So Leo and I planned to hold our wedding as quickly as we could.I would have happily said my vows right there and then at Leo’s coronation. My mother, Dr. Lee, and Ethan’s siblings insisted we had to have a
Johann’s declaration sent a jolt through the gathered alphas. It was immediate pandemonium.The alphas shouted over each other. Some were calling for Leo’s head. Some wanted every wolf present banished. Interestingly, many of the alphas were cheering in agreement.“There hasn’t been a wolf king in g
After the Rogues were finally defeated, Leo and I wanted to plan our lives together. We were going to have a simple wedding. We would invite our pack and Ethan's and the doctors at the hospital.But the other alphas had different ideas.The eldest alpha, Titian, came to the pack army encampment the

Leo burst into the room and threw himself down in front of me. His eyes were wild and his breath came in short, harsh gasps.“Are you all right? Were you hurt?” he asked, gripping my shoulders.I shook my head. “I'm fine. I wasn't here. I was with Ethan.”Leo slumped with relief. Then he looked over
A few days after the council meeting, I was sitting in the garden with my mother and Ethan's sisters. Elise had begged for a chance to feed the baby.
