Chapter 1

I walked into the Pack Council with my divorce papers clutched in my hand. Four years. Four years as Rebecca Clarke, the mate to Gavin Clarke, who was the alpha of the Ironpelt Pack—the strongest among the northern werewolf packs.Today, our mating bond was going to end.The pack clerk didn’t even look up when I walked in.“I’d like to file for dissolving the mate bond.” I said.He finally looked up, startled—like I didn’t belong there. And honestly, with my werewolf university hoodie and backpack, I probably didn’t."The Pack Council isn’t exactly student territory," the clerk said, eyeing my outfit with clear skepticism. "Dissolving a mate bond requires signatures from both of the couple.""Just give me the document," I said, tightening my grip on my bag. "I’ll bring it back with his signature."The Clarke compound lay eerily still under the moon's glow. The sentry wolves at the gate didn't even twitch their ears as I passed—just another scentless shadow in Alpha Gavin's domain.I mo

Chapter 2

Lately, Vivian had been living in our den—what was once a private sanctuary for two now reeked of her smell. She claimed it was for "pack business efficiency", supposed to last a week at most. But then her territory got ravaged by rogues, "forcing" her to temporarily occupy our guest wing.Gavin approved it before I could bare my fangs in protest. "The Brookers have hunted beside our bloodline for generations," he said, like that magically made her presence acceptable.Now she held court in our great hall like some proclaimed Luna—hosting alliance dinners where betas from neighboring packs bowed to her, not me. Our mating bond was never publicly announced, so most assumed the golden-furred socialite was the real Mrs. Clarke.Tonight, I caught them in the war room, heads bent over a territory map. "Rebecca!" Her fangy smile made my hackles rise. "We're designing my new howling gallery. You must contribute!"“I have lab reports to grade,” I said, clutching my nightgown. The mating dissol

Chapter 3

The Swiss Institute’s Alpha Director had sent me three formal summons in the past month, each sealed with the silver-embossed crest of their research den. He urged me to join their Lunar Genetics team before autumn’s first frost.In his words, I was “a rare omega-born scholar with an instinct for discovery—someone who might bring a breakthrough worthy of the Moon Goddess’s favor.”Before I could let doubt or Gavin’s shadow creep in, I’d sent back a single word: Accept.The research in Switzerland would last ten years. Ten years away from Gavin and his precious Vivian. That had been my plan.But last night’s memory gnawed at me like a restless wolf in a cage. I had meant to initiate something with Gavin—one last tether to cut clean, a final memory before I ran. Instead, he’d spent the night under the blood moon with Vivian, no doubt doing something romantic in the moonlit grove where mates went to renew their bond vows.Most of my belongings were still in my campus packhouse quarters. I

Chapter 4

After informing the research team director of my pregnancy and suggesting they reconsider my position, I closed my email fully prepared for rejection. Even if excluded, I've resolved to move to Switzerland—if needed, I'll find a charming cottage to begin this new chapter with my child.Then Gavin's text appeared. He requested a meeting at Moonlight Restaurant tonight—the same place I'd booked for our anniversary, where he'd stood me up to be with someone else. Though every nerve resisted, I finally typed "Accepted" before the sinking sun drowned my phone screen in amber light.Back in my dorm, my wolf Gloria snarled inside my head: "You're really going? After everything?""I have to," I shot back. "If we want to keep this pup safe, we need to cut all ties first. Dinner gets him to sign the papers. Then, when we're oceans apart..."Her growl vibrated through me. "And after? You think he'll just let his cub go?"I bared my teeth at the mirror. "By then, it'll be too late for him to do an

Back home, I stared at the unopened email from the professor—my pregnancy confession hung between us in digital silence. My palms dampened. While rejection would disappoint me, this wasn't about career versus Pup. If forced to choose, I'd pick Pup without hesitation.The message loaded. Tears blurred the screen—not from sorrow but relief. The professor had arranged prenatal nutritionists, adapted lab schedules around medical checkups, and insisted my workstation include ergonomic chairs. "Your mind remains our priority," he wrote. "We await your brilliance, whenever you're ready."I packed while sunlight gilded Zurich flight tickets on the desk. The Bondbreak Certification document went to the courier—set to arrive three days later. Let this legal severance grant Gavin freedom to formally claim Vivian. Their mate certification paperwork could commence the moment my plane left the tarmac.At the airport drop-off curb, nervous energy coiled in my stomach like a thief fleeing a crime sc

