Everyone Believed in Our Love, But I Knew It Wouldn't Survive

Alpha Jakob gave me the grandest bonding ceremony five years ago. I became the world's most envied woman.

Five years later, I received a provocative voice message from Jakob's first love, Molly.

"I just got back to the pack, and all I needed to do was to play coy with Jakob, and he came right over. Tonight, he originally prepared blue fireworks for me. I don't like blue, but I decided to give it to you since I never liked to waste. You can use it during your anniversary."

The day during our fifth mate bond anniversary, I looked at the blue fireworks blooming in the night sky, quietly waiting in my seat as I faced the empty seat opposite me.

Molly's provocation came again. A photo of her having a candlelight dinner with Jakob.

I didn't cry, and simply submit the application to terminate my mate bond with Jakob to the pack's Elder Council.

At this time, my personal assistant told me she saw someone had applied for a grand bonding ceremony.

"Luna Cynthia, the bonding ceremony is prepared by Molly for herself and Alpha Jakob. It will take place seven days later. Do you wish to stop it?"

On the day the Blackflame Pack's alpha Jakob, and I bonded as mates five years ago, he had already prepared this form.

The form had already been signed with Jakob's name. That was because he had sworn to love only me. If he ever betrayed me, then I could file for a mate bond termination at any time.

This form was once the proof of his loyalty.

I never imagined I had to take it out again. Especially not on our fifth mate bond anniversary.

I quickly signed my name, eyes looking at his empty seat across me with sorrow and exhaustion.

My wolf sobbed within me. "No… I saw the Jakob from five years ago. He wants to stop your hand from signing!"

I shook my head and whispered back. "You said it yourself. That was him from five years ago. He was an illusion from your past."

I looked at Mia and said in a quick tone, as if I was worried I would have second thoughts. "Take this mate bond termination form and submit it to the pack's Elder Council as soon as possible."

Once Mia finished her task, she quickly called me back and said cautiously, "Luna, the submission went smoothly. But I saw a she-wolf called Molly quietly reserving a large bonding
