Chapter 25
After ending a five–year relationship that left deep emotional scars, I was wary of opening my heart
again.
Magnus appeared like a gentle rain after a long drought – patient, understanding, and seemingly
genuine. Where others might have pushed for more, he showed remarkable restraint, respecting my need to heal at my own pace.
His courtship was a masterpiece of devotion. He would send thoughtful gifts – not extravagant displays of wealth, but carefully chosen tokens that showed he listened when I spoke.
Small things, like my favorite moon flowers left on my doorstep, or hand–written notes sharing his
hopes for our future. During pack gatherings, he never tried to rush my decision, instead offering quiet support that made me feel safe and valued.
Gradually, his unwavering patience and seemingly sincere affection began to melt the walls around
my heart. I started to believe that perhaps not all love stories were meant to end in heartbreak.
The way he looked at me – as if I were the moon itself – made me feel cherished in a way I had never
experienced before.
Our wedding ceremony was intimate and profound. Magnus’s vows brought tears to even the most
stoic pack elders‘ eyes.
“My heart beats only for you,” he had sworn, his voice thick with emotion. “I swear by the Moon Goddess, you’ll be my only mate. Loyalty to our bond is the sacred law of the Steele Pack.”
The Moon Goddess herself seemed to bless our union that day, bathing us in silver light as we exchanged our eternal bonds.
When our daughter Emma was born, Magnus seemed to complete our perfect family picture. He would spend hours cradling her, singing ancient pack lullabies, and promising to protect us both
with his life.
Our home was filled with laughter, love, and the kind of happiness I had once thought existed only in fairy tales.
These memories make his betrayal cut even deeper now – each tender moment revealed as just another carefully crafted lie in his elaborate deception.

Chapter 25
I thought it was true love.
Looking back now, I can’t believe how blind I was.
His constant devotion – it was all too perfect.
Like a movie script, written just for me.
I suddenly felt all the strength in my body disappear after I slapped Magnus that way.
I collapsed to the ground, and for the moment the sky swirled before my eyes. Blood continued to flow from my mouth, I could feel countless broken bones all over my body.
There was a sudden clamor in the crowd, and the sound of chariot tires rubbing the ground suddenly came from the distance.
I barely opened my eyes, and looked vaguely at the dozens of chariots that were traveling fast in the distance, all pitch–black and in a row.
One after another, the chariots stopped, and dozens of strong men dressed in black came down from the chariots, all of them looking serious and moving in a neat and orderly manner.
The surroundings were quiet, no one knew what they were here for.
The chariots were looking for a place to stop when a shout came from the chariot:
“Princess, we’re late!”
