Chapter 1

I stepped down from the altar right after I spoke the rejection vow. Hot blood rushed into my throat.The backlash from forcefully tearing the Moon Goddess contract alone was savage and violent. The mate mark below my collarbone burned like an open wound. Inside me, my wolf whimpered, completely broken.I knew the truth. Griffin hadn't spoken the words "I accept your rejection." The bond wasn't gone yet. It would stay like a rotting wound, poisoning us both on every full moon.Still, I refused to wait another second.I dug my nails into my palms and swallowed the blood. Cold sweat soaked the back of my gown.Right then, Griffin called."Rowan, why is the custom nerve stabilizer in the car cooler gone? Kendra needs it."His voice sounded strained and irritated. The bond-snap clearly shook him, but he was too arrogant to see it. He just blamed his own wolf for being restless.A bitter smile crossed my lips. Five minutes ago, Kendra had facetimed me from that private club, swirling her ju

When the morning light came through the blinds, the real estate agent was already standing in the living room with the first group of buyers.The locks were changed last night. Heavy scent-neutralizing spray had wiped away every trace of Griffin's cold Alpha smell.He never came home.At three in the morning, he posted a photo online. Kendra curled up on the couch, wrapped in his heavy coat. Tabitha smoothed the hair from her forehead with pure adoration.His caption read: "Rough night, but my little nightingale is finally resting safe."Below were nothing but hateful comments accusing me of being unreasonable, saying that as a prospective Luna, I couldn't even tolerate my sick stepsister.Ever since my father died, everyone coddled Kendra. Nobody cared that I was actually the younger one.I looked down, swiped the screen shut, and signed the intent-to-sell contract.At ten sharp, a pack-wide broadcast alert hit my phone.Kendra appeared on video, choking back fake tears."I'm so sorry

Tires screeched outside the lab building early that morning.A black Cullinan pulled horizontally in front of the main entrance steps. The car door slammed shut, and Griffin marched over, bringing a wave of cold air with him.Dark circles shadowed his eyes. His jaw was set like stone. The raw shock of our severed bond had clearly kept him up all night. Yet his voice carried that same old, tired condescension."You canceled the rings and blocked my number. How long are you going to keep throwing this tantrum?"I frowned at him. "So what? We're done. We go our separate ways."His face didn't budge. He pulled a velvet box from his jacket and popped it open. The mating bands sat inside."I got them back. The ceremony goes on. Stop being mad, okay?"The sharp click of high heels cut through the air. Tabitha stepped out of the SUV. Unlike Griffin's calm act, her face was twisted in disgust. She shoved a thick stack of papers right into my face. The sharp edges grazed my cheek, scattering she

The night before my flight, I drove back to the Reyesfield estate.The night was pitch-black.I rarely set foot here after my father died. I lived in my own apartment. I only came back tonight because I needed my final research data.The gate code hadn't changed. I walked inside without a problem.Then I opened my bedroom door on the second floor.A thick cloud of unfamiliar perfume hit me instantly.The room was already beyond recognition. All my experimental equipment had been cleared out, replaced by rows of custom jewelry display cabinets.The bathroom door swung open.Kendra stepped out, wrapped in my silk robe, holding a hairdryer. The second she saw me, smug satisfaction flashed in her eyes.Then I saw her neck.My father's wolf-tooth pendant hung right between her collarbones."Take it off," I said, my voice dead calm.Kendra's eyes welled with instant tears. She backed up a step, clutching the pendant to her chest. "Rowan, please don't get the wrong idea! Tabitha told me to we

The tablet in the manager's hands glowed with cold, harsh light.Right in the middle of the screen, Rowan's electronic cancellation form was clear and undeniable.Tabitha snatched the tablet, her face twisting with rage."What right does she have to cancel this? This wedding is huge for the Reyesfields! Get your manager out here right now and fix this room!"The manager held his ground, tense but completely professional."Ma'am, Miss Rowan covered the full deposit herself. She paid all the cancellation fees from her own account. The paperwork is completely legal. At four this afternoon, the delegation for the International Energy Summit is checking in. We cannot accommodate your request.""You—" Tabitha choked, her face turning pale and furious."Enough, Tabitha."Griffin's voice was deep and heavy.He stood in the empty hall. A dull, tearing pain from the broken mate bond hit his chest in brutal waves. Deep inside him, his pureblood wolf snarled in restless agony, but he forced it dow

