On the night of the bonding rite before the Moon Goddess statue, Leonard Blackwood, Alpha of the Obsidian Pack, delivered the fatal blow. He proposed an open relationship. He said, "Seraphine is pregnant. During every dark moon and shadow moon, she will need my primal power. I will stay at her estate during those times. On the full moon, I will return to the main house to fulfill my duties as your mate." A mournful howl echoed from the depths of my soul. The betrayal of a bonded mate triggered the tearing pain of the soul bond. Instinctively, I clutched the imprint. I asked, "So all this time, you've been spending your nights on her territory?" The Guardian Law states that a pregnant female has the right to the Alpha's pheromone protection. I am merely fulfilling my responsibility. I stared directly into his eyes. "The sudden postponement of the bonding rite, the change of venue to that remote castle, even keeping everything minimal, that was her idea, wasn't it?" Watching the bond will cause her great emotional distress. It will affect the pup. Each word felt like a silver-tipped dagger, stabbing precisely into my heart. Those previously inexplicable odd behaviors now had a ridiculous explanation. They were all for Seraphine.
