The sound of ceremony bells drifted through the phone , mixed with the sound of the wind . Ethan tensed , his voice trembling . " You - you're at Aurora Peak in Alaska ? " " A " Are you crazy ? I already changed the location ! " I laughed softly . " I know ." Ethan was speechless . " What do you mean , you know ? You knew , and you went anyway ? What is wrong with you ? Why are you so stubborn ? This is the most important day of our lives , and you didn't even tell me ! " " Did you tell me before you changed the location ? " My question silenced him .

" I can't understand them . And I don't need to anymore . " " I'm about to accept a mark . Goodbye ." I hung up and gave the phone to my friend to hold . Ethan called again and again , but he would never get through . A suffocating pain gripped his chest . His inner wolf was howling in rage . She's accepting a mark ? Whose mark is she accepting ?

Turns out … she went for an immediate bonding with someone else . " Ethan's parents understood now . They grabbed Ethan angrily . " You fool ! Go get your mate back right now ! " Ethan , his eyes red , grabbed Kira's hand . " Kira , come with me to Alaska ! Now ! " Kira pulled her hand back , looking wronged . " But my foot still hurts … And what's the point ? She's already … " Ethan shouted frantically , " She is my mate ! I won't let her marry someone else ! " " You have to be there and explain to her that there's nothing between us ! " 0
