I couldn’t leave Theo’s side.

I sat by his side for hours, watching him stir and groan in his sleep.

The doctor said his condition wasn’t so good. He would be bedridden for a few days.

And would need support since he can’t handle himself.

I can support him if he wants.

When Theo woke up after a few hours, we chatted and I saw how vulnerable and scared he was.

My heart broke for him. He looked like a man who was on the verge of losing everything.

I left Theo’s room when the doctor asked me to. He needed some private time with Theo.

I returned to my room to rest for a while.

But I didn’t sleep, I couldn’t.

After everything that happened.

Mine and Theo’s mate bond was splited and our wolves snarled at each other, a sign of rejection.

Everyone in the pack looked at me, confused and whispering to each other.

Then as usual, Cara seized the chance to humiliate Theo and me in front of the pack.

I can’t stand her, she’s beyond evil for doing that to us.

“You lied. Both of you lied to the pack”

Her words still echo, sharp enough to reopen wounds I fought years to heal.

But none of it compares to the sound of Theo collapsing.

The way Zane’s voice broke when he shouted for help.

My heart dropped to my throat when I called out to Theo and I didnt get any answers.

Hours later, the halls were quiet, but my chest refused to stop thundering against my ribs.

I stand outside his chamber door, my hands shaking and heart racing in terrified circles.

I couldn’t pay as much attention as I should, but I heard a few Elders whispering about Theo and me.

Chapter 65

:

Everyone in the pack looked at me differently while the doctors were attending to Theo.

I didn’t care, I just wanted Theo to be okay.

I heard some omegas gossiping about me, but I don’t care about any of them.

I only care about him, I clasped my hands silently praying for his safety.

I hope the moon goddess won’t forsake me as she did before.

I lost Draven, no, he forsake me. I hope I dont lose Theo.

After the doctor left, Zane finally let me back in.

Theo was unconscious. His skin was pale, and his lips were a little chapped.

He was breathing too unstable to my dismay.

I sat beside him, taking his hand into mine.

His hand felt too cold.

I locked eyes with him, something in me cracked

“I don’t care what the Moon says,” I whisper. I sounded like I was about to cry. “My wolf doesn’t care either.”

Our wolves didnt reject each other. We didnt reject each other either.

So how can the moon goddess be so cruel as to interfere in our lives like that?

I can feel it, this wasn’t the goddess’ doing. I feel something was wrong but I have no evidence to back my claims.

I know it in my heart but the pack?

They don’t wait for the truth, they only care about the plain things presented in front of them.

I could swear they were already blaming me for how things turned out.

But who cares what they think of me?

I lowered my head into Theo’s hand, holding it close to my face.

“I choose you,” I breathe, softer now, more terrified.

And there it is, I spat out something I’ve been holding back.

The truth I kept trying to deny all this time.

“I choose you even if the goddess doesn’t bind us.” My voice choked. “It doesn’t matter if we are true fated mates or not. What matters is that we want to live and love each other until our last breaths” Tears streamed

down my face. “And even if your heart is weak.”

The moment the last words slipped out from my lips, I froze.

I had questioned Zane about Theo’s condition and forced him to tell me the truth.

Zane told me just enough, enough to scare me away.

But I’m not easily broken especially when it comes to a man I loved.

I lifted Theo’s hand and pressed it to my forehead.

“I’m not Elara.” My voice is rough. “I won’t run. I won’t choose power over you either. I won’t pretend I didn’t feel what I felt the moment I looked at you.”

My heart thuds painfully.

“If your heart can only beat for one more year, then I’ll spend that year with you.” I took a sharp breath. “If it can only beat for a month… then I’ll take that month.”

I looked at Theo’s cold unconscious face. “And if it breaks tomorrow…” My throat tightened. “Then it breaks in my arms. Not alone.”

My heart thundered against my chest loudly. I would defy the goddess herself for this man.

And the terrifying part? I think my wolf would too.

–Theo–

The first thing I felt when I woke up was pain.

