Abandoned At The Altar By My Mate CHAPTER 14
A Beacon of HopeFlora stared at the envelope in her hand, the official seal marking its importance. She had been summoned to the commander's office for a "special announcement." Her mind whirred on. Was this another task? A reprimand for something she had missed during training? She took a deep breath and forced her thoughts to settle before she walked into the building. Outside, the world was abuzz while inside, a knot seemed to be tightening in her stomach.Flora," Commander Alvarez greeted her, firm but warm, gesturing her to sit, a slight encouraging smile on his lips. "I have something very important to talk over with you."She sat down, still feeling uncertain, her eyes running from the face of the Commander to the envelope held in his hands.“You’ve been selected for a promotion,” Alvarez said, cutting to the chase. “Your dedication, your skill, and your leadership in the last several missions haven’t gone unnoticed.”A promotion? It seemed so unreal. She had just been doing h

The Breaking Point"Flora, you need to concentrate!Leo's voice cut sharply through the fog in her brain as they wove their way through the jostling, crowded camp. Flora blinked, shaking her head to clear the fuzziness. She had been staring at her hands, her fingers wrapped around the edges of her tactical map, but her mind was elsewhere. The mission. Adrian. The choices looming over her. She was barely holding it together, and Leo could see it."I'm fine," Flora muttered, her chin raising in defiance. She didn't need Leo- didn't need anyone telling her what to do. She'd handled worse.But Leo wasn't buying it. He shifted in front of her, standing in her way with a glare that pinned. "No, you're not fine. You've been off for days. I get things are complicated, but you got a job. The whole mission depends on it, you being sharp.Flora’s jaw tightened, but she didn't argue. It wasn’t the first time she had been told to pull herself together. It wasn’t the first time someone had tried to

Unfinished Business" That is a terrible plan," Flora murmured, arms crossed as she surveyed the chart in front of her." You realize if we shoot troops through the eastern corridor, they'll be boxed in from both sides?"Lieutenant Ramos soughed, rubbing his temples." It's the fastest route, Captain. Speed is everything."" It's a suicide run," she shot back." They'll be sitting ducks. We reroute through the northern passage, hit them from an angle they will not anticipate."Ramos dithered." It will take longer."" It will keep them alive." Her tone left little room for argument.The tent was thick with pressure as the other officers changed ganders. Flora could feel the weight of their gapes. A many months agone, they might have misdoubted her. Not presently.A throat cleared from the entrance." Still spooking your inferiors, I see."Flora strengthened. That voice.She turned, slow and deliberate. Adrian stood just inside the tent; hands shoved into the pockets of his jacket. His pres

The First Crack"You sure about this?" Jonas asked, keeping his voice low.Adrian didn’t look at him. His gaze was fixed ahead, his jaw set. "I’ve never been surer of anything."They stood in the centre of the pack's large, open meeting hall with its walls lined by torches. It wasn't a meeting but a full assembly, which meant that everyone who was anyone was present, awaiting the former Alpha to have his say.Alice sat on the far side of the room, her posture composed, but Adrian knew better. He saw the tension in her shoulders, the way her fingers clenched subtly at her sides. She knew something was coming.Adrian stepped forward, and the room fell silent."I won't waste anyone's time," he began, his voice sure, carrying through the hall. "For too long, I let myself be blinded by things that weren't real. I trusted the wrong people. Made the wrong choices. And because of that, I lost something-someone-who actually mattered."He let the words settle. He wasn't naming names, but everyo

A Fragile Truce"You’ve got to be kidding me."Flora folded her arms, eyeing the group of soldiers assembled before her.Across from her, Adrian mirrored her stance, looking just as displeased. "I don’t like it either, but orders are orders."They stood at the edge of the training grounds, surrounded by a dozen soldiers. The latest directive? A joint military operation between the army and the pack to strengthen defences along the border. It wasn't just about strategy-it was a political move to show unity. Which meant working together.Flora exhaled sharply. "Fine. But let's get one thing straight-this isn't a reunion. It's a mission. Keep it professional."Adrian's jaw clenched, but he nodded. "Agreed."Dawson, standing to Flora's right, gave a low whistle. "Well, this'll be fun."She shot him a warning glare before turning to the team. "Listen up! We're running defensive drills today. Pair off—one soldier, one wolf. Learn each other's strengths. No egos, no unnecessary aggression. W

The Power ShiftFlora leaned against the wall, the steady hum of the base bustling around her yet it all felt so very distant. She shifted the straps of her gear; her mind was miles away. A knock on the door pulled her back into the present."Hey, you decent?"She grinned but it didn't quite reach her eyes. "For you, always."Corin stepped inside, his dark hair falling just above his shoulders, his eyes sharp but filled with concern. He was one of the few people she could really count on these days, considering all that had taken place."You've been distant lately," Corin said as he came inside, his voice light, yet laced with an underlying seriousness. "You can talk to me, you know."Flora crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes dropping to the floor for a moment before rising to his. "It's. Adrian. And everything that happened with him."Corin lifted an eyebrow, leaning against the table across from her. "You've never really talked about him before. What, you miss him?"She let he

