04:39Emilia's health has always been fragile
04:41A postpartum nurse might not be able to care for her properly
04:44I don't feel comfortable with her being alone
04:46So I'm having her move into our den until she delivers
04:52Take good care of her these next few days
04:55She loves shrimp
04:56Make sure you prepare some for her every day
04:58The bitter ache in my chest sharpened
05:01He could rattle off Emilia's favorite food without a second thought
05:04But he had completely forgotten that I was deathly allergic to shrimp
05:08I couldn't even touch it
05:10I was carrying his pup inside me
05:12An alpha heir
05:13Yet he had never once mentioned hiring anyone to help take care of me
05:17Instead he was ordering me to wait on another she-wolf
05:20Completely oblivious to the fact that I too
05:23Was in the final stretch of my own pregnancy
05:25I couldn't hold back any longer
05:26Marcus, I'm carrying your pup
05:28Marcus blinked
05:29Then glanced down toward my belly
05:31As though the fact had only just occurred to him
05:33Oh, right, you're pregnant too
05:35A brief flicker of embarrassment crossed his face
05:37Then he composed himself into his usual dispassional alpha expression
05:40You must be what, five or six months along by now?
05:42The pup's stable at that stage
05:43Cooking a few meals won't hurt you
05:45Once Emilia has her pup
05:45She's delicate and weak
05:46Not as strong as you
05:47She needs you to help her look after the cub
05:49You can rest once you've given birth
05:53Listening to the words coming out of his mouth
05:55I suddenly felt the overwhelming urge to laugh
05:57I had never expected him to treat me the way he treated Emilia
06:01But even I hadn't imagined he wouldn't even know how many months pregnant I was
06:05I was carrying his own bloodline
06:06The heir to the Kane dominion
06:08And he had never once truly held it in his heart
06:12Forget it
06:13I let out a hollow, self-mocking laugh
06:16Marcus, however, took it as me refusing to help
06:19His voice hardened with displeasure
06:21Don't tell me you're planning on making Emilia
06:23A new mother in recovery
06:25Turn around and take care of you?
06:27She'll barely have the strength to look after her own pup
06:29Let alone wait on you
06:30The thing my brother worried about most
06:32Right before he died in that battle
06:33Was Emilia and the pup
06:34I have to make sure they're taken care of
06:36As my bonded mate
06:37Your heart and your thoughts should be aligned with mine
06:40Before I could utter another word
06:42His phone buzzed again
06:44Marcus had exhausted what little patience he'd had for me
06:47He grabbed his jacket and rushed out the door
06:53The door slammed shut behind him
06:55And silence reclaimed the den
06:59I don't know how much time passed before the den's lock chimed
07:03Emilia walked in, one hand braced against her lower back
07:06Behind her, hauling her luggage, was Marcus' most trusted bea subordinate
07:10The one Marcus valued above all others in the pack
07:13All those times in the past when I'd asked that beta for the smallest favor
07:16Marcus had accused me of abusing his position as Alpha's mate
07:19But now he dispatched his most valued pack members entirely to Emilia's side
07:22Flanked by his personal staff, Emilia swept into the den and surveyed the lavish surroundings
07:26Then she turned to me with a smile
07:29Sophie, I'm so sorry to impose on you like this over the coming days
07:33The beta subordinate hovered close behind her
07:35Eyeing me with undisguised warriness
07:38I lowered my gaze and kept my voice even
07:40It's fine, come in
07:42Then I turned and walked into the kitchen
07:43With my heavy belly leading the way, I made a bowl of pasta for Emilia
07:47By the time I came back out, she was directing the pack staff as they reapprained the furniture
07:55Sophie, Marcus insisted they swap out all the furniture for pieces without sharp corners
07:59He even made sure there were no chemical odors
08:01He said he couldn't risk anything making me uncomfortable
08:03She glanced down at my belly
08:06Come to think of it, you're carrying too
08:08You really should be taking these same precautions
08:10I answered flatly
08:12She pivoted seamlessly, her voice taking on a coy, almost chatting sweetness
08:17He really is something, isn't he?
