The Heartbroken Luna’s Choice: Banish Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 221 - チャプター 230

Trista's POVMorning, in the treatment room, I was deep into a neural-soothing session with Isaiah.The spacious room was filled with the scent of a herbal blend I'd custom-mixed, and the low-frequency hum of the singing bowls was doing its job—calming those high-strung werewolf nerves.Isaiah had showered and changed into some clean, oversized lounge gear.As I prepped the active medium for his therapy, I played it casual. "Back when you bought your place, were there any other units left in our wing?"Isaiah arched an eyebrow, a playful glint in his eyes. "The 18th floor was wide open."I nodded, my plan finally coming together. "Keep up the progress with the treatment, and I'll have you over for dinner this weekend."Come Saturday, Paisley and I hit the supermarket and hauled back a massive spread of fresh groceries.Cassian, dressed in dark loungewear, was leaning against the kitchen doorframe. He didn't say a word, but those deep eyes of his were tracking my every move."Go put on

Third Person's POVCassian stood frozen, eyes snapped shut as he took a ragged breath, fighting to keep the raging wolf inside him from tearing out.Trista saw her opening and flashed Samantha a look.Samantha took the hint, leaning down to whisper in the boy's ear.Algernon immediately rubbed his little stomach and looked up at Cassian with puppy-dog eyes. "Trista, I'm hungry.""Dinner's served, everyone. Let's sit," Trista said, ushering the group toward the dining room.When Cassian stayed rooted to the spot like a statue, Trista walked back and hooked her arm through his. She softened her edge, her voice dropping to a persuasive hum. "Look, they're already here. Let's just feed them. If you've got a problem with how I'm handling this, we can hash it out behind closed doors once the guests leave."Cassian gave her a look of pure suspicion. "Are you serious?"Trista grabbed his calloused hand and pressed it against her heart, her face a mask of total sincerity. "I swear. I mean it."

Third Person's POVFred turned around, staring straight at the lead Alpha who was teetering on the edge of a breakdown. He didn't hold back. "Cassian, stop lying to your own instincts. The truth is simple—Trista is done. She doesn't love you anymore. You're the one who broke that vibrant, confident she-wolf. You killed the Trista who used to look at you like you were her entire world."Cassian stood frozen, his back stiff with a dull ache, while the fingers holding his cigarette trembled uncontrollably.It took forever for him to find his voice. "We have a mating bond," he rasped. "We have decades of history. You don't just 'drop' something like that because you feel like it."In his mind, he was just doing the right thing—taking care of a pup because Samantha had sacrificed so much for him in the past.Sure, he'd handled it messy, but he'd never intended to end his mating. He never even considered letting go of his fated mate.Fred looked at him like he was a complete freak. "Trista

Third Person's POVCassian flipped open his laptop and plugged in the flash drive himself, beckoning her to take a look.Trista hesitated, keeping her distance. "You're sure you're not playing me?"Cassian met her gaze, his tone turning dead serious. "I told you—if you're still feeling insecure, I'll transfer the pack assets to you whenever you want. Ever since you came back, you've been pushing every single one of my boundaries. Did you follow even one rule in that agreement? Did I ever actually use my rank to punish you for it?"Trista's eyes flickered with uncertainty.After a beat, she stepped forward and confirmed the files on the drive. She pulled it out and squeezed it tight in her fist.Cassian closed the laptop and moved in, wrapping his arms around her waist. He looked down at her, his possessiveness on full display. "Trista, can we finally go to bed now?"The look in his eyes was anything but subtle. Trista caught the hint immediately.Just as she was trying to come up with

Third Person's POVSamantha wasn't about to budge. She'd worked too hard to get settled in LA and had finally managed to wiggle her way into Madison's high-society inner circle.More importantly, the fact that Cassian was willing to go toe-to-toe with the Ironthorn members just to protect Algernon proved she still had a hold on him.As long as she could kick Trista out of the pack, the Luna seat was hers. There was no way she was walking away from a goldmine for a one-time payout.Seeing the defiance in her eyes, Cassian's face went stone-cold.He let his Alpha aura flare, his voice dripping with ice-cold warning. "Samantha, the amount on this card is enough to change your life forever. It's more than you'd ever make in a hundred lifetimes. If you don't take it now, don't expect a third chance."Samantha stood her ground, her palms slick with cold sweat.Sure, the money was a lot, but compared to the combined assets of Cassian and the Ironthorn Pack? It was pocket change.If she could