The Breaking Point"You're making a mistake, Adrian."Alice's voice slithered across the darkened room like a snake, and he could almost hear the venom behind her words. Adrian's jaw was clenched tight, fists deeper, but he never budged. He had waited too long for this."Am I?" Adrian said, his tone colder than it had ever been. "Because I think the real mistake was ever trusting you."The smile that played on Alice's lips was taunting, and the casual ease in her carriage lent an impression as if she were not disturbed about anything in her life. "You know, I used to think you were smarter than this. But I suppose that's what happens when you let your feelings cloud your judgment." Taking a slow step forward, eyes flicked with disdain across his figure. "You'll regret this. You don't know who you are up against.""Maybe not. But I know enough to realize your lies." Adrian stepped closer; his eyes locked with hers. "I know you've been playing all of us. The pack, me. all of it. Your li

The Storm Approaches"Flora, we need to talk."The words hung in the air like a warning. Flora didn't even have to turn around to know who it was. Adrian's voice was deep and steady, a blade cutting through tension in the room. She could feel the weight of his presence behind her-tall, solid, but miles away in the space between them.She kept her gaze on the maps on the table, her mind wandering. She wasn't ready for this talk. Not today. Not when everything in her head felt like it was slowly crumbling apart."You have to be kidding me," she muttered under her breath, more for her ears than his. "You want to talk now?"Adrian stepped closer; his boots silent on the cold concrete floor. "I know you're angry, Flora. But this—" He paused, his eyes softening slightly. "This can't wait anymore."The last few weeks had been a blur of orders, tension, and quiet moments spent questioning everything she thought she knew about herself. She'd been through hell, and somehow, the worst part of it

A New Dawn"Flora, trust me, what has happened?" Adrian's voice sliced through the celebratory noise as he pushed his way to stand by her at the side of the great hall."Adrian, I can still barely believe it," Flora replied, her voice a blend of cautious joy and ongoing incredulity. "The King's Edict. It's altered everything for us and for the pack.""Yes," Adrian took a breath. "I surrendered my Alpha status for you, for our future, and now it seems the impossible has become our reality."Flora's voice shook with hope and fear. "A future where we can love without betraying our duty, where our hearts are not sundered by ancient canons. But at what price, Adrian? Can our love really overcome the weight of centuries of tradition?"Adrian's eyes glimmered. "I know that the sacrifices were immense, and the wounds sliced deep. I recall every instant of regret, every tear you cried as I lusted after power. But in this moment, with you by my side, I feel the promise of a new dawn."Flora stu

The Edict of the Lycan King " Adrian, to the throne room incontinently," growled a commanding voice in the corridor speakers. Adrian's strained, low voice replied," Yes, Captain Morales. I will be there in a moment." Moments later, in a hushed expectation room, the Lycan King stated" Adrian, you've submitted your repudiation letter, right? Adrian cleared his throat, the tone establishment yet laced with fear," Yes, Your Majesty. I've surrendered my Alpha status, for I realize that my path now must be mandated by nothing but the issues of the heart, not the suffocating weight of obligation." The King's deep voice thundered," Your adoption has not been given without consideration. Tell me, Adrian, what led you to make this most vainglorious decision? Adrian took a conscious breath before responding," Sire, for times I've carried the burden of my once — my miscalculations, my failure and it has brought me further than any crown ever could. I lost the love of my life, an

A New Daw Flora's answer was conservative," I'll consider your offer, Adrian. But this I do know if our life together is to be but a deeper pain, I'm not willing to immolate the loss of myself, my responsibility, for a love that may yet be too weak to survive." Unshed gashes filled Adrian's eyes as he rumored," Flora, I understand your fear. I know that our history is full of pain, but I believe if we do this together, we can forge a new path. One where every immolation is not a loss, but an pledge — a pledge to make a future that honors who we are." Flora's voice shook," And what if our pledges break under the weight of our old injuries? What if our marriage, refashioned by love and duty, is n't enough to heal the ancient injuries of treason? Adrian's voice held a blend of despair and stopgap," also we will face that ineluctability together. I'm willing to risk all on the possibility of redemption, on a tomorrow when we might be free at last from the ghosts of our h

