He Marked Me as His—Then Threw Me Away

After Seraphina Vale stole three men fate had once chOS en for me, I swore I would never let another wolf claim im e. Until Dorian Blackthorn, the Alpha of the Blackthorn Pan ck, claimed me in front of everyone. He swore his loyalty under the moon oath, turning away every approach fro m Seraphina. He even called out her behavior publicly in the council hall. For the first time, I thought I had found a wolf worth entrusting my soul to. Three years into marria ge, I saw Seraphina again. Someone asked her, "What's t he most reckless thing you've ever done?" She licked her lips, eyes unfocused. "Of course, having Dorian Blackthor n mark me. His mate still foolishly thinks he truly hates m e." "In truth, I've borne his pup, lived in his territory, driven his car, spent his money." Everyone's eyes turned to me. After all, I was Dorian's Lunna. I did not react. I simply seen t the letter I had drafted for three days to the Black Moon Medical Team. The reply came swiftly to my mind: [Your appointment has been confirmed.] [The Black Moon Me dical Team welcomes you as its new chief healer. Your of fice and residence have been prepared.] My wolf growle d low in my chest. In two days, I would leave this pack an d take up my new post.
