" " All right , Kirby , " I said , stepping forward and cutting off their nauseating show of affection . " Since Miss Liana has made such a miraculous ' recovery ,' I think it's time we talk about us . " I pulled out the already - prepared contract , a scroll radiating faint Moon's Essence , and dropped it onto the table in front of him . " This is the bond dissolution agreement . Once you sign it , we're done . No debts , no ties . Don't worry - I'm not after a single coin from Crimson Moon Pack . You don't have to worry about me taking advantage of you . " My voice was calm , almost casual , like I was talking about the weather . Kirby's POV ( Crimson Moon Pack Hospital ) The bond dissolution scroll - written in ancient wolfkind script - lay quietly on the table , exuding a cool aura that unmistakably belonged to Leslie . As I stared at it , the soul - deep pain I'd tried so hard to suppress surged back to the surface . Inside me , Lance let out a quiet , tormented whimper , filled with rage and a kind of ... loss I couldn't understand . She really wanted to break the bond ? Just because I'd asked her to make a " sacrifice " for the Pack's benefactor ? Just because ... I'd given Liana a little more attention ? " Leslie , are you sure about this ? " My voice came out hoarse , my face dark with brewing emotion . Yes , I'd ignored her ever since Liana appeared . Yes , I'd demanded too much of her . But I never truly intended to sever our mate bond . She was my Goddess - given mate . Even if she was just an Omega , she belonged to me - belonged to Crimson Moon Pack , " I've never been more sure , " she replied , her tone unwavering . " Kirby , I've had enough of living like a slave in your Pack . And your mother , your so - called ' brothers ' - haven't they been waiting for me to leave anyway ? Well , now they get their wish ." 1/2 13:03 Mon , Sep 15 Living like a slave ? That's what her life in Crimson Moon Pack had been ? My mother ... my Packmates ... what had they done to her ? A flicker of hesitation passed through me , but it was quickly drowned out by Alpha pride and the searing feeling of being " betrayed " by my mate . I stayed silent for a moment , then reached for the pen and signed my name and Alpha imprint on the scroll - the symbol of our once - sacred bond . My hand trembled slightly as I wrote . Lance whimpered inside me , wounded . Leslie calmly picked up the agreement , checked the contents , and slipped it into a small , unassuming pouch that shimmered faintly with strange energy . " Well , that's that . I'll be going now . " Her voice held no emotion , and without looking back , she turned and walked toward the door . I'd already braced myself for the second wave of pain that came with the bond's final severance . But watching her leave - utterly resolute , not a hint of hesitation in her step - an overwhelming sense of loss crashed over me like a tide . My chest felt hollow , like ... something vital had been torn away . I turned my head toward Liana , still on the bed , her expression flickering between panic and guilt . The anger I'd buried roared back to life . " Liana , " I said coldly , " you've truly disappointed me ." I didn't spare her another glance . I strode out of the room . She'd lied to me . Used my guilt over Jake against me . This ... wouldn't be forgiven so easily . Send Gifts 128 2/2 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
