A Scene Worth Remembering in I broke the bond after 13 years

One stretch of I broke the bond after 13 years carries more of the series than a longer recap would.

After I poured thirteen agonizing years into saving a cold-blooded wolf who secretly despised me for my cousin, I permanently severed our bond and walked away. Now, as I stand cherished and fiercely protected by my devoted fox mate, my former wolf is crawling on his knees for a second chance—but his pathetic remorse is thirteen years too late.

That is the spine of I broke the bond after 13 years: the people in the synopsis do not get to pretend the story started somewhere else.
