He was furious; as the most dignified elder of the Iron Moon Pack, all he had to do was sit in his office and offer his thoughts; his job was simple.
Until this shameless woman decided to hide the truth, which led Zayden to blame his mate’s disappearance on him. She was the reason why, despite his age, he had to visit different packs and ask for their help.
He had never cared for this vulgar orphan; she was Zayden’s mate, but as pack elder, he felt entitled to teach me a lesson.
My father intervened before he could strike me with his cane.
He snatched Bishop’s cane and knocked it against his head, “Pray tell, when has my daughter become an orphan with no manners?””
Bishop clutched his head, shocked. “S-She’s your daughter?!”
“We lost her when she was young, but she will forever be our most precious jewel. You, though! You’ve insulted her countless times and killed her puppy!”
My father yelled, “Guards!” Drag this vile man out! Off with his head!”
Bishop struggled until his last breath, and as I watched my tormentor meet his just punishment, I burst into tears of relief.
With my parents by my side, I composed myself and we travelled to the palace of Skelvaria, where the Alpha King, Kingsley, lived.
Kingsley empathised with my situation and immediately ended my relationship with Zayden.
The moment the bond was released, I felt a weight lift off my shoulder.
Zayden was whipping Dahlia when he felt something lift and vanish within him.
He felt he had lost something, so he inflicted more wounds on her.
“It’s entirely your fault, you harlot! Sandra will never return to me now that she knows I betrayed her!”
Dahlia deeply regretted ever provoking this terrifying man, and no matter how she begged for mercy, Zayden showed no kindness or compassion for her.
Furious, she yelled, “You’re blaming me?! Are you really saying you didn’t recognise who you were with?! How can you place all the blame on me?!”
Zayden raised his whip; despite his intoxication that night, he had not completely lost his senses; he was drunk and enjoyed lying with another woman.
“You did nothing when I bullied Sandra, either!
“She left because she didn’t want to be someone so fake and cowardly! That has nothing to do with me!”
Zayden fell backward, limply. He could no longer lie to himself.
It had been half a year since my relationship with Zayden was severed.
Under my father’s arrangement, I was able to visit various packs to negotiate and learn.
My reputation grew over time, and everyone knew about the Duskwood pack’s Alpha’s intelligent and attractive daughter.
No one had tied me to Zayden’s insignificant maid, so no one from the Iron Moon Pack had come.
Until one day, when I was passing through Iron Moon Pack on my way home, a woman blocked my carriage’s path.
“Esteemed Lady, I heard that you’ve saved wives who’ve suffered from their husband’s abuse! Please, kind and esteemed lady, save me!”
Her clothes were rumpled, exposing scars and wounds scattered across her skin. She was also very underweight. Despite the change in her voice, I recognised her immediately.
I stepped out and stood in front of her. “Is that so? How do you want me to help you, then?”
