My Best Friend’s Perfect Boyfriend Was My Alpha Fiancé Chapter 06
The heavy doors were pushed open.
The spotlight immediately focused on the entrance.
Jonathan looked up anxiously.
The moment he saw who had arrived, all the blood drained from his body.
The person slowly walking toward him from the other end of the altar was not the Hazel he had been desperately searching for.
It was Victoria.
Jonathan’s gaze fell on the wedding dress Victoria was wearing.
That was the wedding dress Hazel had spent countless sleepless nights making with her own hands, every stitch sewn with her love and hope.
She had waited three years for the chance to wear it. But now, it was on another woman.
A sharp pain pierced through Jonathan’s heart, and his expression darkened completely.
He grabbed Victoria’s wrist and snapped coldly, “Take it off.”
Victoria curled her lips into a smile, “What? Is Hazel’s wedding dress not fitting me?”
Jonathan’s eyes burned with anger.
“Don’t make me say it a second time. Take it off! This belongs to Hazel. Who gave you permission to touch her things?”
The smile on Victoria’s lips grew even wider, “I’ve already touched her man. What does a wedding dress matter?”
After saying that, she wrapped her arm around Jonathan’s.
“Alright, I’m wearing the wedding dress she loves and marrying the mate she dreamed of having. Isn’t it all just to force her to show herself? Don’t you want to see Hazel sooner?”
Jonathan’s hand, which was about to stop her, froze in midair.
Hazel’s hurt and determined expression flashed through his mind uncontrollably.
His reason told him that this would hurt Hazel.
But the fear of never finding her again completely overwhelmed him.
He glanced at his phone, which still showed no reply from Hazel.
Then he gritted his teeth and allowed Victoria to hold his arm as they walked toward the altar.
The marking ceremony proceeded in an eerie atmosphere.
Jonathan stood on the altar like a puppet controlled by strings, but his eyes kept moving past the crowd, staring at the entrance.
Just then, one of his groomsmen rushed over with excitement written all over his face.
“Jonathan, Hazel is here!”
“She’s at the plaza across from here. She didn’t even take her luggage and is rushing toward us right now! Judging by how angry she looks, she must have heard the news and come here to stop your wedding!”
A hint of joy appeared on Jonathan’s face.
The uneasiness that had been weighing on his heart disappeared instantly, replaced by overwhelming happiness from getting something back that he thought he had lost.
“I knew it. She couldn’t let me go. There’s no way she would really leave.”
Jonathan tore off the ribbon from his chest and threw aside Victoria, who was still holding the ring. Then he turned and ran away without hesitation.
He forgot that the ceremony venue and the Werewolf Court were separated only by a single plaza. Or perhaps he never considered where Hazel was actually going.
The moment Jonathan rushed out of the ceremony venue, he collided with his panicked Beta, Caleb.
Caleb handed him a folder, his voice trembling.
“Alpha, something is wrong. I just found this on the floor by the entrance cabinet of the pack house.”
Jonathan took the folder and casually opened it. The moment his eyes landed on the title, his breathing stopped.
The document was titled: “Assault Case Filing Receipt and Injury Assessment Report.”
At the bottom, under the victim’s name, were the words written clearly in black and white:
“Hazel Ashton.”
“What… is this?”
Jonathan’s gaze fell on the date and location of the incident.
Three days ago. Lunar Veil Bar.
It was the exact night when Victoria had been drugged and entered her heat cycle, and he had abandoned Hazel to save her.
Jonathan’s mind uncontrollably replayed that night.
Hazel covered in wounds. The hopelessness and determination in her eyes.
And the words she had said: “Jonathan, what if I told you that the person who was assaulted was me?”
A terrifying thought slowly emerged in his heart.
Before he could confirm it, the large screen across the plaza suddenly lit up.
A live broadcast of a trial, presided over by the Alpha King himself, began playing across the entire werewolf realm.
It was a case that had drawn the attention of every werewolf.
