All Chapters of Alpha Mate Chose Half-sister, I Changed Groom: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I made up some excuse and left that suffocating room.The laughter and conversations behind me were cut off the moment the door closed, leaving only the cold, hollow echo of the hallway.Outside the club, the midnight wind hit my face with a chill.I stood silently by the roadside waiting for my car, my thoughts drifting back to ten years ago.When I was fifteen, my mother accidentally discovered that my father had another family on the side, complete with an illegitimate daughter my age.The news destroyed my mother instantly. Her wolf couldn't bear the betrayal of its mate and disappeared. She collapsed and fell ill.Before I could even process the sudden implosion of my family, a woman named Rebecca brought Selene into our home, brazenly tearing apart every bit of stability I'd once had.I met Ethan Stormwind during that darkest, most desperate period of my life.He was the notorious troublemaker at school, rebellious and fearless.Yet this same person was willing to awkwardly hand

I took a deep breath outside the pack office building before pushing the door open.This pack had once been all of mine and Ethan's blood, sweat, and dreams.Back then, though he was the young heir of the Stormwind pack, he stubbornly insisted on carving out his own territory.The Stormwind family rules were strict. Without proving yourself, you received no support whatsoever.Those early days were unimaginably difficult.The funds dried up, we couldn't pay salaries, enemies surrounded us on all sides.To help him through that crisis, I picked up my paintbrush and painted day and night.One painting after another, selling them to galleries, to anyone willing to pay, using that meager income to barely keep the pack afloat.The massive painting at the pack office entrance, "Daybreak," was the first painting I ever sold.My technique was still immature back then, but it was full of reckless determination.After the pack's situation improved, the first thing Ethan did was track down that b

Selene showed no care at all, her sharp nails catching on the lace, her rough movements even tearing off several small diamonds sewn to the cuff."What are you doing! Stop!"My heart clenched instantly, fury rushing to my head. Without thinking, I stepped forward and shoved her away hard."This isn't something you can touch! My mother designed this! You're not worthy!"Selene stumbled from my push, staggering back two steps, her eyes immediately reddening.She sniffled, her voice trembling as she looked toward Ethan behind me."Ethan, I've just never seen such a beautiful wedding gown before. I couldn't help myself. Is Aria misunderstanding something?"She turned her gaze timidly toward me, then quickly lowered it, as if terrified."Aria, did Ethan prepare this gown for you? Are you two getting married? If so, just tell me. I'll definitely prepare a wedding gift early and sincerely bless you both."Ethan looked somewhat guilty, unusually speaking to her coldly."Aria is my future Luna.

"Ethan, let me say a few more words to Aria, okay? Maybe I can talk some sense into her. I'm a bit worried about her being alone in there."Ethan's steps paused. He glanced at me coldly.As if waiting for me to soften and beg for mercy.But I just stood straight in the center of the dim warehouse, silently meeting his gaze.My silence and stubbornness completely enraged him."Whatever! If you want to talk to her, go ahead. Look at her attitude—she doesn't know what's good for her!"With that, he irritably shook off his hand and strode away to deal with the aftermath outside.But then Ethan's guards returned. "Sorry, Miss Aria. Alpha said that in order to prevent you from hurting Miss Selene again, we need to tie you up with silver chains."The silver seared into my skin instantly, the burning pain making me cry out.I felt my wolf being suppressed, pushed down, rendered completely powerless.The silver burned deeper, leaving angry red marks across my wrists and arms.All my werewolf st

If he really had other intentions toward Selene, why would he have agreed to my confession in the first place?To Ethan, his girlfriend, his future mate, the person he'd determined to spend his life with—it had always been only me, Aria Greenwood.As for Selene, she was just someone who happened to need his help at a crossroads in his long life. A temporary responsibility. Once they passed this difficult point, once she got back on her feet, I'd still be the one by his side in the end.That's how it was supposed to work. That's how it had always worked before.With this thought, that inexplicable panic subsided somewhat.He even began considering how to ease our relationship. With a hint of asking for advice, he turned to Selene."When you women get angry, how should we usually placate you? What works?"Selene's hands, hidden in the sleeves of his hoodie, instantly clenched into fists. Her nails nearly dug into her flesh, leaving crescent marks on her palms. Inside, she was mad with je
