Get Back The Abandoned Luna (Scarlett and Alexander) novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Scarlett’s POV

“By your own admission, by the witness of this council, and by the cries of your own wolves… the bond stands broken.”

Gasps erupted–some horrified, especially those Alphas who were against the dissolution of my bond and the bill about th Omegas. Others were overjoyed–especially Kathleen, whose voice rang out loud as she said yes, while Lucien had a smile the corner of his lips, his gaze never leaving mine. And, of course, there were those packs from the Crescent Moon that I h taught and fought beside, who also looked relieved,

the one to bear the pain. But it didn’t matter.

The Head of Council’s voice carried over the crowd. “Scarlett, once Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack, do you renonce thi bond?”

My throat ached. My vision blurred with tears, but I lifted my chin, resolute. “Yes, I renounce it

The chain quivered, seemingly alive after hearing my words. A small crack appeared on the chain binding us, slowby extending halfway before stopping.

Heat shot through my arms, searing my skin and nearly making me scream.

The Head turned to Alexander. “Alexander, the Alpha of Crescent Moon, do you release her?

His answer came like a storm. “No! I will never release her!”

My breath stopped. The hall erupted–wolves gasped, muttered, and some cried out in shock, while I heard Kathleen curu

An elder slammed his hand on the crescent table. “You dare defy the ritual? You stand in open rebellion against the will of the Goddess!”

Alexander’s eyes blazed, his voice cracking with fury. “The Goddess gave her to me! You would tear apart what She bound?!

I swallowed, my chest aching. “Alexander… please. Don’t make this harder than it already is.”

His face twisted, anguish and rage in equal measure. “Harder? Do you think I’ll stand here and watch them rip you from me You are mine, Scarlett! Mine!”

“No,” I whispered, though my voice shook. “I was never yours. Not today, not ever!”

“Dissolve the bond right now, Alexander!” Faye’s voice screamed through the hall.

Alexander’s face darkened. “Shut up! She’s mine! She’s my Luna! Don’t you dare take her away from me

From the benches, I heard Lucien’s sharp voice. “You speak as if she were property. She’s not yours to claim, Alexander Sha the fuck up and dissolve the bond! Your little mistress is waiting for it.”

Alexander’s head snapped toward him, eyes wild. “So what? So you can have her after I dissolve our bond?! She won’t be yours, Lucien! You have no right-”

Lucien strode forward, his presence filling the chamber. “No right? And what makes you think you have the right to decide for her as if she can’t decide for herself? She is free now, Alexander. You already lost her. You are the one with no rights to

her,”

“Shut the fuck up!” Alexander roared, straining against the cuffs. The chain clinked, glowing faintly. “You poisoned her against me!”

I forced my trembling voice into the storm and let out a mocking laugh. “You are the one who poisoned me. Alexander. You chose Faye, now she will be your Luna.”

Alexander’s face contorted, “Do not speak her name! She means nothing compared to you. You are my Luna?”

“Then why, I choked, “was I not enough?”

Silence spread, suffocating. Wolves looked away, ashamed of him.

I took a deep breath and looked at the Head of Council. “Please proceed with the ritual. I’ll take the pain if it means forcibly dissolving the bond I have with him.”

Chapter 84

“Are you crazy, Scarlett?! You want to die instead of being with me?! Are you sick-

The Head of Council rose to his feet, striking his staff on the ground. “Enough! Your words condemn you. Alexander. You admit your betrayal and still clutch chains you have already broken with your own hands. The bond shall be severed by force. Priestesses–begin the ritual.”

The priestesses moved swiftly. One pricked my palm, blood welling and dripping into an obsidian bowl. The other did the same to Alexander.

Smoke curled upward, acrid and bitter. The chain between us burned red–hot, searing my skin, and I watched the crack slowly move toward Alexander’s side.

Pain ripped through me instantly. Kaya screamed in my head, thrashing against the tearing bond. My knees gave way, but the cuffs kept me from falling. I could not help screaming out, grasping the chain, hoping it would steady me enough to stand again.

Alexander roared, his voice raw. “Stop this! You cannot sever what the Goddess created! Do you hear me? You cannot

One of the elders sneered, his voice sharp. “You severed it yourself the moment you bedded another. Do not cry to the Goddess now.”

The priestesses chanted louder, their voices like crashing waves. The smoke thickened and filled my lungs. Every vein in m chest burned.

“Scarlett!” Lucien’s voice rang across the hall, frantic. “Stay with me! Don’t let him win. Don’t let him keep you bound“”

Tears blurred my vision. My voice tore from my throat like broken glass. “I… renounce… this bond”

The chain convulsed violently, rattling between us.