08:19Keeping something as big as your pregnancy from me all this time
08:22He didn't even give me a chance to get you a gift
08:25Her voice was soft as silk, yet every word cut sharper than any claw
08:30Drawing blood no one could see
08:34But she carried on as though my feelings were completely invisible to her
08:38Sophie, thank you for being so tolerant and understanding these past six months
08:43After Marcus's brother fell in battle, it felt like the sky had come crashing down on top of me
08:47There were so many nights I thought about taking the pup and just going to join him in the afterlife
08:51Marcus was terrified I might do something drastic
08:56He lay on the floor beside my bed every single night
08:59The Wolf King himself, sleeping on cold stone for me
09:03He didn't dare leave me alone for even a moment
09:05My morning sickness was brutal
09:07Marcus made me warm soup by hand
09:09He fed me my medicine himself
09:11He tracked down every heel across the territory to try and ease my symptoms
09:15If it weren't for him, I honestly don't know how I would have survived
09:19She smiled
09:21Even when his brother was still alive, he never took care of me the way Marcus has
09:25I bit down so hard on my lip that I tasted copper
09:27Barely managing to hold my composure
09:29Amelia and I had been carrying it almost exactly the same time
09:32When her morning sickness was at its worst, I was suffering just as miserably
09:36Utterly debilitated by my own symptoms
09:39Back then, I couldn't keep anything down
09:41In less than two weeks, I lost over 20 pounds
09:44Physically wrecked and emotionally shattered
09:46I missed Marcus with every fiber of my beaving
09:49But he was too busy taking care of another She-Wolf
09:52So busy, he couldn't spare even a single phone call for me
09:59All I could do was curl up alone in our bed
10:01Clutching his shirt to my chest
10:04Desperate for any trace of his scent
10:05Staring wide-eyed through one endless lonely night after another
10:09He's always been very responsible
10:12My voice came out harny
10:14Ever since I got pregnant, Marcus has come to every single one of my prenatal appointments
10:19All the healers and nurses assumed he was my mate
10:21I had to correct them so many times I lost count
10:24Prenatal appointments
10:26Every time I had asked Marcus to come with me to one of mine, he'd brushed me off
10:30He even called me fragile and spoiled
10:33Said that an Omega about to become a mother should have more grit
10:36Then one day, I happened to run into them at that very healer's facility
10:41There he was, accompanying Amelia to her prenatal appointment
10:44His face lit up with a tenderness I had never once seen directed at me
10:48His voice was soft and gentle as he pested the healer with question after question about her health
10:53Even the healer couldn't help but tease them
10:55In all my years, I don't think I've ever seen an Alpha drolled on his mate this much
10:58You're a very fortunate she-wolf
11:04A flicker of awkwardness passed between Amelia and Marcus
11:09But neither of them corrected the healer
11:11I stood frozen outside the room door
11:14My entire body going cold
11:16The edges of my vision blurring as I nearly collapsed
11:21But in the end, I said nothing
11:23I dragged my nearly unconscious body back to the den alone
11:27That night, I ran a fever of 104 degrees
11:31Drifting in and out of delirium
11:33I called Marcus ten times through the pack mind link
11:35He didn't answer once
11:37The sharp ring of a phone shattered the memory
11:40The caller ID read, Marcus
11:42How is Amelia? Are you taking good care of her?
11:45He was calling my phone, but every question was about her
11:48I lowered my eyes and kept my voice completely level
11:51She's fine
11:52Marcus' tone finally relaxed a degree
11:55Amelia is due any day now
11:57It could happen overnight at any moment
11:59I'm dealing with a territorial dispute at the border
12:01And can't make it back tonight
12:03I need you to sleep on the floor in her room
12:05So someone's there if she needs help in the middle of the night
12:10Perhaps even he realized how cold his words sounded
12:12Because his voice softened, just barely
12:14I know this is hard on you
12:16Once Amelia's finished with her recovery
12:18I'll come home and be with you for your delivery
12:20The very last flicker of hope in my heart
12:21Finally, quietly, went dark
12:24All right
12:25Maybe the emotional upheaval was too much
12:28That very night, my water broke without warning
12:31I collapsed to the floor
12:33Curled into myself, trembling with fear
12:35My omega pheromones spiked wildly with panic and pain
12:38My cries of pain woked Amelia
12:40She startled, instantly moving to climb out of bed
12:42But her body was too heavy and unhandable
12:44She lost her footing
12:45Her foot came down hard on my stomach
12:47She toppled over with a cry
12:49By then, the pain had nearly stripped me of consciousness
12:54I couldn't process whether Amelia's misstep had been an accident
12:58Or something else
13:00With the last shred of strength I had
13:03I grabbed my phone and dialed Marcus
13:06I also tried the pack mind link
13:08Once
13:09Twice
13:10Three times
13:11No answer
13:13At the same moment
13:14Amelia had gotten her hands on her own phone
13:17She dialed
13:18And the call connected almost instantly
13:20Amelia?
