Chapter10
My hands obediently reached for the paper against my will. I could only mutter out “no’s” and pleas for him to stop when I finally took it from his hand. The pen my father handed to me grasped tightly between my fingers as I shakily signed my name on the line beside the x. I stared at what I’ve done in horror. Forced against my will, I had signed away my right to reside in the pack I was born and raised in.
“We have one more thing to do.”
My father said quietly. I peered up through my lashes to see the men give each other a knowing look. Landon straightened up, eyes cold and hard.
“I, Landon Walker, future Alpha of the Nightwake Pack, sever my bond to Selene Dixon, future Luna of the Nightwake Pack.”
An involuntary gasp left my lips as I gaped at him. A flow of emptiness settling in my chest. My wolf whimpered to herself, curling into a ball in the depths of my mind. My body was shaking. I convulsed at the stream of intangible pain stabbing every fiber in my body. My knees bucked, my legs falling weak until I fell to the floor with my hands the only
thing holding me up.
“Accept it Selene.”
I could barely shake my head. A fresh stream of tears sliding down my face and falling onto the floor. Little droplets of my sorrow looking up at me as my head hung low. My muscles were sore. My head pounding from the trauma all hitting me
at once.
“Accept it.”
Again. He used the damned Alpha Command again. My bottom lip rolled out, quivering as I looked at him. I parted my mouth but no words would come out. This was all too much. My mother silently watched on, a hint of sadness in her eyes before she briskly turned away. I didn’t have to look at my father to know what face he was making.
“I, Selene D-Dixon, future Luna of the Nightwake Pack, se-sever my bond to Landon Walker, future Alpha of the Nightwake Pack.”
The bland words coming from my mouth burned in my throat. It felt like such a sin to utter these words. Landon hunched over, his eyes screwing shut as he tried to steady himself. Hestia soothingly rubbed his back, cooing at him as she tried to calm him. In that moment, I felt so numb. So gone to the world. So gone to the land I never earned a place in. When he finally looked at me, my eyes were downcast as the tears kept trickling down my chin.
“Pack your things.”
He said hoarsely,
“You leave tonight.”
Tugging Hestia behind him, he allowed my father and mother to leave the room first. My father walked on, not bothering to look over his shoulder once. My mother trailing quietly behind him. Once the two left, he let Hestia go first before taking a step to the door.

“You know,”
He stopped at the sound of my voice but didn’t turn around. My heart ragging loudly against my chest but was quiet to the world, shattered. I ached with intense pain shooting through every atom that made up my body. The day I met my mate became the day I lost everything.
“-for someone who hates having his life being controlled, you sure have no problem controlling mine. So tell me, how is it
any fair?”
He stilled, his muscles tight before going out the door and letting it close slowly behind him.
“It isn’t.”
He whispered just before the door locked.
“But that’s just the way it is.”