Chapter 6

The black-armored Mercedes lunged sideways, narrowly avoiding a lone biker who roared past, hurling a curse sharp enough to slice the air. Gavin’s grip on the steering wheel didn’t falter—his gaze locked ahead, jaw tight.Vivian clutched the moonstone charm at her throat, her pulse thudding loud enough for his wolf to catch. “Gavin! First you ditch our movie night, and now you’re driving like you’re hunting prey in a blind rage? Are you trying to get us killed?”He didn’t look at her. “I’m drained. Ask one of your pack sisters to go.”But his mind wasn’t here—it had been trapped for nearly a month in the silence after Rebecca’s last message: Lab’s running late. Don’t wait up. No visits to the Alpha House. No voice. No scent lingering in the halls.Vivian sighed, pulling a lipstick tube from her clutch. “You’ve been this way ever since she locked herself in that lab. Honestly, she’s probably just brooding because you’ve been with me.”He didn’t reply. Brooding wasn’t Rebecca’s nature—wo

Chapter 7

Gavin Clarke’s hands shook violently as his fingers grazed the silver-embossed crest on the dissolution scroll—its cold weight felt like a death sentence carved by the Moon Goddess herself.Vivian rested her manicured hand on his shoulder. “Gavin, it’s nothing more than some young she-wolf’s childish rebellion. Give her time—she’ll come crawling back.”“She is my Luna!” The roar ripped from his chest like the snarl of a wounded alpha. In a flash, he flung Vivian aside, the force knocking over an obsidian vase etched with the Clarke Pack emblem. It smashed against the marble, shards glittering like moonlit ice.The night air hit him like a whip as he stormed out. Without sparing a breath, Gavin threw himself into his black Lupus-Engine roadster and tore down the asphalt, pushing the growl of the engine past its limits as he raced toward Rebecca’s territory-bound university.But once there, his pulse spiked with a gut-twisting realization—he had no idea where her lycanthropic biology res

Chapter 8

Gavin Clarke's spine stiffened instantly at the words of that female wolf cub, as if frozen in the midnight ice field."Lost the pup?" His voice was low and fractured, like the roar of a beast torn apart by a storm.The girl clutched her leather-bound textbook tightly, her golden pupils blazing with disdain. "Some scumbag wolf got her pregnant, then vanished the next moment. When she collapsed, that guy was already gone."Gavin stood frozen, trembling uncontrollably, unable to face the truth—Rebecca had been pregnant, had been carrying his pup, yet she'd never told him!Then suddenly he remembered—that day at the hospital when Rebecca must have been attending her prenatal checkup, while he was accompanying another woman—Vivian—to her prenatal checkup.He, of all people, was precisely the scumbag wolf that female student had spat out with such contempt!"Thankfully she's already left for Switzerland to join the research institute project. That scumbag wolf will never see her again! By t

Chapter 9

Rebecca's POVThe avalanche had gutted the mountain station. Steel beams bent under the crushing weight of snow, solar panels lay shattered, and the once-pristine research dome was nothing more than jagged ice and splintered glass. Wolves and humans alike worked shoulder to shoulder, erecting windproof tents and hauling the wounded toward the healers. The air was sharp with frost, smoke from emergency fires curling skyward like dark signals to the Moon.That’s when I caught it—his scent.The unmistakable pull of the Northern Alpha King: wolf musk layered with iron-rich blood and the salt of exhaustion. It hit me like a claw to the chest.He emerged from the snow haze, every step a collision of dominance and hesitation.“You’re carrying my heir,” his voice rasped, edged with command. “As the sire, I’ll have you return to my territory.”I bared my teeth. “You’re standing on a high-security expedition ground. It’s you who should turn back before I have you dragged off by your tail.”He di

Chapter 10

Gavin’s golden eyes followed me with an intensity that felt almost primal, as if his wolf refused to blink for fear I might vanish.I turned away. The wind roared through the mountain pass, slicing through my furs, but the chill barely touched me. My steps carried me into the supply shelter without a single glance back.Outside, his low voice cut through the storm.“...Paul. It’s me.”The blizzard devoured half his words, but the fragments that slipped through made my grip on the tent’s leather flap tighten.“Remaining in the High Alps… for as long as it takes… handle my affairs… no messages.”And then, clear as a wolf’s howl under a winter moon, came the vow that made my pulse stutter:“I will not return without her.”Six words—yet they stripped him bare. This wasn’t the Alpha King who once commanded armies and expected instant obedience. This was a male setting fire to every escape route, locking his own chains, determined to stand or fall beside me.For one dangerous heartbeat, I le
