Novel & Cerita My Mate Replaced Me On Marking Ceremony

I didn't realize when my lips instantly got numb and I went blank for a while, staring into blank space. "Son? What's the matter with you?" He quizzed, peeking through my face. "Dad, I heard you say something about the mate-marking ceremony." "Yes, I did. How about that?" "What does the ceremony imply?" He burst out in laughter almost immediately and held my hands firmly. "Son, I still find it hard to believe that you don't know some of these things by now. You'll be crowned in a matter of hours and yet, you don't know what the mate marking ceremony means? Well, in that case, I will tell you what it is; you surely need a lot of mentoring."

Liam adds on, pressing a kiss to the top of my head. “Although the mate bond clicking into place terrified me, I knew choosing Liam was the right decision because he has been nothing but my rock, my greatest safe place. I need him as much as he needs me.” I add, leaning into Liam’s side and smiling softly. June just stares at me for a moment, eyes wide in disbelief, before her lips split into a wide grin. “So when is the marking ceremony?” She asks, and my smile widens. “Tonight.” I answer, looking up at Liam.

“Look, there’s actually something I need to talk to you about. It’s about the marking ceremony. I think we should postpone it.” The marking ceremony was supposed to happen in three days, the official ritual that would bind us as mates and establish me as the future Luna of the pack. We’d been planning it for months, and I’d been looking forward to it as the one thing in my life that would finally be mine and mine alone.

Harper “What are you doing?” I whispered, audibly enough for him to hear but to not get carried by the microphone. “Be quiet.” He replied firmly. “The marking ceremony is the one that’ll be grand and the date will be communicated in due time.” He exhaled. “For now please give us your good wishes.” And with that he took a step back, pulling me closer while the crowd erupted in cheers. We got back to our seats and I had completely lost my patience, I could no longer hold my tongue. “What did you mean by that? We clearly stated that the no mate bond or mark was a part of contract clause.” I fumed.

Just before our mating ceremony, my fated mate, Keane Blackwood, told me out of nowhere that he had to mark his widowed sister-in-law, Elara, first. He needed a pureblood heir. And I was a half-blood werewolf. "Talise, Elara is the best choice. Don't worry. This is purely political. You're the only one I love. "It's only for a year. Wait for me." His warm palm cupped my cheek, and he looked at me with the same love I'd always seen in his eyes. I believed him. But the very next day, news broke that Elara was pregnant. Three months along. They'd been sneaking around behind my back for a long time. "Why did you hide it from me?" I ran to confront him, my eyes red and my lips trembling. "It's al

She deserved peace after everything she'd endured. "There's more, isn't there?" Knight asked, catching something unspoken in his father's expression. The Alpha sighed. "Yes. The marking ceremony will be... complicated. Traditionally, a mate marking is intimate and private. But with six mates..." He trailed off, letting them fill in the implications themselves. Heat crept up Knight's neck as he understood what his father was delicately trying to explain. Six different mate marks? The thought seemed overwhelming, even to him. "We'll figure it out," Raymond stated firmly from where he stood by the door. "One step at a time."

The marking ceremony between Lucas and me took place in the spring of the following year, in the North. As we had promised in our youth, Sophia was my only ceremony attendant. I didn't notify any relatives or friends from the Silvermoon pack, but somehow, the news still got out. On the day of the ceremony, my father and Ethan actually showed up. Lucas came to my dressing room to ask me what I wanted to do about them. The makeup artist was working on me. When I instinctively looked up, I caught my reflection in the mirror, as well as my future mate's.

Avril's POV My marking ceremony with Marcus took place the following spring. Heather was my only bridesmaid, just as we promised back when we were still in college. I didn't inform any of my friends or relatives in Northpine Woods about my marking ceremony, but somehow, the news got out. Dad and Eric both arrived on the day of the ceremony. The makeup artist was putting my makeup on when they came, and Marcus came in to ask my opinion about them attending. I looked up instinctively and caught sight of myself and my to-be mate in the mirror.

They even decided on the marking ceremony's date. But on the day of the marking ceremony, this perfect dream came to an abrupt end. At the grandest marking ceremony ever, his mate-to-be never showed up.

That night, Damien sent a message: "Vivienne's still going to stand in for you at the ceremony. Your attack on her looks bad, so the apology was just for show. Don't overthink it. The elders were just upset - I'll make them apologize after everything's done." "Rest well. I have a surprise coming for the ceremony. You'll love it, I promise." But I understood now. The performance wasn't for Vivienne's benefit. It had all been for me. He'd played the devoted mate for five years. Now it was time for the final act. I stayed away from the manor for the next two days. Damien didn't return either. He was too busy preparing for the blood oath ceremony. Insisting on overseeing every detail personally.
