As I make my way down the flowery makeshift aisle, my arm looped with my fathers, my stomach flutters. I’m nervous but excited.There are so many people here. Thousands, in fact, because the whole pack is here to witness this. I see so many familiar faces and gasp in surprise when I see Mason with Katy. I knew Katy would be here, but I didn’t think Mason would come.He winks at me while Katy blows kisses.I smile and turn my head to the front.I see Lorcan standing on the podium surrounded by our pack members and family. The King stands in front of Lorcan, ready to officiate the ceremony.Lorcan smiles right at me, eyes nowhere but on me, and I smile in return. He is indeed wearing a suit of white, with this dark hair slicked back but loose around his broad shoulders.

“Lorcan, can you stop pacing? You’re making me dizzy.”I growl at Gianna’s father.My mate was shot; she’s in surgery; what the fuck does he expect me to do other than pace?The son of a bitch has to know how this feels right now. Gianna is his daughter!She was my wife mere minutes before someone shot her in the back. Josh immediately caught the guy, and I should be in the dungeon right now interrogating the prick. But I can’t bear to do anything until I know if Gianna is going to make it.I can still feel her in my arms. I can even see the wide-eyed look of fear Gianna gave me when she slumped forward. I’m still covered in the blood, she coughed up, and I can still hear myself begging her not to leave me.

“My Alpha?” Emily looks at me while sniffing. “You know me better than anyone here. You know when I’m lying and when I’m not. Gianna gave us her blessing,”I hold my hand up to stop Sofia from speaking. I won’t have her interrupting as though she has the right!“Harper was there. I know this is neither the time nor the place for this. But I am begging you, please speak with Harper, and she’ll tell you the truth of what was said.”I sigh.Emily is right; this is neither the time nor the place. However, I have to admit that it’s taking my mind off the time. Waiting for news of my wife is driving me nuts.Harper is with Josh and my family right now, she’s incredibly close to Gianna, and this has hit her hard.

Once I’m done taking care of Bella in the shower, eating her pussy until she’s screaming my name, she takes me with her mouth.I did say no, but she wouldn’t hear of it, and Bella didn’t stop sucking on my clit until I was a puddle at her feet.I then washed her hair and body and my own before drying her off. Bella watched me with a slight smile on her face as I tucked her up in bed, naked as the day she was born. Bella told me last night that she always sleeps naked.Fine with me.“I love you, Emily, more than anything in this world.”I lean in and kiss Bella softly. “I love you, too, Bella. No one will ever come close to you because you are everything.”“You’re my everything,” She mumbles, her sleepy ey

It’s been three days since I killed Steven and had Kit check the pack for traitors. There were none, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for that.Trevor’s family weren’t aware of what he’d done. But his parents begged me to forgive them and allow them to stay in the only home they’ve ever known.I couldn’t throw them out when they’d done nothing wrong. However, I made sure to wipe their memories of Trevor. It was considered cruel, but I believed it was necessary. You can never be too careful.When the dust had settled, Trevor’s father could have turned on me. Then I would have had to kill the man, leaving his mate to die alone.No, it was better that I wiped their memories.It’s been three days, but Gianna is still to wake from her slumbe
