Chapter 105: She Was Leaving Forever

“Elena!” I called out as I pushed open the door.

The bed was neatly made, untouched since yesterday. The Luna’s Vanity Chamber was bare of cosmetics. stripped of all the personal items that had made it hers.

I rushed to the Moonhaven Wardrobe Chamber, my heart pounding. It bwas /bempty of Elena’s clothes, except for the ones I had bought for her. Everything she had chosen herself, everything that represented her independence, was gone.

I called Elena’s phone, but it went straight to voicemail. She had blocked me from the packmunicationwork entirely.

In the Great Hall, I saw the jewelry box I had given her yesterday, untouched on the table. The moonstone ney inside, rejected like everything else I had offered.

My eyes fell on the Moonhaven Estate Calendar. Today’s date was marked with four crosses. She had told me it was the day to buy a new car, and I had believed her.

I suddenly understood what it meant. The crosses weren’t marking a car purchase. They were marking her

escape.

My body began to tremble. The realization hit me like a physical blow, Elena wasn’t just leaving for a few days. She was leaving forever.

Not only did Elena want to leave, she also wanted to sever our mate bond. But I would never allow this to happen!

I rushed to my study and retrieved a bottle of moonlight potion from the locked cab. I had rec a wizard months ago, never thinking I would actually use it.

it from

My hands shook as I arranged the ritual circle, drawing the ancient symbols with desperate precision. The

moon goddess would hear my plea, even if it was selfish,

“1. Marcus ckwood, choose to block my mate bond with Elena ckwood,” I spoke the words that felt like polson on my tongue. “I will no longer be able to sense her, but I refuse to allow her to unterally sever our mate bond.”

A sharp pain pierced my heart like a silver knife. The intense agony almost made me faint, but I held on,pleting the ritual through sheer force of will.

I knew my request was unfair to Elena, but I couldn’t bear to lose her. I would never allow it.

The effect of this ritual was short–lived. I had to find Elena as soon as possible before the magic wore off.

I got up bfrom /bthe ground with difficulty, my legs unsteady from the magical bacsh. Suddenly, I heard a phone vibrating inside a wooden box on Elena’s desk.

Inside the box, I found mate bond severance papers, already signed and notarized. Beside themy Elena’s phone, the one I had given her years ago.

I opened the phone with trembling fingers band /bsaw messages from a familiar number. The messages were

like silver daggers stabbing into my heart, each word a painful blow

Sophia’s messages taunted Elena with cruel precision “Marcus is by my side after my suicide attempt. Being loved is more important than a mating certificate Stop clinging to him when he bclearly /bdoesn’t want you.”

I recalled my own harsh words to Elena over the years. How many times had I dismissed her feelings? How many times had I chosen Sophia’sfort over Elena’s dignity?

But it was toote for regrets. Elena bwas /bgone, and I had only myself to me.

The staff scattered before me like leaves in a hurricane.

I found Sophia’s room and entered without knocking. She was on the phone, her voice animated and pleased.

The moment she saw me, her whole face instantly turned pale. The phone slipped from her nerveless fingers.

“Marcus. Marcus, why are byou /bhere?” she forced a smile, trying to hide her panic.

I nced at the phone she was attempting to hide behind her pillow. “Whose call was that?”

“Just a friend checking up on me,” she lied smoothly. “I’m feeling much better now.”

She tried to change the subject, mentioning wanting to spend time with Oliver after being discharged. Using

her son as leverage, bas /balways

I looked at the flowers on the bedside table, expensive arrangements that spoke of guilt and maniption. “Have you sent any messages to Elena recently?”

Sophia’s denial was immediate and vehement. “No, of course not. Why would I contact her?”

I pulled out Elena’s phone and showed her the chat history. The color drained from Sophia’s face as she saw

her own cruel words disyed on the screen.

She was speechless, her body trembling like a leaf in a storm.

Seeing her lies exposed again, Iughed coldly. The sound was harsh and bitter in the sterile hospital room.

“Have you been sending those messages behind my back all along?” I asked, my voice deadly quiet.

Sophia panicked, trying to exin, reaching out to btouch /bmy arm. I pushed her away, sending her sprawling back against the pillows.

I wiped my hand with a handkerchiel, disgusted by her touch. The gesture was deliberate, calcted to

wound.

“Everyone says I favored you because I owed you,” I said, my voice filled with contempt. “So I gave you

whatever you wanted. But what about you?”

My Alpha power began to leak out, making the air in the room heavy and oppressive. “You were using me.

plotting against me, making me the viin who ruined the ckthorne family.b” /b

Sophia cried and trembled, denying the usations through her tears. But her guilt was written across her

face.

“Have you always been deceiving me with that face?” I demanded.

I waved my hand, my Alpha powershing out. A crystal vase on the windowsill exploded into a thousand pieces, the sound sharp and final.

Sophia was shocked by the disy of my supernatural strength, her eyes wide with terror as she finally understood the depth of my rage.
