Chapter 1

After the gathering, everyone noticed the change in me.My wolf no longer answered Dorian’s calls. He tagged me three times in the pack channel, and I ignored him.When he returned, there were no moonlight lamps for me. The kitchen held no warm broth. I did not even leave the studio to greet him.He found me the next evening.“Vivienne,” he said softly at the studio door.I did not turn.“What is it?”I did not set down my charcoal, did not remove the snow-dusted coat from him, and did not press his cold fingertips to my wolf pulse. I did not look at him.“Everything Seraphina said that day was nonsense,” he continued, stepping inside. His boots thudded on the floor. “She has always been jealous of your blood, your talent, the fact that Blackthorn chose you. She stole your previous mates to spite you. Now, she says these things to provoke you.”He paused. “There was nothing between us. I only helped her. She had no pack of her own.”My charcoal froze mid-stroke.“It does not matter.”H

Before leaving the studio, I retrieved the claim release agreement from the deepest drawer.I had held the parchment all night. Once Dorian signed it with his blood, his public claim on me would be void within twenty-four hours. My name would be removed from the Blackthorn mate registry, and I would no longer belong to his territory.When I returned to the territory, the moon was high.I checked Seraphina’s pack post. She was curled up against Dorian.The Alpha who commanded the council bared his teeth in a playful grimace. His eyes curved like crescents.They held a pup. Gray-blue eyes bore the Blackthorn bloodline.Seraphina captioned: [The little one learned to howl at the moon.]She was not raising a child. She was claiming the Luna of the Blackthorn Pack without the title.My wolf growled low in my chest. The feeling cut deep.I waited the night through. Dorian did not return.At dawn, a force yanked my arm. His claws dug into my skin. Rage coursed through the bond, burning my wo

In the following days, I barely returned to the territory.Dorian did not come for me. His scent still clung to my wolf through the fading claim, intermittent and faint, as if even he did not care whether I answered.On the day I was to leave, I intended to depart immediately. But there were still my sketches in the studio. Since I was leaving, I wanted to tidy them up.When I opened the door, the studio was a mess.Shreds of paper littered the floor. I bent to pick up fragments. One was Howl Under the Moon, a painting I had spent a winter completing three years ago. It had been torn.Leo stood in the center, holding a stack of papers, tearing them with small claws. My mind went blank.“What are you doing? Who let you in?”Even Dorian rarely entered the studio.Leo looked at me. His gray-blue eyes held no fear, only coldness.He returned to ripping the sketches.“Stop.” I did not shout. My wolf suppressed the anger in my chest.He tossed the torn papers to the floor and reached for the

Dorian did not know the claim had already been released.When he returned to the study, he only felt that something was wrong.The room was too quiet.When Vivienne had still been here, she would always stay with him. While he handled pack affairs at the desk, she worked on her sketches by the window. Over time, the study had been divided between them—half for his papers, half for her art.They both disliked anyone entering without permission. Even the housekeeper would not come unless informed.Dorian stood in the center of the room, staring at the bare shelves and walls. Suddenly, he remembered yesterday.Was this the place where Vivienne and Leo had argued? Did Leo make this mess?He could not believe it. His papers were untouched, not a single one missing. Yet every piece destroyed during Leo’s play was Vivienne’s work.He called the housekeeper back into the study.“How much did Leo destroy yesterday? Why does it look like half the room has been cleared out?”The housekeeper sighe

After handling the messages in the pack channel, Dorian left the study. In just half a day, he felt years older.He tried calling Vivienne, but could not get through.He went to find Seraphina. She was in the living room playing with Leo.“I told you to take Leo and apologize to Vivienne. Did you send a message? Did she respond?”Seraphina did not expect his first question to be about this. She felt irritated.Now that she was living in the Blackthorn territory, she had already considered herself the lady of this place. Although Dorian had never officially marked her, he had claimed her. His teeth marks were deep in her wolf soul, more binding than any public announcement.Vivienne, on the other hand, had only been claimed. A nominal mate, recognized by contract but without a mark.Seraphina nudged Leo gently. “Leo does not think he did anything wrong. I think he was just playing.”Leo spoke in his childish voice. “Leo did nothing wrong.”Dorian asked patiently, “If Leo damaged someone

Dorian heard the lawyer’s words.When had Vivienne ended their claiming relationship?At first, he thought it must be a misunderstanding or some kind of prank.But the document the lawyer held crushed the last shred of hope he had left.“Thank you for your cooperation. I wish you well.”The lawyer turned to leave. Dorian blocked him, clutching at the final thread of control.“Tell me where Vivienne went. Why does she never answer my calls?”“You are her legal representative. You must know where she is,” Dorian pressed.The lawyer shook his head. “A week ago, Ms. Vivienne arranged all of this. She requested not to be contacted. As for where she went, she never said. I have no way of knowing.”Dorian watched the lawyer walk away and pressed a hand to his forehead. Darkness clouded his vision.Vivienne had not left out of anger. She was leaving intentionally. Even the claiming release had been planned.Everything he had assumed about her leaving in a fit of temper was his own self-decepti

Dorian looked at her for a long moment and said, “Whether mark or claim, neither can cross Vivienne.”Seraphina smiled. The smile was exaggerated, but tears slowly gathered in her eyes.She knew she had lost. She had lost to Vivienne.Until now, she had believed she was the winner. Her wolf had Dorian’s bite marks, she had given birth to his pup, and she thought that was enough.She had not expected it to be nothing more than an illusion.She was unwilling to accept it.“I am not leaving. I want to raise Leo. Separating our family is unfair to him.”“After you leave, Vivienne will take care of him,” Dorian said calmly.“That is not the same. I am Leo’s biological mother. My wolf bears your mark.”Dorian ignored her emotions. He turned, picked up his coat, and left.Seraphina called after him, “Where are you going?”He did not answer. He did not even look back.She collapsed to the floor, sobbing silently. The mark in her wolf pained her. It was Dorian’s bite, a trace he had once promis

Chapter 8

Harold was silent on the other end of the line for a long moment.He certainly knew where his daughter was. But she had been betrayed in her heart. Dorian had given her a claim, yet he had marked another woman. He could not act for her.“I do not know where Vivienne went,” the Alpha said evenly. “But what happened between you and that woman is already public in the North. It is not good for your pack. You should handle that first.”Dorian choked out a soft “I understand.” Then he heard the call end.Because of Seraphina, the Hale family was no longer welcoming.He regretted his own choices. Why had he impulsively marked Seraphina? Why had he given Vivienne only a claim while marking another?Now, there was no point in thinking about it.He left the Hale residence and sought another way.He asked Vivienne’s friends and past collaborators, one by one. Their tones carried a hint of mockery, and all said they did not know where she was.Dorian went to Vivienne’s studio again. It was empty.

Chapter 9

“Please notify his family as soon as possible. Decide quickly whether he will return home for treatment or be transferred here.”Alistair recorded the doctor’s words and arranged for someone to inform Vivienne.Vivienne arrived at the hospital herself.When Dorian opened his eyes, he thought he was still dreaming.“Vivienne…”Her name slipped from his lips, hoarse and filled with disbelief.The longing he had carried through countless nights surged all at once. Tears rolled uncontrollably down his cheeks.Vivienne stood by the bed, looking at him.She had been very worried, but seeing him in person transformed that worry into a quiet, subtle sorrow.She knew they would never return to how things had been.Her wolf crouched silently in her chest. There was no anger and no howling. Nothing at all.Her expression was calm. She took the doctor’s report, read it carefully, then photographed it with her phone and sent it to Marcus to relay to the Blackthorn Pack.Only then did she look back
