After Severance,Alpha Fell in Love With Ex-Luna

Chapter 5: Apology…

Chapter 5: Apology….

(Elena’s POV) “Apology…” My voice carried deep disappointment as I clutched the mate bond severance documents against my chest. Before talking about David’s trouble with Marcus, I had to prepare everything well. It was easy to speak out severance words, but for our relationship, we still had lots of affairs to deal

with.

I forced myself to maintain composure while speaking into the phone. “Marcus, are you coming back to Moonhaven Estate tonight?”

The question hung in the air. I needed to know if he would be there when I finalized everything

My hopes shattered when I heard Sophia’s melodic voice in the background through the phone

“Marcus, are you ready to go?” she called sweetly.

Marcus’s tone shifted immediately, becoming warm and eager, “Elena, I’m picking up Sophia and Oliver from Crescent Ridge Academy. We’ll discuss whatever you need later.”

The casual dismissal cut through me like silver. His priorities were crystal clear.

“I see,” I whispered, my heart breaking as the call ended.

He had chosen them over me once again.

I got off work very late. When I got home, Marcus was not back yet.

I sat alone in the living room, red wine warming my throat as I tried to numb the emotional turmoil.

The mate bond severance documents lay spread across the marble coffee table before me.

Marcus returned without warning. His keen werewolf senses immediately detecting something wrong.

His golden eyes focused on my face with sharp intensity. “What happened to your cheek?”

I touched the swollen area where Richard had slapped me. I hadn’t realized it was still visible.

“Nothing important,” I replied dismissively.

His wolf Logan stirred with protective instincts. “Did your family do this?”

I was genuinely surprised by his sudden concern after hours of cold treatment.

“Why do you care?” I asked sarcastically. “You’ve made it clear I’m not your priority”

Marcus’s expression darkened. “Useless,” he muttered. “You shouldn’t allow others to harm the Luna of the

Shadow Moon Pack, regardless of our personal issues.”

Marcus moved closer, studying my injury with unexpected intensity. “Why did you call me so urgently earlier?”
