Chapter 8: The Severed Bond
Last Updated:
2024-12-11 20:31:55Ragnor’s POV
The silence in the room was suffocating—an unrelenting weight, pressing down on me with the force of a thousand unspoken words. I stood at the foot of the bed, my gaze locked on Valkyrie, lying motionless at its center. Her fragile form was a stark contrast to the woman I had known—pale, lifeless, her shallow breaths a faint whisper in the air. Her lips were cracked, and the defiance that once burned in her eyes was gone, replaced by a vulnerability I never thought I’d see. The once proud and indomitable Valkyrie now looked... defeated. I wasn’t prepared for this. I never thought I would witness this. She had meant nothing to me—someone I’d chosen to sever ties with long ago. But now, seeing her like this, broken and vulnerable, something twisted inside me. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her. The door creaked open, and Gamma Dwayne entered, his face unreadable. Behind him, the pack doctor followed, his expression grim, his eyes scanning the room as though seeking answers to questions I couldn’t ask. "Alpha," Dwayne’s voice cut through the stillness, laced with unspoken concern. The doctor moved to Valkyrie’s side with swift precision, his fingers brushing against her skin as he began his examination. I stood by the door, arms crossed, trying to appear unaffected, but my eyes betrayed me—they never left her. “What’s wrong with her?” My voice was sharper than I intended, slicing through the silence like a blade. The doctor hesitated, brow furrowed as he examined her with meticulous care. "Her body is weak…" His voice trailed off, his fingers gliding over her skin and pausing on the bruises that marred her arm, before moving to others scattered across her body. He leaned in, his face tightening in concern. "What is this?" "She fell in the ravine," I explained flatly, avoiding his gaze. Dwayne raised an eyebrow, questioning me without speaking. “That’s what I was about to mention,” I said, turning to Dwayne. He nodded, his interest piqued, waiting for me to continue. “I ran into Zane down there. At first, I thought he was threatening me… but… uhm… he was just rambling, talking nonsense about Valkyrie.” The words caught in my throat, and I cursed myself. Why was I choking up in front of Dwayne? Why did his calm gaze make me feel so exposed? “I see, Alpha,” Dwayne replied, his voice nonchalant, unaware of the storm that had just shaken me. No suspicion. No understanding of the war within me. I turned my attention back to Valkyrie as the doctor continued his examination. "Bruises aside," the doctor muttered, his tone more clinical now, "she hasn’t been eating or resting properly. And these symptoms—these are strange." I rubbed my temples, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. "I… we were once mates," I began, my voice betraying a weakness I wasn’t used to showing. "But I rejected her. Severed the bond." The doctor’s expression softened, his eyes flicking from Valkyrie’s frail form back to me. "Ah. The bond’s severance…" His gaze turned somber. "It’s as if her very essence is unraveling, Alpha." His words hit me like a blow to the chest, tightening my breath. My face remained impassive, but inside, I felt the gnawing ache of his revelation. "Fix it," I ordered, my voice steady but the words themselves biting with an edge I didn’t expect. The doctor raised his gaze, wariness creeping into his features. "With all due respect, Alpha, healing from rejection isn’t something I can treat with herbs or medicine alone. It requires time, care—and," he hesitated, almost unwilling to say it, "the presence of the one she’s bonded to." I froze. Me. The meaning was clear. But it was a thought I couldn’t entertain. “That’s not an option,” I replied coldly, my words creating a hard wall between myself and everything that threatened to pull me in. The doctor nodded, uncomfortable but resigned. "I’ll do what I can, but without the bond, she is at risk of succumbing to the strain." Risk. Succumbing. The words echoed in my mind, relentless and unyielding. Every syllable hammered into me like a drumbeat of impending doom. The doctor worked in silence, administering herbs and damp cloths with the careful precision of someone who knew their craft. Valkyrie’s breathing steadied slightly, but her color never returned, leaving her looking ghostly pale. Dwayne stood by the door, his eyes flicking between me and Valkyrie, his face unreadable. "Alpha," he said softly, breaking the oppressive quiet. "Should I prepare the carriage to take her to the infirmary?" “No,” I snapped, the word leaving my lips before I could stop it. The sharpness of my response surprised even me. Dwayne raised an eyebrow but said nothing, understanding my tone better than anyone. I was not to be questioned. “She stays here,” I added, my voice final, dismissing any further discussion. Dwayne gave a short, respectful nod and left, leaving only the doctor and me in the room. The minutes stretched on, and I found myself pacing the floor, each step feeling heavier than the last. My boots scraped against the wood, the sound adding to the suffocating silence. The weight on my chest was unbearable, and I hated it. I hated how helpless I felt. I hated how powerless I was. "Valkyrie… You’d better get better by tomorrow," I whispered, more to myself than to her. The thought of her lying weak before me for much longer wasn’t something I could accept. I won’t let her be like this… Not for long. Never.Related chapters
His Hybrid Luna Chapter 9: Once My Mate
Ragnor's POV The doctor’s work was done, but he moved slowly, packing his supplies with an excruciating deliberation that only served to amplify my impatience. Each movement felt like a beat of time I couldn’t afford. "She needs to rest, Alpha,” he said, his voice measured, his eyes flicking to Valkyrie’s prone form as though he still sought something in her silence. “I’ve done what I can for now, but her recovery... it depends on whether she can regain her strength. And...” He hesitated, his gaze briefly meeting mine before falling away. “And what?” I demanded, my voice a sharp. I didn’t have time for riddles. Not now. He shifted uncomfortably, his voice lowering. “Her bond with you... it’s still faintly present. If you—” “That’s enough!” I snapped, my patience shattered. The last thing I needed was the doctor’s speculation, his quiet hints, or any reminder of what I had severed. The doctor quickly bowed his head, a look of relief passing over his face before he exited the ro