13:21What's wrong?
13:25The moment Marcus' worried voice poured through the speaker
13:28Amelia burst into tears
13:29Marcus, I fell
13:31It hurts so much
13:32Marcus' voice instantly pitched into panic
13:34How could Sophie let this happen?
13:36How could she let you fall?
13:38Amelia, don't be scared
13:39I'm coming home right now
13:40Less than ten minutes later
13:42The front door was thrown open
13:43Marcus stormed inside
13:45His alpha aura flooding the den
13:47Seeing both Amelia and me collapsed on the floor
13:50His expression darkened sharply
13:53Sophie, you
13:54He never finished
13:56Amelia's cries of pain cut him off
13:58Marcus, it hurts so much
14:00Please, help me
14:03Marcus rushed over and scooped Amelia into his arms
14:06Already pivoting instinctively toward the door
14:10Perhaps he remembered
14:11In that split second
14:13That I was still lying on the floor
14:15His stride hit it
14:16And his voice came out stiff and wooden
14:19Amelia's about to give birth
14:20It's an emergency
14:21I have to get her to the healer's facility first
14:23I've called the pack medics
14:24They'll be here soon
14:25Just hold on and wait at the den for a little while
14:27He looked like he wanted to say more
14:29But Amelia moaned again in his arms
14:33Marcus, am I dying?
14:35It hurts so much
14:37Marcus turned
14:38And strode away
14:40Still holding her
14:41His voice drifted back through the doorway
14:44Amelia, don't be scared
14:45Marcus is right here with you
14:47As long as I'm here
14:49Nothing bad is going to happen to you
14:50I swear it on my wolf
14:55Bang
14:56The door slammed shut
14:57The den was empty once more
14:59And I was alone
15:00I don't know where I found the strength
15:02But with violently shaking hands
15:04I picked up my phone again
15:06I dialed my mother
15:09Mom, I'm in labor
15:11Tears streamed silently down my face
15:15As the darkness swallowed my consciousness
15:17I whispered to myself
15:21I want to sever the mate bond
15:25When I woke again
15:26I was lying on a healer's bed
15:28Through the fog of semi-consciousness
15:31I heard the healer's urgent voice
15:34Abdominal trauma from external impact
15:36Is causing a complicated labor
15:37Her blood pressure is still dropping
15:38The situation is critical
15:41We need to operate immediately
15:43Have you reached your family?
15:46The nurse paused
15:47And when she spoke
15:48Her voice was tinged with disbelief and exhaustion
15:50I called seven times
15:52The family member said
15:52He's currently accompanying someone more important
15:54Who's also in labor
15:55He doesn't have time to come
15:58Hiausoid
15:58His mate is only five or six months pregnant
16:02So a complicated labor is impossible
16:10He accused us of making things up to harass him
16:13I stared up at the stark white ceiling of the emergency room
16:16I felt nothing but a vast, hollow irony
16:19Even now, at this moment
16:20He still believed I was only five or six months along
16:22All those years of devotion
16:23They had been nothing but a joke
16:25A complete and utter joke
16:26The nurse urged me to try reaching Marcus again
16:29Through the pack mind link
16:31But I gathered what little strength I had and spoke
16:34There's no need
16:36I'll sign the consent form myself
16:39Fighting through the pain
16:40I said to the nurse
16:41Please
16:42Print out a copy of a mate-bond severance petition for me as well
16:47The nurse froze for a beat
16:49Then nodded
16:50Within moments
16:51Both the surgical consent form
16:53And the mate-bond severance petition
16:55Were laid out before me
16:58With the absolute last reserves of my strength
17:01I signed my name
17:02The surgery went relatively smoothly
17:05My parents
17:07Having received my call
17:09Rushed to the healer's facility
17:12Once they confirmed I was out of danger
17:14They immediately arranged for my transfer
17:17To another healer's facility
17:18In a different territory
17:23They repeatedly implored the healers and nurses
17:26Not to contact Marcus again
17:28They also asked the staff to deliver the signed papers to him
17:32Five hours later
17:33I was lying in the top-tier private suite
17:37Of a healer's facility
17:38In a completely different city
17:40At that very same moment
17:42As anesthesia was wearing off
17:47Marcus
17:47The pup
17:49She gazed up at him
17:50Her eyes weak
17:52But unable to conceal
17:53The adoration shining through
17:54For some reason
17:55The image of me collapsed on the floor
17:57My face drained of all color
17:58Suddenly surfaced in Marcus Cain's mind
18:00His wolf stirred restlessly
18:02The look in my eyes back then
18:03Sent a sharp jad through his chest
18:05He found he couldn't meet Amelia's gaze
18:06He quickly grabbed the pup
18:08As an excuse to look away
18:09The pup is perfectly healthy
18:10You're still very weak
18:11Get some rest
18:12And don't worry about anything
18:13He brought the pup close
18:14So she could see
18:15His voice gentle
18:16Amelia tried to speak again
18:17Her body was simply too exhausted
18:19After Marcus helped her drink a little water
18:21She slipped back into a deep sleep
18:26Only then did Marcus hand the pup off to the nurse
18:29He strode out of the room
18:31And hurried towards the surgical wing
18:33A nurse was just emerging through the doors
18:35He stopped her immediately
18:37Excuse me, is Sophie Lane in surgery here?
