ALINA

Dr. Sarah cleared me for discharge the next morning with strict instructions to take it easy, avoid stress, and return immediately if I felt any concerning symptoms.

“Which means no stress at all for at least a week,” she emphasized, looking pointedly at Alexander. “No pack politics, no dramatic revelations, no life-or-death decisions. Rest. Recovery. That’s it.”

“We’ll be holding a trial this afternoon where she’s testifying against the woman who kidnapped and cursed her,” Alexander said. “Does that count as stressful?”

Dr. Sarah’s expression suggested she was reconsidering her discharge order. “Fine. But after the trial, complete bed rest for three days minimum. And I mean it, bed rest. Not ‘sitting up in bed working’ rest. Actual rest.”

“I promise,” I said.

She didn’t look convinced but signed my discharge papers anyway. Alexander promised he would make me rest and I can see she believed him. Good to see them finally getting along. Whatever happened in the time i was gone, mu

    ALEXANDERI kept a protective arm around Alina, making sure no one jostled her too roughly, and that she had space to breathe. But I didn't have to worry, the pack was careful with her, mindful of her pregnancy, showing the same protectiveness I felt.“Luna Alina,” one of the visiting Alphas said, approaching us with his mate. “A beautiful ceremony. And a powerful speech. You’ll be good for this pack.”“Thank you,” Alina said graciously. “That means a lot coming from someone with your experience.”I watched her navigate the conversation, deflecting questions she didn’t know how to answer, asking intelligent questions of her own, making connections with these influential visitors. Natural diplomat, just as I’d told her.The evening progressed, food and drink flowing freely. Alina managed to eat a little, though I could tell she was getting tired. The Luna mark would take time to fully settle, and the magical binding was exhausting on top of everything else.“Do you need to sit?” I aske

    ALEXANDERI felt the bond knitting itself between Alina’s spirit and the heart of the pack. Her pulse beat against mine, strong and sure, until the line between us blurred. My wolf stirred restlessly, recognizing the shift, the acceptance, the power that now pulsed through her veins.Alina’s breath caught. A faint glow shimmered where our hands were joined.When I finally pulled back, the wound had already sealed, leaving a faint scar shaped like the crescent moon.“Now, you mark her,” Moira’s voice broke through the thoughts running wild in my head. “Let all who see know that she belongs to this pack, and this pack to her.”I released Alina’s hand and moved to stand directly before her. This was the part I’d been both anticipating and dreading. The Luna mark was different from a mate mark. It was more visible, more painful, and absolutely permanent. It would brand her as mine, yes, but more importantly as theirs. The pack’s Luna.“This will hurt,” I said quietly, so only she could he

    ALEXANDER“Good,” Alina said. “Because I’m going to need you. Today, tomorrow, when these babies arrive and I have no idea what I’m doing—”“We’ll figure it out together,” I interrupted her before she would go on a spiral and start doubting herself again. “That’s what this ceremony means, remember? We’re not alone. We have each other. We have the pack.”She nodded, taking a deep breath. “Okay. I can do this.”“You can do this,” I confirmed.A knock on the door announced Rory’s return. “Time,” she said. “Alexander, you need to get to the hall. Alina, we need to get you in position.”I pressed a kiss to Alina’s forehead, careful not to disturb her hair or makeup. “I’ll see you out there.”“You better,” she said, managing a smile. “Don’t make me walk down that aisle for nothing.”“I wouldn’t dream of it.”The ceremonial hall was packed when I arrived. Every member of our pack was present, dressed in their finest. Representatives from six neighboring packs occupied the places of honor nea

    ALEXANDERI stood at the window of our quarters, watching the sun begin its descent toward the horizon. In an hour, the ceremony would begin. In an hour, Alina would walk down that aisle and officially become my Luna, the pack’s Luna.I think a part of me knew from the moment I met her that it was going to end this way. I’d tried to fight the connection, it didn’t go so well. And after everything we’d been through—the kidnapping, the curse, nearly losing her and our children—this moment felt almost surreal. Like if I looked away too long, it might disappear, revealed as just another hallucination from the curse.But she was real. I could hear her in the next room with Rory and the other women, their voices mixing with laughter as they prepared.Her laugh, light and genuine, something I’d feared I might never hear again during those dark days in the forest.“You’re thinking too hard,” Ryker said from the doorway.“I’m reflecting,” I corrected.“You’re terrified something’s going to go

    ALINAMy scream brought Alexander running from the bathroom., half-dressed, terror in his eyes.“The babies,” I gasped. “Something’s wrong—”The words were barely out of my mouth before he started moving. He picked the phone up, from the way his shoulders were stiff, I knew he was sending a mindlink.I was filled with so much terror that the thought of moving froze me to my spot. Alexander on my side again in the next second, holding my hand, whispering words of assurance in my ears. But I was far gone, whimpering and sobbing and clutching my bump.“Please save my babies.” Was the only thing I could utter.Dr. Sarah was there within minutes. Her professional mask fell when she entered, I saw the look she gave me and it only made me panic more. She shook her head and took off her stethoscope even before she got me. She examined me quickly. I didn’t know if I was the one shaking or what was happening but it looked like her hands were shaking.She stepped back after a while. Her face was

    ALINA“I’ll get you the traditional text,” Rory said. “But the basics are, Do you accept this pack as your family? Do you swear to protect them, guide them, stand beside them in times of hardship? Do you understand that their wellbeing comes before your own comfort?”Each question felt heavier than the last. I swallowed a huge lump that formed in my throat. “And if I say yes?”“Then Alexander will mark you. Give you the Luna mark, different from the mate mark. It’s visible, placed here—” she touched her collarbone, “—so everyone can see that you’re claimed by the pack, not just the Alpha.”“Does it hurt?”“I won’t lie to you, yes. But it’s a good pain. A sacred pain. And it fades quickly.” She moved to the center of the dais. “After the marking, you’ll both address the pack. Usually, the Alpha speaks first, formally presenting his Luna. Then you speak. Just a few words about your commitment, your hopes for the future.”“Then everyone feasts and celebrates?”“Then everyone feasts and c
