After Betrayed by my Alpha King Mate, I Disappeared

"Are you absolutely certain you want to purchase this Bond Severance Potion? Once consumed, it will gradually dissolve your mate bond over fifteen days.

After that, the connection will be permanently broken. There's no reversing it, no room for regret."

I nodded without hesitation.

"Your name?" she asked, preparing to record the sale.

"Sierra McKnight."

The witch's hand froze, her eyes widening with recognition.

Everyone in our country knew that Damien Blackwood, the Alpha King of the Northern Territory, had an Omega mate he'd cherished and pursued for years before their wolves finally bonded.

Her name was Sierra McKnight.

Without hesitation, I drank the Bond Severance Potion in one swift motion.

Opening my phone, I booked a one-way ticket to Europe departing in exactly fifteen days.

This time, Alexander would never find me anymore.

Leaving the witch's shop, I stepped into a transformed Northern Territory. The usually stark winter landscape buzzed with frantic activity.

Pack members scurried about like ants, hanging twinkling fairy lights and arranging tables for what promised to be an extravagant celebration.

The crisp air carried the scent of fresh pine garlands and warm spices.

"Careful with those crystal glasses! They're the Alpha King's favorites!" A beta supervisor barked orders at younger wolves.

I watched as they meticulously arranged everything according to Damien's exacting standards. He always wanted things perfect for me.

"You should see how he looks at her," a third chimed in. "Like she hung the moon itself."

I walked past their excited chatter, a weary sigh escaping my lips. If they only knew.

The Northern Territory practically worshipped our "perfect" bond. Everyone knew the story of how fiercely Damien cherished his mate.

Two years ago, when rival wolves attacked me with silver, he'd stormed vampire territory alone.

The memory was still vivid - him bursting into our room, clothes torn and bloody, clutching the rare blood magic that saved my life.

"I'd give all my power to keep you safe," he'd sworn, feeding me drop after precious drop.

But that wasn't even the beginning of his devotion.

Before my wolf emerged, I was just a weak Omega - practically human. Other packs sneered at my presence.

"An Alpha King with a mateless Omega? Disgraceful!" they'd whisper.

Lesser alphas had pressured him daily to reject me. "Choose a proper mate," they urged. "Someone worthy of your status."

Damien's response had been legendary. He'd thrown the delegation out bodily, roaring, "I'll wait for Sierra's wolf to
