Dante’s pov

We took the side exit through the hallway and ended up at the back balcony.

I felt the cold breeze hit me as the moon held high and full in the sky.

He passed me a cup. I didn’t ask what it contained; I just took a long sip.

“Congrats, by the way,” he said after a pause. “I’m not going to lie, I didn’t expect it to be this fast.”

“Neither was I,” I muttered.

Another silence brewed within us before he leaned forward on the railing. “Some of the elders aren’t too happy about it.”

“I don’t care.” I let out a breath and sipped again.

“You should.”

“Why? All they’ve done is be terrible towards her.”

He looked around and then leaned in to me. “You married a Thane, Dante. You might not care, but they do.”

I tensed, not liking the sound of that. I didn’t say anything in return.

“Yeah, I know she is one. I’ve been your friend for years, you can’t expect me to not know all your battles. I can sense the thane spirit within her.”

“Seems like everyone knows about her being a thane.”

    Selena’s povAfter the wedding, we went to a large hall to celebrate the reception.The tables were filled with foods and heavy with assorted meals as the feast was in full roar.I sat at the head table with Dante but it didn’t feel real. It felt like I was in some kind of movie.An elder rose from the far end of the table, lifting his goblet toward us. He was truly ancient with bone white hair and old leather for skin, but his voice was strong.“To the Alpha and Luna!” he shouted. The hall fell silent. “To their bond bringing strength to our pack, and to the moon lighting their path every night.”A cheer erupted, loud and warm. I found Dante’s gaze as we raised our cups, toasting in their direction. Someone began to chant, first softly, then others following until the room was filled with our names repeated again and again. For a moment then I felt something barreling toward me—a feeling deeper than nerves; not fear exactly. More like. . . acceptance.Finally the cheers died down, th

    Selena’s povI wondered if I was being sacrificed as no one answered me. Instead they kept on chanting as I looked around for a familiar face but I didn’t get any. No sign of Dante or even Sara. I would even be glad to see Anna my sister but nope. I was in the midst of old women chanting otherworldly songs.They then helped me out of bed as they bathed me and lathered me with herbs and oil before dressing me up in a soft white cloth. They worked on my hair and did my makeup as I felt like a royal.Sara showed up at the door a few minutes later and I shot to my feet."Where’s Dante?” I asked, my voice coming out in a whisper. But Sara stepped forward and closed the door behind her. “You’ll see him soon enough,” she told me with a smile before crossing the room to fix my sleeve. “You look so beautiful Selene... really.”I gave her a tiny unsure smile. “What is this? What’s happening? These ladies came in and started singing hymns or chants or something.”She stopped, hands poised near

    Selena’s povI was reading a book in the room when the news was delivered to me like a bombshell. Just like that I was getting married.Sure I had told Dante I would marry him but I had no idea it would be this soon.“The ceremony’s tomorrow,” he said. “Just a small one. Nothing fancy.”“Ceremony?”“To make it official. You know, you being Luna?”I blinked, trying to gather myself. My hands were in my lap with my fingers twisted together. “So soon?”He hesitated. “Yeah. It’s necessary. Only the elders and a few chosen will be there. We’ll hold the public celebration later.”“I’m confused. Why not wait and do it all at once. Isn’t it better that way?”He walked up next to me, voice low. “Because there are… some watching. Some questioning. If we make it official now, they have less reason to question. To speak out against you as Luna.”So it wasn't a wedding. It was protection. What the heck anyway. I was already in danger. Might as well go all the way.“Look; I know it’s all fast but i

    Dante’s povThat afternoon, I decided to make my announcements to everyone in the pack as I had called them to show up.I looked at the people gathered all round as they were waiting to hear if maybe I was going to bless them or perhaps bite out their throats. Either reaction seemed equally possible.Sara stood by my side with her arms crossed on her chest, chin up high as ever.When I caught her watching me she nodded once, quickly.I exhaled, then faced the people and raised my voice. “I know I’ve been silent,” I said. “Too silent maybe. Some of you have been wondering about things. About me. About… changes recently. About her.”I hadn’t said Selene’s name yet. There was a certain charge to the air. I stopped, examined the faces again. Curiosity in some of them, downright anger in others. Well, they were going to find out soon enough why I had called this meeting. "I wanted peace," I continued. "I needed time. Time to think. Time to figure things out here. Time to protect what nee

    Dante’s povI was hardly done with Sara when I heard a knock. One of those firm, insistent raps that immediately let you know it could be no one but a guard.I crossed over and swung it back.There was a guard, rigidly standing with his back straight, his eyes fidgeting as he was looking at me like he was scared of my look. “The elders,” He spoke. “They wish for your presence.”Of course they do.I looked back behind me at Sara, who had thrown herself against my desk with crossed arms. She raised her eyebrows like ’well, that didn’t take long.’I turned back to the guard. “I’ll be there soon. Tell them that.”He nodded and walked off.I closed the door as I felt something in my gut twist slightly. Not fear, no; I had faced things far worse than this before, but an internal recognition that whatever this was… it was going to change everything.Sara tilted her head. “Let me guess… they found out.”“Maybe,” I muttered. “But I need you to come with me.”“Wait a minute. You mean you want
