Semua Bab The Moon Goddess Must Have Made A Mistake: Bab 41 - Bab 44

Ryker’s POV Three days. That was all the time we had left.I stood in the war room and stared at the map spread across the table, tracing the red marks that showed how far the barbarians had come. Ironwood. Stonefang. Greyclaw. Ravenwood. Four packs in six days, and no survivors left behind to tell the tale. The messengers who had brought the reports were hollow-eyed and shaking, and none of them could say the same thing twice.And I had refused the only alliance that could have saved us.I didn't regret it. Not for a moment. I wouldn't marry Alessia. I wouldn't bind myself to a woman I didn't love, and I wouldn't betray Olivia again, not after everything it had cost us both to find our way back to each other. But the weight of that choice pressed down on me every time I walked through the estate, and I felt it in every stare, every whisper, every conversation that stopped the moment I entered a room.The Alpha won't save us. He refused

Olivia’s POV He didn't come to me.I waited in my room for hours, staring at the door, listening for footsteps in the corridor. I told myself he would come. I told myself he would knock, and I would open the door, and he would explain. He would tell me it wasn't true. He would tell me he had changed his mind. He would tell me the wedding was canceled and the alliance was off and he had found another way.But he didn't come.The door stayed closed. The corridor stayed quiet. And the hours stretched on until the sun went down and the room grew dark and I finally admitted to myself that he wasn't coming.He had made his choice.I sat on the edge of the bed and pressed my hand against my chest. The phantom bond was still there. Still pulsing. Faint and distant, like a heartbeat heard through a wall. He was somewhere in the estate. Close enough that I could feel him. Far enough that I couldn't reach him.I reached for the bond anyway. I pushed everything I had into it. My hurt. My anger.
