Novel & Cerita Breaking Off The Engagement

He headed back to the Pack House, intending to finally sit Celine down and talk. The living room lights were still on. On the coffee table sat a single piece of paper and a ring. He walked over and picked up the paper. As he realized what he was looking at, it felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him. A Declaration of Dissolution. Celine wanted to sever their mate bond. His hands began to shake. His gaze fell to the ring—their wedding band, the one Celine had worn for five years. He tried to reach her through the Mind Link, but he was met with nothing but a void. She had already left the Dark Moon territory.

Saw the way she pressed closer to Teresa, seeking protection from Jasmine’s harsh words. Saw the way Kasey's arms tightened around Teresa's neck, like he was afraid someone would pull him away. Saw the way Teresa's jaw clenched, anger barely contained beneath her controlled expression. And something in me snapped. I walked towards Jasmine, my footsteps measured and deliberate. She smiled, clearly thinking I was coming to support her. "The engagement is off," I spat, my voice cold and final. Her smile froze. "What?" "We are done. Effective immediately."

She screamed in protest, thrashing against their grip, her cries filled with desperation. The sight of her like this—pleading, breaking apart—it felt like a knife twisting in my chest. I realized then that if I didn’t let her go, she would never stop fighting. She would do something reckless. With a heavy sigh, I ran a hand through my hair. “Enough,” I said, stepping forward. “I’ll break the engagement.” Bianca froze. Her parents hesitated, clearly still unwilling to accept this. “Marvin—” I shook my head. “This arrangement was just a name, a promise made by our families. But if she doesn’t want it, then there’s no point in holding on.”

Tobi's face fell flat "I mean no I have to say something, I love you Tob, I always have from the first time we met" I told him, filled with both happiness and fear, fear that I can not let him know I am married until I have successfully divorced Zach. "Oh Emma" he crashed my body to his and his lips claimed mine passionately. "I think we need to seal this" he mumbled in between kiss. The door opened widely revealing an embarrassed Nina. I pushed Tobi off me grabbing the blanket to cover my exposed breast, Tobi on the other hand was decent.

I wanted to be your equal, so we could lead a wonderful life together. "That's enough. You can drop the act now." I pulled out my phone and played an audio recording. Sheryl's voice echoed from the device, saying, "I want to call off our engagement, Felix. The two of us will walk our own paths and have nothing to do with each other from this day forth." I asked, "Do you have short-term memory loss or something? You're the one who said you wanted to cancel the engagement last night at the banquet." Sheryl looked utterly flabbergasted. "No. No, it's not like that. I wasn't being honest. I was just too scared at the time. Please, I'm begging you!"

There will be a private engagement party held tonight at Shelton Harbor. I didn't just cry; I felt a physical glitch in my soul. I grabbed my cup of club soda and hurled it at the floor, the glass shattering like my dignity. Then I grabbed the paper and ripped it into confetti with my teeth. "He can't marry someone else! He just can't!" "It's okay, babe—"

he said slowly, "what are you doing?" Ashley took a deep breath, dug into her clutch, and pulled out the ring. She stood, holding it out on her palm. "I am breaking off this engagement," she said. "I would rather be on my own than with someone who does not respect me." There were gasps around the table. Harvey stared at her like she had spoken an ancient, incomprehensible language. "You're serious?" Ashley nodded. "Yes." His cousins all glanced at each other, one of them muttering under his breath, "She's making a big deal out of nothing. Everyone in our circle has open marriages. She should be grateful he even wants to marry her."

A shocked silence filled the room as Dorian and Elara tried to understand what I had just said. "What did you just say?" Alpha Dorian asked, disbelief clear in his voice. I clenched my hands tightly and forced myself to speak again. "I'm breaking off my engagement with Adrian. He and Thalia seem to belong together.” Dorian's face twisted in anger. "Hazel, have you lost your mind? You can't just cancel an engagement like that! Do you really think you can just walk away?" "Yes, I can, Dad," I shot back without hesitation. Dorian was shocked that I, who had given so much of my life to Adrian, would now so easily end things.

Holding the divorce agreement, she bowed toward the camera. "Happy birthday." Her cold voice echoed through the hall. "Starting today, I have nothing to do with Jason anymore. This marriage is too tiring to maintain, especially with Susan constantly coming between us. Since they're so deeply in love, I'll leave." The screen then turned black, and the crowd erupted into chaos. Everyone looked at Jason and Susan with mockery and disdain. Caleb trembled in anger and raised his walking cane to hit Jason's back. "Bastard! You bastard!"

“You know, it’s just strange. I can’t put my finger on why I was so hostile toward you. Right now, no one matters more to me than my chief engineer.” I believed I might know the reason. We were once bound to the System’s narrative. At last, we had broken free from its clutches. Together, we would have our happily-ever-after.
