Chapter 1

"Rowena, what are you gazing at?" Arnold flashed me a perfect smile.I stared dead at the top of his head.A string of numbers floated right there: 88%.We'd been together for ten years, mated for five, and that number had always been 100%.Today, it dropped without a single warning."Nothing. Your tie is a little crooked." I suppressed my racing heart, stepped forward, and steadily adjusted the silk fabric.Arnold leaned down and pressed a kiss to my forehead. His unique Alpha cedarwood scent washed over me, full of comfort.He turned and strode into the dining room. Our five-year-old pup, Lily, was sitting on a barstool, eating the cake he bought.Arnold walked over, lovingly ruffled her hair, and then headed for the bathroom.Lily suddenly put down her fork and leaned close to my ear."Mommy, why did the number above Daddy's head change?" she asked in a sweet, milky voice, her big eyes full of confusion.My heart plunged into an ice box.Lily inherited my gift.Because she was too y

The next morning, I tied Arnold's tie as usual and dropped Lily off at kindergarten.After taking care of all that, I drove straight to the Silver Moon Pack's Council of Elders."Sever the mate bond?" The Head Elder frowned, peering at me seriously. "Rowena, an Alpha's marriage is tied to the pack's stability. Unless you have hard evidence of his severe infidelity, you cannot forcefully break it unilaterally."I glared at him coldly. "What if I insist?""Then you have to get Arnold himself to sign the rejection agreement." The Head Elder slid a document across the mahogany desk.I snatched the agreement and drove straight to Arnold's corporate headquarters.Just as I parked downstairs, a familiar black Maybach pulled up to the front entrance.The door swung open, and Arnold stepped out first.Then, he smoothly raised his hand to block the roof of the car.A young girl slid out.She had long, dark brown wavy hair.Exactly the same as the ones resting on Arnold's suit jacket last night.

After returning home, I started packing.Perhaps because I hadn't rested, the injury on my ankle suddenly flared up terribly.The whole joint was swollen like a purple plum. The slightest movement made me shake with pain, so I had to stay in bed.Arnold sat on the edge of the mattress, carefully holding an ice pack to my skin."How did it get this swollen? I didn't think that fall in the elevator was that bad." His face was etched with heartache and guilt as he handed me two strong painkillers. "Go to sleep. I'll stay right here with you."Looking at his worried face, my memory flashed back to when we first completed the bonding ceremony.Back then, if I was even slightly sick, he looked ready to absorb the pain for me.The painkillers kicked in fast, and I slipped into a deep sleep.At 2:30 AM, I woke up parched.I reached for the water glass on the nightstand but accidentally clipped the lamp.Crash. The lamp shattered across the hardwood floor.The space beside me was empty and free

Chapter 4

(Third-Person POV)12:00 PM.Arnold sat in his sprawling CEO office, glaring at his phone screen.He paused for a second and typed: "I'm not coming home for lunch. After work, I need to take Daphne to buy some daily necessities. She just moved and has absolutely nothing. I'll be back late."Hit send.A glaring red exclamation mark instantly popped up on the chat.Message Blocked.Arnold froze. He hit send again. Still a red exclamation mark.He had been blocked by Rowena.In their entire ten years together, this had never once happened.A sudden wave of panic washed over him. Arnold immediately squeezed his eyes shut, trying to reach Rowena through the mate bond.Dead silence.Rowena hadn't just cut off contact in real life; she had completely shut him out of the mind-link too.Just as panic began to claw at his chest, a soft knock echoed from the office door.Daphne slipped in holding a steaming mug of black coffee."Alpha, your coffee." She padded to the desk, caught Arnold's dark ex

Stella was currently the general manager of a massive listed corporation.Her top-floor penthouse offered a stunning view of the skyline and was incredibly spacious and bright."Just crash here and relax. Don't stress about a single thing. My security here is the tightest in the Blade Pack," Stella ordered bossily as she poured me a generous glass of Merlot after dinner.I stayed holed up at Stella's for two solid days.Over those forty-eight hours, we swapped funny stories from college and mapped out plans for my future.The sharp sting Arnold left in my chest seemed to be slowly numbing.(Third-Person POV)Arnold hadn't set foot in the manor for the past two days.During the sunlight hours, he dragged Daphne through major malls to shop, and at night he headed to her apartment to help her unpack boxes and organize her life.Because Daphne was "too clumsy," she couldn't even operate the basic smart appliances and nearly torched the new apartment's kitchen.Arnold stood coughing in the

