Regret

Just before our fifth marking anniversary, I found out I was pregnant. I was about to share the good news with my Alpha mate, Ethan Hart, when I accidentally overheard something that shattered me. He was planning to hold a marking ceremony with another woman. It turned out that the grand marking ceremony he gave me five years ago was a lie. The mark he left on me wasn’t even real. It was just an ordinary bite. He had saved the real marking ceremony for someone else. Back then, I had gone against my parents’ wishes, left my home pack, and followed him to the Silver Moon Pack. I gave up everything for a marriage that ended up being a lie. My heart was crushed. If I was never his true, legal mate, what reason did I have to stay? It was time to give up the title of Luna and return to my true home. Ethan had no idea I was the only daughter of the Alpha King from the Dark Moon Pack. I had given up my birthright to be Alpha Female all for him. In a week’s time, the Dark Moon Pack would welcome their new leader.

Chapter 1
Five years after marrying the Alpha of his pack, Ethan Hart, I found out I was pregnant.I was thrilled and wanted to surprise Ethan with the news, so I secretly made my way to the Razor Fang Pack where he was supposedly away on business. Instead, I overheard a conversation between him and his friends.“Ethan, you’re using this business trip as a cover to get a mate certificate with Lyla Ziggler in Razor Fang Pack? And you’re planning a marking ceremony with her? But isn’t Madeline Foster your mate? You marked her years ago!”“You don’t know the full story. That mate certificate with Madeline only works within the Silver Moon Pack. It won’t show up in any other territory.”“Besides, Ethan never actually marked Madeline. That was just a regular bite mark. He's been waiting for Lyla. He wants to give her a grand marking ceremony.”“So what you’re saying is, Lyla is the one Ethan truly loves? She’s his real mate?”I froze. My entire body turned cold, and it felt as if all the blood

I wiped away my tears and retrieved my phone to send Ethan a message.[I'm in the shower. I’ll reply in a bit.]Inside the room, Ethan let out a heavy sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face.“Maddie, don’t forget to call me later. I get worried when I don’t hear from you for too long.”After reading that message, I finally burst into tears.He had always expressed his love for me so openly. I had never once doubted him.If I had, I never would’ve given everything up to follow him alone to the Silver Moon Pack.He had woven this tender love into a net of lies, and I was trapped right in the center of it.Footsteps drew closer from inside the room. I panicked and ducked into the stairwell.Ethan stepped out, walked across the hallway, and rang the doorbell to the room opposite his.Lyla walked out in a beautiful wedding gown. The moment she saw Ethan, she threw herself into his arms.“Ethan, do I look good in this? Should I wear it for the marking ceremony tomorrow?”Et

Ethan and Lyla leaned close to each other. They whispered as they slowly walked away.They didn’t notice me hiding behind the car. They were completely absorbed in the joy of having just received their mate certificate.Leaning against the car, I slowly slid to the ground. My hands rested on my lower abdomen as tears streamed down my face.'It's time to leave, isn't it?' I thought to myself.At that moment, a phone number appeared in my mind. It was one I had memorized so well over the years.I’d repeated it to myself hundreds of times but never had the courage to actually dial it.Today, with trembling fingers, I finally dialed the number.I thought it might ring endlessly and go unanswered, but it barely rang twice before someone picked up.“Dad, I miss you so much!”My tears trickled, and my voice cracked.“Silly girl, do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this call?”He sounded so much older. I didn’t need to see him to know he'd worried for me all these years.“Da

At the break of dawn, a group of werewolves arrived outside the villa to set up for the celebration.They lined the pathway with 999 astral blooms.In the center of the path, countless moonstones were arranged in a circle. Inside the ring were luxury jewelry pieces, designer clothes, and handbags.At the very top sat a small music box. It was playing a love song sung by Ethan himself.None of that held my attention.My eyes were fixed on the breaking news notification flashing across my phone screen.The news was reporting on a grand, extravagant marking ceremony taking place in Razor Fang Pack.The stage was built with 9,999 astral blooms. Pink balloons floated in the air. Each string was tied to a sparkling gemstone.The scene was breathtaking and romantic beyond words. Ethan, dressed in a sleek suit, walked down the red carpet hand-in-hand with Lyla in her luxurious gown.Heads turned at the sight of the stunning couple and lavish venue.On the stage, Ethan lowered his hea

