Semua Bab Left the Ring, Took the Kid: Bab 1 - Bab 7

"Good afternoon. I'd like to file for a mate bond dissolution."Two years after forming a mate bond, I decided to dissolve it. However, the registrar at the marriage office didn't seem to take me seriously. She thought I was here for a prank.I couldn't blame her. After all, I was a petite-looking student with a Werewolf University badge. No matter how she looked, I appeared nothing like a mated woman.Sternly, she told me, "To file for that, you and your mate will need to come down to the office here and sign. I need more than just you.""I'm aware that the agreement will only take effect if both of us sign it, but could you give us a copy of the document instead? I'll ask my mate to sign it at home and submit it as soon as he does."He's… a busy man."After hearing my explanation, the registrar handed me the agreement stamped with the city hall's official seal. She told me the mate bond would be dissolved five days after we both signed it.By then, our relationship would offic

My advisor had extended the offer to the Arctic Medical Research Program about half a year ago, but I didn't accept it. I even turned it down because I couldn't bring myself to leave my mate.However, the moment I decided to walk away from him, I finally accepted the invitation.After packing my things, I headed straight to the hospital. Frankly, last night, a part of me still wanted to give him one last chance—a final opportunity to choose me.But when Bianca came calling for help, he ditched me and chose her. The last shred of hope I had been holding on to died.Maybe this was what it looked like when… Never mind, it didn't matter anymore. The disparity of his treatment toward me and Bianca was clear as day.Still, there was something I couldn't quite understand. Why were men always so duplicitous? How could they still sleep with someone they didn't love, like what happened with us last night?To avoid repeating that humiliating scene, I decided I would steer clear of him for t

While negotiating with the Panhem partners, Logan couldn't shake a growing sense of unease. He kept checking his phone, anxious, as if something important was slipping away.As soon as the meeting ended, he rushed off."Logan, where are you going?" Bianca called out and grabbed his arm, pouting. "Weren't you supposed to take me shopping for baby things?"She continued, her voice filled with hurt. "You've been acting weird all day, and you were totally out of it during the meeting. Twice, you got the numbers wrong. If I hadn't stepped in, you would've lost millions!"Bianca gave him a hopeful look, clearly expecting praise."I guess I needed more rest," Logan muttered. "I'm not coming with you. Just take someone else and use my card. Consider it a gift for the baby."She didn't press him, instead asking gently, "Hey, what happened? You don't look too well."That was her strength—knowing when to back off and how to play into what Logan preferred."I need to check on Celeste at th

Bianca was taken aback. A trace of barely noticeable excitement flashed in her eyes before she quickly put on a concerned expression."I see. Should we look for her then? Where is she? Gosh, she's really too much. Why would she threaten to dissolve the mate bond out of spite? She's so immature."She couldn't resist jumping at the chance, could she?"She's not immature. I was at fault, too."Logan's tone was cold, completely devoid of the usual warmth he had when talking with Bianca. "Don't come over anymore. We should keep our distance. I don't want my mate to misunderstand our relationship."She wasn't expecting this. She thought my departure was the perfect opportunity to grow closer to Logan.That was why when she came over, she had brought over wine, scented candles, and a set of black lace lingerie, all to set the mood after a candlelit dinner. She was hoping for an intimate night.To her surprise, Logan had asked her to leave for good."I've already had your things packed