Chapter 6

(Rowena's POV)The next time I laid eyes on Arnold was right outside Stella's luxury apartment building.Arnold was draped in a black overcoat, his hair slightly damp from the morning drizzle, pacing like a caged beast by the manicured flowerbeds. When he whipped around and our eyes locked, a flash of wild, unhinged joy instantly ignited in his exhausted gaze."Rowena!" He closed the distance in massive strides, looking so utterly desperate you'd think we were star-crossed lovers tragically ripped apart by fate.Unfortunately for him, I felt absolutely nothing watching his deep emotional performance.My gaze completely bypassed his striking face and landed squarely above his head.60%.This was the absolute point of no return.I couldn't hold back the cold, razor-sharp sneer that tugged at my lips.It seemed in the mere handful of days I'd been gone, their little arrangement had progressed quite nicely."Rowena, I finally found you." Arnold rushed up and reached to grab my wrists, but

Even after I brutally shut him down, Arnold refused to leave.He stubbornly anchored himself to the sidewalk outside the building, desperate for an opening.As dusk settled, Stella came strutting up the walkway and Arnold immediately blocked her path."Stella, please, you have to talk some sense into Rowena. She's completely irrational right now." Arnold practically begged, his tone frantic.Stella stopped, took half a step back as if he smelled like rotting garbage, and sneered. "Oh, look who it is. The esteemed Alpha Arnold. What brings your highness all the way out to Blade territory? Shouldn't you be busy tucking your fragile little assistant into bed?"Arnold flinched, but forced himself to press on. "Stella, you have this all wrong! Absolutely nothing physical happened between Daphne and me! Those nights I helped her unpack, I slept alone in the guest room! I never even crossed the threshold of her bedroom!""Is that a fact?" Stella crossed her arms over her chest. "Your body mig

Chapter 8

Arnold sat entirely alone in his sprawling office, his eyes glued to the glossy photos, his brain utterly short-circuiting.He truly believed he was innocent. He hadn't even kissed Daphne. Why was Rowena relentlessly branding him a cheater?She was even weaponizing these misleading photos to blackmail him into submission."She's just insecure. She's threatened because Daphne is young and gorgeous," Arnold furiously justified to himself.He had completely blocked out the memory of Rachel's hospitalization. How he had stood rigidly by the door, refusing to cross a single professional boundary. Yet with Daphne, he happily abandoned his injured mate in the dead of night to play knight in shining armor without a second thought.Taking a ragged breath, Arnold grabbed his secure backup phone and dialed my number."Rowena, it's me." The second I picked up, his voice carried a raw, desperate tremor. "Ten years. Are you really throwing away ten years over some completely staged photos?"I stood

Chapter 9

When I picked up, his voice was utterly shredded, carrying the heavy, hollow sound of a dead soul."Rowena, I'm signing over all my personal estates to you, and I've authorized the absolute maximum child support payments. I won't ever shadow your lives again... I've finalized everything in a new binding agreement. Just come meet me so we can sign and officially sever the bond.""Just please... let me see you and Lily one final time."I stared at the phone in shock.This total surrender happened way too fast. It completely went against Arnold's arrogant Alpha nature."Don't do it. It's a trap." Stella, who had been eavesdropping nearby, instantly went on high alert. "This piece of garbage was literally stalking you a few days ago. Why would he suddenly hand over his entire fortune and walk away clean? He's baiting you. He's probably setting up a physical trap to force you to stay."I stared out at the rolling dark storm clouds gathering over the city skyline. After a long silence, I mad

Chapter 10

Staring down at the once-proud Alpha now reduced to a weeping mess on the floor, his eyes completely hollowed out by pure regret, I realized something strange. I didn't feel a single drop of triumphant satisfaction.I calmly picked up the signed documents and let out a soft sigh."Arnold, if you hadn't constantly fed her hope, if you hadn't blurred every single boundary, she never would have been brave enough to try and drug you. You aren't some innocent victim caught in a trap. You were the main accomplice in burning our bond to the ground."Arnold flinched as if I had driven a silver blade through his chest. His jaw worked, but absolutely no sound came out.Before I walked out the door, he turned to stare out the glass panes at Lily. She was happily picking daisies in the garden, gripping Stella's hand, completely oblivious to the massacre of her parents' marriage.Arnold didn't dare step closer to the glass. After a heavy, suffocating silence, he whispered, "Rowena, I just need to k
