*xkkxErika's POV*¥kkx
Two days later:
As Jace droveback to the Moonforest pack's borders, | couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions swirling inside
me. My eyes were fixed on the passing scenery outside the car window, trying to distract myself from the
heaviness in my heart. But Jace, being his usual self, couldn't resist making scold yet funny remarks.
"So, Erika, how about we play a gof 'Who Can Stay Silent the Longest"?" Jace said, and | had the urge to ask
him to stop the car and letget down.
| rolled my eyes, choosing to ignore his comment. | knew he was just trying to lighten the mood, but | wasn't in
the mood for games. | wanted to focus on the task at hand and the thoughts that were weighingdown.
Jace, however, was persistent. He continued to make snarky remarks and sarcastic jokes, his words bouncing off
Despite my best efforts to hide my true feelings, Jace saw through my facade. He knewbetter than anyone
else, even when | tried to put on a brave face. He knew something was bothering me.
"Erika, you can't hide from me," Jace said, his voice softening slightly. "I can tell that something's bothering you.
You know you can talk to me, right?"
| sighed and turned to look at him.
"I'm fine" | responded, definitely not in the mood to have this conversation with him.
"Con, tell me" he urged and | growled.

"Is it about your manwhore husband?" He asked again and | nodded slightly.
Hiding things from him was near impossible.
"You don't have to think about him, besides you're about to break things off and be free. Once the mate bond is
dissolved, whatever feelings you have left for him, would disappear without a trace" he said.
| didn't respond to that. | did hear from father earlier this morning that dissolving the mate bond would hurt alot,
but I could endure because of my Alpha strength. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad.
Soon we arrived at the Moonforest pack border and | stepped down from the car. "Callif anything goes
wrong" Jace instructed and | nodded.
| sighed as my gaze lingered on the road ahead.
The packhouse could be seen in a distance and if | didn't know better, | would think the appearance of the
packhouse as it looked from afar, was really how it looked like in the inside and in close proximity.
As | walked back to the Moonforest packhouse, the weight of my emotions seemed to grow heavier with each
step. | reached the grand entrance and was granted entry, but something felt off. The maids, who usually
greetedwith a respectful bow, seemed to be ignoringentirely as they went about their cleaning duties.
Confusion and a tinge of anger washed over me. It was as if | had becinvisible to them, just another
insignificant presence in the vast living room. | was still their Luna even though I left the pack.
How dare they treatlike air?
I ignored them and made my way up the stairs, determination fueled my steps. | knew exactly where to find Alex
at this tof day - in his office.
Without bothering to knock, | pushed the door open, expecting to find him alone. But what | saw shattered the
last remnants of hope within me.
There, on the sofa in his office, sat Alex, with Serenity by his side. Her head was resting on his thigh, a picture of
comfort and intimacy. My heart sank, and my fists clenched involuntarily at the scene before me.
The pain of our impending divorce and the betrayal | felt surged through my veins, threatening to consme.
How could he move on so quickly? We hadn't even finalized our separation, and yet he was already treating
Serenity as if she were his Luna.
A mix of anger, hurt, and disbelief washed over me. | stood frozen in the doorway, unable to tear my eyes away
from the sight that tore at my heart. The room suddenly felt suffocating, the air heavy with unspoken words.
At that moment, | realized that the life | had once known, the love | had believed in and the fact | thought that |
could mend my marriage, was slipping away. The pain of seeing Alex with someone else, especially so soon, cut
deep, leaving scars that would take tto heal.
| felt that he just wantedout of his life so fast.
Alex's head soon snapped to the door and he saw me.
He then smirked atfor no reason.
"You finally couldn't endure the life outside this walls and now you're back?" He mocked and relaxed further into
his sofa.
Ignoring his taunts, | walked further into the office.
Serenity, sensing the tension, quickly straightened up and lowered her head, trying to appear submissive in front

"She's such a bitch" Cindy suddenly groaned at the sight of her
Turning my attention back to Alex, | mustered all the strength | had left. "I chere in regards to my text," |
said, "To dissolve the mate bond and sign the divorce papers."
Alex froze as my words registered in his head.
He looked up atand into my grey eyes.
"You still want to put on an act_" | cut him shut before he could mutter any more
nonsense.
"I'm not putting on any act, Alpha Alex, just givethe papers and I'll sign. Then we'll go dissolve our mate
bond afterwards" | said in a firm tone and glared at him.
The fear | once had for him, disappeared.
Alex chuckled and stood up to his full height.
"ok"
He mouthed before stepping closer to his table and retrieving spapers.
He threw the papers in my face, but | couldn't care less about it and just picked it up to sign.
After signing my nelegantly on it, | handed him back the papers.
"Now it's tto dissolve the mate bond"
