We both stood up and faced each other, knowing it was time for the last step - rejecting each other as mates.I pursed my lips, somehow not wanting to say those words, but Charlotte said the rejection words without hesitation.“I, Charlotte Adler, Luna of the Red Claw Pack, reject you, Hayden Fallon
•• Charlotte’s POV •••The moment I sat in my car, my body began trembling, and my tears started to fall again.I was prepared for the pain of untying the matebond, but it turned out to be more than agonizing than I had thought.What was worse, when I met Hayden’s eyes, I felt there were no more tie
“Don't worry; I’m not here to beg Hayden. He doesn't deserve me,” I said smugly and handed him a pen before he could say anything.He looked at the pen, and a suspicious expression appeared on his face.“I’m leaving this pack forever, but before that, I have to give this gift to Hayden and you guys.
•• Hayden’s POV •••I saw Sofia’s disheveled state, but I couldn't care less about it at this moment.“Sofia... I heard from someone that you were the one who deliberately framed Charlotte so she would leave the pack,” I told her coldly. I didn't tell her that it was Charlotte who gave Noah the evid
“Hayden, you stupid fuck! The evidence clearly shows that it was Sofia’s fault, and you still believe her just because she acted pitiful? You are really a moron!” Rhett yelled at me.I was about to retort to him when I heard Noah’s voice through the mindlink. “Alpha, the pack knew about the recordin
•• Hayden’s POV •••The pack’s higher-ups (me, Noah, my Gamma, and subordinates) had all become restless as the scandal continued to spread and even worsen to the point it couldn't be contained anymore.“Have you guys found Charlotte yet?” I mindlinked Noah and all my subordinates.It had been a few
I didn't need anything reminding me of someone who preferred not to be my mate anymore.My hand went to touch the framed wedding picture, but I hesitated to throw it away. Instead, I opened the bottommost drawer of my desk and stuffed it inside, under all documents.Out of sight, out of mind, I thou
•• Charlotte’s POV •••Five days later…“Urgghhh…” I tugged at the skirt of my gown. Today was the day of the banquet my Dad had prepared for me, and I was dressed in a beautiful dark purple gown with a sweetheart neckline that showed off my cleavage nicely and which literally had diamonds scattered
He nodded fervently and repeated my words like a mantra, “You are right. My woman is always right; even when you are wrong, you are right.”And I couldn’t hold back my laughter anymore.“You better remember that,” I warned him.“I will,” he promised earnestly, adding, “We better finish our shower so
•• Rosa’s POV •••“Jax... What... What are you doing here?”He didn’t answer my question but began taking his clothes off while gazing at me with such a scorching gaze that it made me blush.When he was naked, he stepped in front of me and pulled away my hand and arm, pinning them above my head with
“You wanted to give me the stone? So there shouldn’t be any tests?” I asked her incredulously.She stayed silent, and I knew who the real culprit was.I stood up and glared at the only mischievous person in the room. “Dad!”“Rosa, my daughter, I wanted to show the Witch Queen of your power so far,”
•• Rosa’s POV •••Just what in the world is going on?“Rosa, are you okay?” Ari asked as she helped me to stand up.“What... How are you here?” I asked in shock. “What’s going on?”“Let’s talk once we get out of here, okay?” she asked and led me to the portal.“Wait!” I stopped moving. “Jax...”“Don
I didn’t struggle.I had chosen to be the sacrifice so Rosa could live, but I felt a pang in my heart when I saw tears running down Rosa’s beautiful face.Was this how our relationship was supposed to be?Were we really not meant to be together?“Jax!” Rosa stood up and ran toward me, only to be thr
•• Jaxon’s POV •••I drove a distance away from them, enough for them not to notice but close enough for me not to lose sight of them.It wasn’t a wonder Dagon hid the stone at his last hideout.Damn demon, I thought to myself.What a pussy for using such a trick to wipe out the whole world after hi
“Dad? Elder? Lillian?” I called out to them as I looked around my surrounding only to be replied by the echoes of my own voice.Shit, this was bad!I never thought we would be separated like this!How in the world was I going to find the crys-Suddenly, I felt a very dark aura from the crystal that
•• Rosa’s POV •••After saying goodbye to Max and Ari, the four of us got into the car with Dad, in his real appearance as the driver, the Elder wizard sitting on the front passenger seat while Lillian and I sat at the back.I glanced around secretly and couldn’t find any sign of Jaxon, which I thou
The thought of Rosa dying made my heart feel like it stopped beating as my fear for her safety intensified.“Jax, Rosa might die. We can’t let it happen. We can’t let it happen,” Rhun kept mumbling in my mind and paced around, ready to take over my body to stop Rosa from going.“I will go with her.
