ALEXANDER

Jared got his location in under five minutes. While he and the others handled it, Claude and I sat back, waiting for them to finish.

“Do you want us to activate intruder mode?” Steven asked, hand already hovering over the control.

“How long will it buy us?” I glanced at my watch, weighing the time.

Now that we had him, I considered wrapping things up and heading back to the house to see Alina . It wasn’t late yet so we could still go on that walk she mentioned.

The thought made me pause. Had I lost my mind on the way up here? With a lunatic on the loose and Isiah probably working for her, I was thinking about leaving all this behind just to see Alina ’s sweet face glowing in the sunlight, like the sun itself existed just to adore her?

Yeah, something was off. With me. Because that thought alone gave me a semi.

“Alpha, should we?”

A few pairs of eyes were on me. Claude’s eyes held a flicker of amusement. The rest just waited for my command.

    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
