My Alpha, Kaelen, was grievously wounded by rogue wolves in a bloody battle; it was Seraphina, the heiress of the Wind Howl Pack, who "risked her life" to drag him back from the battlefield.
To repay this debt of gratitude, and also for the alliance between the two packs, Kaelen kept Seraphina by his side, appointing her as his special advisor.
He personally taught her how to wield her powers, soothed her with his Alpha aura when her wolf spirit was damaged, and even allowed her to sleep beside his den.
Kaelen repeatedly assured me:
"This is just duty, Ella. She saved my life, after all, and I must solidify this alliance. There's absolutely no possibility between us."
But later, in the Alpha's den, I saw the two of them, entangled.
Kaelen knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, begging me.
"Ella, her wolf spirit is about to shatter! I can't just stand by and watch an ally die. I had no choice!"
Not long after, I heard rumors that a new life stirred within Seraphina's bloodline.
I closed my eyes, fighting back the searing pain from our mate bond, and wiped away my tears.
That night, I used an ancient, secret method to contact his sworn enemy.
"Does your previous offer still stand?"I agree, to change who I belong to.
