Semua Bab Fated bonds: Her Cure, His Regret: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Ashley’s P.O.V.Regardless of my shock to see Cassidy standing in front of me, Luna Rose introduced her to me as if I was meeting her for the first time. Her voice was filled with pride as she spoke warmly.“I thought we should hire the best planner for your ceremony. Someone who’s been trained in elegance and pack etiquette since birth. So, Cassidy is our best choice.”I gawked at the woman before, barely believing my eyes. In a glance, one could say it’s Cassidy, but that would be a lie to say that this was the normal version of her. Her once silky-smooth hair was dull and frizzy, chopped unevenly just below her shoulders. Her flawless skin was now pale and drawn, with faint shadows of sleepless nights under her eyes. Cassidy’s signature confident stride had faded into something more cautious.She wore a modest beige dress, cinched at the waist. No heels, no jewelry, no make-up, no defiance in her eyes. It was like she went through a complete metamorphosis after our last meeting. A

Ashley’s P.O.V.My breath hitched as I staggered backwards, the nausea climbing my throat like Ivy. It was like my soul was trapped under the layers of pain and hunger. My vision blurred, and I stumbled to the chair by vanity. Every inch of my body was burning, aching with need. For him!The wave of heat tightened like a rope around my heart. Pressing the back of my hand to my mouth, I tried to focus.“What’s happening to me?”I knew that the first heat was rogue, compromising the proper functioning of the brain in some cases. But I felt normal during the day, and we had coitus in the afternoon, easing the yearning of our souls after that argument.The desire to be with him shouldn’t be so strong in the matter of only a few hours. Perhaps it was because of the night, as nature could intensify the attraction between the mates with the moon shining high in the sky.That must be the reason that the elders specifically asked me to stay in my room.Goddess, how could I miss that

Ashley’s P.O.V.Two years and the memory of that night still burned like it just had happened yesterday. The night that was supposed to be the most memorable moment of my life, turned into an ugliest betrayal I had ever known.I could still feel the cold marble under my bare feet as I slipped out of the Anderson mansion, heart shattering with every step. The man I thought would love me for the rest of my life hurt me in the worst possible way.I couldn’t even look back or stay for farewell and rejection after witnessing that absurd scene!The gentle morning air brushed my face as I stared out of the library’s window. The early winter sunlight spilled across my notes when a bright voice pulled me out of the shadows of the painful memories.“Ashley!”I blinked my tears away and turned around to see Liana, my classmate, as she ran towards me, her braids bouncing, her smile so wide it almost hurt to look at.“Congratulations!”She beamed, her hands clasping mine before I could even react.

Vincenzo’s P.O.V.The moment I crossed into the Blood Moon Pack, something deep stirred inside my chest. A strange rush surged through me, warm, sharp, and almost electric. It was like some invisible thread had looped around my ribs and was pulling me towards something. My wolf paced restlessly under my skin, his growls giving me a headache as he didn’t let me sleep this entire fourteen-hour flight.Every time I closed my eyes, the pull tightened, making my pulse race. By the time the plane landed, exhaustion clung to me, but the restless energy only grew stronger. Hoping for a fruitful visit, I met old Alpha Cater, who was already waiting for us with his team at the gates when we arrived. His silver hair gleamed under the southern sun, his smile polite but tired.“Alpha Vincenzo Anderson!”He greeted, clasping my forearm in the formal way of the leaders. “I think I am seeing you after two decades. You have grown into a fine young man, just like your outstanding father.”He praised

Vincenzo’s P.O.V. My world crumbled down around me as the words ‘my wife’ still echoed in my mind like a cruel drumbeat, each thud splintering something in my chest. Ashley! My kitten! She stood beside a man I didn’t know. Her eyes were unapologetic, no, declaring that she had married him. Despite the bond, our love, and everything that connected our souls. My vision tunneled as the sight of Ashley beside him, her hand brushing his sleeves as if it belonged there, burned into me. Every instinct screamed for me to grab her, shake her, and demand the truth. To ask, why and how could she betray our sacred bond like this? A thousand queries clawed at my throat, ready to erupt. But before I could lunge or even take a step forward, Carson’s hand clamped on my arm like a steel shackle. “I apologize on Alpha Vincenzo’s behalf.” Carson spoke quickly, his voice calm, unlike the fire inside my chest. His eyes flicked to the guards, armed, tense, and ready to pounce, and then back to me
