Chapter 4

Early the next morning, I returned to White Moon Pack's estate.

My mother took my hand and spoke earnestly. "My daughter, you and Kane have only been married for a year. It's normal to have adjustment issues. As the Luna of Black Rock Pack, you can't be so impulsive! You can't just divorce like this!"

My father's face was stern, his tone displeased.

"Ayla, it's not that your mother and I aren't on your side, but divorce is unprecedented in our pack's history."

"Kane may have his faults, but it's not unusual for an Alpha to keep one or two Omegas outside. Once you have another child and he becomes a father, he'll naturally settle down."

"Besides, you're about to graduate with your doctorate. If you divorce now, what if it affects your future?"

I interrupted them.

"Dad, Mom, I've already sent the divorce agreement. Kane and I are getting divorced. That's final."

"I will also attend my doctoral defense on schedule. No one is taking my degree away from me."

My father slammed his hand on the armrest, making the teacup rattle.

"How could you make such a decision without consulting us!

Do you know how much negative publicity a divorce would bring to both our packs' reputations?"

As we reached an impasse, a steady voice came from the doorway.

"If Ayla wants to come home, let her come home. With me protecting her, Black Rock Pack won't dare touch her."
