ALINA

Was I stupid? Yes. Would that get me killed? Apparently.

But my wellbeing was the last thing on my mind. Not when I saw Hailey so close to being killed.

I got there just as the angry lycan tried to pull her. I jumped in front of her, raising my hands up in surrender. I heard someone mutter something about me getting myself killed. I ignored them.

“What do you think you’re doing?” The man barked at me. He towered over me, the scar that covered one side of his face looked scarier up close. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat, trying to fprce words past my lips.

I’m suddenly jerked away by my arm. I cried out when she tossed me to the ground, shooting a hateful glare my way.

“No. Don’t hurt her, please. She didn’t do anything.” I finally managed to scream out.

“I said follow me and not do anything stupid.” She kicked my stomach. Pain made my eyes grow blurry but I was still shouting for Hailey to be let go. “You’re. Kick. A. Kick. Worthless. Kick. Whore.”

    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

    ALINAThe next day, Dr. Sarah finally cleared me for light activity.“Very light,” she emphasized when we were getting ready to leave. “Short walks, gentle stretching, normal daily tasks. No running, no lifting anything heavier than a cup of tea, and absolutely no life-threatening adventures.”“I’ll do my best,” I promised with a cheeky smile.She didn’t look convinced but released me anyway.It felt good to be mobile again, to walk through the pack’s territory without assistance. People greeted me warmly, some even bowing slightly as I passed. It was strange and uncomfortable, but I tried to accept it gracefully.Rory found me in the common area, looking through books in the library.“There you are,” she said. “I’ve been looking for you. We need to discuss the ceremony.”“Already?” I asked.“Two weeks isn’t much time,” she said, pulling out a notebook. She is unofficially my assignment and secretary and just everything. “Especially for something this important. We need to choose your

    ALINAThe execution was carried out that evening, swift and without ceremony. I didn’t attend because I couldn’t bear to watch, even knowing she deserved it. Alexander went, as was his duty as Alpha, and returned looking tired and older somehow.“It’s done,” was all he said, and I didn’t ask for details.The days that followed were strange. Peaceful, but with an undercurrent of tension as the pack processed everything that had happened. People looked at me differently now. With respect, yes, but also with something like awe that made me uncomfortable.I was just a woman who’d survived something terrible. I didn’t feel like a hero or a Luna or anything special. I felt tired and pregnant and grateful to be alive.Dr. Sarah enforced her bed rest order with an iron fist, threatening to sedate me if I didn’t comply. So I spent three days in Alexander’s quarters, our quarters now, I supposed, doing nothing but sleeping, eating, and talking to my babies.“Your grandmother is terrifying,” I t
