“There is an additional matter.” Concerning your male prostitute! Your intimate partner has received a death sentence. Upon your return to your father’s pack, you must find a replacement. However, if you are unable to locate one, do not hesitate to enquire with me, as we are both aware of your fondness for the males in my vicinity. “I will procure a replacement for you.” The insult was especially egregious to Opora, as it was uttered in front of the entire pack and in the sight of her father. To endure this humiliation, she tightened her fists at her sides. She had not seen Nyla since the prior night, and now she had discovered that he had been executed.
Following his beheading, Jason had instructed his troops to manage his remains. The entire incident occurred beyond his territory, as he could not permit the wolf’s tainted blood to mar his domain. He had not even visited him. He simply became aware of his demise.
“Having acknowledged your offences, you must now concede to Alpha Jason’s repudiation,” the elder stated, retreating as Jason advanced towards Opora. It was time to cease operations. He compelled her to rise by seizing her arms forcefully.
“I implore you,” she pleaded.
“Trust me when I assert that I cherish you. I am your companion. “It was merely an oversight,” she attempted to justify her errors once more, prompting Jason to seize her hand and forcibly remove the wedding band from her finger. His aggression and cruelty nearly resulted in the removal of the smooth flesh from her finger.
“Affection?” Companion? Do not induce my nausea! Those phrases disgust me! Concede to the refusal before I commit homicide in the presence of all assembled here!He gazed into her eyes one final time, cautioning her that he would never behold those unpleasant ones again. She sobbed, her fists tightened at her sides. Their narrative concluded. She opted for life; hence, she had to acquiesce to the rejection.
“I, Opora Graham, acknowledge your rejection, Jason Graham,” she ultimately spoke through her sobs, signifying the conclusion of everything. Her mate bond, the mental connection, the friendship, and the feelings with Jason and the other pack members were all abruptly broken. It seemed as though her mind was devoid of thought.
“NEGATIVE!” She wept in despair while grasping Jason’s hand firmly. Her wolf surged with fury as she had become a repudiated wolf, loathed by her mate. Despite the fragility of their mate link, the rejection was as excruciating as anticipated.
“Remove her!” Jason withdrew his hand from her and propelled her towards her father. Alpha Alex seized his daughter’s arm as he commenced extracting her from the pack home.
“I implore you to return me, Jason.” “I love you,” she declared, striving to extricate herself from his grasp. Alpha Alex’s fury was evident in his constricting grip. His sole intention was to fracture her arm and jaw, which she had employed to vociferate at Jason, exacerbating her predicament. Jason departed the living room, disregarding her remarks. He proceeded into the corridor before he heard her voice.
This rejection will not alter your sentiments towards me! Heed my words! Your affection for me was genuine, and I shall forever remain the sole occupant of your heart. You cannot disregard my presence. We cherish each other. I adore you!Jason acknowledged her farewell comments but continued until he reached the Alpha suite, where he had observed their uninhibited intimacy the night before.
“Your existence is contingent upon a woman, Jason.” You require my assistance. You require a companion!Her words echoed in his ears, overwhelming him. He conceded that he would never be able to forget her. Consequently, he intended to obliterate any reminders of her that could arise in the future. Lucas and Leo, who had trailed a few minutes after Jason, rushed to his room upon observing smoke emanating from it.
“Jason!” Lucas entered the room abruptly, only to find that his brother had ignited a fire that consumed his entire bedroom, including the wardrobe and bed. He discarded all items that had belonged to Opora. He strove to obliterate her aroma and her very existence from his life.
Although surrounded by fire, Jason remained until all had been reduced to ash before him. Her comments resonated in his mind, asserting that he could not exist without a partner, although she remained oblivious to the fact that following this day, there would be no space for a woman in his life. He had developed a profound disdain for them all.
Two years subsequently
In the Sardinia Moon packhouse, the initial rays of sunshine penetrated the dense darkness as they streamed through the window of the final room on the second story. The growling, agonising screams, fearsome moans, and the horrific altercations from downstairs in the Sardinia Moon Pack ceased abruptly with the arrival of daybreak.
A young woman occupied the centre of the room, her eyes wide with terror. She had remained awake throughout the night, beseeching the Moon Goddess for the cessation of bloodshed and mayhem. Upon its arrival, she could not disregard the emergence of this peculiar and unforeseen tranquilly, nor the distressing sensation that assailed her heart. What occurred?
A knock resounded at her door. Rising from the frigid floor, she gazed at the door, striving to catch a scent of the individual beyond it. Was it an adversary? Upon identifying the fragrance, the young woman exhaled a sigh of relief. Talia, the youngest daughter of Alpha Carter and Luna Mabel, belonged to the Sardinia Moon Pack. She hurried to the door to welcome her mother.
“Mother!” Talia exclaimed, embracing her. Her mother’s body felt cold against her. The woman was in her forties. Her beautiful brown hair was styled into a dishevelled bun. She reeked of blood and soil and bore bruises on her shoulders, yet her sea-blue eyes had successfully deceived her daughter into believing she was OK. Luna Mabel declined to reciprocate her daughter’s embrace as she pulled her into the room, shutting the door behind them.
