Three days later, I returned to the Moonshadow Pack, and Anthony immediately appeared before me, as if he had been waiting for my scent.
“Grace, how dare you block my link! Do you know how many times I’ve tried to contact you over the past three days?!” His golden eyes were filled with rage, and when he noticed a strange werewolf standing beside me, he sneered, “Who is this lone wolf? Is he the reason you want to sever our mate bond?”
He stood there like an alpha wolf protecting his territory, “I warn you, she is my Luna! Get out of my pack!”
I hadn’t seen Anthony show such an emotional reaction in a long time. Ever since Ivy and Lucas had come into the picture, his heart had been claimed by another mother wolf.
Now, that I had decided to leave him, he suddenly acted as if he cared deeply.
“Anthony, this is my honored guest from the Icefield Pack. And I’m no longer your Luna. I’ve signed the agreement to sever the mate bond. As long as you sign as well, we’ll be separated, and you can take care of Lucas and Ivy as you see fit.”
Anthony didn’t respond to my words; he thought I was simply sulking.
The Alpha from the Icefield Pack, William, removed his hat and respectfully addressed Anthony, “It seems you’ve not only lost a promising heir, but also a beautiful Luna.”
Anthony, maintaining his Alpha dignity, commanded an Omega to escort William to the awards ceremony.
He shot me a furious look, “Grace Howl, you moved on so quickly and found another werewolf. Does he know you abandoned your cub just to go on a date with him?”
“How could you act like this as a mother? For three days, Andrew didn’t come home, and I couldn’t sense his presence. Yet you left the pack alone and blocked all mind links!”
I stared coldly at Anthony, realizing he was projecting his own faults onto me.
—When my son was on the verge of death, Anthony was hugging Ivy and praying for Lucas!
I remained silent, but I could feel his anger intensifying. He gripped my shoulders roughly, his sharp claws digging into my flesh. “Where did he hide? The awards ceremony is about to start, did he run away again? That coward! What else can he do except run?!”
“When he returns, I’m locking him in the Blood Abyss for three months. No matter how much you beg, I won’t show mercy!”
It hurt.
It hurt everywhere.
The ancient and mysterious power of the wolf clan seemed to awaken within me.
Anthony noticed my face turning pale and involuntarily released my shoulders, “Lucas is about to become the youngest recipient of the Hero Medal, while your son can’t even muster the courage to stand up and apologize!”
