“A chance to turn back? No thank you.”
I reached into my coat and took out the document, handing it to him.
“Please give this to Ferris.”
My voice was steady, as if discussing something completely unrelated to myself.
Simon instinctively took it and looked down. His expression, which had carried a tone of tolerant guidance, froze instantly.
It was an identity cancellation application form.
At the top were mine and Linus’s chip numbers.
Below that, the applicant’s personal signature. In the final blank space, it read: Requires Alpha’s signature for confirmation to execute data deletion and privilege revocation.
Simon’s brow furrowed deeply as he looked up at me, his tone unprecedentedly serious: “Are you… serious?”
I nodded lightly: “Once he signs, Linus and I will leave Silver Moon Pack and have nothing to do with you anymore.”
‘You’re insane.”
He said through gritted teeth, panic appearing in his voice for the first time: “Do you know what canceling your identity means? Without Pack protection, you’ll ose access to basic medical care, communication, and identity systems. On other Packs‘ territory, you’ll be a ‘rogue‘ who can be expelled at any time!”
I looked at him, my expression calm as water: “That’s still better than being humiliated and manipulated by you pathetic people at will.”
‘Ferris is giving you a way out now. You just need to wait here for him, and he’ll definitely forgive-”
‘I don’t need his forgiveness,” I interrupted, my eyes firm. “I just need him to sign this, then let my brother and me leave.”
simon looked at me, his grip on the document tightening slightly.
‘I understand,” he said. “I’ll give this document to him later, but whether he signs it or not, I don’t know.”
finally showed a smile: “He’ll definitely sign it.”
Or rather, he should have been waiting for this day–when I’d finally be willing to leave and stop clinging to him.
Third Person POV
After handling some business, Simon reported to Ferris.
Ferris occasionally asked questions, his gaze sometimes drifting toward the window, seeming somewhat distracted, preoccupied with other matters.
When they were nearly finished, Simon suddenly remembered Aurora’s document: “Oh, Alpha Ferris, about-”
Though he’d told her he would pass it along, he still wanted to gauge Ferris’s attitude first.
If Ferris was indeed thoroughly fed up with Aurora, he would take it out directly now.
But the words stuck in his throat as he remembered that when they first became mates, Ferris had said he didn’t need special reports about Aurora’s affairs.
He wouldn’t concern himself with her.
And indeed, that had been true.
Chapter 12
All these years, Ferris had never proactively asked about Aurora.
Even when seeing her in the pack, he treated her like a complete stranger.
Seeing Simon’s hesitation, Ferris frowned: “What is it?”
Simon snapped back to attention: “Nothing,”
This matter probably wasn’t important in Ferris’s eyes anyway.
He placed the document in the pile of files to be processed. Ferris would see it soon and handle it himself.
with that thought, Simon said nothing more.
Simon set down a large stack of files and was about to leave when Ferris called him back.
“Wait,” Ferris asked with apparent casualness: “Did you see Aurora when you came upstairs?”
Simon nodded: “She’s waiting for you downstairs.”
He hesitated, then added: “If you want to see her, going down now should be in time.”
She probably hadn’t gone far yet.