A Bold Offer " Flora, we need to talk," Adrian said, his voice rough and pulsing with genuine determination. " Adrian, I am harkening," Flora replied, her voice cautious but with a touch of craving. " Every night I lie awake allowing about what we lost, and I can no longer tolerate this silence," Adrian continued. " Silence, yes, but remorse as well," Flora answered, her voice slightly above a tale." I still flash back the dreams we pictured, the moments when we believed nothing could pull us apart." " I know," Adrian said vocally." I flash back the nights beneath the stars when you laughed, when our dreams were unencumbered and simple. But also I let my duty, my ambition, get in the way." Flora's tone turned cold," You allowed ambition to take priority over our love, Adrian. I constructed my life upon the oath of a participated future — a future that now appears so far down. " I offered my title, my power, everything for the pledge of that future," Adrian contend

A Union Readdressed " Adrian, please?" Flora's tremulous but strong voice pierced the muted hum of the command center as they entered a quiet alcove out of sight of the inquiring eyes of their classmates. Adrian drew in near, his tone soft and counted with anguish." Flora, I know our lives have gone so far in contrary directions, but I've to ask — do you ever still dream of us? Of a life where our love is n't measured only by duty?" Flora's eyes flashed both wistful and guarded pain." I did, formerly, Adrian. I allowed once that there was going to be a future in which I just was Flora not a title, not any prospects just us. But whenever I try to flash back it, I get hit with all the offerings that we made and the scars that still shape us." Adrian's tone dropped to a husky tale." I will relinquish everything, Flora. I relinquished my title, my power, because I wish for a chance at that future with you. I want a normal, loving family life with you. I understand it'll be

Sacrificial Promises " Flora, I must speak with you — now," Adrian prompted, his voice coarse and pulsing with resoluteness as he walked toward her in the vacated corner of the command center. Flora's tone was peaceful but miserable." Adrian, I know what you are going to tell me. You have one chance to make this right.". Adrian's reply was nippy," I have made my decision. I can no longer be Alpha, not when my heart is broken because of my miscalculations." Flora's face tensed as she asked," You relinquish your Alpha status? Do you have any idea the cost that comes with it, Adrian? " I get it, I know," he contended," and I would pay that price if it would allow me to be with you, if it would allow me to rebuild what we lost and make a future together as a family." Flora's voice shook with stopgap and sadness," Adrian, you understand that stepping down is not just a selfish act it will shake the roots of our pack. Your position was a source of strength and leadership.".

The Crossroads “ Flora, we’ve reached a point where everything changes, ” Adrian said, his voice heavy with an admixture of stopgap and despair as they met in a quiet room down from the chaos of the base. Flora's tone was invested with conservative resoluteness," Adrian, all the seconds we have participated, every mistake and every gash — everything has led us then. But seriously, do you really believe that our future together can atone for the injuries of our history?" Adrian's aspects dredged over hers, regretful and hankering," I do. I believe that love is not about betrayals or broken pledges. I believe that if we are stalwart enough to face our demons, if we choose each other at this moment — we can produce something real." Flora's voice quivered," And what if our love is too broken, too stained by the injuries we carry? Every word you say makes me recall abandonment, nights of loneliness, wondering if I earn it. How can we continue when each step is a step into

A Reckoning Of Love " Flora, we need to talk — now, without pretense," Adrian contended, his voice bare and pulsing as he stepped into the quiet room where they had agreed to meet out of sight of prying eyes. Flora's voice was low and bitter," Adrian, every time we speak, I'm reminded of everything you did n't say and do. What's it you have to say now?" I want to reveal all of the trueness," he replied, his eyes flashing." I'm tired of acting as if my regrets and miscalculations are only echoes in an empty hallway. I know I hurt you — I hurt you so deeply that the injuries still scream every night." Flora's comeback was sharp," also tell me, Adrian! Say what's in your heart that you've hidden behind your poltroonery for so long. Adrian took a shaking breath," Flora, I still love you. I know what I did killed the trust we participated, but the love I feel — it did not evaporate. It's buried under piles of remorse, yes, but it's there. I wake up each morning visited by

Opinions Of The Heart " Flora, can I speak with you?" Marissa's gentle voice cut through the quiet of the command diggings. Flora's reply was soft but with a hint of prostration," Of course, Marissa. I I have had so much on my mind recently.". Marissa stepped closer, her own voice a tale," I know the burden of your choices upon you. Every day, I see you floundering with opinions that can change everything — for you, and for that youthful life within you." Flora soughed," Every morning, I wake up in fear that I am losing myself, that the injuries of treason and remorse have made me unable of loving again. I ask myself if fatherhood would ever be a mending source, or if it'll only remind me of everything that is been shattered." Marissa's voice was soft," Flora, flash back when you said to me that love was a pledge indeed in the blackest hour? Is the pledge still echoing in your heart, despite the pain? Flora's reply was tortured," It does, Marissa. There's a pa
