She walked into that circle in her mother's white dress, the bond singing in her chest, certain he was hers.
He looked her in the eyes and rejected her in front of two hundred wolves.Four words. Spoken clearly. No hesitation. And with those four words, Kael Ashvane didn't just break a bond ? he branded her with the ruining mark, stripped her of rank, and made sure every wolf in Ironveil watched it happen.
Lyra Voss did not fall apart in that clearing.
She walked out. Head up. Eyes dry. And she kept walking ? all the way to the borderlands, where no one knew her name, where no one cared about pack hierarchy, and where she could finally find out who she was without the weight of a mate bond that had never been hers to begin with.Two years later, she's built something real. A practice. A life. A version of herself that is sharper, steadier, and capable of things that should not be possible ? her healing gift has become something else entirely, and the ruining mark on her collarbone has stopped looking like a scar. It's started looking like a warning.
Then Kael comes to find her.
He's changed. He says he made a mistake. He doesn't say why he made it ? not yet ? but he's asking for something she doesn't owe him, standing in the ruins of a choice he made for both of them, and the bond that should be dead is not nearly as dead as it should be.Lyra Voss is not the girl who stood in that circle anymore.She has a decision to make. And this time, she's making it on her terms.
