Two Weeks to Leave My MateChapter 1
Nine months heavy with pup, I ran into my mate-holder, Alaric Blackthorn, and his claim-seeking she-wolf at the Moon-Healers' Hall.
The moment I picked up my report, I saw the two of them celebrating the upcoming arrival of their own pup.
Ravenna pretended to be concerned. "Alaric, you really shouldn't be here with me. If Selene finds out, she'll be upset. She's carrying too. Aren't you worried she'd be upset?"
Alaric let out a cold chuckle. "If she causes a scene, I'll just sever the bond."
Since Alaric didn't want us anymore, I'd rather raise the pup without a father than stay in this farce of a mating.
I called my dad, who was living across territories in Valmoria.
"Dad, I've made up my mind. I'm rejecting the bond. I'm taking the pup and coming to live with you."
After I hung up, I booked the earliest flight available. Two weeks. That's all I needed. Two weeks and I'd be out of Alaric's life for good.
But then why... did that man show up at my mating ceremony with red eyes, begging me to take him back?