Ragnor's POV The sudden bang of the door jolted me upright. My head snapped toward the intrusion, my senses instantly on high alert. The maid stood frozen in the doorway, her wide eyes filled with terror as they flickered between Valkyrie and me. She was as pale as the moonlight that streamed through the window, her trembling hands clutching a tray of linen like a lifeline. “A... Alpha!” she stammered, her voice shaking so much it barely resembled words. “I—I didn’t mean to disturb you!” “What in hell’s name are you doing here?” I barked, the growl in my voice sharp enough to make her flinch. Her knees almost buckled as she stammered out her excuse, her words tumbling over each other in a chaotic rush. “I was ordered to clean the chambers, Alpha. I didn’t know… I didn’t know anyone would still be inside.” “Ordered to clean? At this hour?” My voice, low and deadly, carried the promise of consequences if she didn’t explain herself quickly. “Beta Tasya,” she whispered, her lips ba

Val's POVA haze. A fog. That’s all I can remember. I was in my room, the pup safe on the rug. Then came the fever—a relentless inferno consuming me from within. I staggered to the kitchen, desperate for relief. Herbs, a potion, anything. But the cupboards mocked me, bare and unforgiving. My desperation echoed in the silence. I stumbled outside, the world blurring at the edges. My knees buckled, a desperate plea rising from my lips to the heavens—or to anyone who might listen. Then, through the fog, a dim light beckoned. Ragnor’s chamber.A place steeped in childhood memories, now tainted with distant nostalgia. Once, he was gentle—a boy who promised care and companionship. But that was before he vanished, leaving me adrift. He had gone abroad to study. Or so they said. In truth, it was a facade, a fragile mask to conceal a darker truth: a madness he battled silently. A secret burden he carried, hidden to protect the family’s honor. The Alpha’s son—a madman. A shameful sec

Val's POVRagnor’s gaze met mine, a storm brewing behind those dark, conflicted eyes. "You don’t know what you’re asking," he warned, his tone rough, nearly a growl. But I didn’t back down—I couldn’t. "Then tell me," I replied, my voice trembling with a desperation I couldn’t hide. His jaw tightened as though he was fighting something deep, primal. For a moment, I thought he might walk away again, leaving me in this torment. But instead, he leaned closer, his breath brushing over my fevered skin, warm and intoxicating. "If I stay," he said softly, his voice raw, "I can’t hold back." A shiver ran through me, anticipation and uncertainty colliding. Was this what I wanted? No, it wasn’t a question—I already knew the answer. "Then don’t," I said, the reckless challenge escaping my lips before I could second-guess it. The space between us evaporated. His lips crashed into mine, fierce and unrelenting, igniting something deep within me. A moan escaped my lips as his kiss claime

Ragnor's POVThe heat lingered, wrapping itself around the room like a smothering fog. Her scent—wild, intoxicating—clung to me, an unrelenting reminder of what had just unfolded. Or almost unfolded. Yet here she was again, crumpling like a flower beneath a storm, her body betraying her resolve. She was fainting. Again. “Fuck!” The word ripped from my throat, raw and guttural, as I fought to steady my breathing. My hands hovered over her limp form, trembling with restraint. Moments ago, she had been a force—a tempest of need and defiance. Her touch, her gaze, the whispered challenge in her voice had set me ablaze. She’d ignited something in me I’d worked so hard to bury, something primal, dangerous. And now? Now she lay there, fragile and unguarded, a cruel juxtaposition to the fire she had sparked within me. “Val...” Her name escaped my lips, more plea than reprimand. “You’re killing me…” I ran a hand through my hair, the frustration boiling beneath my skin.

