His blind trust in his sister.
And his refusal to stand beside the woman who had once been destined to be his Luna.
And though he didn’t realize it yet—
One day Caleb would desperately try to gather the shattered pieces of the life he had destroyed.
Only to discover there was nothing left for him to hold.
Aria's POV
My chest ached so badly it felt as if my wolf was clawing desperately inside my ribcage.
Tears blurred my vision as I pressed a trembling hand over my heart, trying to steady the frantic pounding beneath my palm. Inside my mind, my wolf paced restlessly, whining in pain as though she could feel the mate bond between us stretching thinner with every passing heartbeat.
How could Caleb do this to us?
How could the man who once stood beside me beneath the sacred moonlight—swearing before the Moon Goddess that I was his destined Luna—decide to sever our bond in the span of a few moments?
Years of love.
Years of trust.
And he was ready to throw it all away as if it had never meant anything.
What had gone wrong between us?
Had I truly done something so terrible that my Alpha—my mate—would cast me aside like an unwanted omega?
No.
This could not be how our story ended.
