Shattered Bonds

My grandmother's death was a storm, ignited by Ella's venom. The day of her memorial, a day that should have been for mourning, was instead marked by chaos—the same day as Alpha Ethan's wedding.

He, consumed by pride and blinded by Ella's manipulation, accused me of faking my grief, of trying to ruin their ceremony.

In a surge of fury, I took my grandmother's casket and left.

Days later, the truth clawed its way to the surface, and Ethan, finally awake from his delusions, was swallowed whole by regret.