The security door slammed shut in front of them with a dull thud.The air in the hallway froze solid.Griffin stood frozen outside the door, his fingers digging hard into his palms. The transfer agreement on the entryway shelf was in black and white. Under the titleholder section, Rowan's signature sat clean and alone."This is impossible!" Tabitha shrieked, banging furiously on the closed door, her shrill voice echoing down the hall. "Where did she get the cash for this entire place? The pack paid for this! She stole from our assets!"The elevator doors slid open.The real estate agent handling the sale walked out alongside the building manager.Seeing Griffin and Tabitha locked out, the agent seemed fully prepared. He stepped forward, polite yet firm."Hold on, everyone. From the down payment to the final balance, this penthouse was paid through Miss Rowan's private trust. She didn't use a dime of pack money. There is no co-owner. Legally, the previous owner can sell her property wit

"Push the ceremony back two weeks."Griffin tossed his phone onto the low table, the tension in his jaw finally easing."She'll come home once she cools off. She can't stay away from me." He picked up his coffee, his voice smooth with familiar control. "A little space is good for her anyway. It keeps her from making another scene in front of our guests."Kendra sat on the single armchair, clutching a glass of warm water. The edges of her eyes were still slightly red. She bit her lower lip, glancing up at Griffin with a timid look."Griffin, what if she really won't forgive us this time? What do we do? She was humiliated so badly, and her father's pendant is gone.""She will."Griffin cut her off without hesitation, deliberately ignoring the dull ache pulsing through his chest."It's been seven years. She has never truly left me." He looked out the window, his voice completely steady. "She's stubborn, but she needs me. All her work is here. The pack is her home.""If you ask me, you spo

With those words, the staff turned to leave.His eyes bloodshot, Griffin stormed after them, reaching out to grab the envoy by the shoulder."Stop right there! Say that to my face!"The two guards flanking the envoy suddenly flared gold in their eyes. A crushing aura of high-tier pureblood commanders rolled out, forcing Griffin back half a step."Step back, Mr. Griffin. Chief Rowan is personally crowned and protected by the European Pureblood Claw Royalty. Tracking her down or forcing contact will be treated as an act of war against the entire high royal court."The black diplomatic car sped off into the distance, leaving only a sharp trail of exhaust behind.Dead silence fell over the mansion's living room."Crazy, she's completely crazy!" Tabitha's hands shook violently as she grabbed the landline, frantically dialing the main public line for the overseas directorate. "Get me the director! I'm her mother! The pack is in crisis, and she stole our trade secrets! Extradite her right now

Chapter 9

Across town, inside the joint pharmaceutical research center of Reyesfield and Frostwolf Industries, a piercing alarm suddenly tore through the entire facility.Red emergency strobes flashed wildly along the corridor ceilings. In the center of the main laboratory floor, dozens of monitoring screens flashed with the same blood-red alert at the exact same second: Core Patent Free Licensing Revoked. System Entering Permanent Lockdown."Warning. High-precision biosynthesis chamber forced power shutdown."An automated female voice echoed through the empty hall. Along with a heavy hiss of depressurization, core lab equipment worth hundreds of millions went dead, the screens dropping straight into blackness."What the hell is going on? Everything worked fine two days ago!" Tabitha stormed into the conference room, her screech nearly tearing the ceiling off.A technician hung his head in panic."The alerts started two days ago. Dr. Rowan always updated the security keys regularly, so we tried

"Sir, the three big European pharma giants just sent a joint notice. All renewal orders for this quarter are frozen."His personal assistant kicked open the office door, his face pale and defeated."Not just Europe. Six West Coast syndicates launched emergency audits, too." The legal director stepped in, trembling as he handed over a stack of notices. "Same exact reason. Frostwolf lost the core patent licenses. We're looking at tens of billions in contract penalties."Griffin sank into his large leather chair, one hand gripping his aching chest tight.The toxic fallout of the severed mate bond raged through his veins like poison. His pureblood wolf snarled in feral, exhausted agony day and night, keeping him from closing his eyes for even a second."Put it on my name. Handle it," Griffin ordered, his voice raw, rough, and his eyes bloodshot. "I'm her mate. Tell the buyers this is just a domestic dispute between mates. The patent licenses will be back soon."The legal director swallowed
