The staff member froze, his eyes widening slightly as he rechecked the document in my
hand.
His fingers trembled slightly, flipping through the pages, confirming that it was indeed a
divorce application.
After a few moments, he finally spoke, his voice soft yet formal.
“I’ll submit this to the council for review on your behalf. Please wait here for a while,
ma’am.”
I nodded, ignoring the curious glances around me.
My heart raced, not with fear, but with the thrilling anticipation of freedom.
After
years of feeling trapped in a loveless bond, this was my first step towards reclaiming my life.
Eventually, the staff member returned, his face more relaxed now.
“Your application is under review. You can go home for now, ma’am. Once the council convenes next month, your divorce will be officially processed.”
A sigh of relief escaped my lips, and I smiled at him gratefully. “Thank you. Really.”
As I turned to leave, I didn’t notice the murmurs that started to spread behind me.
In my world, I was leaving with a sense of closure, but in the council, whispers of my visit began to flow like wildfire.
“Was that the Luna of Silvermoon?” one of the staff asked, his voice tinged with surprise.
“Yes, it’s rumored that they were together when they were still in school.”
“And now he’s ditching her for someone else? That’s heartless, even for an Alpha. Betraying your mate… it’s got to be unbearable.”

“She seemed so calm, though. I was expecting her to storm in, make a scene… But she didn’t get angry at all. She’s stronger than I thought.”
The next day, Leo arrived at the Werewolf Council, his usual air of authority sweeping through the room,
His presence, powerful and magnetic, always commanded attention.
Today was no different, except for the strange looks being cast his way.
He noticed it almost immediately.
There were whispers behind his back, sideways glances filled with something like
disapproval.
His brows furrowed as he caught snippets of conversation.
“That’s the Alpha who betrayed his Luna, right?”
“Handsome, but whoever mates with him… poor soul.”
Leo’s steps faltered, his body stiffening at the weight of the rumors swirling around him.
His jaw clenched as he approached one of the staff members.
Grabbing him by the arm, he demanded, “Did Elizabeth come here yesterday?”
The staff member hesitated, clearly torn between fear and duty.
Finally, he nodded. “Yes, Alpha..”
Leo’s heart pounded. So, she *had* come.
But instead of making a scene, she did something even worse – she filed a petition for divorce. It was as if his heart was being held tightly by an invisible hand, and a wave of sadness rushed over him, almost suffocating him.
He had never imagined that Liz, who had once promised to spend her life hand in hand,

would now come to the council alone and file a petition for divorce,
Leo stared at the thin pieces of paper and tore them into pieces without hesitation.
He would never allow his mate to leave him without his permission.
Early in the morning, the piano store had just opened for business. I was preparing for today’s lesson when the glass doors were pushed open.
Rooked toward the front door, a little surprised; no customers usually come that early.
Aria walked in. She dressed in luxurious jewelry and holding a bouquet of flowers, she carried herself with an air of superiority.
Her gaze fixed on me as if she were surveying a rival.
“I need to talk to you,” she declared, her tone clipped.
I exchanged a glance with Rolin, then nodded. “Sure, let’s talk.”
We settled into a cozy corner of the café.
Aria picked up her coffee, her hand squeezing the handle made a point of cocking a finger with a diamond ring on it, noticing my gaze going there, she smiled and said:
“Huh, this diamond ring was custom made for me by Leo who went to a fine jewelry shop.”
She made an arrogant face and continued, “My dear Leo said if I like this ring so much, he will have it customized for the wedding from the shop.”
Then Aria pretended to be surprised and looked at my hand,
“Oops, why don’t you have a ring on your hand? It can’t be that Leo never acknowledged your Luna status and never even gave you a ring, right?
I raised an eyebrow.
“I’ve received plenty of gifts from Leo too.”
Aria’s eyes narrowed with annoyance.

“These are different. Leo personally selected them for me.”
Her condescension grated on me, but I remained calm.
“That’s nice,” I said, trying to keep my tone neutral. What she flaunted wasn’t even enough to ripple through me.
