The Alpha King is unavailable 129
The grand ceremony at the Silvercrest Pack House was scheduled for 11 PM, but | arrived at 9:30 PM. The
entrance was already crowded with luxury vehicles and prominent Alpha wolves from across the Northern
Territories.
My hands tightened around the steering wheel as | observed the scene from my car. Members of neighboring
packs mingled outside, their wolves bristling with curiosity beneath their human skins. Journalists from werewolf
media outlets positioned themselves strategically, cameras ready to capture the momentous occasion.
Tonight was the night Victoria had been waiting for - her official introduction as Ethan's chosen mate. And more
importantly, Emma would be formally acknowledged as part of the Stone bloodline.
| watched as Ethan and his father greeted guests with formal dignity. Their matching black suits and stern
expressions reflected the solemnity of the occasion. After a few minutes, Ethan excused himself, likely to prepare
for the ceremony.
My wolf remained unnaturally calm within me. We had moved beyond fear and grief to cold
determination.
| stepped out of my car once | saw Ethan and his father leave the entrance. My white dress
and coat - symbols of both mourning and purity in werewolf culture - stood out among the
colorful formal attire of the other guests.
My Crystal-Studded Designer Handbag felt heavy against my side, weighted with the evidence

that would shatter their carefully constructed facade.
"Olivia Winters?" A young beta wolf approached me, recognition dawning in his eyes. "I didn't
expect to see you here tonight."
| offered him a cold smile. "I wouldn't miss it for the world."

| stood on the second-floor staircase, admiring my reflection in the ornate mirror. My Full
Moon Haute Couture Gown - specially acquired by Ethan before its public release - hugged
my curves perfectly.

"You look perfect, darling," | assured her, adjusting the crystal pin in her hair. "Tonight, everyone will see that
you're the true daughter of the Alpha King."
My wolf preened beneath my skin. After seven long years, | would finally be acknowledged as
Ethan's chosen mate the future Luna of the Silvercrest Pack.
| scanned the growing crowd below, searching for one face in particular. Part ofhoped
Olivia would be here to witness my triumph. What satisfaction it would bring to see the defeat
in her eyes!
Through the mirror, | caught sight of her entering the main hall. Her white attire stood out
among the guests like a ghost at a celebration.
My lips curved into a smile. "Perfect," | whispered.
Emma tugged at my dress. "Is it tyet, Mommy?"
| nodded, taking her small hand in mine. "Yes, sweetheart. It's tto claim what's
rightfully
ours."
We began our descent down the grand staircase, every eye in the room turning toward us. My
wolf howled with triumph beneath my skin.
Seven years of patience was about to pay off.

locked with mine, his expression unreadable but his posture rigid with Alpha authority.
"Daddy!" Emma called out sweetly, her voice carrying clearly through the hall. "Grandpa!"
Ethan's father nodded curtly. | knew he wasn't particularly fond of Emma - he had always preferred male heirs to
continue the Alpha bloodline. But | had promised to bear him several strong male pups once Ethan and | were
officially mated.
"You look beautiful, Emmy," Ethan said, embracing her with a tenderness he had never shown
his biological daughter.
My wolf purred with satisfaction as Ethan took my arm. Together, we proceeded toward the Stone Ancestral Hall,
the sacred space where pack bloodlines were officially recorded and
recognized.
From the corner of my eye, | saw Olivia watching us, her emerald eyes cold and calculating. Let her watch, |
thought. Let her see what she has lost.