My chest burned with unbearable pain but I’m an Alpha I can handle the pain.

Though it felt like my heart was being squeezed until it was crumpled.

When I opened my eyes, I didnt see anyone beside my bed, it was empty.

That realisation sent a shot of pain down my chest.

I could swear I dreamt that Kaia was crying on me but maybe it wasn’t just my heart failing anyone, I’d have dementia as well.

For a few days now, Kaia’s hands cupping my hands have kept me warm.

But but there’s nothing.

She must have learnt the truth about what I’ve been keeping from her.

I wouldn’t blame her if she got mad at me and refused to forgive me.

I blinked slowly.

Chapter 65

When my vision cleared up, I was able to fully see my room.

There were dim lamps, and bandages on my torso.

When I raised my head, I saw Kaia sitting on the floor amd my heart skipped.

She pulled her knees to her chest, I could see, her face was blotchy from crying.

The moment my breath caught, she lifted her head.

Her eyes, oh gods, they broke something deep inside me.

“Don’t sit up,” she whispered

But I try to anyway, because she’s too far. And I need her closer.

Pain exploded across my chest. I hissed through my gritted teeth and collapsed back.

Kaia’s chair scraped the floor as she lunged to my bedside.

Not touching. Just close enough that I could hear how fast her heart was beating.

“Theo…I told you not to get up” she scolded me, pushing a pillow under my head.

“Are you crying, Kaia?” I asked.

“No, why should I cry?” Her voice fractures. “Why didn’t you tell me about your heart, Theo?”

My throat closed, and I could taste dryness in my throat.

Once she knew, she would realise she deserved someone stronger.

Because I was already losing her tonight. First the bond, then the humiliation in front of the Elders, then Cara….

I thought I could survive anything except losing Kaia.

So I stayed silent.

“I didn’t want you to worry,” I say quietly. “You already had enough on your shoulders.”

“That’s not an answer.” Tears spill again. “You hid it from me. You let me think we had a future when you were fighting to breathe.”

My lips tremble. “I didn’t want to scare you.”

“You terrified me anyway.”

Her words slap harder than any rogue could.

Kaia dragged her palms down her face, frustrated, hurting.

“How long. Theo? How long have you been pretending you’re fine?”

“A while.” I whispered.

She shook her head like she couldn’t believe me.

“And you thought what? That I wouldn’t care? That I’d walk away if I knew?”

My voice broke. Because that fear has been eating me alive.

“I thought you’d see me as a burden. As someone who’d tie your life down. Someone who could die at any moment and leave you shattered.”

Her lips part.

So I keep going, because everything in me is unravelling anyway.

“And tonight… when the Moon goddess rejected us…” My chest tightened. “I thought maybe it was a sign. That you deserved someone strong. Someone with a stable and healthy heart. Someone who wasn’t born with a failing heart like mine.”

Her breath caught. She moved closer.

“Theo,” she whispers. “Look at me.”

I did. Her eyes shone with tears.

“I don’t care if the moon goddess never chose us,” she said. “I don’t care if the elders or if the whole pack

doubt us.”

“I choose you.” Her voice trembled with its steadiness with conviction. “Mate bond or not. Healthy or hurt or scared out of your mind, I choose you.”

My throat constricted.

“If you die,” she said softly, “I’ll be broken either way. But I’d rather love you for one day than walk regret it for a lifetime.”

Something inside me shattered.

I cover my face with my hand and breathe out a gasp, half sob, half relief.

Kaia gently pulled my hand away. Her fingers brushed against my cheek.

And for the first time since the bond snapped, I breathe fully.

“Kaia…”.I swallow hard. “I’m terrified of losing you.”

“You won’t,” she muttered. “Not because of your heart. Or because a mate bond failed.”

She made her forehead touch mine.

“I’m here, Theo.” Her voice broke beautifully. “And I’m not leaving.”

My heart stuttered in my chest. Probably jumping with joy.

Kaia has given me life again and I want to live it to the fullest with her.
