Marking was a sacred activity between two fated they mated for the first time . However , the Mad King didn't do it by rule plate , which should be done in private , and to alleviate the pain , it should be done after He made his own rule . " Don't ," Sebastian said sternly . He held Caden's hand firmly when the alpha wanted to stop the madness . " You can't . Calm down . " " I don't want to calm down , " Caden growled in a low voice , because he felt this urge to snap the king's neck . If only he had a clear mind , he would understand that was not possible to do .

" Declan tilted his head , trying to find the right words to describe her . " She was shunned away by her family , and had been living in the pack house since a year ago . " " Hm ... shunned away by the family . " Maximus nodded , he chuckled . " I can see why the Moon Goddess matched us both . " He found this funny . The irony did him , since the same thing happened to him as well . No wonder she is wearing the omega uniform . A beta daughter , who became an omega ." " But , Max ... " Declan was a little bit hesitated . He dragdn't know how the king would react when he heard this piece of information . " Hm , continue ... " Maximus sipped his drink again .
