Chapter 116: Confronting the Past

(Marcus Blackwood’s POV)

Elena clenched her fists and suddenly let out a laugh. “But there are conditions, right?”

My action of adjusting my suit jacket paused. I frowned. “What if I say there aren’t?”

Elena retorted, “Do you think I’d believe you?”

I chuckled. “Then if I say there are, will you agree?”

Seeing her avoidance and desire to get away from me, my eyes filled with forbearance as I took her slightly cold hand. “You see, you wouldn’t agree either, so why bother asking? I said there are no conditions, and that’s final. You can choose not to believe me.”

Elena pulled her hand away. “What’s the meaning behind your actions, Marcus?”

Her voice carried exhaustion and wariness. The distance between us felt like an insurmountable chasm. “Marcus, haven’t you been ignoring me just fine all these years? And when you were standing up for Sophia and her son, indulging them, you didn’t think about the present, did you?”

My face stiffened for a moment before I replied, “Elena, I owe you, and I will make it up to you.”

Her eyes reddened again. “Do I care about your compensation? Can your compensation back to life?”

Elena’s emotions suddenly collapsed. She began to beat my chest with her fists.

“All I want is to sever our mate bond, why won’t you let me go! Do you think I’m not miserable enough, not pathetic enough? Is this punishment for me insisting on becoming your Luna back then, for driving away your beloved, still not enough for you!”

She screamed, “Then just reject me completely, Marcus, why don’t you just reject me!”

I stood still, letting her vent her anger. Each blow against my chest felt like nothing compared to the pain in her voice.

However, I soon realized something was wrong when Elena lost control of her emotions and began struggling to breathe. Her face turned pale, and her hands clutched at her throat.

I quickly supported her, calling her name in alarm through our mate bond. “Elena! Elena, breathe!”

Trembling and in distress, Elena was swept into my arms. I rushed out, calling for medical staff.

“Help! I need a healer now!”

In the emergency healing bay of Shadowpeak Rehabilitation Center, a healer gave Elena oxygen therapy. The steady hiss of the oxygen mask filled the sterile room.

Afterward, the healer approached me with a grave expression. “I suggest you take Elena to see a pack therapist.”

“What’s wrong with her?” I demanded.

“I suspect Luna Elena is showing signs of severe emotional disturbance. If this continues, there’s a risk of her harming others or herself.”

The word “harming” struck a chord in me. I remembered the time she had lunged at Sophia with a silver letter opener. I had pushed Sophia away, taking the blow myself, knowing I wouldn’t press charges.

But I couldn’t guarantee others would do the same.

After a long pause outside her room,

called my Beta. “Amber Stone, I need you here immediately.”

Amber Stone was sent to escort me home.

I decided to play a game.

I realized Marcus’s true intention was to find out my address.

I directed Amber to the residential ex where I lived. On the way, I contacted Hugo Ashworth and asked

“I need a favor,” I said quietly into the phone. “Can you give me your door code?”

“Why?” Hugo’s voice was suspicious.

“I’ll explain later. Please, just trust me.”

Upon arriving at the correct floor, instead of going to my own apartment, I walked to Hugo’s door and entered the code. The door clicked open, revealing Hugo, who was taking off an apron.

He quickly assessed the situation, glancing from me to the bewildered Amber behind me. Playing along perfectly, he asked with the casual intimacy of a close friend, “You’re only just getting back?”

The implication shattered Amber’s composure. I turned to her and asked, “Beta Stone, wo for dinner?”

When Amber stammered a refusal, she reminded me, “Luna, you… your mate bond isn’t severed yet.”

Hugo interjected coolly, “So I’m the other ar

I then delivered the final blow. “He can have an emotional affair during our mating, so why can’t I? Even if it wasn’t physical, it was spiritual. What do you call an Alpha who protects his ‘first love‘ at the expense of his own Luna?”

Amber was left speechless.

(Marcus Blackwood’s POV)

After Amber left, I waited in my suite for her report. The silence stretched endlessly.

When she finally returned, Amber reluctantly reported that Elena was cohabiting with Hugo Ashworth. A long, chilling silence filled the room before I, my face obscured by shadows, demanded in a low, dangerous voice, “You’re certain it was Hugo Ashworth?”

“Yes, Alpha. She entered his apartment with a key code. They seemed… intimate.”

I gave her until the next day to gather more information. “Find out everything about their relationship.

The following day, Elena, acknowledging her own emotional instability, visited a private supernatural therapy clinic. Dr. Jonathan Pierce diagnosed her with a “specific stress reaction” and mild depression.
