All Chapters of The Jilted Luna : Chapter 481 - Chapter 485

The marking ceremony was the werewolf equivalent of a marriage, performed publicly so their people could witness, celebrate, and acknowledge the bond. For a male to mark his partner in front of everyone wasn’t just about tradition; it was a declaration. It showed pride, commitment, and the desire for the whole pack to know who he had chosen for the rest of his life. And for someone of Carlisle’s status, an Alpha, marking Victoria publicly meant even more. It was him proclaiming his sovereignty over her, offering his protection, his love, and everything he possessed. With the pack as witnesses, they would be expected to honor and respect her the same way they treated him. So if a she-wolf was marked outside of the ceremony, it carried the same sting as a hidden marriage in the human world.

After all, it didn’t matter who took the fall; the mission had already failed.Besides, Marcus believed their master wouldn’t easily kill Chase. With his Alpha bloodline, Chase was too valuable a pawn to dispose of so quickly. But Marcus? His usefulness had long since run out.Years of failed attempts to secure the princess had reduced him to nothing more than a source of information, only for that information to fail repeatedly. And now, he had to face the bitter truth that the Luna he had never taken seriously was the real princess all along.This mission was supposed to be Marcus’s redemption, a chance to prove his worth to their master

And the more he ignored her, the more she craved him. She wanted all of him, his body, his strength, his attention, his affection. She wanted him to fuck her as hard as he could, as if his life depended on it, until she felt claimed, until she felt like she mattered to him.But no matter how many signs she dropped, no matter how boldly she tried to entice him, Chase never reacted. He remained cold, unreadable, a block of stone that refused to warm under her touch.So now, she had no choice but to push further, to bare herself completely if that’s what it took to finally break through that wall of ice he kept between them.But more than that, Hannah knew Chase was still a virgin. Back then, when he finally found his fated mate, someone from his former pack, they had yet to mark or mate with each other.Everything was being prepared for their marking ceremony, a grand celebration where he would officially give her the title of Luna once he inherited his father’s position as Alpha.
