Chapter 2 The next morning , I got up early , just like always , to make hærrakdaut for Silan and our daughter . My daughter frowned the bowl of wolfberries and out mash in front of her , letting out a dissatisfied whine Why are we eating . again ? I want a ham and marreny sandwich ! 1 patiently explained , Sandwiches arent healthy . Eating this is good for your strength as a young wolf She pouted and yelled at me in frustration . Youre in old fashioned Aunt Flora says I can eat whatever I want Aunt Hora to come live here and be my mom . I dont want you to be my mom ! My hand froze mid motion , the wooden serving spoon marked with the Bloodmoon Packs insignia trembling in my grasp . It felt like my wolf whimpered in agony in my mind . This precious pup , whom I had conceived through grueling berbal treatments and mystical rituals , had just said something so cruel . Silan quickly glared at her before taking the spoon from my hands with a forced smile . Dont take what she says to heart . Pups say the darndest things when theyre young . Floras just my y assistant . Come , sit down Ill serve you . I didnt call him out . With trembling hands , I sat down and quietly ate the venison stew as if nothing had happened . After they left for the day , the packs communication crystal buzzed with a ha message . Im glad youve made up your mind . I take care of everything on my end . You can assume your new rank next month . I replied with a single word : Okay . My parents had never approved of my bond with Silan . Back then , I had fought them tooth and claw to be with him . A few years was all it took for me to see him for who he truly was and come back to reality . Dome a favor . I want them to have no chance to recover . Asharp pain suddenly twisted in my lower abdomen perhaps the wolfshane specific drug was starting to take effect . The pain was unbearable , and in desperation , I called Silan But a woman answered the call . Her voice was sugary sweet , laced with deliberate provocation . Silans busy right now . What do you need from him ? If its nothing important dont call again . Hes got no time to waste on someone like you L I said nothing , quietly ended the call , and sent a mental howl to the healer instead . The pack healer arrived quickly . At the den infirmary , the healer informed me that the procedure hadnt worked completely , and I needed to undergo a cleansing ritual . Lying on the stone altar , I trembled with fear as the crystal buzzed with a message from Silan . Tipe on a patrol trip for a few days . Coincidentally , Flora updated the pack bulletin , announcing her retreat to the Silver Coast I simply replied to Silans message with a single word : Okay , Then turned off the crystal and let the tears flow freely on the cold altar . Chapter 2 My mothễ worked fast . She had already gathered all the evidence of Silans affair with Flora , handed it to the pack council , and prepared the rejection papers . All that was left was my signature and oral declaration to sever the mate bond and end it all .
