Selena felt as if her heart had seized.She looked up at her Mate in utter disbelief.
Her mind went blank,her wolf whimpering,convinced she must have misheard the Alpha’s command.
“Sever the Bond?”she whispered in a broken voice.
‘He wants to reject the Mate bond?’
“Our union was politically arranged and coerced by our elders.Since we never declared our Mate status openly to the packs,we must end this now before the bloodlines become irreversibly intertwined,”Kian calmly explained,treating the bond as a simple contract.
A series of freezing chills ran down Selena’s spine.Her face went pale as her lips trembled.She felt the sharp pain of rejection tearing at her core,as if her spirit had been ripped in two.
‘No.The mating bond cannot be broken like this.This is not real,’she thought,her instincts fighting the rejection.
She had loved Kian for nine long years.
She had loved him for years—from the moment she was brought into the Volkov pack at sixteen due to the blood debt,until she earned her rank in the Dark Moon Conglomerate at twenty-five.
Her affection deepened with the political union.Though it was a coerced binding,Selena knew Kian was the only Alpha she ever wished to submit to.
