I Changed My Mate on Mating Ceremony

My fiancé's ex showed up at our mating ceremony with a child in tow, interrupting everything. My fiancé chose to abandon me and mark his ex instead. But when he found out I bonded with my Alpha childhood friend, he completely lost it.I'm the chief healer of Silvermoon Pack, earning a hundred thousand dollars every month. My fiancé Marcus is just an ordinary warrior whose salary barely reaches a thousand. Not only do I cover most of our living expenses—the house, car, and daily costs—I also help support Marcus's retired parents. But thinking we were about to become mates, I didn't mind any of these sacrifices.Then at our mating ceremony, a brown-haired little boy suddenly stumbled in, disrupting the entire ritual. He grabbed onto Marcus's leg and called out in his sweet child voice: "Daddy!"I thought it was some kind of scam. But when Marcus saw the child's mother, his face went pale. Then he showed an expression I'd never seen before—pure adoration—as he scooped the boy into his arm

I arranged for the remaining guests to rest and announced that the mating ceremony would continue in an hour. Then I grabbed a bottle of wine and headed to the private lounge area to wait for Dominic.While waiting, I scrolled through social media and saw a trending headline: "Moonborn Pack Alpha, Next Alpha King Candidate, Abruptly Leaves Northern Territory Alliance Summit."My heart skipped a beat.Moonborn Pack? Alpha King? It couldn't be Dominic, could it?I clicked on the link and a video popped up.The footage showed a tall, imposing figure at the summit, hanging up his phone and turning to leave the conference room.Who else could that be but Dominic?I could even faintly hear his voice saying, "Suspend all contract negotiations!"After the video, there was a reporter interviewing the other pack leaders at the signing ceremony: "Does Mr. Dominic's departure from such an important alliance meeting mean this pack negotiation has failed?"The Northern Territory Pack Alpha shrugged

Then I turned off my phone and went to sleep.When I woke up, it was already bright daylight.I had breakfast and went to reclaim my house.I expected to see a clean, tidy house without those three disgusting pests.But when I opened the front door, I was shocked once again by their shamelessness.Colorful streamers were scattered everywhere. The child's birthday photos covered the walls. Serena was wearing my Chanel suit and my custom Graff jewelry set, mingling among the guests.Music blasted from the speakers, making my head pound.The house was full of strangers sitting and standing around—people I didn't recognize.They were dancing to the music, and everything in the room was in complete chaos.Even the books from my shelves and documents from my drawers had been randomly pulled out and thrown everywhere.The expensive decorative items in my house were being passed around carelessly. Some had already broken. My Hermès carpet was covered in stains.My wolf claws sliced through the

Thinking of this, I smiled at Marcus's mother. It wasn't a warm smile—it was the cold, calculated smile of someone who had finally seen through all the lies."Auntie, the past is the past, and now is now.""If I can't get a satisfactory answer today, I'll have no choice but to call the enforcement squad."My voice was steady and calm, but there was steel underneath. I was done being the weak, desperate girl who would do anything to keep their approval.I opened the door and walked out, my head held high.Marcus's mother followed behind me, her desperation quickly turning to vicious anger as she realized her manipulation tactics weren't working anymore.She hissed at me in a rage: "Aria, you'd better think about the consequences of what you're doing.""Plenty of people saw you acting like a homewrecker today. Everyone at this party witnessed you trying to break up a happy family."Her voice was getting shriller: "Whether it's true or not, your reputation is completely ruined now. The wh

The guards immediately got to work, starting to beat up Marcus and his crew.I watched with cold satisfaction as Dominic's elite guard wolves sprang into action. These weren't ordinary pack warriors—they were the Northern Territory's finest, trained killers who had fought in territorial wars.The guards instantly shifted into wolf form, their eyes blazing with murderous ferocity as they bared their fangs and lunged at Marcus's group. Their growls were deep and terrifying, the sound of predators who had tasted blood before.Marcus and the others hastily transformed to fight back, but it was pathetic to watch. They were soft city wolves who had never seen real combat.The guard wolves were well-trained and powerfully built, their muscles rippling under their thick coats. They moved with deadly precision, each strike calculated to cause maximum pain and humiliation.Within seconds, they had completely overpowered the birthday party guests.Marcus himself was pinned down by the largest gua
