"But no matter what, whether you believe me or not, you were always the only father I ever had and the only one I'll ever recognize." After saying that, she slowly turned around and walked away.

The endpoint transferred from the sacrifice bond’s anchor to the voluntary anchor standing in the clearing. She told me all of it, then stopped talking, looked at me across the desk, and waited. I was quiet for a moment.

And then— He opened his eyes. Slowly. Theo stepped forward immediately. “What is it?” he asked. Capsin did not answer right away. He seemed to be choosing his words carefully, which in itself was enough to make Theo’s chest tighten slightly. Finally, Capsin spoke. “The bond is still there,” he said. Theo froze. For a fraction of a second, something like relief tried to surface. But Capsin continued before it could settle. “It is not broken.” The relief faded immediately. Theo’s voice dropped.

“When the bond snapped now. Did you feel it too?" His face went white. "What?" "The mate bond," I said. "It is gone. I broke it." “Not at all,” he quickly said, shaking his head. "No, that is impossible. Bonds cannot be broken. They can be damaged but not…” “I broke it,” I repeated emphatically. “My wolf wanted freedom more than it wanted you.

[KAEL] Rhiannon stepped back. Not abruptly. Not violently. Decisively. The bond stuttered. Pain flashed sharp and sudden through my chest—not physical but deeper. Emotional.

Splintered at the edges where certainty had been seconds before. My hands fell to my sides. Empty. Aching.

"What do you mean she doesn't know? How can she not know? The mate pull... the bond... she should feel it." I shook my head. "She's... she was rejected. By her ex-mate." He winced, a look of pure empathy on his face. "I'm sorry, man. I... I didn't know." "She's broken," I said, my voice barely audible. "The bond... it's broken.

The calm breaks. Pain rushes back in, sharp and heavy. My vision blurs again. My chest tightens. I’m losing him. And I can’t stop it. Tears fall freely now. I don’t try to hide them. It feels like something inside me is being emptied out. Like there’s nothing left where he used to be. I don’t know how he’s handling it. I’m breaking, and I’m only losing one bond. He’s losing all of us. His bond with Caleb is tied to Damian. When this breaks, he loses both of them.
