---
Tatum feels it before he even fully registers what has happened. Leila's grunt cuts through the air, sharp and pained, at the exact moment the bond on his end completely severs. The constant, gnawing ache that has been his companion for weeks—the relentless throb that reminded him every second of what he was enduring—simply vanishes. It leaves him hollow, empty, as if something vital has been ripped out of his very being.
And in that instant, realization crashes over him like a cold wave.
He made a mistake. A catastrophic, irreversible mistake.
He had accepted Carmela's rejection. He had spoken the words, gone through the motions, and performed the ritual—but his wolf, his poor, confused wolf, had no idea who Carmela Eston was. All his wolf knew was that they had accepted a rejection. That their mate had rejected them. And now the bond that tied Tatum to Leila—the woman who held his heart, his soul, his very existence—was gone.
*"Fuck,"* Tatum mutters under his breath, his head whipping toward Leila.
What he sees shatters him.
Leila is cradled in Kelvin's arms, her hands pressed against her chest as if trying to hold herself together. Her face is contorted in agony, her eyes red and overflowing with tears, dark veins bulging along her temples. She looks like she's being torn apart from the inside out, and Tatum knows—*he knows*—exactly what level of immense pain she's experiencing. It was the very thing he had been trying to protect her from, the suffering he had been bearing alone for weeks because he couldn't bear the thought of her going through it.
As an Alpha, he had barely managed to cope with the pain in those early, brutal days. And now Leila, his gentle, strong Leila, is drowning in it.
He rushes toward her, his feet moving of their own accord, desperate to reach her, to hold her, to somehow take the pain back into himself where it belongs. But when his hands reach out, Leila shoves him away with a force that surprises them both.
*"Don't touch me! Don't!"*
Her voice is a raw, anguished cry that pierces straight through Tatum's heart. Her eyes are pouring out tears that seem endless, and each sob that wracks her body is a knife twisting deeper into his chest. He looks at Kelvin with pitiful, pleading eyes, searching for some kind of help, some kind of direction, but Kelvin only shakes his head slowly, his expression heavy with sorrow and resignation.
As Kelvin guides Leila past Tatum toward their car, a profound sense of fear grips Tatum's heart. A horrible, chilling premonition of loss. Any chance he had of getting her back has just been blown to pieces. He knows it. He feels it in his bones.
He *promised*. He promised he would never let her suffer again. He promised he would never let her experience any kind of pain as long as he lived. But once again, he has failed her. Again and again, he keeps failing her.
How can he possibly expect a second chance when he can't even keep his own promises? Why does he keep doing the wrong thing when all he's trying to do is the right thing?
He watches helplessly as Kelvin helps Leila into the car, his heart clenching so painfully he wonders if it might simply give out. He wishes with every fiber of his being that he was the one in Kelvin's shoes. He wishes he could hold her, comfort her, be the one she leans on. He wishes there was something, *anything*, he could do to take the pain away and make it his again.
But he has no such power. Not anymore. Not with the bond completely severed.
*Fuck.*

By the time Kelvin helps Leila into the car, her world has already begun to disintegrate. Her vision flickers in and out, the edges of her sight going dark and blurry. She cannot see. She cannot hear. She cannot smell, taste, or feel anything—nothing at all except pain.
*Pain.*
It is everywhere. In her mind, twisting and tearing. In her body, burning and throbbing. In her spirit, crushing and suffocating. And her wolf—her poor, suffering wolf—has sunk into the depths of despair, howling in agony, wailing in misery.
But even through the physical torment, guilt claws at Leila's heart like a vicious beast. Her wolf had suffered alongside her during those two long years. Locked away, hidden from her host and her mate, trapped in a prison of silence. And now, finally free and reunited with her mate, she receives a rejection instead of a loving embrace.
Yet what else was Leila supposed to do?
She doesn't want to be with Tatum anymore. She wants to love again—someone else. Someone who won't hurt her. Someone who will cherish her and never let her go. She has loved Tatum her entire life, given him everything she had, and where did that leave her? Broken. Betrayed. Pregnant and alone.
Is it wrong that she wants to see if she can feel that way for someone else? Is it wrong to want a chance at happiness?
*"Gently,"* Kelvin says as he helps her down from the car, his voice a distant echo in her ears.
But her knees wobble, her legs completely numb beneath her, and Kelvin has to scoop her up and carry her inside. The pain has her frozen from head to toe, growing stronger with every passing second—excruciating, torturous, relentless.
Her head feels like it's being split open repeatedly by a blunt axe. Her heart feels completely shattered, pieces scattered beyond repair. Her soul is utterly crushed, ground into dust.
*What kind of pain is this?*
*Will it ever stop?*
*Does it stop on its own?*
She cannot even feel her wolf anymore. It's like her wolf is there, but not there, a ghost of presence that offers no comfort, no companionship, no relief.
*How does she get rid of this gruesome pain?*
She tosses and turns in her bed, unable to find any position that eases the agony. There is no remedy for the ache that consumes her entire body. Nothing to cool the burning fire inside her that rages with painful fervor.
And then, through the haze of suffering, a thought emerges.
*Is this what Tatum has been bearing for weeks?*
*Weeks of this? Day after day, night after night, going about his life as if it were just some mild pain?*
He must be insane. Absolutely and completely insane for holding in this kind of pain and still refusing to break the bond with her. There is no way he is in his right mind, enduring agony like this for some silly, foolish hope that he could still be with her.
No. Absolutely no way.
This pain is far too excruciating for him to bear for her sake.
And yet, somewhere deep in the recesses of her broken heart, she knows the truth. She knows Tatum would bear this pain and a thousand times more if it meant a chance at keeping her. She knows his love, however misguided and flawed, was real.
But knowing doesn't stop the pain.
Knowing doesn't heal the wounds.
Knowing doesn't bring back the bond that was just severed.
In the darkness of her room, surrounded by the suffocating silence of her own suffering, Leila realizes she is truly, utterly alone.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my heart. This chapter was absolutely devastating to read. Watching Leila go through this excruciating pain, knowing that Tatum felt it too and chose to hide it from her—it's a beautiful, tragic irony. Tatum's realization that his wolf didn't understand the rejection, that he made a fatal mistake by accepting Carmela's rejection, is just gut-wrenching. The suffering is so well written that you can almost feel it yourself. The phrase "Why does he keep on doing the wrong thing when he tries to do the right thing?" is going to haunt me.
This is a masterclass in emotional storytelling. I cried for Leila, I cried for Tatum, and I cried for the bond that was completely severed. The pain is raw, visceral, and so heartbreakingly real.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars

## Next Chapter Prediction
Oh, the drama is far from over! I predict that Leila's pain will force her to confront some harsh truths about her feelings for Tatum. She may even realize that rejecting him might not have brought her the peace she expected. Meanwhile, Tatum will likely spiral into guilt and self-destructive behavior, desperately trying to find a way back to her—even with the bond completely severed. And what about Carmela? Now that she's achieved her goal of breaking them apart, what will she do next? Will she come for Leila again, or will her victory be short-lived? I suspect we'll see Kelvin step up even more as Leila's support system, and perhaps some revelations about her pregnancy and how it's affected by the broken bond!
