The Second Marking Ceremony의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 9

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

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

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

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

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.“
