My Beta Never Showed—So I Became the Luna of His Worst Nightmare

"Beta Max and I were at the Civil Affairs Bureau, ready to register our marriage. We were just waiting to take the final photo when he got a phone call and left.He abandoned me right there at the marriage registration office, leaving me stuck in an impossible situation.I called him—no answer.I messaged him—no reply.In the end, I had no choice but to call his childhood sweetheart’s number. Beta Max answered.“Louis, can you stop being so annoying? Grace twisted her ankle—I need to take care of her today. Stop calling and waking her up. We’ll reschedule the registration.”I bit my lip and murmured into the phone, “This makes it the seventh time we’ve rescheduled.”“So what? The Civil Affairs Bureau isn’t going anywhere—it’s not like it’s going to disappear!”My face was blank, but it felt like my heart was being carved open.A staff member looked at me with pity and asked, “Alpha Louis, are we still doing this?”I gave a small nod. “Yes. Let’s go through with it.”"