18:39I'm her alpha
18:40Her bonded mate
18:42The nurse had been the one
18:43Making those calls to Marcus earlier
18:45She knew exactly what had happened
18:47She stared at him
18:48Her expression caught somewhere
18:50Between shock and disbelief
18:51Alpha Cain
18:52What took you so long?
18:55Marcus's tone remained perfectly even
18:56My brother's widow was also in labor
18:58I had to make sure she was taken care of first
19:00Thankfully, both she and the pup are doing well
19:02Now, how is my mate?
19:04The nurse frowned
19:04And her expression grew complicated
19:07Your mate Alpha Cain
19:08Is no longer here
19:09Marcus froze
19:10What do you mean?
19:11Weren't you the ones who called me seven times?
19:13That was ten hours ago, Alpha Cain
19:15Your mate was transferred to another healer's facility by her parents long before you arrived
19:20Marcus stood there, completely paralyzed
19:24Marcus remained frozen in place for a full fifteen seconds before his brain finally seemed to process what the nurse
19:29had said
19:30He stepped forward abruptly, his voice rising
19:32His Alpha dominance bleeding into the air
19:35Which facility was my mate transferred to?
19:36When did she leave?
19:37How did the surgery go?
19:38The nurse took a half step back
19:39Abeya intinctively retreating from an Alpha's pressure
19:42Her expression remained professionally neutral
19:44But a note of guardedness crept into her tone
19:46The patient was in critical condition for a time
19:48But the surgery was successful
19:49She's now out of immediate danger
19:52As for anything further, I'm sorry
19:54But that falls under the patient's right to medical privacy
19:56I can't disclose more than that
19:58Medical privacy?
19:59Marcus stared at her as though she'd just said the most absurd thing he'd ever heard
20:02I'm her Alpha, her bonded mate
20:05I have the right to know everything about her condition
20:07Now tell me, which facility was she transferred to?
20:09The nurse met his eyes without flinching
20:11Even the nurse looked at Marcus with a hint of contempt
20:16She turned
20:17Pulled a document from the nurse's station
20:19And held it out to him
20:22Alpha Cain
20:23Your mate left this for you
20:25Marcus looked down
20:26On the stark white sheet of paper
20:27A bold header in solemn black lettering seared itself into his vision
20:30Petition for mate bond severance
20:32His entire expression seized up
20:34His wolf let out a keening howl inside him
20:36The nurse spoke coolly
20:38Your mate signed this before she went into surgery
20:41Although the bond has not yet been formally severed by the PAC Elder Council
20:45She has already retained counsel and intends to dissolve the bond fully
20:49While proceedings are underway, you can no longer use your status as her Alpha
20:53To unilaterally demand access to her personal information
20:55The nurse pressed the document into Marcus's hands
20:58Marcus stared down at the severance petitional in his hands
21:01The edges of the paper crinkled under his tightening grip
21:04His eyes dropped to the signature line at the bottom
21:07The two words, Sophie Lane, were written unevenly
21:10The strokes trembling visibly
21:15It was clear they had been signed by someone who had poured every ounce of remaining strength into the act
21:20He could picture it perfectly
21:21The way I must have looked when I put that pen to paper
21:24My face asthma and bloodless
21:26My fingers shaking from sheer exhaustion
21:28Yet still clenching my draw and dragging that pen
21:31Stroke by agonizing stroke
21:32Across the page
21:35He knew I wasn't just signing my name
21:37I was signing away everything
21:39Our mate bond
21:40Our PAC
21:41Five years of my life
21:43A clean break
21:45A final, irreversible goodbye
21:49The buzz of his phone jolted Marcus from his days
21:52An unfamiliar number flashed on the screen
21:54Alpha Cain
21:56Mrs. Amelia is awake
21:57She's extremely agitated
21:58She won't stop crying
21:59She's insisting you come back
22:01She says she needs you here
22:03Marcus didn't turn and leave immediately the way he always had before
22:09He stood there
22:10One hand gripping the papers
22:12The other lutching his phone
22:15The voice on the other end kept going
22:17Careful and tentative
22:18We've tried calming her down
22:20But she won't listen to anyone
22:22She's crying uncontrollably
22:24She says she's terrified
22:25She keeps saying she needs to see her Alpha
22:31Sir, would it be possible for you to come?
