I am so grateful for all of the love and support that this story has received! I cannot wait to see your reactions to the next few surprises I have in store for you!
Hint: the next chapter will be Stephanie's POV!
I had originally planned to get the story done by mid-November, but it is already November 9/10 and I do not want to rush the end of the story just to meet that artificial timeline.
That doesn't mean that I am going to drag this out, and it doesn't mean the upcoming chapters aren't going to be action packed (they will be!). I just want to make sure we have proper time for the happy endings we have been working towards.
I will continue to do daily updates, and hopefully write at least 2-3 chapters per day. I would estimate now being done just 2-3 weeks later than I originally thought. Maybe sooner, maybe a tiny touch later. But hopefully it will be worth it. I can see the rainbow at the end, and it is all fitting together nicely and closer than you may think (especially after the wedding...).
(Don't be scared. You will like the wedding.)
Happy reading and thank you to everyone again for the love and support!
(Stephanie POV) It is time for me to finally head home. Believe it or not, I really miss everyone. I am looking forward to seeing my friends and family, including even my younger sister. I originally did not intend to be gone this long. I just wanted a couple of years to be young and free befor
(Unknown POV) I am currently at the large memorial/ wedding venue with the alpha, beta, and gamma families and some of their early arrival out-of-town guests. We are here watching the omegas and human employees finish decorating for tomorrow’s event. It is admittedly a little odd to invite honore
(James POV) Today is the day. I am nervous, but I am also ready. We do not have all of the answers, but we have controlled for as many of the unknowns as we can. Joey and I have spent countless days and nights in bars in human territory, with me always coming back to the pack late at night smel
(Author POV) Finally, it was “show time.” Guests were seated on all three floors of the large opera house, while presenters, members of the wedding party, and a few other important guests waited in rooms backstage along with their (admittedly necessary) security details. Each backstage room was
(Author POV) Stephanie and Sheila continued to glare at one another. Given the way that the stage was set up —with thick red curtains on either side of them— they had no idea that anyone else could hear them. Nor did they realize that Jenny had her cell phone recording their interaction and live-
(Author POV) “Did you really think that I didn’t know?” Jenny asked. “Know what?” Stephanie asked in both confusion and fear. “What the two of you were doing. Who you were hurting. My bedroom was right next door to yours for years, Sheila! And you are my little sister. Do you two really thin
(James POV) As Dr. Hyder speeds towards Black Moon, my heart is racing. I frantically try calling and texting Lily, but I am unable to reach her. I know that she is strong, but I have never seen her fight. Plus, until she marks her chosen mate (hopefully me), she will remain a valuable target.
**** (An hour later) “What the f&&k do you mean that you do not know where Lily is?” I scream as I press Brady aggressively against the wall in his office. “Get off me, James.” “F&&k you, Brady. TELL ME WHERE MY MATE IS!” “I already told you! I do not know.” “How long has she been gone, Bra
