Chapter 62: Unraveling Bonds and Unseen Jealousy

(Elena’s POV)

After a moment, I came back to my senses, my voice dry. “It’s been too long since Ive made lunar healing broth, I’m out of practice.”

The words felt hollow even as I spoke them. Marcus sat there, still holding his untouched glass of moonpetal wine, his golden eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made my skin prickle.

Marcus countered my excuse, stating bluntly, “It’s not that you’re out of practice.”

He declared, “It’s that you don’t want to make it anymore.”

I looked at him with confusion, taken aback by his unusual display of despondency. In our six years together, I had never witnessed such a side of him. The powerful Alpha Marcus Blackwood, showing vulnerability? It seemed impossible.

His shoulders sagged slightly, and there was something almost defeated in his posture. This wasn’t the commanding presence I knew.

Despite my surprise, I maintained my composure and saw an opportunity. “I’ll make you the lunar healing. broth.”

Marcus’s eyes flickered with interest.

“But I want something in exchange.” I continued firmly. “Promise me you’ll cease all interference in David’s affairs.”

Marcus gazed at me with a hint of blurry amusement, his lips curving into a sardonic smile. “Is that your only request?”

I nodded without hesitation. “That’s all I want.”

“Fine,” he agreed, his voice carrying that familiar note of authority even in his weakened state.

Determined to hold him accountable, I quickly pulled out my phone and started recording. “Say it again. For the record.”

Marcus chuckled softly, but repeated his promise clearly into the phone. “I, Marcus Blackwood, agree to cease all interference in David Blackthorne’s affairs.”

I stopped the recording and saved it immediately. This was too important to leave to chance.

As I headed to the Moonhaven Kitchen, I could feel Marcus watching me, lost in thought. His phone buzzed on the bar counter, and I caught a glimpse of Sophia’s name on the screen.

He ignored the message completely.

In the kitchen, I prepared the lunar healing broth with practiced efficiency. The familiar motions brought back memories of countless nights fd done this same task, waiting for him to return from pack business or social gatherings