I had planned to check on Ragnor tonight, to subtly plant my spy and keep him company under the guise of concern. But now, he already had company?“How the hell is that happening?!” I roared, my voice echoing through the lavish room as I spun toward the trembling maid who had brought me the news.Her face was pale, her hands clutching the hem of her apron as though it might shield her from my wrath. She looked as if she might collapse under the weight of my fury.“My Lady, I don’t know,” she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.“Don’t stutter!” I snapped, stepping closer, towering over her shrinking form. “What exactly did you see?”“It was Valkyrie, my Lady,” she stammered. “She was brought to his chambers.”“Brought to his chambers.” The words stabbed through me, each syllable a dagger.“That whore,” I spat, venom lacing every word.

Val’s POV“Valkyrie... I need you to be honest with me.”Luna Dowager’s voice was soft, deceptively gentle, but the fire in her emerald eyes burned with unyielding ferocity. Those eyes, which once felt like a sanctuary shielding me from the icy whispers of the pack, now turned into daggers of scrutiny.“Yes, Luna?” I forced a smile, but it faltered under her intense gaze. She often called me her adopted daughter, yet the truth hung heavy between us. I was an orphan. A tool. A debt she intended to collect.“Have you... felt it yet?” she asked, her tone calm, though the steel beneath it was unmistakable.“Felt what, Luna?”“Your wolf, Valkyrie.”The words struck like a lash, tearing through my fragile defenses. My wolf—the missing half of me I had prayed for, screamed for, begged the Moon Goddess to awaken—remained silent.“I... I don’t know, Luna,” I admitted, my throat tight with shame.Her expression hardened, the warmth in her gaze shattering like glass. “What do you mean, you don’t

Val's POV "Say it, Val!" Ragnor's hands gripped my shoulders, shaking me as though my silence was a crime. His voice thundered, but I could see the fury, or was it disgust, in his reddened eyes. "I..." My voice wavered, broken under the weight of his command. "Accept the rejection, Val!" he roared. His tone carried a venom that pierced straight through me. Was the thought of being mated to me so unbearable for him? So humiliating? "I... Valkyrie of the Blue Fire Pack, accept this rejection," I whispered, the words like shards of glass ripping through my chest. My heart burned, as though someone had ripped it out and stomped on it. I could hardly breathe, and tears spilled freely, blurring my vision. I didn’t dare look at Ragnor. The idea of him finding amusement in my pain was too much to bear. But all I heard was a low growl—a sound that somehow echoed my own devastation—before his heavy steps faded. He left me. Without hesitation. Without mercy. "Val!" Nancy rushed

His Hybrid Luna Chapter 7: Rejection Symptoms
Ragnor's POV The image lingered in my mind—a small, fragile figure that stood defiant even when she had no right. Valkyrie. Her reckless actions grated on me. How could someone so insignificant invite so much trouble? A knock disrupted my thoughts. “Alpha,” Gamma Dwayne’s voice came before the door opened. He entered, his expression tense. “What is it?” My tone was clipped, betraying my exhaustion. My body felt strangely weak, a heaviness that was uncharacteristic. “You don’t look well,” Dwayne remarked cautiously. “I need rest. Handle anything else yourself.” I waved him off, turning toward the chair by the window. “Alpha, the Madam is here.” I paused mid-step. Of course, she would come. She always appeared when I least wanted company. “Let her in.” The door opened wider, and my mother stepped in, her heels clicking against the stone floor with deliberate precision. Her eyes immediately scanned me, narrowing when they caught sight of the faint cut across my cheek. “You’r

Val’s POVThe ominous howl echoed through the forest, silencing every other sound. Even the wind seemed to hesitate, as if it, too, feared whatever lurked beyond the treeline.“Stay behind me,” Ragnor commanded, his voice low but unyielding, laced with an authority that left no room for argument.I hesitated, clutching the pup tighter. “Ragnor, what’s out there?”His eyes stayed locked on the darkness, sharp and unrelenting. Every muscle in his body was taut, ready for whatever danger approached. Finally, he muttered, “Something worse than a rogue.”Worse than a rogue? Panic twisted my stomach, clawing its way into my chest.Before I could press further, a figure emerged from the shadows, its presence sending a chill down my spine. This wasn’t like the rogue that had attacked me. This wolf didn’t snarl or lunge. It simply stood there, its coat a mottled gray streaked with black, and amber eyes gleaming with unsettling intelligence.Ragnor growled, his posture shifting, hands flexing a