22:33Every other time Amelia had cried or thrown a fit
22:36Marcus had immediately dropped whatever he was doing
22:38And rushed to her side at top speed
22:40She cried
22:41He soothed
22:42She was scared
22:43He stayed
22:44She needed someone there
22:45He slept on the floor beside her bed
22:46He had told himself it was duty
22:48A debt that had to be repaid
22:50But now, listening to that familiar, plaintiful crying drifting through the phone
22:54What rose up in Marcus' chest wasn't urgency
22:56It wasn't concern
22:57It was something he had never felt before
22:59A surge of raw, uncontrollable irritation
23:03He suddenly remembered the look of utter despair on my face
23:06Right before he'd carried Amelia out the door
23:09The den lights had been dim
23:11He'd been in a frantic rush
23:13So even though something had seemed off
23:15He hadn't stopped to think about it
23:17Now, replaying the scene in his mind
23:19He realized with sicking clarity
23:21There had been fluid seeping beneath me on the floor
23:24Dark streaks that looked understakably like blood
23:31And my belly
23:33It hadn't been the size of someone five or six months pregnant
23:40It had been even larger than Amelia's
23:42The nurse's earlier phone calls had clearly said I was in a complicated labor
23:46Amelia, on the other hand
23:48For all to scream about dying
23:50The healers had confirmed the moment she arrived
23:52That her condition was completely stable
23:54She had simply worked herself into a panic over the pain
23:58Looking back now, there was no question
24:00My situation had been immeasurably more dangerous than hers
24:03And he had ignored his own mate's suffering entirely
24:06He had scooped Amelia up and walked out
24:09Leaving me collapsed on the freezing floor
24:12Marcus couldn't help it
24:13He raised his hand and struck himself
24:14Hard across his own face
24:16Anguish flooded his eyes
24:17His wolf wound, pacing frantically within him
24:19The severance petition burned against his fingers
24:21Like a piece of red-hot iron
24:22But what good was regret now?
24:27The Omega who had once given up everything
24:29Her family, her home, five years of severed ties
24:33Just to bond with him
24:34Had already let him go
24:37A pavoyans on the phone was still waiting for his answer
24:40Alpha Cain, when can we expect you?
24:42Marcus closed his eyes and forced down the storm of emotions
24:45Churning through him
24:46I understand
24:48I'm on my way
24:49Marcus folded the severance petition carefully
24:52And slipped it into the inside pocket of his jacket
24:55Pressed flush against his chest
24:57Right over his heart
24:58Where the mate bond once pulsed warm and steady
25:01The pages weren't physically heavy
25:04But they weighed on him like a stone
25:06On the way, he called a beta subordinate
25:08And ordered him to track down the facility
25:10I had been transferred to
25:11By the time Marcus reached the door to Amelia's room
25:13His hand hadn't even touched the handle
25:15Before a sharp, piercing female voice
25:17Cut through from inside
25:18Are you blind?
25:19You spilled boiling water all over my hand
25:22Are you trying to burn me alive?
25:28Amelia's voice was sterly and biting
25:30Utterly unrecognizable from the soft, fragile persona
25:33He always presented in front of him
25:35Do you have any idea who I am?
25:37If anything happens to me
25:39Do you seriously think you can bear the consequences?
