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

Chapter 2 Summer , Ethan continued , his voice full of confidence , well just say Selin is lost .

By the time I return for her , her reputation will be ruined and shell have no choice but to marry me .

He let out a smug , self satisfied laugh , utterly oblivious to the fact that his so called brilliant plan had already been uncovered .

I I suppressed a pang of disgust .

Ethan and I had been dating for three years , He knows all my preferences and quirks .

It was as if he had memorized every facet of my being , often surprising me with thoughtful gestures that seemed almost too perfect to be true .

When he suggested he will take me to his Pack , saying it was time to meet his family and discuss our future , I was thrilled .

Selin , he asked carefully , how much would your family expect in tribution ? I thought for a moment .

As a Sacred Wolf , participating in a bonding ceremony with me typically required a tribute of fifty thousand silver marks a price reflective of my lineage and the honor of such a union .

But I didnt want to scare him away .

Twenty thousand should be enough , I said lightly , keeping my tone casual , as though the number wasnt steeped in tradition and significance .

Ethans breath hitched audibly , his face turning pale as if the blood had been drained it .

I raised an eyebrow and asked what was wrong , but he forced a nervous laugh and waved it off , muttering , Its nothing .

That night , however , his journal told a different story .

He scrawled in frustration : Twenty thousand silver marks for a mating ceremony ? Thats pure robbery .

She might as well have asked for my life .

When he proposed going home , I eagerly agreed .

An early marriage was ideal for raising a powerful heir and for nurturing the ancient magic of my bloodline , so that I will control the Bloodbond of Shadows as soon as possible .

But as I stepped into his rusty old truck , I felt drowsy , my instincts dulled .

There must have been soporific herbs in the tea he offered .

But my wolf nature s supports me to have some consciousness .

Ethan .

Summer whispered , her voice full of false innocence , I thought you said you loved me most .

Ethan looked at me thinking I was completely unconscious .

Smiling , he kissed her again .
