The walls were shredded with deep claw marks. The bed sheets hung in tatters. Furniture lay overturned ind splintered, as if a storm had torn through the room. The air itself felt heavy with Alpha fury and the wild presence of his wolf.

Gavriel stood rigid near the door, fear tightening his chest. He dared not leave. If he turned his back for

ven a second, he was certain Rowan would lose what little control he had left.

Alpha, Lylah didn’t lie about her status,” Gavriel said carefully. “Perhaps it’s time to release her. Let her 50-”

He stopped.

Rowan’s golden irises snapped toward him. A low, dangerous growl vibrated from his chest,

The woman who spoke to me earlier was not my Lylah,” Rowan said, his voice cold and razor–sharp. Lylah would never speak to me that way. That man poisoned her mind. He turned her against me. He ised her.”

But their mating license is real. The bond has been legally sealed,” Gavriel said quietly.

Rowan’s snarl twisted into something feral. “Even so, she does not love him. I know it.”

n a blur of Alpha speed, Rowan drove Gavriel back and slammed him into the wall. The impact cracked he plaster, the force of Rowan’s power pressing down like a crushing weight.

You still don’t understand?” Rowan snarled. “Lylah will only ever love me. She promised me years ago. She is bonded to me in her soul–she will not deny it!”

The face that once made women swoon was now carved from shadow and madness, his eyes glowing with something cold, possessive, and terrifying.

Rowan released him. Gavriel lowered his head, shaken.

Rowan snatched his phone from the table.

“Elijah,” he said.

“Yes, Alpha?” came the voice of his lawyer–Blackfang’s most ruthless legal mind.

“Come to Lunaris. Take the fastest route. Now.”

“Now?” Elijah hesitated. “Alpha, what’s happened?”

Rowan’s lips curved into a cruel, knowing smirk.

“There’s a mating that needs to be annulled.”

Elijah gasped–but Rowan ended the call before he could respond.

Gavriel stared at him in disbelief. “Alpha, you would shatter Lylah’s relationship? Please reconsider. We still don’t know the true identity of her mate. Our enemy remains in the shadows. It is not wise to make a move now.”

Rowan scoffed. “Who else could he be? Some powerless student.” His eyes gleamed with arrogant certainty. “He has no power to stand against me.”

Even after Lylah had made it clear she did not want him–Rowan would not let go. Only then did Gavriel ruly understand.

His Alpha had lost his mind.

Inside the Modern Healing Department, two figures walked side by side through the gleaming corridors.

Cora’s hands were clasped tightly together. Her mood was dark, her thoughts still tangled in humiliation ind anger. Rowan and Gavriel had abandoned her without a second thought–left her standing like she neant nothing.

Cora, you’ve been quiet,” Alexander said gently. “Are you alright? I can show you around the building.”

He had been the first to find her earlier–standing alone on the lawn while dozens of phones were raised, ecording, whispering, watching.
