Submission is Not My Style novel Chapter 167

Chapter 215

Jack steps forward, rubbing the back of lits neck. “Speaking of that,” he says, his voice calm but firm, “I’ve been talking with the High Priest. I think he’s found a solution.”

I tense immediately. “What kind of solution?”

“A harmless one,” Jack assures me, though he doesn’t quite meet my eyes. “Something to quiet the wolf connection until they’re older. A magical band worn around their wrists. It’ll keep their inner wolves asleep stop this constant pull between them.”

Nora frowns. “You’re talking about separating mates.”

“Temporarily,” Jack says quickly. “Just until they’re old enough to handle it. It won’t break their bond–only conceal it. Let them live normal lives for now.”

My chest tightens. I hate it. The thought of my son looking at her–the reincarnation of my mother–with cold indifference makes my heart ache. But what choice do we have? The crying, the sleepless nights, the helplessness–it’s breaking all of us.

“Will it hurt them?” I whisper. “Where’s the High Priest? I want to hear it from him.”

As if summoned by my words, the High Priest appears silently at the doorway, his expression calm. “No,” he says, stepping forward. “It will only numb their wolf senses toward each other. Once the bands are removed, everything they’ve forgotten will return in full.”

Jack glances at me, silently asking for my trust. After a long moment, I nod. “Do it.”

The ritual is simple. Two silver bands, etched with ancient runes, are placed on their tiny wrists. The moment the metal touches their skin, both children flinch–and then, the strangest thing happens.

They look at each other in confusion.

Then Lior scowls, crossing his arms and turning away. Amara frowns right back, sticking her tongue out at him before wriggling in Nora’s arms.

The silence that follows is surreal. No crying. No desperate reaching. Just… calm.

I exchange a stunned glance with Nora, and for the first time in months, she laughs–a genuine, relieved laugh. “I can’t believe it worked.”

Jack exhales, visibly relieved. “Finally, some peace.”

But as I look down at Lior, who now glares at Amara like she’s stolen his favorite toy, something inside me twists. The light that used to dance in his eyes whenever he saw her–it’s gone. It feels like both a blessing and a

curse.

Still, I force a smile for Nora’s sake. “It’s for the best. They’ll have time to grow… to live as children.”

Nora nods, though her eyes shimmer with emotion. “We’ll visit when we can. But for now, I think it’s time we went home.”

“You’re right,” I say softly. “It’s time for you to go home. Your pack needs you.‘

She smiles through tired eyes. “And you’ll finally get some quiet.”

Fury chuckles. “Let’s see how long that lasts.”

We walk them to the palace gates together, the afternoon sun painting the marble in molten gold. Lior stands beside me, his small hand clutching my dress as Amara clings to her father’s leg. Neither of them cries as they part. They simply turn away, each pretending not to notice the other.

Nora looks back once, her voice barely above a whisper. “We’ll tell them the truth one day when they’re ready.”

I nod. “When they find each other again.
