Chapter 12

Julian’s eyes widened. He even wondered if he was seeing things.

He rubbed his eyes, but when he looked again, the person standing before him was indeed Chloe.

So, the “beloved the Lycan King had mentioned… was his mate? How did an orphan Omega know the Lycan King?

“Chloe? What are you doing here? You should be at the estate.”

To his surprise, Chloe didn’t seem shocked by his presence at all.

Her eyes were cold, her expression flat.

“Thanks to you, Alpha Vance, I didn’t die in your dungeon. I’m sorry if I disappointed you.”

Julian looked bewildered. He didn’t seem to understand a single word she was saying.

How could she have died in the dungeon? She was the person he valued most.

‘Chloe, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. Come here. Come home with me.”

The expected compliance didn’t come.

She no longer acted like she used to-she didn’t just let things go after a little coaxing.

Instead, she instinctively took several steps back, moving closer to Arthur.

Her movement stung Julian’s eyes. “Chloe, what is the meaning of this?”

Chloe looked down, a sarcastic, cold smirk playing on her lips.

“What’s the meaning? Are you really going to pretend you don’t know what you ordered your Enforcers to do?”

Julian was still lost. “What did I do? Are you still angry about those photos? I already took down the trending topics on the forum. The gossip has died down, hasn’t it?”

“Chloe, I admit I’ve neglected you a bit lately, but I’ve been so busy managing the pack. Stop causing a scene. Can’t I just make it up to you when we get home?”

“There’s no need, Julian. We’re finished.”

Julian usually hated it when she mentioned severing the bond.

Hearing her cold, heartless words now, a flicker of displeasure crossed his face.

‘Chloe, how much longer are you going to be this stubborn? It was just a few photos. So what if the purebloods saw them?”

‘Once I have total control over the elders, no one will dare-”

‘No one else would dare, but you did!”

She screamed, her eyes brimming with tears as she glared at him.

She suddenly rolled up her sleeves, revealing a series of horrifying scars.

Two of her ribs had been broken, her fingers had been crushed by the high-ranking females in the holding cells, and her back was covered in dark purple bruises from the heavy batons of his Enforcers.

With one look, Julian’s breath hitched. His pupils contracted sharply.

“Who… who did this to you?”

During her years with the Blood Moon Pack, he had practically spoiled her. Aside from not letting her be seen with him in public, he believed

he had showered her with love.

How could someone have hurt her like this on his territory?

He stepped forward to check her wounds, but Arthur’s deep, commanding voice stopped him in his tracks.

Julian Vance, the only reason Chloe is hurt like this is because of you! What are you playing dumb for now?”

Julian froze, his entire body stiffening.

What are you saying? I didn’t…”

Chloe laughed, a trace of desolate sorrow in her eyes.

“Whether you did it or not, Julian, we’re over. I’m not going back with you. And I’m not your mate. Don’t call me Chloe. It makes me sick. “Julian, I’m taking this development project,” Arthur said, stepping in front of Chloe protectively. “If you want to fight me for it, you’ll have to trade your pack’s core territories to get it back.”

Arthur strode past Julian with an arrogant, royal air.

“Let’s go, Chloe.”

She followed Arthur out without a single backward glance.

Julian was left standing there alone, paralyzed by shock.

Finally, Beta Carter pushed the door open. “Alpha? What happened? What did the Lycan King say?”

Panic began to pool in Julian’s eyes.

“Carter, go. Find out right now. Find out exactly what happened to Chloe while I was at the gala.”

Back at the estate, Julian sat at his desk, his dark brows knitted in a tight frown.

He flipped through the reports of her movements over the last few days.

Shortly after he left, she had been arrested for theft, thrown into the Pack Dungeon, and detained. Not only that, but the pureblood females in the holding cells had bullied and beaten her under the elders’ orders.

They had left her with severe injuries.

In the end, it was Arthur Sterling-the Lycan King-who had paid her release fee and bailed her out.

The paper in Julian’s hand was crumpled into a ball.

The

With a deafening bang, the file was sent flying across the room, crashing heavily onto the floor.

Julian’s voice was lethally cold.

‘Chloe Bennett? Theft? Beaten and arrested? Who the hell is so blind that they dared disrespect the true Luna of the Blood Moon Pack?”

He could understand the “theft” part.

They had been fighting, and he had said some harsh things in the heat of the moment.

He had even suspended her pack accounts. She was used to being pampered; she couldn’t survive in the neutral zone without money.

So, even if she had stolen something from his safe, as long as he was there, he would have paid any fine to settle it for her.

But for someone to dare lay a hand on her?

In Julian’s eyes, whoever did it had a death wish.

Carter hesitated, stuttering. Julian glared at him with an impatient, lethal look.

Carter quickly explained.

Alpha… actually, Chloe tried to open your safe. It was… it was our own guards who caught her. They… they were the ones who beat her!”

“What did you say?”

Julian surged to his feet.
