Landon Arlen, the Alpha of Moon Shadow Pack, has made his decision, declaring, "I reject you, Jessica Lyon, as my intended mate." The weight of this rejection pierced Jessica's heart, as she tilted her head to hide her tears, trying to hold them back. The once-joyful sensation of their unspoken connection, a distant beacon of happiness, had vanished, replaced by an overwhelming longing that would forever haunt her. With a heavy heart, she mustered the strength to say, "Jessica Lyon, daughter of the Moon Shadow pack's beta, accepts your choice." She spoke those words through gritted teeth, attempting to find solace in the formal acknowledgment, but her emotions remained numb, save for the profound sorrow. For five years, Landon had been her entire world, and now as she witnessed him embrace another, her heart shattered into countless fragments, leaving her to bear the unbearable burden of a life without him.
