Mated to the Lycan King

"Sign it." Luna Rory heard someone instruct in a deep, icy voice.

A copy of the bond-breaking vow was threw into Rory’s face when she looked up. She froze, stared up at Alpha Cole, and smiled bitterly.

"Do we have to get a divorce and break the bond?" Rory picked up the bond-breaking vow and clutched them tightly in her shaking hands.

Cole frowned and looked at Rory. She had been the Luna of his wolf pack for the past three years.

She had just finished tidying up her room and was sweating profusely. She had on thick glasses, but they couldn't hide the exhaustion and bewilderment in her eyes.

She seemed sweet and innocent, but a little dull.

"Just sign it. I don't want her to misunderstand our relationship now that she's back," Alpha Cole said calmly, yet it sounded like he wouldn't allow her to refuse.

Rory was stunned as she knew whom the woman Cole was talking about.

Who else would he mean? He was talking about Sylvia Preston, Alpha Cole’s first love, and was also his mate.

"Check the agreement out. You don’t have a good education, so after the bond-breaking, the Mansions and the Ferraris will be yours. I'll also give you additional 20 million dollars as compensation." Cole glanced over at her as if he was afraid that she wouldn't agree.

Rory was an orphan who was adopted by the pack next door, the Redleaves Pack.

Because of Cole's kindness, Rory began to fantasize that she would eventually end up as his mate and lifetime partner.

On the day Rory's wolf was awakened, they ran to each other with joy, thinking they would be fated mate. But their happiness quickly faded when they met.

They weren't each other's mates.

"So, I can't be your Luna, right?" Rory couldn’t help but cry.

"No, my Luna can only be you." As Alpha Cole didn’t find his mate back then, he made a promise to Rory that he would stay by her side forever. So, Rory became his Luna.

However, two years ago, Alpha Cole met his childhood friend Sylvia on the Alpha ball and they knew they were each other mate.

Fated mate.

Since then, he wanted to break the bond with Luna Rory.

"Okay, I agree." Rory knew clearly what he wanted. With a heavy heart, she flipped through the bond-breaking vow and finally nodded slowly.

"Don't worry, I'll move out of the pack house in a few days. I won't stand in your way." She picked up the pen and signed.

"Thank you for taking care of many things involving the pack and me in the past three years," he said, showing his gratitude before he nodded his head at her.

He had to concede that Rory was an adequate Luna, regardless of how dull and unremarkable she was.

Cole took the signed bond-breaking vow when his beta minded link him. He glanced at Rory and said in a low voice, "I have to go and handle some Alpha businesses, bye..."

Rory nodded as if to say that he could leave her already.

"Well? Did she sign?"

Luna Sophie, his mother, asked nervously as soon as Alpha Cole stepped out of the study room.

Cole frowned, then nodded.

"Great. I haven't had any peace of mind these past few years since you married her and she became the Luna of our pack. No matter what, she shouldn't be your mate," Luna Sophie said with relief before she happily nodded.

However, Cole didn't say anything nor show a sign of agreement to her words.

"I disagreed when you decided to make her your Luna. She's nothing but an orphan living in the Rotwoods Pack! Thank the mood goddess now that you're divorced and have found the mate you belong to. I'll be relieved if you make Sylvia your Luna. She's the only one worthy of you." Luna Sophie sighed.

"Exactly! I feel shame about having Rory as our Luna. Our pack will definitely be better if Sylvia becomes our Luna instead." Cole's sister, Viola Turner, said happily as well.

After overhearing the conversation outside the study room, Rory lowered her head. Nicki Joseph, daughter of the Alpha of The Redleaves Pack, and a close friend of Rory's, called her not long after. She sounded exhausted.

"Rory, are you sure you're not going? You used to love hunting in the wild. And it’s a good chance to race."

Rory used to enjoy wild game hunting and drag racing before she married Cole. However, she changed a lot after falling for Alpha Cole. She gave up all those things which she loved since she learned from others that Alpha Cole had a thing for gentle, perfect Luna.

After three years of bonding, Rory had almost forgotten what she had looked like before or how she used to act. She forgot who she really was.

"Rory, if you don't want Alpha Cole to know about those things, you can keep it from him. Besides, Cole..." On the other end of the phone, Nicki continued.

"We've broken the bond. I’m not his Luna anymore."

"Have you finally figured it out or did Cole go crazy?" Nicki seemed taken aback, followed by a deep breath.

"He brought it up, and I agreed," Rory uttered with a bitter smile.

"Congratulations!" Nicki even sounded happy. "I'll pick you up later, and we must celebrate that you are finally broke the bond. You’re free now."

Rory hung up the phone instantly.

Rory walked to the guest room to pack up all the things that belonged to her. She painfully removed the wedding ring from her finger and put it on the cabinet in front of the bed. She couldn’t help but look at it with longingness.

Dragging her suitcase, she walked through the living room, and she felt she had to say at least one goodbye to her former mother-in-law.

"Someone's finally getting out of here. She should really look at herself in the mirror! She's been in our pack for so many years just for being Luna. She's nothing but a nobody, but she wants what she doesn't deserve. No pack members respect her as long as they follow my order." She didn't expect to hear Viola’s voice before she said something.

Without hesitation, Rory stopped, picked up the glass of water on the table, and poured it at her.
