Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception

Chapter 134

Sarah said nothing as she turned away, trying to put as much distance between them as possible, but Arnold's

voice stopped her.

“Grandma knows about us getting a divorce.”

Sarah stilled for a second before responding, her voice calm. “It's good to know.”

At least now, there would be no more forced meetings, no more fake smiles, no more pretending. Arnold’s

grandmother had always been the one pulling the strings, trying to orchestrate reconciliation between them. But

now, with the truth out, that exhausting charade could finally end.

A faint sigh escaped her lips, but she said nothing more.

They left the hallway in silence, walking side by side yet worlds apart. The tension between them was almost

tangible, filled with unsaid words and unresolved emotions.

As they neared the dining hall, Sarah stepped on a puddle of water she hadn't noticed. The moment her foot

slipped, a sharp intake of breath left her lips, her body tilting dangerously to the side.

Before she could hit the ground, strong hands caught her.

Arnold.

His grip was firm but not rough, steadying her before she could fall.

For a second, she felt the heat of his touch, a reminder of how familiar this used to be. But the moment

passed quickly.

Sarah pulled away immediately, straightening herself with a muttered, “I'm fine.”

Arnold let go just as quickly, his expression unreadable.

Neither of them said anything.

But someone else had seen.

Dalton had stepped outside the dining hall to light a cigarette when his gaze landed on them. He exhaled slowly,

watching the scene with mild curiosity.

Arnold and Sarah... they barely spoke, yet there was something about them.

The coldness in their demeanor wasn't just indifference-it was the kind of distance that niy cafter

The next morning, the tension of the previous night faded as Sara and Learned a the studio. She was ready to

immerse herself in work, but the moment the stepped inside, the stopped stor

The office had been transformed.

Pine branches draped over doorways, their scent mingling with the rich aroma of food. Handcrafted wolf-shadow

lanterns hung from the ceiling, casting intricate silhouettes along the walk. The long communal table was laden

with festive dishes-wild gstew, snowy mountain berry wine, and traditional pastries.

Sarah blinked in surprise. “Wow, that looks quiet an artistic work in there”

Beside her, Leo froze for a moment before realization dawned on his face. The Frostwolf Celebration is

here? So soon?”

Sarah nodded slowly. She had lost track of the days, but of course, winter was at its peak.

The **Frostwolf Celebration** was the most sacred festival among the wolves. Long ago, it marked the transition

from winter's harsh survival to the promise of spring. It was a tof renewal, a tribute to the moon, nature, and

the enduring strength of the pack

Looking around, she could see the joy in everyone's faces. People laughed, exchanged stories, and prepared for

the night's Moonlit Rite.

A warmth spread in her chest.

For a little while, she allowed herself to be swept up in the celebration, momentarily pushing aside the thoughts

that usually pressed at the back of her mind.

As the workday ended and the office celebration cto a close, Sarah stepped out onto the street.

The city was alive with the festival's energy. Lanterns lined the pathways, their glow casting soft golden hues

over the snow-dusted ground. Musicians played lively tunes, children ran ahea and laughter echoed through the

Laughter and music filled the night, blending with the rhythmic beat of drums that echoed through the heart of

the festival Street performers dressed in traditional wolf-patterned cloaks danced in elegant, fluid movements,

reenacting ancient tales of the moon’s blessings upon their kind.

Children, their cheeks flushed from the cold, ran through the crowds, holding small wooden carvings of wolves

for good luck.

But despite the festivity around her, Sarah felt alone.

Everyone was with someone-friends, family, lovers. People walked arm in arm, smiling, their faces illuminated by

the glow of the festival lights.

And she?

She had no one waiting for her.

Once, a long tago, **Alex** had loved the holidays. He had been the one pulling her into celebrations,

making her feel included. And she had played along, using every trick to make the festivities special for

him.

But now...

Now, he had moved on.

Sarah wrapped her coat tighter around herself, forcing away the melancholy creeping into her thoughts.

Just as she was about to turn away from the main festival street, a voice called out.

“Sarah?”

She turned, surprised.

Cole.

He was standing a few feet away, holding onto Abby's small hand.

The little girl's face lit up the moment she saw her. “Sarah!”