25:41Marcus's hand stopped mid-air
25:43Through the narrow glass panel set into the door
25:46He saw Amelia half-reclined against the headboard
25:49Face flushed with color
25:51Brimming with energy
25:53She didn't look the least bit weak or distressed
25:56A young beta nurse stood beside the bed
25:59Clutching an overturned water cup
26:01The entire front of her uniform was soaked through
26:03Her head hung low as she apologized over and over
26:07I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to
26:09You think sorry fixes everything?
26:13Amelia let out a cold laugh
26:14Tilting her chin up slightly
26:16Let me tell you something
26:17The moment Alpha Marcus gets here
26:19You'll be the first one cast out of this pack
26:21Do you have any clue who I am?
26:24Even the head healer of this facility would have to bow and scrape in front of me
26:28The young beta nurse's face had gone completely white
26:31Her lips trembled violently
26:34The tears she'd been fighting swam in her eyes
26:37And finally spilled over
26:42But she didn't dare talk back
26:44She didn't dare leave
26:45She just stood there frozen
26:48Shoulders quickling as she sobbed in silence
26:50Marcus watched it all unfold
26:52And his face slowly, steadily hardened into stone
26:55The she-wolf he was seeing now bore almost no resemblance to the Amelia he thought he knew
26:59He wasn't sure he had ever known the real her at all
27:02The door handle clicked sharply under his grab as he pushed it down
27:05And the door swung open with a rounding crack
27:07Amelia turned toward the sound
27:09The instant she registered Marcus's face
27:11Every trace of venom and arrogance drained from her expression like a receding tide
27:15In its place bloomed perfect wounded helplessness
27:18Her eyes even glistened with gathering tears
27:20She pointed a trembling finger at the nurse
27:23Marcus, perfect timing
27:25This nurse deliberately poured boiling water on me
27:28It hurt so badly
27:30In the past Marcus would have blindly take Amelia's side without hesitation
27:33He would have granted her anything she asked
27:36But now, all he could see when he looked at this she-wolf was someone utterly nauseatingly fake
27:42Marcus's voice was ice
27:45Apologize
27:48A flicker of triumphant satisfaction danced in Amelia's eyes
27:52She struggled to contain her smugness as she turned towards the nurse
27:55Yes, you need to apologize to me right now
27:58I meant you
28:00Marcus's gaze landed squarely on Amelia's face
28:03Devoid of every trace of the tenderness that had always been there before
28:07The room went deathly silent
28:10The young beta nurse stopped crying altogether
28:13She raised her head in stunned disbelief
28:15Staring at Marcus
28:17W-what did you say?
28:19Amelia stammered
28:20Marcus ignored her completely
28:22He turned to face the shell-shocked nurse
28:24And dipped his head slightly
28:25I'm sorry
28:27The nurse was so startled she flailed her hands in protest
28:30No, please
28:31I failed to keep my conduct in check
28:33And I allowed her to bully you in my name
28:35Rest assured I will handle this
28:37I give you my word
28:39No one in this pack is going to make you suffer
28:41Simply for doing your duty
28:42The young beta nurse's eyes reddened again
28:44But this time, the tears weren't from humiliation
28:47She gave a forceful sniff
28:49Ducked a hasty bow towards Marcus
28:51And fled the suffocating room
28:55Amelia still hadn't recovered from the shock of what had just happened
28:58Marcus, what is that supposed to mean?
29:01You have never, never spoken to me like this
29:04Marcus stood at the foot of her bed
29:05Staring down at her with a coldness she had never seen in his eyes before
29:08You've had your pup
29:09I've fulfilled every promise I made to my brother
29:11From here on, you're on your own
29:13Amelia's pupils contracted violently
29:15She shook her head in desperate denial
29:17The tears splashed onto the blanket
29:18You're lying
29:19You told me you'd take care of us, me and the pup, forever
29:22You're all I have left to lean on
29:24How can you abandon us?
29:25I promised my brother I would look after you until the pup was born
29:31Marcus cut her off
29:33Not for the rest of your life
29:36Amelia's sobs caught in her throat with a sharp, hiccuping gasp
29:40There has never been anything between you and me that exceeded the bounds of pack duty
29:44So don't use words like abandon
29:46Watch your language
29:47Then why were you so good to me?
29:49Amelia's voice scraped out raw and ragged
29:54How was I supposed to not read into it?
29:56How was anyone supposed to not read into it?
