The environment felt colder the moment Elena handed the divorce papers to Drake. His eyes dropped to the documents, then slowly lifted to Elena. Something sharp twisted inside him for the first time that night. But the feeling vanished before he could make sense out of it. Drake had been certain the ending would be on his terms. Not her. The words she spoke moments ago echoed in his head. “End the mate bond.” It felt like something invisible had been torn loose, leaving behind a hollow space he did not understand. Elena lifted her wine glass. Her eyes stayed on his, daring him to look away, as she lifted the drink to her lips. She drank it and allowed the bitterness to drown the tears she would not shed. Her hand shook, but she forced it to stay focused. “Happy twenty-sixth birthday, Drake Hamilton,” she said calmly. Elena placed the glass onto a nearby tray with a soft sound. Then she spoke again. “I have reported the drugging incident to the police,” Elena said

Elena lifted her eyes slowly and met Dolphus’s steady gaze. For a moment, the hospital room faded away. Eight years ago, Dolphus arrived in Glendale from Atlanta. He had searched for her patiently, found her, and spoken words she had never expected to hear. If she were willing to walk away from Drake, he would arrange for her to study overseas. Despite being her uncle, he felt it was his duty to look after her. However, Elena had declined his request. Back then, Elena had been deeply trapped in the fragile dream called love. Drake Hamilton was her whole world. She believed love could heal memory loss. She believed loyalty could conquer bloodlines. She believed effort was enough. She was wrong. Among the Farrington family, Dolphus was the only member of the Farrington family ready to assist her. Others had turned her away, unable to accept the offspring of a traitorous wolf. The Hamilton family had only taken her in for one reason alone. To keep the Farringtons on thei

Drake stood where Elena had left him, unable to move. His eyes followed her figure until the crowd swallowed her completely. His wolf snarled softly, prompting him to stop her and speak up, whatever it might be. But he uttered nothing. Her scent remained in the atmosphere. It gripped Drake’s awareness like a test he couldn’t ignore. Drake faltered, steadying himself with a firm hand to his side. Ezra stood a short distance away, watching quietly. He watched his Beta crumble silently. “Never did I believe you two would carry it this far.” He spoke under his breath. Drake did not respond. He remained still, staring in the direction Elena had gone, as though his body had forgotten how to move without her. Elena sat frozen inside the taxi. Emotion drained from her face, her stare pinned to the divorce papers fluttering between unsteady fingers. The movement of the bus and the hum of conversation slipped past her unnoticed. Deep inside, she was lost and confused. How did it c

Their second meeting happened under the full moon. Dolphus was sixteen then. His wolf had already awakened. Elena was only eleven and her scent was still untouched by the shift. Yet that night, she bled for the pack. Elena had thrown herself forward, shielded Drake from the attack, and took two blade strikes meant for him. The silver sliced through her skin, yet she didn’t say a word. Blood wept from her wounds, yet she held her ground. Dolphus recalled the way she swayed, panting softly. He felt his wolf lurch forward, desperate to ease her suffering, but her eyes warned him away. He had said then, “If you let me, my family can protect you. We can arrange a different life for you.” Her reply was cold. “Those who are unwanted should keep a distance and walk their own path. That way, they won’t expect too much.” She added, “Dolphus, you and your family should stay out of my business.” That was the moment Dolphus Farrington, the future Gamma of Crescent Moon Pack released the resis

Lucian continued speaking. "Drake, Elena’s heart has been filled with evil. She even attempted to seduce you by drugging you, hoping to break you and my sister's relationship. Ezra and Maya helped Elena plan this act. Because of this, my sister holds a grudge against you. She was even thinking about leaving the country." Lucian leaned back slightly, but his words cut deeper than any claw. "Drake, wasn’t it you who revealed Elena’s intimate pictures on that day? You threatened my sister that if she dared to leave, you would make Elena’s life unbearable. Otherwise, we would be scouring the world for my sister now." A cold night breeze swept through the air. It danced with Elena’s long hair, scattering it over her face. Her hair veiled her eyes like the mist of a full-moon hunt. Her emotions hid behind the strands, hard to read. Her fingers curled tight around her cell phone. Her heart burned inside her chest. So, on Drake's birthday, Drake had exposed her private pictures before th
