Semua Bab Alpha Mate and Son’s Regret After I Severed Mate Bond: Bab 1 - Bab 9

"On the next full moon, Elena and I will hold the mating ceremony, and she will formally become the new Luna of the Silver Moon Pack."Eric nuzzled into Elena's arms. "Aunt Elena, I can finally call you mommy."I had just dragged my broken body into the central square when I saw it.Elena. The liar who had poisoned my birthing tonic, who had nearly killed both me and my child, who had left me chained in that forest prison for five whole years. And now she stood beside my mate and my son, basking in the praise of the entire Silver Moon Pack.She didn't deserve it. She didn't deserve to be Luna, and she didn't deserve to steal Killian and Eric from me!The thought pushed me out of the shadows. "A new Luna? Killian, did you think I was dead?"The moment the words left me, every eye in the square turned my way.The instant Killian recognized me, his eyes flew wide, churning with emotion. His voice shook. "Lila, you're alive?"He didn't care who was watching. He rushed toward me.He gripped

Alpha Caleb had promised the bond-breaking potion was gentle, but five years in silver chains had left my body very weak.I went to the infirmary alone and had the healer give me a full examination.But just as I reached the infirmary doors, I saw Killian and Eric heading inside, carrying a food basket.Eric spotted me at once.He ran straight over and threw his arms out across the doorway."You followed us here!" His face was all hostility. "Are you trying to break my parents apart too?!"Killian looked at me too. "You followed us here because you don't trust me?"I didn't answer. I walked straight past them into the exam room.After the healer examined me, his expression slowly turned grave.He wrote the diagnosis on a sheet of parchment.Wolf wounded. Silver corrosion. Requires ongoing monitoring.I had just stepped out of the exam room.Killian strode over and snatched the report from my hand.When he read it, his face changed. "Wolf wounded? Silver corrosion? How could you...""Li

The mate bond between Killian and me broke completely.Violent pain swept through my whole body in an instant. My legs gave out, and I dropped to my knees on the altar.Killian had it worse than I did.He let out a wretched scream, crashed to the ground, and curled up in agony.He stared at me and dragged himself toward me, almost groveling."Lila, no..."Before he could finish, a strange, powerful Alpha aura crashed down over the entire square.Everyone who had been about to rush the altar was pinned where they stood, unable to move.Caleb pulled me into his arms and quickly slipped a pill between my lips.The pill dissolved the instant it touched my tongue, and my wolf, so frantic a moment ago, slowly settled.Caleb looked down at me, his eyes full of heartache."I'm sorry. I'm late."At the sight, Killian's eyes went blood-red.He forced himself up through the pain, swaying. "Alpha Caleb! How dare you trespass on my territory! And with my mate in your arms!""Do you want to start a

Caleb brought me back to the Silver River Pack.The air here was full of the fresh scent of pine needles, and the people were kind.Caleb was in no rush to announce who I was. Instead he settled me in the quietest lodge on the grounds."What you need right now is rest."Every day he made time to keep me company, telling me the funny things that had happened.And whenever the Elders pushed him to find a mate, he'd hide out at my place, spoon-feeding me my medicine while grumbling about how pushy they were.Now and then, when they really cornered him, he'd hole up at my place and flat-out refuse to go out and face anyone.At moments like that, I couldn't help wondering: was he really an Alpha?And yet this man, with his almost childish streak, slowly took hold of my heart.Under Caleb's careful attention, the silver poison left in my body was cleared away bit by bit, and my wounded wolf began, slowly, to heal.One evening three months later, Caleb took me to the highest cliff in the terr

On the first day of winter, a heavy snow came to the Silver River Pack.I sat by the warm fireplace while Caleb bent down, pressing his ear to my belly, listening to the faint heartbeat within."Sounds like a strong little one."He looked up, his eyes bright with a father-to-be's joy.Just then, a guard hurried in to report."We found someone collapsed in the snow at the border. He says he's Killian of the Silver Moon Pack, and he wants to see the Luna one last time."Caleb's face darkened at once.He stood and put himself between me and the door. "Throw him out. Tell him Lila won't see him."I caught Caleb's arm."Let him in. There are some things that need to be settled for good."A few minutes later, the guard brought Killian into the hall.I could barely recognize him.He was thin to the bone, his once-sleek hair now dull and matted, his face a lifeless, ashen gray.The damage from the broken mate bond, together with a year of remorse, had hollowed out his life entirely.When Killi
