Chapter 3 Broken Bonds

(Marcus’s POV)

Just as I was about to release Sophia from my protective embrace, she grabbed my arm. Her fingers. trembled against my skin.

“Marcus, I’m still not feeling well. Can you accompany me to get some moonlight herbs?” she asked weakly.

I frowned, my eyes shifting away from Elena’s disappearing figure. Something twisted in my chest as t watched my mate walk away, her shoulders rigid with hurt.

“Of course,” Irumbled softly, acknowledging Sophia’s request.

We walked to the Moonstone Apothecary in silence. My mind kept drifting back to Elena’s cold expression, the way she’d called me “Alpha” with such formal distance.

Sophia noticed my distraction. She smiled cautiously, her voice hesitant.

“Marcus, I need to ask you something important.”

I turned to her, waiting.

My heart sank, but he continued.

“However, I could arrange for my grandmother, Margaret Blackwood, to adopt him as a step–grandson within the Blackwood bloodline.

I was shocked. This would make Oliver the same generation as Marcus within the pack hierarchy. The implications were staggering

Marcus pressed forward, his Alphá authority seeping into his voice. “Are you unwilling?”

I hid my calculating thoughts behind a mask of gratitude. This could elevate my position within the Shadow

Moon Pack through my son’s connection to the Blackwood lineage.

“No, I’m honored by your generosity,” I agreed, feeling both resentful and hopeful
