“No! I don’t want the ritual! I don’t want the heart transplant!” I shrieked, face pale, my entire body shaking uncontrollably. “I feel much better! I don’t need the surgery anymore! Let me go! I want to go home!”
Kirby’s POV (Crimson Moon Pack Hospital)
Leslie agreed? Even if the price was half the Pack’s liquid assets, saving Liana made it all worth it. For a brief second, I felt almost relieved.
Then she dropped the bombshell.
Another donor? Elder Ella?
A deep sense of absurdity and deeper confusion closed in. Where had she found another match? And how had she summoned Elder Ella-someone my own father bows to in respect? Isn’t Leslie just an Omega, stripped of all resources, cut off from the outside world?
Inside me, Lance growled low and wary. He sensed something foreign-something powerful- intervening. And more than that, he sensed something off about the woman standing before us now.
She was too calm. Too assured. In her clear, unflinching eyes, I thought I saw something I couldn’t explain: ice-cold calculation… and scorn.
Then Liana suddenly lost it. Just minutes ago, she was deathly pale and barely breathing. Now, at the mention of Elder Ella, she was screaming to go home?
There was something very, very wrong here,
My gaze shifted back and forth between Leslie and the panic-stricken Liana. A heavy cloud of suspicion settled deep in my chest.
This Leslie… was becoming more and more of a stranger.
Liana’s POV (Crimson Moon Pack Hospital)
Elder Ella! Elder Ella from the Holy Mountain is coming to oversee the surgery herself?!
Fear wrapped around my heart like a cold, venomous snake. My Lycan Spirit let out a shrill, desperate wail inside me.
No! I can’t let Elder Ella come!
“No! I don’t want surgery! I don’t want a heart transplant!” I screamed, losing control. I suddenly sat up in bed, trying to climb out and run, uncaring of anything else.
That movement completely exposed me-I wasn’t nearly as weak as I’d been pretending to be.
“Liana, calm down!” Kirby tried to soothe me, but I saw it-doubt flickering in his eyes.
The physician and a few Beta guards rushed over to restrain me.
“Let go of me! I want to go home! I don’t want to stay here!” I thrashed wildly, tears streaming down my face, blending real terror with my well-practiced helplessness.
“What are you all waiting for?” That bitch Leslie’s cold voice cut through the chaos. “Sedate her. Once Elder Ella comes up, begin the surgery immediately.”
Sedative? Surgery? No! I completely snapped. Taking advantage of a moment of distraction, I broke free and dove behind Kirby, clinging to his arm and sobbing.
“Kirby, please… no surgery… I’m begging you…”
“Oh? Liana, you can stand and walk now?” Leslie’s mocking voice came from across the room, filled with open scorn.
I froze. It was over…
Kirby’s POV (Crimson Moon Pack Hospital)
Liana suddenly erupted with a strength that didn’t match her frail exterior. She escaped the guards and clung to me in tears…. That scene-combined with Leslie’s pointed, mocking words -lit the fuse on all my buried doubts.
Lance growled low in my mind. She’s acting, Kirby! This Omega has been lying to you!
I whipped around and fixed a sharp gaze on the Pack physician. My Alpha aura surged at full intensity.
“Tell the truth! What’s really wrong with Liana?!”
The Beta doctor trembled under my pressure, eyes darting to Liana in panic. But she kept her head down, sobbing, unable to look at anyone.
“Speak!” I roared, my voice leaving no room for refusal.
The doctor finally collapsed to his knees with a loud thud, shaking as he confessed everything.
“I-It was Miss Liana’s idea… She said her Lycan Spirit was just unstable, b-but she convinced me that a heart transplant was the only way to fully heal… She said you’d support it… Alpha sir, please-it wasn’t my idea-I had no choice…”
Deceit. It really was all a lie.
Rage shot to the top of my head as I turned to look at Liana, still trembling behind me.
“Liana!” I grabbed her arm and forced her to look at me. My voice was icy, sharp as a blade. “Is it true? Why did you fake being sick?!”
She slowly looked up, her face streaked with tears, her eyes avoiding mine.
“I… I just wanted to spend more time with you… You’re always so busy… And after Jake died, I’ve been… so scared…”
She said his name-her brother, the loyal warrior who died saving me.
The moment Jake was mentioned, it was like someone poured cold water over the fire in my chest. My fury cooled almost instantly. Even Lance fell silent, only letting out a quiet, displeased growl.
The guilt I carried for Jake, and the promise I made to look after her… kept me from exploding at her now.
I let go of her arm and took a deep breath, forcing myself to swallow the storm of emotions roiling inside me.
Leslie’s POV (Crimson Moon Pack Hospital)
Watching the farce unfold before me, I felt nothing but cold irony. Liana’s pitiful act, Kirby’s easily-stirred guilt… Asphodel let out a contemptuous snort in my mind.
What a foolish Alpha-so easily manipulated by an Omega.
I observed in silence, right up until the moment Kirby appeared to “forgive” Liana. Perfect. If she wasn’t actually sick, then there was no need for my heart to be “donated.”
“All right, Kirby,” I said, stepping forward and cutting off their nauseating show of affection. “Since Miss Liana has made such a miraculous ‘recovery,’ I think it’s time we talk about us.”
I pulled out the already-prepared contract, a scroll radiating faint Moon’s Essence, and dropped it onto the table in front of him.
“This is the bond dissolution agreement. Once you sign it, we’re done. No debts, no ties. Don’t worry-I’m not after a single coin from Crimson Moon Pack. You don’t have to worry about me taking advantage of you.” My voice was calm, almost casual, like I was talking about the weather.
Kirby’s POV (Crimson Moon Pack Hospital)
The bond dissolution scroll-written in ancient wolfkind script-lay quietly on the table, exuding a cool aura that unmistakably belonged to Leslie.
As I stared at it, the soul-deep pain I’d tried so hard to suppress surged back to the surface. Inside me, Lance let out a quiet, tormented whimper, filled with rage and a kind of… loss I couldn’t understand.
She really wanted to break the bond? Just because I’d asked her to make a “sacrifice” for the Pack’s benefactor? Just because… I’d given Liana a little more attention?
“Leslie, are you sure about this?” My voice came out hoarse, my face dark with brewing emotion.
Yes, I’d ignored her ever since Liana appeared. Yes, I’d demanded too much of her. But I never truly intended to sever our mate bond. She was my Goddess-given mate. Even if she was just an Omega, she belonged to me-belonged to Crimson Moon Pack,
“I’ve never been more sure,” she replied, her tone unwavering. “Kirby, I’ve had enough of living like a slave in your Pack. And your mother, your so-called ‘brothers’-haven’t they been waiting for me to leave anyway? Well, now they get their wish.”
Her words hit like ice-tipped blades, stabbing deep into my chest.
Living like a slave? That’s what her life in Crimson Moon Pack had been? My mother… my Packmates… what had they done to her?
A flicker of hesitation passed through me, but it was quickly drowned out by Alpha pride and the searing feeling of being “betrayed” by my mate.
I stayed silent for a moment, then reached for the pen and signed my name and Alpha imprint on the scroll-the symbol of our once-sacred bond.
