Third Person’s POV

Aurora’s voice was soft, almost pleading, yet sharp enough to cut.

“I just think… you and Freya Thorne are already divorced. There’s no need to keep clinging to the past. Besides, I’m the one you love. Does it matter so much whether I was the wolf who saved you or not?”

Caelum Grafton’s growl thundered through the room. His golden eyes flared with Alpha fire.

“Of course it matters!” he snarled. “If you were never my savior–if Freya was the one who truly dragged me back from the brink–then how could I justify betraying her again and again for you? Aurora, do you realize how deeply you’ve ruined me?”

Aurora staggered back a step, shock flashing across her face.

“Ruined you? How can you say I ruined you?” She sounded as though his words were foreign, like wounds she never thought he’d inflict.

Caelum’s chest heaved, fury boiling over.

“Isn’t it obvious? If you hadn’t lied about being the one who saved my life, I would never have cast Freya aside. I would never have severed my bond.”

Aurora’s expression twisted with disbelief. “So you’re placing all the blame for your divorce on me? Caelum, tell me -who was it that heard I had returned from abroad and came running to my side like a wolf pup desperate for scraps? Who was it that obeyed whenever I called, who showered me with gifts just to stay in my orbit?”

Her words lashed like whips. She stepped closer, eyes burning with scorn.

“If you truly loved Freya so much, why was I able to command you so easily? Why was your marriage ring to her nothing more than a cheap trinket? You never valued her, Caelum. Not really. If your so–called savior had been some nameless she–wolf with no pack, no bloodline, no status–would you have worshipped her then? No. You would have tossed her a handful of coins and moved on. But me?” Her voice rose, trembling with both rage and pride. “I was Bluemoon’s daughter. I was Vice Captain of the Airborne Wing. And that’s why you clawed your way to me. Admit it.”

Every word was like a strike across Caelum’s face, and his wolf roared in his chest. With a snarl, he lunged forward, his hand clamping tightly around her throat.

“Silence!” His voice was feral, the command of an Alpha in full wrath. He couldn’t stand another second of her poison in his ears.

Aurora clawed at his grip, her face reddening as she choked.

“Caelum…you… are you going to kill me?” Her voice rasped between gasps. “If you do, you’ll be a murderer. My parents are right outside–do you think you can escape their judgment?”

Her words cut through the haze of bloodlust. Caelum’s grip faltered, his hand jerking back as though burned.

Aurora crumpled to the floor, coughing violently, clutching her bruised throat. She lifted her eyes to him, wide with disbelief. This was not the man she had once thought she owned. Not the man who had once hovered at her side, showering her with attention.

She had believed–foolishly–that once he learned of her pregnancy, everything else would be forgiven. That he would bend again, because a child bound them together. But now… now she saw clearly. Perhaps he had never truly loved her at all.

“You said you loved me,” Aurora croaked, voice broken, raw. “You swore it. And now you want to kill me?”

“The child. That’s why I came.” His voice was cold steel. “You will end it. You will tear this burden from your womb. Don’t think you can use this pup as a leash around my neck.”

“Yes.” His voice was ice. “I don’t need this child. And you… you’re unworthy to bear the blood of Silverfang. A liar like you will never carry my heir.”

His lip curled in contempt. “I will never mate with you. Even if you give birth, you will not set foot in Silverfang’s halls. You will never be Luna.”

Aurora’s voice cracked with rage. “No? And what then? Do you think Freya Thorne will return to you? Do you really believe she still loves you? That she’ll take back the wolf who betrayed her again and again?”

At the sound of Freya’s name, Caelum’s fury dimmed, replaced by a sudden, sharp clarity. His eyes gleamed.

Freya.

If she returned… if she forgave him… then perhaps everything could be rebuilt. The ruins of SilverTech, the debts, the shame–all of it might vanish if she stood by him once more.

The thought struck him like lightning, and for the first time in weeks, hope flared in his chest.