Clang!With a loud crash, Ethan knocked over the ceremonial stage. His eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Ken by the collar and shouted furiously."Who took Maddie? What the hell happened?"The overwhelming force of an Alpha’s rage radiated from him, making everyone in the hall tremble with fear."I-I don’t know. They left the Silver Moon Pack right away and disappeared," Ken stammered. He was doing his best to stay composed under the pressure.Ethan shoved him aside and stormed out of the banquet hall."Ethan! The marking ceremony isn’t over yet–" Lyla called after him. Her face was pale as she went up against Ethan’s fury."The ceremony is over!"Ethan didn’t stop walking. He simply left those words behind.He jumped into his car and sped off, heading straight for his villa back in the Silver Moon Pack's territory.On the way back, he kept calling me, but every call went straight to voicemail. He realized my phone had already been turned off.A sense of panic like never bef

Chapter 6
I was brought back to the Dark Moon Pack. Everything here felt so familiar.I'd once lived here for eighteen years. Everything looked exactly the same as when I left.Charles was already standing at the entrance of the villa, waiting to welcome me home.In the five years since I last saw him, more gray hair had grown. His face had aged significantly too.Seeing him like this broke my heart. My eyes welled up with tears again.He smiled and opened his arms wide.“Welcome home, my dear daughter.”I rushed into his embrace, choking back sobs as I apologized over and over.“I’m sorry, Dad. I’ve been such a disappointment. I made you worry so much.”Charles didn’t ask me how I had been all these years. Instead, he just looked at me carefully with a hopeful gleam in his eyes.“Now that you’re back, will you leave again?”I wiped my tears away and smiled at him.“No, I’m not leaving again. I’m staying in the Dark Moon Pack for good.”As I spoke, I gently touched my lower abdomen.

Chapter 7
News of the leadership change in the Dark Moon Pack spread like wildfire throughout the werewolf kingdom.“I heard the new Alpha is a woman. She's the only daughter of the Alpha King.”“Apparently, the succession ceremony is going to be huge. Alphas from all the major packs have been invited.”Ethan didn’t care about any of the gossip from other packs. All he could think about was finding me.He knew nothing about my background.All he remembered was how much my family had opposed us being together, and how I, without hesitation, left my home and followed him to the Silver Moon Pack.I had once told him, “Ethan, I’ve already cut ties with my father. You’re the only family I have now.”He believed it. He truly thought he was all I had. If that's the case, why did I vanish without a single trace after leaving him?Ethan clutched his head in agony.Ever since I left, he had been plagued by unbearable headaches, especially at night. It was a deep, soul-searing pain that kept him a

My succession ceremony was right on schedule.Ethan hadn’t originally planned to attend, but he suddenly recalled that he first met me in the Dark Moon Pack.At such a grand occasion, he thought maybe he’d see me again. He could at least try to find out something about me.So, despite his physical discomfort, he forced himself to come to the Dark Moon Pack.Ken accompanied him, chatting enthusiastically along the way.“I heard the new Alpha Female of the Dark Moon Pack is stunning! And she doesn’t have a mate. Alphas from all over are lining up to court her.“Oh, and rumor has it she even has a son! But she’s supposed to be unmated, right? Isn’t that strange?”Ethan cut him off impatiently.“I have no interest in the Alpha Female of the Dark Moon Pack. Your job is to help me find Madeline. I don’t need updates on anyone else.”Ken opened his mouth but said nothing.He had been meaning to mention that the new Alpha Female’s name was also Madeline, but maybe it was just a coinc

Chapter 9
Struggling desperately on the ground, Ethan tried to explain himself.“No, I'm your Alpha Female’s mate! Let me go!”He looked up with eyes full of pain and vulnerability.“Maddie, what do I have to do for you to forgive me?”I looked down at him with an indifferent expression.“I will never forgive you. From the moment you decided to wait for Lyla to graduate and then hold a marking ceremony with her, we were destined to end up like this.”This shattered him. He was dragged out of the hall.Under Charles' concerned gaze, I smiled calmly and stood before everyone to announce the severance of our ties with the Silver Moon pack.“From this day forward, the Dark Moon Pack will cut all ties with the Silver Moon Pack. There will be no more cooperation between us, ever.”The Silver Moon Pack was never as powerful as us. They had always been a lesser pack, surviving in part by relying on us.The news shocked the Silver Moon Pack.When Hector found out, he beat Ethan mercilessly.“
