All Chapters of Dumping My Mate, Keeping Our Pup: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Seraphina, it's just a crown. Don't throw a tantrum at a time like this," said my destined mate, Cassian Wolfe.I looked down at my feet, where the Moon Goddess' crown symbolizing one's status as Luna lay in pieces.The mate ring that Cassian was supposed to put on my finger was currently on Daphne's ring finger.After a long while, Cassian finally let go of a trembling Daphne, picked up his cloak, and walked toward me."Daphne didn't mean it. Put this cloak on while I get someone to clean up the mess. The bonding ceremony will proceed as usual."I took half a step back and avoided his hands.Cassian frowned and lowered his voice. "Envoys from various packs are here. Anything you have to say can wait until after the bonding ceremony is over."I simply found those familiar words absurd.During the bonding ceremony in my past life, Daphne similarly shattered my crown and snatched away my ring. Yet, Cassian had claimed that she suffered from severe separation anxiety and requeste

I called on the healer once again. Fortunately, I only suffered superficial injuries, and my pup gradually settled down again.As night fell, Cassian reached out to me through our mate bond."Daphne's emotions are unstable thanks to your provocations, so I'll be staying back at the main residence to keep her company tonight. You can go get fitted for your formal attire by yourself tomorrow morning."I sat in darkness, a wry smile tugging at the corners of my mouth as I gazed at the gauze wrapped around my forearm.He still believed that I'd called off the bonding ceremony in a moment of spite.In my past life, I was still trying to be mindful of his feelings out of consideration for the fact that he was a young Alpha who had to face the Council of Elders and envoys from various packs every day. As such, I had gone to try on my formal attire by myself.While enduring the exhaustion of pregnancy, I tried on one elaborate gown after another. I sent photos of myself in them to Cassia

On a snowy plain thousands of miles away from the Gale Pack, I stood alone at the edge of a towering cliff.As I gazed up at the full moon, I recited an ancient vow."I, Seraphina Lovell, hereby swear an oath to the Moon Goddess. I reject Cassian Wolfe as my destined mate. From this moment on, my life, loyalty, and future no longer belong to him."Moonlight abruptly shone down on me.I felt my destined bond to Cassian, which had not yet been solidified through a mate mark, being forcibly severed. My chest felt as if it'd been ripped apart with sharp claws, and blood rushed up my throat.Deep within my consciousness, my wolf let out a miserable, agonized howl. Yet, it still shielded my unborn pup from harm.It hurt terribly, but inwardly, I felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and release.Meanwhile, far away in the Gale Pack's temple, Cassian was experiencing backlash a hundred times worse than my own.His towering frame was curled up on the ground, convulsing from the anguis

Before the previous Alpha of the Gale Pack, Henry Flint, passed away, he once met me in private.At that time, Cassian was just the Council of Elders' most favored candidate for the position of pack Alpha.His older brother, Ryan Thorne, had been exiled for years. However, Ryan had never given up on the position of pack Alpha, and there were still many elders who supported him within the Gale Pack.When Alpha Henry handed me the moonstone casket, he told me solemnly, "Cassian is too sentimental and thus easily swayed by others. This symbol of succession is my final endorsement of his right to the position of pack Alpha."Please give it to him once the two of you have completed the bonding ceremony. With this emblem, Ryan won't be able to contest his right of succession."In my past life, I honored Alpha Henry's trust in me.Not only did I give Cassian the symbol of succession, but I even asked my maternal pack to vouch for him and ensure that his position as pack Alpha was fully

After the bonding ceremony was canceled, the High Elder immediately put a halt to the succession ceremony."The symbol of succession has been destroyed, and the Snowfield Pack's guarantee has not been received. Until the matter has been thoroughly investigated, Cassian may not assume the position of pack Alpha."Cassian, with a bitter expression on his face, attempted one last, desperate struggle.He said, "Although the symbol of succession has been destroyed, Seraphina is carrying my pup. As long as she returns to vouch for me, the Snowfield Pack will naturally continue to support me."Yet, no sooner had he said those words than a Snowfield Pack envoy stepped expressionlessly onto the altar and revealed a statement that I'd signed with my own hand."Seraphina has already rejected her destined bond with Cassian and, on behalf of the Snowfield Pack, withdrawn any and all support for Cassian. From now onward, the Gale Pack's succession dispute has nothing to do with the Snowfield Pa
