Mated to My Intended's Enemy novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 160 While She Was Gone,He Never Noticed

Author

Miles away,Silvano and Isabella were finishing breakfast at the Northern Territory villa. The Alpha barely registered that Freya hadn’t made her usual call,his mind already occupied with the upcoming negotiations. Aurora would be arriving soon,and he needed to prepare Isabella for the day’s events.

Isabella,however,had noticed the silence from her mother’s end. Her bright eyes darted to the clock repeatedly,a mixture of relief and something deeper—something that tugged uncomfortably at her young heart—swirling inside her.

"Young Miss,aren’t you going to wait for your mother’s call?" Sara asked gently as Isabella grabbed her small beach bag.

Isabella’s wolf,still developing but already showing Alpha tendencies,bristled at the suggestion. "Mom’s probably busy," she replied,her tone deliberately casual. "Besides,we’re going to be late meeting Aunt Aurora!"

She dashed for the door,evading Sara’s attempt to slow her down. "Young Miss,it’s still early! You have time!"

But Isabella was already racing toward the car,her heart pounding with an emotion she couldn’t quite name. If she left now,she wouldn’t have to endure another lengthy conversation where her mother asked too many questions and made her feel guilty for enjoying her time with Dad and Aurora.

Yet as the car pulled away from the villa,Isabella found herself glancing back at the house,a tiny frown creasing her forehead. Mom had never missed their morning call before—not once in all these months.

Her wolf pup whimpered softly,but Isabella silenced it with the excitement of seeing Aurora again. Aurora never made her feel bad about wanting to run wild or stay up late. Aurora understood her in ways her mother never had.

Still,as they drove toward the beachfront meeting place,Isabella couldn’t shake the strange feeling settling in her stomach—like something important had changed,something she wouldn’t understand until it was too late to fix.

The next morning,Freya walked purposefully through the corporate headquarters where she had worked since marrying Silvano. As Gamma of the Shadow Pack,she had also taken on significant responsibilities within Moretti Enterprises,overseeing pack integration into the human business world with remarkable efficiency.

Now,with divorce papers filed and her mate bond severed,she had no reason to remain. The company was Silvano’s domain,and every corner held memories of the life she was leaving behind.

Freya knocked firmly on Timothy’s door,her back straight and her expression carefully neutral despite the bone-deep exhaustion of breaking a mate bond. The Beta looked up in surprise when she entered.

"Luna—" he began,then stopped when he caught her scent. His eyes widened in shock. "Freya... your bond—"

"I need to resign,effective immediately," she said,placing her letter on his desk. Her voice was steady,though her wolf ached inside her. "I’ve already cleared my office."

Timothy stared at her in disbelief, "Does he know?" Timothy asked quietly,struggling to process what this meant for the pack hierarchy.

Freya’s smile was brittle. "He will soon enough."

As she turned to leave,Timothy called after her,"Where will you go? What should I tell the pack?"

Pausing at the doorway,Freya looked back one final time. The golden flecks in her eyes—signs of her wolf’s presence near the surface—gleamed with newfound determination.

"Tell them their Luna has remembered who she was before she became a mate," she replied. "And that sometimes,even fate makes mistakes."

In the world of the Shadow Pack,information traveled fast—especially when it concerned the Alpha’s mate. Timothy had immediately recognized the significance of Freya’s resignation,but Jake,one of Silvano’s personal secretaries,was blindsided by the formal letter that now sat on his desk.
