All Chapters of Beyond the Broken Mate Bond: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

Barely hanging in there, Kaden searched the house for clues that Seraphina might have left behind. He tore through her study, the art studio, and even the garden of moonlight flowers in the back. The search came up empty. Seraphina had removed her possessions, ensuring that her very existence was gone from his life. Kaden sat on the swing in the backyard where they had once often shared moments gazing at the stars. Back then, she would rest her head on his shoulder and murmur, "Kaden, do you think we will be together forever?" Kaden would always answer confidently, "Of course. With the Moon Goddess's blessing, no one can separate us." Yet now, the blessing was broken, and so was their mate bond. She was gone. Kaden whipped out his phone to find clues in Seraphina's old social media accounts. For all he knew, she might have left some digital footprint. He recalled Seraphina's username as she would always go by "Sera under the Moon" on every platform. Kaden logged into

Kaden gave Lyra a call, his tone callous like never before. "Where are you? Come to my place. I have several things that need to be addressed." Lyra was overjoyed. "When?" "Now." Kaden hung up. He was too exhausted to go anywhere else to confront her. The last thing on his mind was to step back into his other residence with Lyra. The mere thought of the little nest made him nauseous, even when he hadn't had anything to drink since yesterday. Lyra arrived earlier than expected. She was already there when Kaden pulled up into the drive. Slipping into the role of the Luna without hesitation, Lyra started bossing the pack servants around. "Take those paintings down. They're an embarrassment. We should get valuable pieces that are actual art. No wolf would want to look at her scribbled mess. "Oh, the rug needs replacing, too. I'll give you the brand later. Make sure to get the most expensive handstitched one, or my she-wolf friends might think I'm making things up."Get rid o

Fueled by anger over her recent divorce from a cheating husband, a human woman stepped in Lyra's way and snarled, "You're young. Of all the things you could do, why choose to tear apart a family, side piece?!"With a stranger lashing out at her, Lyra snapped back defiantly, "You can't tempt a man even if you try, lady. Don't tell me that you're bitter because you can't keep your own man.""Hmph! At least I wasn't cast out on the street naked." The woman lunged to claw at Lyra. The confrontation escalated. Since the woman lived nearby, she called upon her friends to condemn Lyra for being a shameless bond breaker. Living for the drama, the other onlookers drew more people, and soon, a crowd gathered. The commotion was loud enough to be heard inside the villa, but Kaden paid no heed. He was lost in his own world. Lyra's screaming was no match for the crowd. Pushed to tears, she tried to cover her face and flee from the crowd, to be nearly violated by a handsy man who took advan

The papers on the floor matched the stationery Seraphina had left. He had moved her unused notebooks from the study to the bedroom and wrote in them, day and night, for days on end. At this point, time was irrelevant.Judy said tearfully, "Sera doesn't want to see you. What purpose does writing a roomful of apologies serve? You should tell her these things in person." Kaden fell into contemplation before seeing the logic in Judy's remark. Still, he had gone too far down the path to come out. He looked up, his eyes strained, and said firmly, "She'll know. Once I'm done writing everything, she'll forgive me. That's right. I need to be sincere—" His voice rasped. Yet, his tone carried an unsettling fanaticism, and his gaze was unnervingly bright. He broke off mid-sentence, grabbed the notebook, and continued writing with a trembling hand while muttering under his breath. "I made a mistake, Sera. You're bound to forgive me, right? Once these books are filled, you will come back to

One thing was undeniable, though. Kaden came across as deeply moving in the video. Even those who couldn't understand the language could sense his despair through his expressions and the subtitles.Seraphina held the kitten in her arms, her eyes downcast as she said, "I doubt it. We are all separate beings. No one or wolf is essential to another's life. If he chooses to give up on himself, there's nothing that can be done. No one or wolf should suffer for his sake." Her heart was set. Even if Kaden stood before her in tears, she was not going back to him. Lisa smiled. "Okay. You can stay here without worry. With the recent heavy snow in the forest, the routes to the nearby town are inaccessible. Even if anyone mistakes you for the she-wolf in the ad, they won't have the chance to contact the wolf and his family." A feeling of ease rose within Seraphina. She took a bite of the freshly baked cookie and said with tearful eyes, "Thank you. These cookies are really lovely." Time pa
