All Chapters of The Forbidden Second Marriage. : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Drake's eyes fixed on the documents before turning icily to Elena. Immediately Elena said the words,“ end the mate bond”, Drake felt a little sharp pain within him. He wasn't expecting Elena to be the one to announce it and it seems that he felt their connection was being stripped away, leaving only absence behind. Elena lifted the cup of her wine glass and her eyes were still locked on Drake's eyes, while she allowed the drink to run slowly down her throat along with her unshed tears. Her hand trembled ever so slightly. "Happy 26th birthday, Drake Hamilton,” she remarked. She then dropped the glass cup down on a nearby tray and added, “I’ve informed the police about the drugging incident,” Elena said softly, while still looking straight at Drake. “I'm sure that they wouldn't waste much time unveiling the culprit behind this mess. “Regarding the stunt that you pulled out today, I'm expecting a public apology from you." Gasping murmurs spread among the assembled pack members.

Elena glanced upward, locking eyes with Dolphus's stare. Eight years ago, Dolphus arrived in Glendale from Atlanta. He located her, pursued her and presented a proposal. If she were ready to part with Drake, he would set up for her to study overseas. Despite being her uncle, he felt it was his duty to look after her. However, Elena had declined his request. At that time, she was profoundly caught in the fantasy of love with Drake. Dolphus was the only member of the Farrington family ready to assist her. Others had turned her away, unable to accept the offspring of a traitorous wolf. The Hamilton family adopted her solely to gain the favor of the Farringtons, the family in power. Her emotions for Drake became more intense as time passed. However, Drake was the only heir of the beta of Crescent Moon Pack. His parents would never accept their relationship. But after the accident, Drake moved on with his life. He started another relationship with Cassandra. And Elena on the other h

Drake remained there, motionless. He gazed at Elena’s innocent little face. His wolf snarled softly, prompting him to stop her and speak up, whatever it might be. But he uttered nothing. “Goodbye.” Elena’s voice trembled, but she forced herself to meet his golden eyes. She turned. Goodbye to her youth. Farewell, Drake. Her fragrance remained in the atmosphere. It gripped Drake’s awareness like a test he couldn’t ignore. Drake faltered, steadying himself with a firm hand to his side. Ezra remained several steps away. He watched his Beta crumble silently. “Never did I believe you two would carry it this far.” He spoke under his breath. Drake said nothing. He kept his eyes locked on Elena’s retreating figure, watching until it slipped beyond view. Elena sat frozen inside the taxi. Emotion drained from her face, her stare pinned to the divorce papers fluttering between unsteady fingers. The movement of the bus and the hum of conversation slipped past her unnoticed. Deep inside

Their second meeting happened under the full moon. Dolphus was sixteen then. His wolf had already awakened. Elena was only eleven and her scent was still untouched by the shift. Yet that night, she bled for the pack. Elena had thrown herself forward, shielded Drake from the attack, and took two blade strikes meant for him. The silver sliced through her skin, yet she didn’t say a word. Blood wept from her wounds, yet she held her ground. Dolphus recalled the way she swayed, panting softly. He felt his wolf lurch forward, desperate to ease her suffering, but her eyes warned him away. He had said then, “If you let me, my family can protect you. We can arrange a different life for you.” Her reply was cold. “Those who are unwanted should keep a distance and walk their own path. That way, they won’t expect too much.” She added, “Dolphus, you and your family should stay out of my business.” That was the moment Dolphus Farrington, the future Gamma of Crescent Moon Pack released the resis

Lucian continued speaking. "Drake, Elena’s heart has been filled with evil. She even attempted to seduce you by drugging you, hoping to break you and my sister's relationship. Ezra and Maya helped Elena plan this act. Because of this, my sister holds a grudge against you. She was even thinking about leaving the country." Lucian leaned back slightly, but his words cut deeper than any claw. "Drake, wasn’t it you who revealed Elena’s intimate pictures on that day? You threatened my sister that if she dared to leave, you would make Elena’s life unbearable. Otherwise, we would be scouring the world for my sister now." A cold night breeze swept through the air. It danced with Elena’s long hair, scattering it over her face. Her hair veiled her eyes like the mist of a full-moon hunt. Her emotions hid behind the strands, hard to read. Her fingers curled tight around her cell phone. Her heart burned inside her chest. So, on Drake's birthday, Drake had exposed her private pictures before th
