Chapter 16
Casey’s POV
A week had passed by as I started to accept what had happened. I had sent Lori back to her father so that I could mourn my wife well. Shepherd had told me to release Zora, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that. By releasing her, it meant that I had given up on her and I didn’t want to do that. I didn’t even know if she fared well nor what those Northerners did to her.
‘We must release Zora or the Dark Lord Alpha will think the mark on her as a defying act to him,’ Sage told me, but I couldn’t listen to him.
I had made my decision that I would write a letter to the Dark Lord Alpha, pleading with him to return my wife to him as well as promising never to work out or act against him at all. While what I was doing was st up id, I didn’t care. I just couldn’t sit idly and sulk all the time. The least he could do was to let me hear her voice to know that she was fine and happy in the north.
‘You’ll cause more harm than good. What if he sees this as an act of defiance? Did you even think that Zora sacrificed herself so that we could live? The situation was very bad, Casey. We could have died. They would’ve killed all three of us. Zora chose the best option that kept all of us alive. She’s a smart woman. That’s why we fell for her. She’ll take care of herself there, but she won’t come back, Casey. Don’t lie to yourself! Just accept this mercy and peace she sacrificed for us as well as making the most of it,’ Sage added, but I rejected it angrily by growling.
“If only I can find that asshole Hardy!” I loudly shouted, prompting Sage to growl.
‘Yeah, that jerk has a l ot t o e xplain to us. He touches what’s ours and then

betrays us with a lame excuse,’ Sage responded, agreeing with me.
After that, I went to my table in the living room. That table was the only furniture there because I hadn’t fixed my place. Soon enough, I sat myself with a pen and paper because I made up my mind to write to the Dark Lord Alpha. I had considered what Sage said to me.
I addressed the first letter to Zora.
[My Emerald Queen,
I’m still going through everything. If I tell you that I’m handling it well, I must’ve lied. You know well that I would be willing to sacrifice my life for you, but you did the right thing when I wasn’t even brave enough to do that. I can’t leave things where we left off the last time. I’m truly sorry for everything. I really tried, but I guess my best wasn’t good enough.
Lori’s pregnancy was unplanned to me. It’s so sudden, but please know that I’m willing to try to have children with you. I would’ve really tried. I also wanted to have a daughter who looked and had strength like you. Still, I guess fate really wanted to mess us up when it ruined our happy married life and brought you to the north. I wish that you’ll find peace and joy over there. While that sounds crazy, I really do hope that you’ll be free to do whatever you want.
If the Dark Lord Alpha ever releases you, please know that you’ll always be welcomed by me. I’ll release you to make your life easier with the Dark Lord Alpha. I don’t know what or who you’ll be with, but I make a wish to you that the same fate which ruined us smile for you there. I love you, Zora. I always have and always will. The Moon Fang Pack will never have a Luna again until I die. That’s a promise I’ll never break.
Forever yours,
Casey/Sage]

because it felt-like I was letting her go. Moments like these made me really hate my own life. I sincerely hoped that I could storm the north to get Zora back, but I also knew that it was a suicidal move for my entire pack and myself or the region’s alliance. Hence, I couldn’t let her sacrifice be in vain.
I folded the letter and put it inside an envelope. This time, I wrote another letter to the Dark Lord Alpha, Darius Hand.
[Your Grace,
I write to you with peace in mind. Please know that I had no idea what the Moon LIght Pack’s crime was against you and I didn’t participate in it. Unfortunately, the entire east region had to pay for it. My wife had
sacrificed herself to serve as a tribute to save my pack, my, and my fated mate’s lives.
I don’t have the intention to make demands. Rather, I’m pleading with you. Zora is the most precious woman in my life. Now that she’s with you, I’m left numb and alone. I love my wife deeply, so I’m pleading with you to give her your mercy. Our last few months together weren’t very good because I had found my fated mate. She has suffered enough. While I’ve got no idea if it was too much for me to ask or not, please take good care of her.
In the morning, Zora likes drinking coffee. She always goes jogging. When a hot chocolate is served for her, there must be marshmallows in it. My wife also chooses vanilla salts for her bath. Every time she has a nightmare, she’ll talk in her sleep. At night, I would usually put on her socks for her because her feet get cold no matter what the weather outside is. She won’t eat after 6 p.m. Most importantly, she really guards her privacy.
While Zora always puts a brave font, she’s a sweet, innocent, and loving woman beneath it. Most of the time, she’ll speak her mind and she’s a very critical thinker. Please don’t see her defiance as an offense. She’s just

I’ll release my wife after I’ve grieved her loss properly. Please, don’t hurt her. If you ever show your grace toward her one day, let her go with dignity and pride. I’m not begging as an Alpha here, but I’m begging as a husband who lost his wife for the best.
Again, please, Your Grace, take care of Zora.]
As I wrote the last words in the letter, tears fell from my cheeks. I didn’t want to tell myself that Zora wouldn’t come back to me anymore.
Even though I didn’t have courage to bring her back, the least thing I could do was to make sure if she was okay.
