All Chapters of Since You Don't Want Me, Then This Is Farewell: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The ninth bonding ceremony between me and the Alpha King, Thorne Ravencrest, is finally here. Yet once again, I failed to become his Luna Queen.Not because he broke his promise, but because I'm not qualified enough.The Elders made it crystal clear that every Luna Queen recognized by the Moon Goddess throughout history must cultivate 365 Moonlight Flowers using their own blood essence. But every year on the eve of the ceremony, no matter how careful I am, there's always one flower missing.This year, I nearly drained myself completely and barely managed to grow the right number. Ecstatic, I go to find Thorne, wanting to surprise him.Through the partially open door of the throne hall, I hear his Beta say to him, "Alpha King, Sera's been waiting for you for eight years now. Are you ever going to bond with her?"Thorne shakes his head. "I promised Willow we can't bond this year either."His Beta hesitates. "What if Sera actually manages to grow enough Moonlight Flowers?"Thorne goes sil

Thorne saw the pain in my eyes, and his expression softened with reluctance. He walked over, trying to take my hand, but I dodged him.He didn't get angry. Instead, he just shook his head with a hint of helplessness. "I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry."I saved Willow. That means I'm responsible for her. Protecting her is what I should do. Can't you stop making such a big deal out of something so small?""Something small?" I murmured under my breath.I still recalled how last year, when I'd nearly drained all my blood essence cultivating the Moonlight Flowers and passed out, I begged Thorne to share just a bit of his wolf's energy to help me pull through. Thorne's eyes held pity when he found out, but he still refused."Cultivating Moonlight Flowers requires your own blood essence. It's a trial every Luna Queen throughout history has endured. You can't cheat."So for me, it was all about being independent, strong, and patient. For Willow, it was endless indulge

When Thorne heard Alec's words, he froze completely in place. Then, snapping back to reality, he let out a scoff."You're joking, right? Sera loves me so much. She's been preparing for this ceremony for nine years. How could she possibly bond with someone else?"Willow laughed lightly beside him. "Sera will make up any lie just to make the Alpha King angry."Alec looked at them, disgust practically spilling from his eyes. Without wasting another word, he slammed the gates of the Moonshadow pack shut, blocking out those two nauseating faces.Outside, Thorne suddenly snapped out of it as overwhelming panic surged through him. This panic was stronger than anything he'd felt before."No, wait... she's serious this time!"Sera! Come back here!"The wolf blood in Thorne's veins began to boil. His pupils even turned into crimson slits. "That car was heading toward the Mistwood Forest!"Thorne slammed his foot on the gas pedal, racing down the highway in a frenzied chase.Meanwhile, I

The days I spent by Rowan's side felt like a beautiful dream I wouldn't have dared imagine during these past few years. He wasn't like Thorne, someone I had to constantly please. Instead, Rowan organized my life with meticulous care.He personally planned every meal, down to the last ounce of nutritional intake. Every morning when I woke up, there was always a glass of warm water at the perfect temperature on my nightstand. Every evening before bed, he'd massage my back to help calm my restless wolf."Does it still hurt here?" he asked softly as he worked."Not anymore." I lay face down on the pillow, my voice muffled. "Rowan, why are you so good to me?"Rowan leaned down and whispered in my ear. "Sera, your soul is purer than any Moonlight Flower. That fool was blind. He treated an unpolished diamond like a common stone, but I know value when I see it."…A month later, under Rowan's care, my body had regained its vitality. More importantly, my wolf had advanced.Nourished by

Thorne completely lost it. Like a madman, he lunged forward and grabbed Willow by the throat."You dared to lie to me! I hurt Sera for you! And you've been playing me this whole time?"I watched this scene unfold and spoke calmly. "Thorne, if you'd cared about me even a little, if you'd investigated even once, you would've known the truth."But you didn't. You only believed her words, no matter what it would do to me."Thorne's expression turned unpleasant. "Sera, I didn't know... I really didn't know..."He tried to reach for me again."Enough." Rowan pulled me into his arms, blocking Thorne's view. "Now that the truth is out, take your people and get lost. We don't welcome trash here."At that moment, the Bloodmoon pack Elders who had accompanied Thorne stood there, utterly humiliated. Their chosen Alpha King turned out to be a fool manipulated by a she-wolf.How disgraceful! He was an absolute disgrace to the southern wolf packs!…A month later, everything changed in th
