After Amy and I finalized our partnership, she flew to Northia to handle the opening of our herbal remedy lab.
I, on the other hand, met with an experienced advisor from within the pack.
Since Ryan and I were never officially marked as mates, a simple mate dissolution agreement was enough.
When I saw the line “voluntarily forfeits all rights to territory and property inheritance”, I didn’t hesitate. I pressed my thumbprint firmly beneath it.
Right as the stamp hit the page, Clare sent me a video.
The screen opened on an extravagant ceremonial hall, draped in silver feathers and blooming flowers. Front and center hung a grand sign painted in shimmering silver ink that wrote, “Welcome to the Bonding Ceremony of Ryan Hardin and Clare Lambert.”
The camera shifted. Ryan stood there, going over the event details.
“I just casually mentioned wanting to be bonded, and he immediately started planning the whole thing for me. The ceremony is in two days. You’re invited, of course.”
