Liam’s sudden outburst startled me.
I turned around to look at Liam, who was red-faced and slightly stunned.
I couldn’t understand where his emotions came from.
Why was he so emotional?
But I realised that if I didn’t respond to him today,
He wouldn’t let me leave easily.
So I looked at him and whispered.
‘Liam, you can do whatever you want to me, but don’t drag my pack into it. Today you threw me in front of the messenger wolves, and tomorrow my father will be gossiping about the territory. We have grown up in such an environment since we were puppies. You understand what this means. At least he helped you with all of his strength…
I believed I had chosen the most insignificant topic to respond to his words.
Liam looked at me, stunned for a moment.
But then a huge anger washed over him.
He looked at me with scarlet eyes and shouted:
‘Isabelle, does that help? That is taking advantage of a weaker pack! That’s what I got for ruining both my and Nova’s lives! Shameless!!
‘How has she been these past eight moons?! We were clearly true mates, but you two despicable father and daughter ripped us apart! So I’ll t*****e you until your wolf spirit crumbles!’
Your birth moon is in seven days! I understand! I will challenge Nova on that day! I absolutely adore her! I’m not acting! I want her to be my Luna, the only Luna in my heart, even if the pack laws don’t acknowledge it! You’ll live your next life as my rejected mate!’
Also, I saw Nova step on your belly that day! I indulged her! Even if the puppy in your belly had survived, I would not offer him any fatherly protection!’
‘Isabelle! This is exactly what you and your father deserve!’
After saying that, he pushed me aside, began the carrier, and left.
As soon as I got to my feet, I received another call from Liam. He on the other end of the crystal calmed down significantly. He said in his usual cold and playful tone, “Isabelle, you can personally organise my challenge ceremony in seven days.” Are not you virtuous? Aren’t you emotionless? Then just do it.’ ‘You should make it perfect. If Nova is not satisfied, I have plenty of ways to make your father’s pack reputation known every day.’ After that, he cut the connection while growling a little tune. I am confident Liam can do it.
I opened the den door and gazed at the massive mate-marking ceremony portrait of Liam and me in the main chamber.
I smiled bitterly.
Liam did not smile at all in the portrait.
He stood far away from me, his body stiff.
It took a lot of effort to place my head on his shoulder.
The distance was only a palm’s width.
I was still unable to fill it after eight moons.
I thought that while taking mate portraits with Nova,
Liam must have been very pleased.
I forced myself to stand up and take down all of the mate portraits in the den.
I ripped the portraits apart and burned them in the territory. turned into ashes, then packed up his ceremonial robes and sent them to the main pack den, asked the pack scribe at home to draft a mate-bond severance agreement and put it in Liam’s study, after doing everything, I started to arrange his challenge ceremony for him, for a whole week.
