I drove straight to the law firm Keegan had mentioned earlier.

The receptionist looked up with a polite smile. “Good afternoon. How can I help you?”

“I am here to see Edgar Feralwood. Tell him Keegan Thunderhowl sent me,” I said.

Her expression shifted slightly in surprise before she nodded. “He is available. I will take you to him.”

A few minutes later, I stood inside his office.

“Lady Nivella Bloodwyn,” he greeted, offering his hand. “Welcome. Please sit. What can I do for you?”

“I want to end my bond with my mate, Razen Blackspire.”

Nivella's POV

I had just arrived home when Razen rushed out of the pack house, panic clear in his eyes. He looked at his carriage parked outside, then at me. He quickly forced a relieved smile, but I could still see the fear beneath it.

“Nivella,” he called, walking fast toward me. “Where have you been? I was worried.”

Worried? I almost laughed at how fake it sounded.

I gave him a gentle smile. “I went to get an anniversary gift for our celebration next week.”

Razen blinked, caught off guard. “Anniversary celebration?”

I tilted my head slightly. “Yes. Ours. Did you forget?” My voice stayed calm, but I held his gaze, waiting.
