The Heartbroken Luna's Choice Banish Love novel Chapter 80

Third Person’s POV

Thwack. Cassian slammed the termination agreement and the bank card onto the coffee table. “The driver will be here immediately. Go pack your things.”

He spoke with ruthless finality, then sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

The flame jumped. He took a long drag.

One million, just like that.

The obsidian cane… she must have sold it.

It was her mother’s sacred heirloom, the last true relic of the Silverlight Pack.

She actually went through with it.

Samantha stared at the contract, shocked that he was driving her out despite the clear path to divorce.

She clenched her hands, fighting back tears. “Cassian, why won’t you just admit you still have feelings for me?”

Cassian leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees. He took a slow, deep pull from the cigarette.

When he spoke, his voice was chillingly devoid of emotion. “Samantha, we ended six years ago.”

Faint smoke blurred the air between them.

The agreement and the bank card lay untouched on the table, clear lines of demarcation.

Cassian’s eyes were fixed on the termination papers.

Samantha stood before him, her eyes burning with resentment. “Cassian, I know your family despise me.”

“They’re pressuring you, stopping you from publicly breaking up with your mate and getting back with me.”

She deliberately softened her voice, leaning into the most vulnerable omega posture she could manage. “Cassian, I understand your position.”

“If this is how we have to live, I accept it,” she said, looking down at his profile. “But please don’t

say such cruel things to me. It truly hurts.”

Cassian crushed the cigarette and stood up, all traces of hesitation gone.

“Samantha,” he said. “No one stops me from doing what I want.”

“I refuse to terminate the mating because I don’t want her to leave me.”

He spoke slowly, every word distinct. “She was spoiled her whole life. She can’t handle being hurt.”

“Her running away, her fighting to break the mating bond–that’s between us.”

“And I don’t need your understanding.”

Cassian’s voice lowered, tightening with an undeniable pressure that spread from his gland. “Leaving here with Algernon immediately is the biggest favor you can do for me.”

Samantha stood frozen, unable to process the rejection.

She had just moved in, finally setting foot inside the Alpha house. How could she be thrown out this easily?

Before she could speak, tears of frustration began to fall. “Cassian, I didn’t move in here on my own. Luna Trista specifically gave us this house.”

She looked up, her omega scent trembling. “If you kick us out now, how can I ever show my face again?”

Cassian’s fatigue was visible. His pheromones were compressed into a cold, hard line. “Samantha, this is the Alpha villa belonging to me and my mate.”

“Do you honestly think,” he asked, “it’s appropriate for you to be living here?”

Samantha was undeterred. The pressure only seemed to fuel her defiance. “Cassian, for my sake, you lied to your mate, claiming your family sent you away on an alliance mission.”

“You went a whole month without coming home or even sending a calming text.”

She continued, taking a breath. “You were fine doing all that. Now I just followed your mate’s instructions and moved in. Am I really the one being so unreasonable?”

Cassian looked away, the shadow of his lashes concealing his eyes.

He didn’t deny that he had handled the situation badly.

He let his wolf give a low, rumbling growl in his chest, but he suppressed the accompanying

anger and regret.

Seeing his silence, Samantha grew bolder, laying out all her cards.

“Cassian, you and your mate have been mated three years. She begged you during her heat cycles or unstable phases to buy her pads and suppressants, and you refused.”

“I made one call, and you personally went shopping for me, picking out multiple brands of pads and stabilizing patches, telling me to choose what worked best.”

“For me, you stood up to your Ironthorn elders, publicly defending me, an outsider, at the council meeting.”

She closed in on the details he refused to face. “You told your mate yourself that I was the Luna you truly wanted.”

“You said–you’ve never truly been happy since you lost me.”

“You only mated with her at the Stone Circle as a compromise, a forced choice when you had no other option.”

She tilted her chin up, every word a challenge. “Are you still going to deny that you have feelings for me?”
