I Was His True Fated Mate

Everyone in the northern territory knew that Damien Malfoy endured brutal punishment every year just for a chance to marry Vivian Locke.The traditions of the Dark Moon Pack required the Alpha to draw a fortune stick at the Moon Goddess Shrine to determine his true fated mate.Yet for three consecutive years, Damien drew fortune sticks that claimed Vivian was not his fated mate.The first year, he knelt for three days until he collapsed and was sent to the healer's den for treatment.The second year, he endured ninety-nine lashes until his skin tore apart.The third year, he knelt in the freezing wilderness despite running a high fever. He nearly lost his legs and might never shift into his werewolf form again.By the fourth year, Vivian decided that if he drew a bad stick again, she would kneel beside him and beg the Moon Goddess to make an exception.When she arrived at the Moon Goddess Shrine in a hurry, Damien had just drawn his stick.From outside, she clearly saw the stic

"I'll be busy for the next few days. Let the healer take care of you," Vivian said. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would suffocate.Ignoring the disappointment in Damien's eyes, she hurriedly left.When she got home, she began clearing out everything related to Damien.There was a doll from when she was three, a clay sculpture from when she was nine, a love letter from when she was sixteen, and a matching pair of wolf fang necklaces from when they were eighteen. She threw them all away.Over the next few days, she only gave brief, perfunctory replies to the mind links Damien sent her.One day, after completing the paperwork to get discharged, Damien reached out again."Vivian, I'm being discharged today. I've prepared a surprise for you."She told him her location.After more than twenty years together, it was time for a proper ending.Damien covered her eyes and brought her to the restaurant where he had confessed to her at sixteen.At the entrance, there

Meanwhile, Damien took Denise to the healer's den to treat her injured ankle.One of his friends happened to be there and pulled him into the hallway. "What exactly are you thinking? Who do you love? Vivian or Denise?""Vivian, of course," Damien answered without hesitation. "It's just, all these years, I've been the one chasing after her. It gets tiring."But Denise is different. Her eyes are always on me. After all this time, I can't help but feel some sympathy for her. I don't want her to leave. I want to protect her."His friend sighed. "What if Vivian gets angry? Have you thought about how you're going to make it up to her?"Damien paused for a moment. He answered stiffly, "Vivian will understand that Denise is injured. As Alpha, I can't ignore the safety of my pack members."Seeing he couldn't persuade him, his friend changed the subject. "By the way, have you heard? The Alpha of the southern Black Rock Pack, Keith, is holding his marking ceremony. Even I received an invita

Damien's eyes were bloodshot. His gaze locked onto the mark on Vivian's neck."H-Have you and Keith become mates?"Vivian frowned a little. Her eyes were full of indifference as she looked at him. "Yes. As you can see."Beside her, Keith naturally wrapped an arm around her waist and declared his claim. "Hello. I'm Vivian's mate."He deliberately emphasized the word 'mate,' and Vivian felt her ears heat up.Damien took in their interaction. He clenched his jaw to suppress the rage inside him.He forced a smile. "Vivian, stop being upset with me, okay? I'm your fated mate. End things with him right now. I'll take you back to the north, and we'll hold the marking ceremony immediately."With that, he reached out to grab her.Keith's expression darkened. He pulled Vivian behind him. "Damien, Vivian and I are now legally bonded mates. If you continue harassing my mate, I won't hesitate to have you thrown out of the southern territory."The word 'mate' completely ignited Damien's ang

A sobbing voice called out from behind. "Damien!"Denise ran toward him and tried to pull him up from the ground. "You saw it just now! Vivian is clearly a fickle shewolf! She's already abandoned you for another werewolf. Only I will keep loving you!"Come back to the north with me, okay? I'll stay by your side forever. I'll never–""Shut up!" Damien cut her off. His eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was filled with icy fury. "I won't allow you to slander Vivian like that. She's not fickle. I'm the one who hurt her!"He flung her hand away. Denise staggered back and nearly fell.She stared at him in disbelief. "How can you still not let her go? She doesn't even love you anymore!"I've been following you all these years because I care about you. Can't you just turn around and look at me for once?"At this point, Damien felt nothing but disgust toward her. "I told you, I only pitied you. From today on, you're exiled from the pack. Don't ever appear in front of me again. I already
