My Alpha Wants Two Lunas? I'M Done (Laila and Holt) novel Chapter 316

Ruby wiped away her tears, her voice trembling with heartbreak. “No matter how much he likes that wretched woman, he should never have treated you this way. You’re the mate he swore before the Moon Goddess to cherish for the rest of his life.”

Ironically, Lillian’s tears had dried up instead. In a hollow voice, she murmured, “It’s my fault. I was the one who fell for him first… but he said he liked me too.” She lowered her eyes. “Mom… I want to break the mate bond.”

Ruby’s face turned deathly pale in shock. “Breaking the mate bond? No, absolutely not! What will happen to you after that?”

“I can’t survive here anymore, Mom. I’m tired of this. I want to go home.”

Complete despair filled Lillian’s eyes. The moment Shawn pushed her to the table without even asking what truly happened, her heart had already died.

“No. I won’t allow you to break the mate bond.” Ruby’s voice rose sharply. “Was this Laila’s idea? How could she teach you something like this? Haven’t I told you since you were little?! Breaking a mate bond is betraying the Moon Goddess!”

Lillian hurriedly shook her head. “This has nothing to do with Laila! I’m the one who wants it.”

Ruby gripped her shoulders tightly. “You don’t need to defend her. Do you know what she did tonight? She brought Samuel here, smashed up the entire front courtyard, and even had Shawn beaten.”

Lillian’s tears spilled out instantly. “Really?” Her voice cracked. “She stood up for me… Someone finally stood up for me. It’s because I’m useless. My own problems ended up troubling Laila instead.”

Ruby grew increasingly agitated. “Silly child, don’t let her fool you. She just wants someone

foolish else to break their mate bond too, so people will stop talking about her. And you, my daughter, you’ll become the center of everyone’s gossip instead.”

“And besides, she has Prince Vance protecting her now. But what about you? Once you leave Shawn, who will protect you?”

“But no one protects me even if I stay here.”

Lillian wiped away her tears and looked at her mother quietly. “Mom… if Shawn and I really separate, would you let me come back home?”

Ruby immediately covered her mouth, warning her in panic, “Lillian, don’t say such things again… I will never allow you to break the mate bond with Shawn. You can still live a good life here. Once the child is born, his paternal instincts will awaken. The baby will bring him back

to you.”

Disappointment flooded Lillian’s heart. She understood now.

Her mother would never allow her to come home.

Her parents had always been deeply traditional. They had said long ago that none of their children would ever be permitted to break a mate bond.

Once upon a time, Lillian had believed that too. If two people were married, then they should hold on to each other no matter how difficult life became. Any hardship could be overcome together.

But now she understood. Some things could never be solved through effort alone.

Once a person’s heart changed, no amount of struggling could ever pull them back.

She no longer wanted to waste her life here. She wanted to leave.

Seeing her fall silent, Ruby assumed she had finally listened. “You must listen to me,” she continued gently. “Once the child is born, Shawn will change when he sees the baby. He’ll treat you well again. You just need to endure this period. Once you survive it, everything will be fine.”

Her hand stroked Lillian’s gaunt cheek, her expression full of heartache. “In the end, he was the man you chose yourself. Even if you chose wrong, you still have to bear the consequences. Lillian, the Whitmore may have declined, but do you know why people still remember us? Because our family has always remained loyal to our mates. No member of the Whitmore family would ever break their mate bond. That is our promise to the Moon Goddess.”

“But you’ve seen it yourself. I’m truly suffering.” Lillian tilted her head back, forcing her tears to stay inside. “I’m only asking you one thing. If I really break the mate bond… would you and Father allow me to come home?”
