The Heartbroken Luna's Choice Banish Love novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210

Trista’s POV

Cassian didn’t answer. He just tightened his grip, pulling me even harder against him.

I knew him too well. As the ruler of this territory, even if I wanted to leave, he would never let go–not willingly.

We were stuck in this loop, and the conversation had reached its dead end.

Inside the quiet room, Cassian held me in silence.

I let him. I didn’t struggle, I didn’t scream, and I didn’t shed a single tear. I’d moved past that.

I realized tonight that the reason he was refusing to break the mating, the reason he wouldn’t give Samantha a title, was actually to protect her.

He knew Howard’s ruthless streaks better than anyone and was terrified of the old man’s next move.

Samantha’s “life–saving” act back in college gave her a permanent saint–like filter in his eyes.

Add to that six years of wandering and a son who carried his “bloodline,” and he was drowning in guilt.

But even all that weight wasn’t enough to make him blow up his life for them. It meant Samantha didn’t have enough leverage—not yet.

As far as I was concerned, my only way out was to make Samantha lower her guard.

I had to team up with her to push those two into the spotlight.

Only then could I finally sever this twisted bond.

I stayed nestled in his arms, acting more submissive than ever.

When Samantha first showed up, I’d fought him tooth and nail. I’d even tried to end my life just to threaten.

him.

Back then, he called me hysterical. He said I wasn’t acting like a proper Luna, that I wasn’t calm enough.

Well, I was perfectly calm now. No crying, no fighting. And yet, he didn’t look happy about it at all.

Our mating bond felt like a single fraying thread–one tiny tug and it would snap for good.

“Can you let me go? I need to get my comm–stone,” I said, My wolf was growling in my head, revulsed by his proximity.

Hearing that I wanted my stone, Cassian immediately got up to fetch it.

I sent a message to my parents, lying that I’d gone to New York on vacation with him.

For the next few days, I stayed in the healing center to recover.

I needed to get back on my feet, I had work to do.

Cassian cleared his entire schedule, staying by my side every second.

mished

That shattered mate–connection felt like a rusted needle, stirring painfully deep in my soul whenever he got close.

My wolf was clawing at the walls of my mind, disgusted by this traitor’s presence. Every time it sensed his scent, it let out a jagged, angry whimper.

Finally, on the first Monday after my “vacation” ended, I insisted on being discharged.

While Cassian was busy with the paperwork, I started packing. I wasn’t expecting an uninvited visitor.

When Samantha walked in clutching a fruit basket, a cold smirk touched my lips.

For a rogue who smelled of decay and cheap perfume, she sure had some balls to show her face here.

She set the basket down, her face a mask of fake humility. “Luna Trista, I’m here to apologize. I wasn’t thinking clearly the other night. I shouldn’t have listened to Cassian and put on your dress. I… I got my scent all over something that belongs to you.”

I had zero interest in playing games. “Samantha, let’s make a deal.”

She froze. Those shifty, rogue eyes of hers flickered with a sudden, greedy light.

I rolled out of bed, ignoring the sharp pull on my back as I stood before her.

My wolf sensed a challenge and stood tall.

A surge of high–level Luna aura exploded in the room. I saw Samantha’s pupils shrink into tiny slits–the primal, instinctive fear of a stray facing a pureblood.

“I took a lashing from Howard just to get you out of there that night,” I said, my voice low. “I think I’ve proven how serious I am.”

Samantha’s eyes were full of suspicion. “Luna Trista, I don’t follow.”

I leaned in, dropping the bait. “I will find a way to make your place by Cassian’s side official. I’ll make the elders acknowledge you and give you and your son the status you want. In exchange, you have to find a way to make Cassian let go. You make him cut the bond and agree to a peaceful divorce.”

The excitement on her face was almost uncontrollable. A flash of fanaticism crossed her eyes, but she still tried to play the “good girl.” “Luna Trista, please don’t speak out of anger. I know Cassian has neglected you lately to take care of us. I’ll tell him to spend more time with you, to try and suppress his instinct to come.

see me…”
