After his habitual manipulation, he noticed my hands trembling with rage.
A hint of satisfaction flickered in his eyes.
These accusations were his usual tactic. Even now, he remained unrepentant, blaming everything on me.
This was the male I had mated!
The one I had planned to bear children for, to grow old with!
At his core, he was cold, heartless, and completely unworthy of trust!
Aurora couldn’t contain herself any longer.

She lashed out at him: “Have you no shame? The pup died because of you! When I found Aria, she was nearly dead, do
understand? If she’s such a curse, then let’s get this severance done immediately! You and your family are disgusting hypocrites.
Let me tell you something–you don’t deserve children! I hope you remain childless for eternity!”
Her words successfully ignited Ethan’s anger.
He immediately grabbed the documents and headed toward the Council chambers.
“Fine, let’s do this! Only a coward would back down now! Just don’t regret it later!”
One hour later, we finally received our official mate bond severance papers.
Aurora and I felt reborn.
Standing outside the Council chambers, we exchanged glances, both feeling immense relief.
Our first priority was to return to the pack house and collect our belongings.
We wanted no further connection to that place.
Ethan rushed back to the enforcement office immediately after the hearing.
Victoria called Alexander: “Alex, my stomach hurts. I just had a car accident on my way home. I’m so scared. How are things on your end? The kidnapping case Aria mentioned isn’t real, right? Alex, can you come be with me?”
Receiving the call, Alexander’s face tightened with concern as he said he’d be there right away.
But I had already detected the panic and probing in her voice.
Aurora saw me standing motionless and assumed I was upset.
She quickly took my hand, comforting me: “Aria, don’t be sad. Trust the enforcement division. They’ll uncover the truth and bring you justice. Then let’s see how Victoria plays the victim!”
