Shortly after they left , Aria received a message from Julia . ' Aria , you must have felt it last night . I can't believe you can actually endure . " " Kane has promised to spend the next few days with me . Imagine your destined mate spending time with another wolf before the ceremony . You're the most pathetic woman in the world . " Aria didn't reply . Instead , she instructed the servants to gather all her belongings from the villa and pile them in the backyard . Once everything was collected , she set it all on fire . She stood there silently , watching five years ' worth of memories burn to ashes . When the last remnants turned to dust , so did her feelings from the past five years . Two days remained before her departure . Julia sent her a photo - a pregnancy test report . " Can't you believe that I'm pregnant ?! This is Kane's first pup , and he's thrilled about it . " Aria still didn't respond . She took out her mate ceremony gown and , with her claws , tore it to shreds piece by piece . This dress , made for her , now held no meaning . On the day of her departure , Julia sent another message . " Kane and I are completing the mate bond . He promised me the same ceremony and said he'll never let me or the child suffer . " * Aria , you'd better step aside and give up the Luna position . Kane doesn't love you anymore . " This time , Aria replied . " I hope your dreams come true . " Afterward , she pulled the villa's surveillance footage . Kane had already brought Julia back multiple times for their little escapades. She copied the videos and sent them to the ceremony planner . " This is a surprise I decided to prepare for Kane . Make sure it plays during the ceremony . Remember , keep it a secret . " Later , Aria got a call from Kane . His tone carried a hint of guilt . " Little wolf , things here aren't wrapped up yet . I won't make it back until tomorrow morning . Don't worry , I'll be there before the ceremony . " She let out a soft chuckle . " Alright , I've prepared a surprise for you at the ceremony . " Chapter 8 Kane seemed excited . 305 Coins " What surprise did you prepare for me ? I can't wait . " " Little wolf , I've waited five years for you to become my mate . Tomorrow , you'll finally be my Luna . I'm so happy ... " His voice suddenly cut off . Then a muffled gasp escaped his lips . A flicker of mockery lit up in Aria's eyes . " Kane , I hope you'll enjoy the surprise . " Before he could respond , she hung up and walked out of the villa . The vehicle from the fake death agency was already waiting by the door . At the airport , she typed a few things on her phone before handing it to the staff . " Make sure this phone , along with the fake corpse , is delivered to the Alpha tomorrow . Tell him I died at six in the evening and left him a final message . " She wanted Kane to know that while he was mating with the beta , she ended her life in despair . Those last words she left behind were meant to haunt him with guilt for the rest of his life . The staff nodded , taking the phone and handing her new identification and a plane ticket . " Phoenix , we will erase all traces of your journey . Safe travels , and may your future be filled with happiness . " Phoenix - it was the new name she had chosen for herself , symbolizing rebirth from the ashes and a farewell to the past . From today onward , a new journey awaited her . Chapter 9