29:59Marcus was silent for two full seconds
30:01You're right, it was my fault
30:03I should never have let you develop unrealistic expectations
30:05I had originally intended to keep looking after you and your pup
30:08Out of respect for my brother's sacrifice
30:09But after what I saw today
30:11I now understand that my so-called care hasn't helped you at all
30:14It has only made you arrogant
30:16Arrogant enough to believe you're entitled to stand at my side as alpha female
30:19And arrogant enough to abuse others with that delusion
30:22It's despicable
30:23A violent shudder ran through the woman's body
30:26To have turned my brother's widow into someone like this
30:29That failure is mine
30:30So as of this moment I will no longer involve myself in any of your affairs
30:34The territory and resources my brother left behind are more than enough to support your living expenses
30:38As for everything else, you're on your own
30:41Marcus
30:42Amelia's lips had gone white
30:43Her voice was barely a whisper of air
30:46With that, Marcus turned and walked away
30:51Amelia sat rigid on the bed
30:53Her eyes locked on Marcus' retreating back
30:56The moment she saw his hand close upon the door handle
30:59Raw panic consumed her
31:00Don't go
31:01Ignoring the surgical incision on her abdomen that hadn't yet healed
31:04She threw off the covers and tumbled off the bed
31:07Barefoot and staggling
31:08She lunged toward the door and seized Marcus' sleeve with both hands
31:11Marcus' brow furrowed into a tight knot
31:14Let go
31:14Amelia lifted her head
31:16Her face a mess of tears
31:20Her voice came out jagged and horny
31:22You said it was just a promise, Marcus Cain?
31:25Put your hand on your heart and tell me what part of everything you did for me was just a
31:29promise
31:29Marcus, who'd been trying to pull his arm free, stopped short
31:32Does a promise include having dinner together every night?
31:36Does a promise include sleeping on the floor beside my bed?
31:39Does a promise includes abandoning your own bonded mate to hand-feed me soup and medicine?
31:44Lying on my floor at night
31:46Coming to every single one of my prenatal appointments
31:49Replacing all the furniture in your own den because you were worried I might bump into a sharp corner
31:55Marcus Cain
31:56You call all of that just keeping a promise?
32:02Marcus' face darkened
32:03He wrenched his arm back with a sharp jerk
32:04Breaking can free of her grip
32:05I, Marcus Cain, have a clear conscience when it comes to you
32:08Everything I did was in fulfillment of the promise I made to my brother before he died on that battlefield
32:13If my actions led you to any misunderstandings, that was entirely in your own head
32:19Deprived of her anchor, Amelia collapsed to the floor
32:22A strangled grunt of pain escaped her as the motion wrenched her surgical wound
32:27She looked up at Marcus, tears still streaming, but her eyes no longer held hurt
32:32They held hatred
32:35Misunderstandings?
32:37Amelia laughed, a short, ugly, contemptuous sound
32:41If you were really just looking after your brother's widow
32:45Then why did you never dare let Sophie know what you were doing?
32:50Marcus' breath stopped short
32:51Every time you came to see me, you silenced your phone
32:55Sophie called, you ignored it
32:57Sophie reached for you through the bond
32:59You blocked her out
33:03And you never explained anything to her afterward
33:07You never once told her what that looking after actually entailed
33:10Don't tell me you really didn't know
33:11Try telling any one of those things you did to your pack elders
33:14Try telling Sophie
33:15See if a single wolf among them believes you were just keeping a promise to your brother
33:19You just loved the feeling of being needed
33:21Being someone's whole world, you loved having two she-wolves revolve around you
33:24Sophie gave you the perfect, dutiful mate and a stable den
33:27I gave you the ego boost of playing the savior
33:30But you could never admit it
33:31Because the moment you did, you'd stop being the noble, honorable Alpha
33:35The wolf of duty and sacrifice
33:37You'd be exactly what you are
33:39A faithless coward who betrayed his mate
33:41And doesn't have the guts to face the consequences
33:44So you hid behind that word, promise
33:46And used it to soothe your own conscience
33:50The healer's ward fell into a silence so complete
33:52That only the faint echo of footsteps from the corridor remained
33:55Marcus stood there, paralyzed
33:57Like a statue poured in lead
34:02His wolf had gone utterly silent inside him
34:05His mouth opened
34:06He wanted to deny it, to refute everything
34:09But not a single word came out
34:11By the time he realized what he was doing
34:13His hand was already arcing through the air
34:16It connected with the side of Amelia's face in a brutal slap
34:20But Amelia didn't cry
34:21Her gaze was calmer than it had ever been
34:23The faintest glimmer of a mocking, contemptual smile tugged at the corner of her lips
34:28Looks like I hit a nerve
34:29Marcus' chest heaved
34:31His breathing was ragged and heavy
34:33His alpha pheromones surging wildly
34:35Amelia's smile remained
34:37Her voice dripped with delition
34:39Marcus Cain?
