Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

(Ethan's POV)

Victoria Frost had descended into madness. Her spirit was completely shattered by the relentless torment from Regina Blackwater and the other inmates at Shadowfall Detention Center.

A professional psychological assessment confirmed her severe mental breakdown. Her behavior had become uncontrollable. The report recommended immediate transfer to Moonstone Psychiatric Facility.

Her wolf had retreated so deeply within her consciousness that it could no longer provide any protection or stability to her fractured mind. The once-proud she-wolf was now a broken shell of her former self.

I held the psychiatric assessment report in my hands. My amber eyes fell upon Victoria, who was huddled in the corner of Cell Block C.

She was disheveled and muttering incoherently to herself. Her once-perfect appearance was now marred by bruises and filth.

Victoria alternated between manic laughter and sudden weeping. Her face contorted with terror as she flailed her arms.

"Don't come near me! Don't hit me!" she screamed at invisible tormentors.

Then she would plead desperately. "It wasn't me who killed you, it wasn't me, don't haunt me!"

Kneeling on the cold concrete floor, she caressed the empty ground. "Emma, I'm your mother," she murmured tenderly to nothing.

In another fit, she banged her head against the stone wall. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" she chanted with brutal force.

Blood trickled down her forehead. She seemed oblivious to the pain, lost in her fractured reality.

When the detention guards intervened, she suddenly fixated on me with her damaged eyes. Her bloody face softened with a distorted affection.

"Ethan, have you come to mark me as your mate?" she asked desperately.

"Ethan, you promised you would bond with me, why haven't you yet?"

I stared back, my expression unreadable. My wolf recoiled from her broken state, feeling only disgust and pity.
