“He was called away to assist his pack-sister,Lyra,”Elara answered,her voice calm despite the raw chaos she felt inside.
Her mother’s brow furrowed.“That pup…she is no longer bound to her Mate?”
“Yes,she is officially no longer bound to the rival Pack,”Elara said simply,then slowly revealed the entire,painful truth about the secret Claiming Contract.
The mention of Lyra and the truth caused her Alpha Father to explode with rage.He immediately staggered,his knees buckling,and he collapsed onto the stone floor.
Elara’s heart raced as she frantically dialed Ryder’s private comm-link.Her husband couldn’t have gone far—getting him to carry her father to the Pack Healer’s Den would be faster than waiting for a transport.
Beep...beep...!The phone rang,but no one answered.Frustration boiled in her chest.Elara then helped her father up and drove him to the nearest human clinic herself.Thankfully,her father was stabilized.
While waiting for the Healer’s assessment,Elara scrolled through her comm-link and stumbled across a new post from Lyra.
