Chapter 2
“What?” I froze, struck as if by lightning, unable to move. “What are you doing?”
“Accept it.” He ignored my question, “Take my rejection.”
Evan’s voice was cold, without a trace of hesitation or mercy. The eyes that once gazed at me so tenderly were now
colder than Arctic snow.
“NOW.”
A chill swept over me. Suppressed by his Alpha bloodline, I could only obey. “I accept your rejection.”
The moment the mate bond snapped, my wolf let out a sorrowful howl–as if her soul had been torn apart.
I thought my tears had long dried up, yet they slid down silently once more.
“Why?” My voice came out hoarse.
Evan lowered his eyes, his tone still as cold and cutting as ice: “I won’t’allow you to harm Mira.”
That single sentence sent me plummeting into the abyss.
He didn’t just break off our engagement. Before the eyes of the entire pack, he sealed the mate bond with Mira. That day, the whole pack celebrated their union, while I was cast out, becoming the laughingstock of the pack.
Then the pack erupted with rumors–that I was using my mother’s death for sympathy, for attention, for power.
They called me jealous, said that’s why my mate rejected me.
The pressure nearly suffocated me. I had a complete breakdown and developed severe depression.
But I never gave up seeking justice for my mother.
My mother cared for me, protected me for twenty–three years. How could I abandon her?
That’s when Ronan began his relentless pursuit.
Such careful attention, such devoted protection.
I saw him as my salvation and accepted his claim.
After our mating ceremony, the court found Mira innocent.
So I tried to let go, I wanted his pup, I just… wanted us to feel like a real family.”
I never imagined that my salvation was just proof of his love for Mira all along.
Ronan appeared beside me, holding an umbrella over my head.
Chapter 2
The moment he saw me, his furrowed brow relaxed slightly, concern flashing in his eyes.
“You disappeared without a word. I was worried sick.”
“And it’s getting colder every day. I’m buried in pack business with year–end territory disputes–if you get sick, how am I supposed to take care of you?”
I wasn’t surprised he’d found me. He’d installed a tracking app on my phone.
He said he was afraid my depression would make me do something dangerous. He wanted to protect me.
I’d believed him.
But now I knew better. He was probably just making sure I wouldn’t go after Mira.
I blinked, my tears already dried up, staring at the snowflakes falling from the sky.
“Old wolves say the Moon Goddess listens closer during the first snow. That’s why I came out here.”
First wish: to sever my mate bond with Ronan cleanly.
Second wish: never having to see him again after I left the pack.
Third wish: for mom not to hate me.
Not to hate me for falling in love with the man who protected her killer. For wanting to have his pup.
Ronan draped his jacket over my shoulders, playfully tapping my nose. “Then you should dress warmer. Look at your hands–they’re freezing.”
“What did you pray for?”
I watched him put on his caring act, feeling nothing.
“About us. And about mom.”
Ronan’s face went rigid. He studied me carefully.
“Mira is your half–sister, after all. Blood is thicker than water. She was devastated when your mom died each other’s only family. It’s been three years now, maybe…”
I knew what he was getting at. “I know I won’t cause trouble anymore.”
I’d already sued her. Mira wasn’t convicted.
I didn’t appeal then.
Even if I withdrew the family’s forgiveness letter now, it wouldn’t change anything.
Ronan relaxed, relief flickering across his face. His mood clearly improved.

I sat there numbly, emotions crashing over me. Until, finally, I took out the bond breaking deal–ant
