Moonlit Betrayal: Kiss of My Knight
Chapter 3
Ella suddenly let out a whimper, sounding like an injured pup. "Ethan, don't fight with Ivy because of me. It's okay. She has every right to be angry with me…"
Ella cried softly, acting as if she had been wronged in the worst way. The sight stirred the overflowing protective instincts within Ethan.
His gaze upon me finally froze over completely as he said, "You're jealous that my wolf chose Ella, jealous that I treat her well, and jealous that all the pack members adore her.
"Ivy, you've changed. Now, your heart has been twisted by jealousy, just like those depraved Rogues."
After he said this, he turned and left, carrying Ella. He left behind a room mixed with the scent of his angry pheromones.
I watched their retreating figures and suddenly realized my tears had dried up at some point.
I suppose that was a good thing. These past days, I had cried many times because of the mate bond that was about to break.
From now on, I wouldn't feel sad over him or shed a single tear anymore.
…
That evening, our group chat for the younger members of several families within the pack—"Wolf Den"—suddenly became lively.
Ethan had posted a message in the group, saying, "I suddenly feel like completing the marking ceremony. What should I do?"
The group instantly erupted into a commotion.
"Ethan, are you finally going to officially become mates with Ivy under the Moon Goddess's witness?"
"Time to start calling her the Luna, right?"
People in the group started tagging me one after another.
"Congratulations, Ivy! Why not treat us to some moonlight wine?"
"Ethan, when is your and Ivy's grand marking ceremony?"
The group chat was chaotic, with many messages starting to flood the screen.
I was just about to post a message to clarify that I wasn't the future Luna, and that the one Ethan wanted to mark wasn't me.
However, Ethan beat me to it.
"You've all got it wrong. I never said the mate my wolf chose was Ivy."
After saying that, he added Ella to the group. Then he tagged everyone and said, "Take a good look. This is the future Luna of the Silvermoon pack."
The clamoring group chat suddenly fell silent, as if an Alpha had cast a silencing command.
For a long while, no one spoke.
That was when Ethan sent another message.
"Why is everyone silent? Greet your future Luna. That's an Alpha's order."
The people in the chat began greeting Ella sparsely, carrying a clearly awkward and submissive tone.
After thinking about it, I sent over a message as well.
"Congratulations. May the Moon Goddess bless you both."
Following that, I immediately left the group chat, thus severing my contact with them.
