All Chapters of Fate's Broken Bond: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My son Sylvan looked up at me with pitiful eyes as tears streamed down his cheeks. He insisted he couldn't sleep until he saw his dad tonight. If it hadn't been for that heartbreaking sight, I don't think I would have found myself standing at Lydia's door.I hesitated, my hand hovering over the door. This door always brought back painful memories.A year ago, I had been playing with Sylvan when a sharp, suffocating pain suddenly gripped my chest. When I came to, I found my mate, Kaelen, in bed with Lydia.The sting from my mate's betrayal hit me hard, and I blacked out."The Elders drugged me…," Kaelen had said, kneeling beside my sickbed, his voice desperate. "My brother—he was killed by rogues. He didn't have kids, so according to the pack's law…""So, you got into bed with your brother's mate?" I interrupted, my nails digging into my palms.He grabbed my wrist tightly. "It was only to have a pup! The Elders said that once Lydia is with pup, I'll fully inherit the Alpha posit

The next morning, I comforted Sylvan, who was once again upset because his father didn't join us for breakfast. As I was doing so, a familiar, irritating knock came at the door."The elders want to see you in the council hall."Before Kaelen and Lydia's affair started, the servants would still call me "Lady Violetta". But now, everything had changed. My place in the Grayswood Pack had become unclear. Even the lowest omega now looked down on me.When I arrived at the council hall, all the elders and nobles of the pack were already there.The elders smiled at Lydia and said, "Congratulations. The healer has confirmed Luna is with pup."I couldn't stop myself from looking at Kaelen. He stood there with Lydia's hand in his, his joy so obvious it made me sick.The most respected elder, Timothy, stepped forward and bowed to them. He lead all the others in formally pledging their loyalty to Kaelen as Alpha."Luna Lydia is the only one who can bear the true heir to Grayswood Pack," Timo

I wasn't sure if Lydia had something to do with it, but the healer Kaelen promised to call never showed up, and Kaelen himself never came to check on Sylvan.When Sylvan passed out, he was still conscious enough to understand. He knew his beloved father had given up on saving him."Sylvan, how about I find you a new daddy, hmm?" I asked softly.I wasn't set on remarrying, but if that's what Sylvan wanted, I was willing to find someone else for him.Sylvan glanced at the photo of Kaelen by his bedside. He was quiet for a long time before pulling at my sleeve."I don't care who my daddy is. I just want to be with you, Mommy."These last few days, I hadn't been hiding the fact that I had been in contact with my father. Sylvan knew I was planning to leave soon.The second-to-last day before I planned to leave, Kaelen finally returned.He had already forgotten the pain Sylvan had suffered, and he was practically glowing with excitement."The elders agreed!" he said, his voice full

After I gathered myself, I told my parents everything that had happened over the years.My father explained that after Isaac put me on the plane, he had gone back to Grayswood Pack to gather more information. According to the report, just before the ceremony began, Kaelen had suddenly felt a sharp, excruciating pain. The pain was so intense that he fell to his knees.It was the pain I had planned for him to feel—the kind that mimicked the agony a werewolf felt when they lost their mate. I had my father give him the medicine a few days ago, and it had triggered the reaction just at the right moment.Kaelen had obviously sensed it, but he refused to believe it. Filled with anxiety, he asked his subordinate, David, "Where's Violetta? Why isn't she and Sylvan here?"David hesitated before he spoke. "Alpha, Luna said no one was to disturb you for these three days. We wanted to tell you sooner, but..." He trailed off before delivering the shocking news. "There was a fire in the room wh

After Lydia's true identity was exposed, her status in Grayswood Pack dropped like a stone.For years, she'd used her "pureblood" noble status to push around the ordinary warriors. She had looked down on them, believing herself above them.Now, with everyone knowing she was only a half-blood—a mix of noble werewolf and commoner—those same people came forward, mocking her and throwing her past words in her face.The elders, who had once adored her, turned their backs. They demanded that she pay the price for her lies.All of this left Lydia terrified. She locked herself away in the castle, refusing to show her face. She could only hope that Kaelen might still care enough to defend her.Every day, she baked treats, trying to win him over. She even replaced all the housemaids, hoping it would somehow help her cause.One day, she approached Kaelen with a bright smile, ready to comfort him. But before she could even step into the room, she was quickly and roughly thrown out."Get out
