"I do!" Laura uttered with full sincerity and joy.

Unlike the Alpha King, who was only doing it for the sake of his kingdom and the future of his child.

​​

"I pronounce you both … husband and wife!"

…

Cheers and rejoice echoed all over the hall of the throne room.

Except for the inner circle and royal siblings of the Alpha King.

Because they know the struggle of King Alcyd.

And where his heart truly belongs.

"Smile wouldn't be too difficult to do." Laura whispered.

"I already agreed to marry you … do not push it too further." King Alcyd retorted.

Feeling more hurt than ever.

Containing the pain from the coldness of King Alcyd.

Laura thought to herself.

'I don't care how much it takes … I will never let you go! You will love me, one way or another!'

Looking at her new husband.

If Laura was filled with bliss and sense of victory.

It was total opposite with King Alcyd.

Even during their exchange of vows were complete opposite.

King Alcyd sounded hollow and his expression was defeated.

Compared to Laura, her speech was long and heart-felt.

Full of conviction.

Unfortunately for Laura, her feelings were not reciprocated by the Alpha King.

A one sided love affair.

…

Moments after the official wedding.

Everyone was invited for a wedding dinner.

Prepared by the members of the Jade Pack.

Since no one from the Golden Moon Pack would want to volunteer in any preparation of the wedding and its celebration.

For them, it was not a joyous occasion that deserves any of their efforts.

It was indeed a sad day for everyone in the Golden Moon Pack.

Knowing their Alpha King would be married to someone else, aside from their Luna.

Right behind the Alpha King was his elite warriors.

They could all sense the burden and sadness of their Alpha.

While the royal siblings of the Alpha King were seated near the front table where the newlyweds were designated.

"I am happy for both of you. Patching things up for any misunderstanding …that occurred." Prince Alarick conveyed his satisfaction at the sight of Prince Ranku and Alpha Marcus being together again.

Alpha Marcus smiled at his mate.

Grateful for the second chance given to him by the royal prince.

"Thanks to Ivan, he allowed me to see things differently … in a better light. Unlike someone triggered me to do stupid things. Instead of allowing me to be mature and understanding regarding certain issues." Prince Ranku gave a snide and indirect comment pertaining to his older sister.

"Excuse me! Are you referring to me?" Princess Shiveena was offended from the tone of the words chosen by her youngest brother.

She continued, "I was only stating the fact presented in front of me. The same with you, I was not told regarding the real intentions of your mate. If only I was also briefed regarding his plans and intentions, then maybe … I could have acted properly."

"Why are you so defensive? Did I mention your name?" Prince Ranku jeered at Princess Shiveena.

Tension was starting to rise between the two.

"Will you both stop it? It is not the right time for both of you to act immaturely. The two of you are old enough already to know how to behave in such a manner." Prince Alarick reprimanded his two siblings.

Prince Ivan used his ability to calm the situation.

At the same time, he tried to divert the focus on something else.

"Any updates on the mission of Lucas? And where is your mate? I do not see Chloe around." Prince Ivan stated the obvious.

"She is looking after Susan."

"Why? Did something happen to Susan?"

"Yes … Magdeline won't say what happened. Only an excuse of accident while trying to concoct a dangerous experiment. But I could sense there is more to it. After this event, I would investigate regarding the sudden injury of Susan."

"Well, that's really odd and suspicious. All of a sudden … By the way, who is guarding the mate of Lucas?" Prince Ivan issued another query.

"I assigned royal guards and Jane to give the woman some security and company." Princess Shiveena elaborated to the prince.

In the middle of the discussion.

Before Alpha Alister from the Jade Pack could propose some toast for his eldest sister.

A commotion took place by the entrance of the dining hall.

When everyone expected that the wedding dinner would be peaceful as they thought it would be.

An entrance of an uninvited guest grabbed the attention of everyone.

"Why am I not invited in this momentous occasion of the Alpha King? Who happens to be my mate?" Selene appeared with Freddie and Lucas behind her.

A deafening reaction echoed within the dining hall.

King Alcyd jumped from his seat at the return of the woman he loves.

The longing for her touch and her scent.

Laura tried to hold his hand but King Alcyd brushed it off without any hesitation.

Only one soul mattered to King Alcyd at that time …

No other than Selene!

Literally, everyone … was shocked at the arrival of Selene.

Including the royal siblings of the Alpha King.

From that point on … Laura knew the difference between her and Selene.

Alpha Alister and Amber could see their eldest sister in the verge of her tears.

A complete humiliation and defeat.

Caused by the shocking appearance of Selene.

"Where are you going? You are already married to my sister!" Alpha Alister blocked the path of King Alcyd.

"Are you asking for a death wish?" King Alcyd growled in anger.

His eyes turned beastly and gleamed brightly from its anger.

Not only Selene has returned.

'Should we kill this bastard?' a familiar voice in his head that has been absent for a long time.

'Kratos?'
