As my son once said, he didn’t want this father anymore.
So I was willing to do whatever it took to sever the mate bond with Anthony.
In the crystal healing room, Anthony was treating Lucas’s wounds.
His voice was so gentle, a tone he’d never used with Andrew, “The silver poison hasn’t been completely cleansed. He needs to stay in the treatment room for another two days.”
Lucas appeared to be trying to act responsible, “Do I need to stay longer? I heard Andrew was also injured. Maybe the healer should treat him first? The pack rules say that strong wolves should give way to weaker ones.”
Just hearing Andrew’s name made Anthony’s face harden, “No need. He inherited my healing ability. Unless there’s a large amount of silver damaging his body, a few more days of treatment won’t matter.”
Lucas seemed amused by Anthony’s words, but I could see the smugness in his brown eyes—he was proud of having killed my son!
I glared at Lucas. I would personally tear out the throat of “this beast”!
Anthony seemed to sense the danger, shielding Lucas behind him like a protective parent, “Where’s Andrew? Why is it just you? That coward didn’t even dare come apologize?”
I found everything before me utterly absurd, “Respectful Alpha, my son is dead. He can’t come apologize to your son.”
Anthony was furious, “What is wrong with you? I’ve explained this to you countless times!”
I laughed, tears streaming down my face, “I know. I’ve heard it a hundred times. Ivy was abandoned by her mate, and a mother wolf has it hard raising her cubs, especially alone. As the Alpha of the pack, it’s your responsibility to care for them!”
“Isn’t it laughable? You’re supposed to be my mate, my son’s father, yet because Ivy is afraid of the dark, you abandon me when I’m ill and spend your nights guarding her; because Lucas gives you one look, you send away the puppy Andrew loved so much.”
“That puppy was killed by Lucas. Andrew cried for two days over it, and yet you scolded him for not being strong enough!”
“Hearing all of this, it seems like I’m the one abandoned by my mate, and Andrew is the one without a father!”
Anthony was enraged by my words. He let out a roar, and the pressure of an Alpha’s dominance made me tremble—
“Grace Howl, as Luna, how can you be so jealous? No wonder your son always bullies Lucas—looks like you taught him badly!”
“Why don’t you learn from Ivy? She raised Lucas to be so well-behaved, even though your son bullied him, he still went to save your son! And you—what do you do? You’re like a crazy mother wolf, snapping at anyone who crosses your path!”
I closed my eyes, but the tears wouldn’t stop falling.
Who bullied whom?
Andrew was gentle by nature, but Lucas, relying on Anthony’s favor, had always bullied him.
I had always thought the wolf cubs were just playing around, until I discovered countless blood claw marks on Andrew’s body!
Before I had a chance to confront Anthony, he came back and beat Andrew up, locking him in the Blood Abyss for three days and nights.
The reason? Lucas reported that Andrew had bullied him.
Since then, Andrew had been bullied relentlessly, but never said a word to Anthony. He didn’t want to disappoint his father, so he chose to endure.
I suddenly realized how meaningless all of this was, “Anthony, let’s sever the mate bond.”
