บททั้งหมดของ End the Mistake: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

When vampires attacked the border, my Alpha mate rescued his childhood friend first, leaving me alone to face the flames. After barely surviving, I immediately submitted a request to the council of elders to sever our mate bond."Let's begin the ceremony." Elder Samson Acheron's voice echoed before the Moon Goddess Statue.The council had attempted mediation three times, and each attempt failed. Tonight, I was determined to finally end this mistake of a union.Moonlight spilled across the stone platform like silver silk. I pressed my palm against the cold surface of the Moon Goddess Statue. The power within me was instantly drawn out, silver light spreading along my arm."In the name of the Moon Goddess, I, Elena Morse, formally request severance of the mate bond with Alpha Damon Aldridge."Runes flickered across the stone. The invisible bond connecting us began to tremble and twist."Elena, stop!" Damon's voice came from behind me, laced with a panic I'd never heard before.I d

"These herbs need to be picked on the night of the full moon."I flipped through the ancient texts in the castle library, searching for ways to purify the toxin in Damon's body.I'd been living in the Alpha's castle for a month now. It was much warmer here than in the elder family's stone tower. At least no one treated me like an anomaly."Luna, are you studying herbology again?" Thomas Wraith, the castle's old steward, walked in."Yes, I want to help the Alpha recover." I closed the book. "Thomas, could you help me prepare some herbs?""Of course, Luna." Thomas smiled kindly. "The Alpha is very fortunate to have a mate like you."I shook my head bitterly. Damon never thought so.Over the past month, his attitude toward me had shifted from initial coldness to reluctant acceptance. We lived in the same castle but rarely spoke. Whenever we met, he maintained a strictly professional tone.However, I hadn't given up.Every night, I brewed detoxifying potions for him and used my we

"You're actually still alive."Grandfather stood at my cabin door with several elders behind him. Their expressions showed no concern but anger.Three months after dissolving the mate bond, I'd been living an unprecedentedly peaceful life. Every day I practiced my Moon Goddess power, studied ancient texts, and prepared to participate in the once-a-century Moon Goddess priestess selection.But they shattered that peace.Grandfather looked at me coldly. "We're here to tell you about a decision."I waited for their judgment."You went on and dissolved the mate bond despite our attempts to stop you," Elder Mary said. "There are already rumors in the pack that we failed to raise you properly.""And?" I asked calmly."So you must go back and find a way to rebuild your relationship with Damon," Grandfather ordered. "Even if you can't be Luna, you at least need to maintain some kind of connection to preserve the family's reputation."I nearly laughed out loud. "Are you joking?""Elen

"I want to go to the best restaurant for a meal," I said to Sarah the next day. Since I rarely came back here, I wanted to enjoy myself properly.Sarah nodded in agreement. "I know a good one in the city center."Blue Moon Restaurant was the most upscale place in town, lavishly decorated with an elegant atmosphere. We found a window seat and sat down. Kane was also in the Silvermoon pack territory for pack negotiations, so I invited him to join us."Are you sure about leaving the Silvermoon pack?" Sarah asked while cutting her steak."I left long ago." I sipped my red wine. "I'm a free wolf now.""What about the priestess selection...""I'm determined to succeed." My eyes gleamed with resolve. "This is my new beginning."Sarah looked at me with admiration. "You've changed so much.""Have I?""You're more confident and independent." Sarah paused, then continued, "Before, you were always worrying about Damon. Now you finally have your own life."I was deeply grateful that my

"Are you sure you're not going back?"In the Sacred Hall's moonlit garden, Kane and I sat side by side on the stone steps. I'd been back at Sacred Hall for a week now, and the tranquility here had finally helped me move past the darkness."Yes, I'm sure." I nodded. "There's nothing left there worth holding onto."Kane turned to look at me. There was an emotion in his eyes I couldn't quite read. "What about your friends?""Sarah and the others will understand." I smiled softly. "Besides, this place isn't far from the Silvermoon pack. They can come visit me."As we talked, Sarah came running into the garden."Elena!" she called out breathlessly. "Something major happened!""What is it?" I stood up worriedly."Damon broke ties with your grandfather's elder family!" Sarah said excitedly. "He uncovered evidence that the elders were embezzling pack resources. The entire family is under judgment now!"I froze. The news came too suddenly."Your grandfather and the others are all lock
