Silver Wolf Pack, I was always patching up our hunters after Nom's hunting trips.Then, one time, I ended up saving the Moonlight Pack's next-in-line by pure chance, and he gave me that map as thanks.We used to write to each other a lot, and he even invited me over to his place. However, Nom found out and made me cut him off.I never thought that Oliver, who was just another heir like Nom back then, would end up running the Moonlight Pack.I figured with me being an outcast and all, he would look down on me like my own people did.However, even after all those years, he welcomed me with open arms and actually cared about what I

    I stepped out of the council's negotiation room and headed back to the inn where I was staying.I was dead sure about the evidence I handed over nailing Sarah's guilt.The witness had confessed, which is why the council was so sure when they shot down Nom.Sarah was going down.All I was waiting for was how hard they would hit her with the sentence.While I waited, I made up my mind to ditch that place of lies and mapped out my escape.Once they finished with Sarah, I would be hitting the road.Meanwhile, I started reaching out to the old Pack members.Back when Sarah took out my parents, I led our rudderless crew to join the Silver Wolf Pack.I was plotting to bail and find us a better place, hoping to bring them along for the ride.The house closest to mine belonged to Lydia, my childhood playmate. She was part of the Silver Wolf Pack too, having married one of their fighters.When I knocked on her door, the awkwardness from our time apart was almost tangible.Before I co

    The Council did not waste time, dragging Nom in the next day to get his side of the story.I did not bother going back home after that.Nom had not seen me for several days, so he had to ask the members of the Council about my situation. His delayed concern and check-ins came off as almost laughable.The Beta, buried in paperwork, shook his head and said, "For an heir who's supposed to know better, getting tangled up with the prime suspect in the murder of your mate's parents during her pregnancy? You've ditched loyalty. Heh, you've got it coming—getting the Mate Bond axed."Nom was floored when he got wind that I was expecting.He stumbled back, haunted by the image of me in the hospital, clutching my stomach. He just stood there, shell-shocked, like he had been hit by a freight train.The Beta, no stranger to that drama, slid the Mate Bond-breaking potion across the table without a hint of warmth.Nom could not stop shaking his head, still reeling from the wolf pup incident.

    The awkward moment passed, and the ceremony went on without a hitch.I settled into a seat in the lounge area, no longer the warm host I used to be, but a silent observer.In a dull moment, I let my eyes fall and could not shake the feeling that my life up to then had been one big, sad joke.I was about to slip away when a pair of high heels stepped into my line of sight.Sarah towered over me, her gaze sizing me up. In a hushed tone meant for my ears alone, she dropped the act."Aeliana, just look at you, all pathetic. Even with everything you've done for the pack, what good did it do? You're just as disposable as ever. You remind me of those two old fools in the Sacred Forest Rite, begging for mercy right before they died. A family affair, indeed."She paused, an icy smile playing on her lips."That old Alpha was no fool. He was hard to trick, but I had a plan. I wore your clothes, made them think you were the one breaking sacred ground. Just like that, they met their end."I
