Chapter 10

Author: Tiptik
On the day of the bonding ceremony, many members from the Northwolf pack were present.

Soren wore a deep navy suit, with an emblem of the Northwolf pack pinned at his lapel. He stood under the lights of the banquet hall, looking extremely steady and calm.

He placed the arm cuff on my left arm himself. The surface pressed cool against my skin, and the runes flickered faintly under the lights before slowly dimming again.

Soren looked down at me, his eyes catching the light's reflection. "From t

  • Alpha's Wrong Mate: This Time I Step Aside   Chapter 11

    As soon as the car entered the Northwolf pack's territory, I lifted the shades and looked out.The deep blue sky here was filled with stars. It was much brighter and clearer than the sky over the Blackstone pack too.In the distance, snow-capped mountains glowed with a silver hue under the moonlight. The black shadows of the pine forests stretched and rolled along the mountain ridges, like the spine of the earth.I gently squeezed Soren's hand. That made him look over, and I grinned at him.Through the window, a breeze carrying the fresh scent of pine resin blew in and lifted the ends of my hair. Soren reached out and tucked the loose strands behind my ear, his grazing fingertips leaving a faint, ticklish sensation."Are you tired? We're almost there. You can rest well once we get home," he said softly. His fingertips lingered by my ear, emitting warmth.I shook my head and sank deeper into his embrace. "I'm not tired. I want to look at the stars here a little longer."He smiled

    On the day of the bonding ceremony, many members from the Northwolf pack were present.Soren wore a deep navy suit, with an emblem of the Northwolf pack pinned at his lapel. He stood under the lights of the banquet hall, looking extremely steady and calm.He placed the arm cuff on my left arm himself. The surface pressed cool against my skin, and the runes flickered faintly under the lights before slowly dimming again.Soren looked down at me, his eyes catching the light's reflection. "From this moment on, you are the Luna of the Northwolf pack. Anyone who lays a hand on you will answer to the entire pack."I met his gaze. Suddenly, I felt my nose sting.In my past life, no one had ever said anything like that when I got married. No one had ever stood by my side to protect me.Kyle had even refused to formally acknowledge my position as Luna before the pack, leaving me to be looked down on by every member in the Shadowfrost pack.But now, there was someone standing here, saying

    The bonding ceremony between Soren and me was set for half a month later.The union between the Northwolf pack and the Blackstone pack stirred up quite a stir in werewolf society.The Northwolf pack had always kept to itself and rarely interacted with other packs. And after Soren succeeded as Alpha, he kept an even lower profile.Now, all of a sudden, he was marrying the second daughter of the Blackstone pack's Alpha. It left many wondering the reason behind it. I paid none of that any mind.In the two weeks up to the date, I was busy every day—trying on wedding gowns, writing invitations, and coordinating the ceremony details with the Elder Council representatives who had come from the Northwolf pack.Soren came by almost every day. Sometimes he brought specialties from the northern region, like pastries and tea. Other times, he came empty-handed and simply sat in the manor's garden, quietly sipping tea while watching me try on dresses.Mother's attitude had completely changed

    I followed Selena out onto the balcony.As the evening began to deepen, the manor's warm golden lights flickered on one after another."Layla." Selena looked at the silhouettes of the distant mountains and spoke in a low voice. "Do… Do you really like that Alpha from the Northwolf pack?"I was silent for a moment. "Does it matter whether I like him or not? He saved my life. He's a good person."Selena turned to look at me. There was a hint of something unfathomable in her brown eyes."Just because of that?" she asked."Not entirely." I looked into her eyes and continued seriously, "He remembers the little things I like. He stands up for me in front of everyone. I think he'll be a good mate."Selena was briefly stunned, then her expression shifted, as if remembering something.She opened her mouth to speak, and in the end, all she said was, "That's good then."She started to walk away, then paused. With her back to me, she said in a muffled voice, "Layla… I actually know that

    Soren stayed for dinner. Father seated him at the guest seat, and my seat was temporarily moved next to his.Although Mother's expression was unpleasant, she didn't dare flare up in front of the Alpha of the Northwolf pack.Selena sat across the long table, with Kyle beside her. Throughout the entire meal, he barely lifted his head to look at me.On the other hand, Soren very naturally helped me with the dishes and asked about my dietary restrictions. He also talked with Father about trade routes and territorial divisions between the two packs. He spoke calmly and with clarity the entire time.Although Father had started with a tense look, he gradually relaxed his attitude as the conversation went on.It was only when Soren brought up the hunting ground at the border between the Northwolf and Shadowfrost packs that Kyle suddenly interjected coldly."That hunting ground is one that the Shadowfrost pack also has hunting rights to. Is the Northwolf pack thinking about taking over it

    Selena finally recovered from her shock. She walked closer, looked at Soren, then at me. There was a conflicted expression on her face as she asked, "Layla, when… When did you meet the Alpha of the Northwolf pack? Why have you never told me?"Mother had already picked the deed up off the floor. She clutched it in her hand, her knuckles white. Her eyes darted around, as if quickly weighing the pros and cons.The Northwolf pack was no less powerful than the Shadowfrost pack. In fact, they had larger territories and were even richer in resources.She was already immensely satisfied with an Alpha son-in-law from the Shadowfrost pack. And now, an Alpha from the Northwolf pack had appeared.However, she clearly trusted Kyle more. After all, he was someone she had watched grow up. She knew him inside and out.Meanwhile, Soren was a complete stranger, an outsider.Father, who had gone back into the house, came out again after hearing the commotion. With a livid expression, he said, "Th
