After figuring out what was going on, the enforcers told this rude family off.
I made a loan agreement. “Elders, let’s settle this in front of the enforcers.” I lent you $500,000 to pay off your pack debt, which is due in five years. It’s time to pay it back!”
My fake family looked shocked. “You said we didn’t have to pay it back!””
“I never said that.” Give me money!”
They signed the loan agreement to look tough in front of other people.
I was glad I had the sense to keep it.
Diane almost passed out when she saw the huge debt.
“Hey Mom and Dad… You owe her $500,000?”
“We can explain…”
“You said the family was rich!” You said you’d take care of me, so make it up to me!”
The pack council enforcers stepped forward. “Pack law says that all debts must be paid off during severance.”
In the end, Diane and her family had to go back to their old small house with my parents.
George came up to me as they were leaving, his eyes begging.
“Scarlett, the next thing is the hearing to end the mate bond. Please think about it again.
“There’s no need to think about it. You picked your side.
“I really messed up. I should have kept you safe. “Let me show you again that I am worthy of being your mate.”
“Too late for that,” I said as I turned away.
I took everything out of the house I had already sold the next day to make room for the new owner.
I had the pack Beta help me get the money back through the courts.
After that, I went right to the hearing to end the mate bond.
The council members looked uneasy. Mate bond severances were rare; it was said that the Goddess herself chose these pairings.
“Scarlett Jacksons, you want to break a sacred bond between mates. Give your reasons.
“George was on my family’s side when they tried to make me sleep in freezing temperatures that would make my condition worse. He turned on me for strangers when I needed him the most. A real friend looks out for their partner. He didn’t do that sacred duty.
George stepped up and said, “I was wrong.” I admit it. But mate bonds are supposed to be strong enough to handle mistakes. “Please give me another chance,” I said.
The Alpha herself was there for this hearing. “George, did you know that by supporting your mate’s family’s decision to make her sleep in conditions that could make her medical condition worse, you were putting her in danger?”
He looked down. “I… I didn’t think about it. “All I wanted was for everyone to get along.”
The Alpha said coldly, “At her expense.”
After thinking it over, the council decided in my favour. “The mate bond is broken.” As a friend, George Dickson, you have not done your job. You are free from this bond, Scarlett Jacksons.
It hurt, like losing a limb, but it also set me free when I felt the supernatural bond between us break.
After that, I closed my combat coaching business and started looking into far-off places.
My friends who fought with me in close quarters would follow me anywhere.
Later, I heard that Diane and Robert had a fight that hurt her wolf so badly that it couldn’t change into a werewolf or fight anymore.
Robert was kicked out of his private school without my help.
His ranking in combat training went from the top fifty to the very bottom.
George had been moved down in the pack’s hierarchy. No one trusted a wolf who would betray his own mate.
Diane and her parents had to go back to their old jobs, where they had to work even when they were sick.
They were trying to get in touch with me through other pack members, hoping I would come back and make up with my parents.
My parents wanted to cut ties with Diane, hoping I would save the family.
These shameless wolves can howl all they want; I’m done with them.
Now I just want to run around freely in the open air and set up my combat coaching system in new places.
People say I’m cruel for ruining the lives of people who used to be my closest family.
