During the exchange of tokens in the Marking Ceremony, I presented the wolf tooth ring I had carved myself, as a witness to our marking. But my Alpha mate, Frendo, remained completely indifferent, not releasing any marking aura, as though he had entirely forgotten that today was the day of our spiritual bonding ceremony. At that moment, Lily updated her Instagram, saying she would be returning to the Sliver Lake Pack in an hour. The air immediately filled with the restless scent of wolves, and before I could react, my Beta brother, George, stepped onto the ceremony stage and emotionlessly announced, "The Marking Ceremony is canceled." Frendo and George, in perfect synchronization, turned and left the altar together, leaving me standing alone, under the watchful eyes of all the Pack members. They wanted to see how a one-person marking ceremony would proceed. It wasn’t until I held back my inner frustration and awkwardly finished the ceremony with some semblance of dignity that I opened Lily’s Instagram. In her latest photo, George and Frendo were both surrounding her, releasing intimate signals. One was holding a silver moon festival gift box, while the other offered her a moonlight rose, her favorite. I bitterly smiled and wiped away the tears from my eyes before calling the one family that truly mattered, my flesh and blood. "Dad, Mom. I want to go home."

Betrayal at the Marking Ceremony Chapter 10
Inside the crystal ball Layne had thrown at George and Frendo were all the pieces of evidence exposing Lily's lies.Surrounded by a swirl of purple mist, the images clearly showed Lily faking Wolfsbane poisoning, setting up the silver mine trap to drag me in, and even provoking me while she was clad in seductive pajamas.It was only then that George and Frendo finally realized that the one who had been jealous all along was not me.It was Lily."That wasn't me! It was Lena! Lena's jealous of how much you loved me! She made up these images to trick you into pitying her!" Lily screamed desperately."You're still trying to frame her?!" Frendo looked at Lily's shrieking face and only felt disgust rising in him. "If she didn't want to come back, if she didn't want me or George anymore, what would she even be jealous of?"Because of this cruel woman, he had lost the mate he had loved and protected since childhood.George, acting decisively, banished Lily from the Sliver Lake Pack.Af

Ryan suddenly stood up, raised his hand high, and charged onto the stage to confront Frendo. "A true mate would never care about a single scar, a wound, or a past that was never your fault to begin with. So, I'm willing."When he turned to look at me, he blushed slightly and lowered his hand awkwardly. "Of course... only if Lena is willing."I thought…If only this had been his pickup line earlier, it would have been perfect.In that instant, many of the single male wolves in the audience also stood up one after another, declaring that they were willing too.Layne, still shielding me protectively, could not help but raise his hand and give his best friend a big, proud bump.He strode over to stand before the completely defeated Frendo, wearing an expression more smug than I had ever seen."My sister has always been the princess of the Black family. She doesn't need the so-called love of some tiny pack. And you? My sister doesn't pick up trash."He scooped me up into his arms, r

In just a blink, my parents, closely watching my emotions, led me to the host's seat.Frendo looked utterly stunned, his face even paler than paper."That girl… she looks just like Lena! Could it be...""No way! She's the Black family's youngest daughter!"George shook his head furiously, as if trying to convince himself."Lena only has me! I'm Lena's only family!"When the banquet officially began, surrounded by my proud parents and brother, I stepped up onto the high platform.My father, beaming with pride, began introducing my name and identity."She's not!""I don't agree!"Before he could finish, George and Frendo shouted out from below, their voices echoing through the hall.Every gaze turned toward them.My parents' expressions immediately darkened.Although I had not spoken much about my past grievances, my attentive parents easily uncovered everything that had happened to me at the Sliver Lake Pack, including what led to my foot injury.They had held back their a

Of course, I did not wear that puffy pink dress to my banquet.Mom spent hours with me, helping me pick out the gown that suited me best. She even adorned my neck and wrists with heirloom jewelry from the Black family.Satisfied with the final look, she took my hand and led me to where Dad and Layne, already dressed in their formalwear, were waiting.The moment they saw me, both of them froze, speechless by how I looked."Oh, sweetheart. You'll be the only moon shining at tonight's banquet," praised Dad warmly, his voice filled with pride.Layne, snapping out of his daze, then grumbled about his best friend's sense of fashion.Before the banquet officially began, I also met my brother's legendary 'pink-loving' friend, Ryan.The very first time he laid eyes on me, the young and handsome werewolf seemed like he had been struck by lightning, standing there utterly frozen."I… I'm sorry... When your brother, that big lug, told me you were bullied, he got so worked up that his eyes

Before leaving the Sliver Lake Pack, there was only one person I wanted to see.After saying goodbye to her, I would be able to leave without any regrets."Mom, I'm leaving the pack. I'm sorry I couldn't become George's mate."At the mountaintop cemetery, I brushed the dust off the tombstone and

George and Frendo shielded Lily defensively as if afraid I might say something that would hurt her.I looked at Lily's smug expression. It was exactly the same as it had been a year ago.She had actually lived with us once before. Back then, she said she was all alone and begged us to let her stay

When my parents learned that I was coming home, they sounded genuinely surprised and delighted.Because I had been so firm in my refusal before, they asked me again over the phone, "Lena, have you really made up your mind?"The ceremony hall was empty. I was the only one left.I wiped away my tea