34:41Do you really think you can still go crawling back to Sophie?
34:46Marcus' entire body went rigid
34:48The nurses out in the hallway have been talking about it all day
34:51You abandoned your mate while she was hemorrhaging and in a complicated labor
34:54So you could be at another she-wolf side while she gave birth
34:57Sophie Lane, the omega whose heart you shattered into pieces
35:00Signed a mate bond separance petition and was transferred out by her parents
35:06Marcus' hands clenched into fists so tight his knuckles cracked
35:10Amelia's laughter grew more unhinged
35:12You deserve every bit of this, Marcus Cain
35:15Marcus couldn't answer her
35:16He fled, it was nothing short of a rout
35:21Behind him, Amelia's laughter chased him down the corridor
35:27That same evening, Amelia took her pup and checked herself out of the facility
35:32Marcus couldn't spare any attention for where Amelia had gone
35:38He had just gotten hold of the address of the facility I'd been transferred to
35:43He rushed there immediately
35:47Only to be stopped at the door by my parents
35:51Sir, ma'am, please, I'm begging you, just let me see Sophie
35:54Marcus tried desperately to persuade them
35:56But my mother and father both let out cold, disdainful snorts
35:59They pointed straight at his face
36:01Don't you dare call us sir and ma'am
36:03We are not your pack kin
36:05Where were you when our daughter was lying on that operating table, barely clinging to life?
36:09Where were you when she was collapsed on the floor, carrying your pup, your heir?
36:15Now that the other she-wolf has safely delivered, suddenly you remember you have a mate?
36:19Marcus's mouth opened
36:20He tried to offer an explanation, but my father cut him off before a single word could leave his lips
36:24Sophie gave up everything for you
36:26Her pack, her family, five years of her life
36:29And how did you repay her?
36:30Marcus's lips moved, but nothing came out
36:33My mother's voice was ice
36:35Get out
36:36Our daughter walked through the valley of death
36:38She's only just now beginning to recover
36:39If you have even a shred of conscience left
36:41You'll stop coming here and tormenting her
36:46Right at that moment, Marcus's phone rang
36:49He had no choice but to swallow every argument he was preparing to make to my parents
36:53Marcus Kane, you've been charged with misappropriation of pack resources
36:58And the purchase of moonstone artifacts worth over a million
37:00The Kane Dominion is now facing disolation by the pack Elder Council
37:05Marcus's brow frundled deeply
37:08Dissolution?
37:10Marcus stood frozen to the spot
37:13In that moment, his mind flashed to the wristwatch I had given him
37:17The one he had thrown away without a second glance
37:23At the same time, the Elder Council's ruling was delivered to Marcus
37:27The mate bond between him and I was formally and irravicably severed
37:30He was ordered to forfeit half of all his territory and assets
37:33The day we went to finalize the Severcents was the last time I saw Marcus
37:37He looked utterly broken
37:38Face gaunt and hammered, his alpha aura diminished to a pale shadow
37:41His eyes, when they met mine, filled with exhaustion and pain
37:45Sophie, I know I did so many things wrong
37:47But please, can you just give me one chance to make it right?
37:50We could-
37:51He was begging me for another chance
37:52But I didn't hesitate for a single second
37:54I signed my name on the Severance registration
37:57I ignored his pleas, turned around, and walked away without looking back
38:04The moment I stepped out of the Elder Council's hall
38:07I felt nothing but an overwhelming, almost dizzying lightness
38:11The phantom weight of the broken mate bond
38:14The constant ache I had carried for five years
38:16Finally, mercifully, faded to silence
38:18Mom, the Severance is finalized
38:19I'm going to stop and pick up some fruit
38:21I'll be home soon
38:22I hit send, slipped my phone back into my pocket
38:25And walked forward, into the sunlight
38:29Seeing a hand about Joshua
38:30Sheesh
38:31Sheesh
38:31Sheesh
38:32Sheesh
38:35Gracias.
