The Broken Luna Unbound: Goodbye to My Alpha’s Seven-Year Deception Novel

Chapter 7 At three in the morning , the room finally fell silent save for running water in the bathroom .

Winter emerged from her hidden corner , her legs numb from hours of stillness .

She stepped over shredded clothing , placed the memory card on the desk , and moved toward the door .

At the slight sound , Reeds voice carried from the bathroom .

Did you hear something ? Its the middle of the night , love .

Come back here … Scarletts voice purred .

The bathroom door cracked open briefly before closing again .

Winter caught her reflection in the window a ghost of herself before slipping away into the night .

The pre dawn streets were deserted , no cars in sight .

She wandered aimlessly , her mind blank despite the roaring in her ears .

Her wolf whimpered inside her , grieving .

When she finally looked up through exhausted eyes , she found herself at her old pack training grounds Northern Heights Academy .

At seven , the campus was peaceful .

Winter walked the familiar paths alone , memories stirring like autumn leaves .

The training field where Reed had run countless laps with her , the ceremonial hall hed filled with moon flowers for her birthday , the gathering grounds where hed declared his intentions before the entire pack … Everything looked the same , yet Winter felt like a stranger in her own memories .

Near the main building , she encountered her old Pack Mentor , who immediately recognized her .

Winter Frost ? What brings you back ? We heard about your upcoming mating ceremony The Broken Luna Unbound : Goodbye to My Alphas Seven Year Deception 6.7 % with Reed .

Here to distribute the formal announcements ? Winter forced a smile , deflecting .

Just visiting .

Its been too long .

They walked together , reminiscing about pack training days .

Before parting , the Mentor retrieved a worn journal from her office .

I confiscated this from Reed during meditation practice years ago .

Since youre to be mates , you should have it .

Winter accepted it with a respectful bow .

On her way home , she opened the journal to find Reeds bold handwriting : March 12 : Winter didnt accept my courtship , but she smiled at me today .

Theres hope .

July 1 : Summer break is endless .

Waited four hours near her den just to catch a glimpse .

November 23 : Someone tried to court Winter .

I lost control and challenged him .

Got reprimanded .

December 21 : My 17th moon year .

All I wish for is to spend every moon cycle with 16 year old Winter Frost .

Forever .

Every page bore her name , chronicling a young alphas pure devotion .

Tears fell unbidden mourning what was lost , accepting what must end .

Reaching her villa , Winter had composed herself .

As she stepped out of the car , she came face to face with Reed returning home .

Her eyes caught the marking bites on his neck , and memories of the night flooded back .

She looked away .

Reed noticed her tear stained face and frowned , about to speak .

Scarlett , wrapped in his arms , smirked at Winters reddened eyes .

Thank you for last night .

Ive sent your payment .

The photos were perfect you must have enjoyed the show too ? 1 : dhue to Mu Alphas Seven Year Deception 7.0 % Reeds heart lurched .

What show ? The birthday photos , of course .

Unless you mean the later activities … Reeds hand shot out to cover her mouth , but she playfully nipped his fingers .

Winter , now immune to their displays , turned away .

Passing the waste bin , she dropped the journal inside .

Those pages of young love and true devotion disappeared into the darkness , buried forever .
