Only then did I turn away.
I went back to the pack estate and gathered my things in silence, the servants watching dared not stop me.
The sparkling black dress laid on the bed for me was first thrown to the fireplace as I watched fire burn all of it.
The last version of myself that knew how to love and forgive burning with it.
It was at that moment a string of messages beeped on my phone.
[Zyan:Be at the ceremonial hall by 7 PM. ]
[Zyan:You don’t need to worry. Everything has been arranged. ]
[Zyan: If you cooperate tonight, I will make sure you aren’t treated unfairly. ]
[Zyan: You should learn to be sensible, Lianna. This is the best outcome for everyone.
Don’t make things difficult. I will still take responsibility for you. ]
I stared at the screen until the words blurred before taking out the SIM card and throwing it into the thrash.
Then I closed my eyes.
The mate bond stirred, no longer distant and restrained by me.
Darius.
I didn’t fight it this time.
I accepted.
The pull was instant, overwhelming. The world tilted as I felt the powerful aura seep into my bones.
Before I left, I handed a sealed envelope to the driver waiting at the entrance to take me to the wedding.
“Deliver this to Alpha Zyan. ” I said calmly. “Tell him, it's my sweet wedding gift to him.”
It contained proof of the child he killed and the empire he thought he still owned.
He will soon find out that the daughter he once longed for most was killed by his own hands.
When I stepped outside, Darius stood beneath the fading sky, his tall frame still radiating battle-worn power.
Fresh scars traced his arms and collarbone, blood barely dried at his temple. His gaze dropped immediately to my stomach and something dark and furious crossed his face.
"I will cancel everything. "he said without hesitation. "The wedding. No one will touch you. You need time-
"No, the wedding will be tonight. My daughter is waiting for me to avenge her. "
With that I got into the car, the Blood Moon Pack blurring behind my vision.
Now, the tables have turned. It’s time for Zyan and Victoria to suffer !
