(FORMER) LUNA CLAIR. “Princess, Amara is on the phone.” Jake’s voice made me turn around from placing dishes in the dishwasher. I was cleaning up after breakfast before we could proceed with our day. My eyes darted to Jake’s perfectly chiseled abs. After all these years, the sight of his nakedness could still send a shiver of pleasure down to my core. Fine, he was not fully naked, but still, he’s really sexy that I could… “Earth to Absaline Clair...” He chuckled as he waved the wireless receiver in his hand, snapping me from daydreaming. I laughed softly and felt my cheeks burning from being caught ogling him. “What did you say?” I asked. “Amara on the phone…” “Oh,” I said, wiping my hands on the apron I had on me before extending my hand to grab it from him. “Give me that.” Jake stepped closer before handing me the receiver and standing behind me. His arms snaked around my body, and he rested his chin on my shoulder. I cleared my throat before I spoke, reminding myself to foc

CATHERINE. Tyler’s warmth suddenly became so cold that I felt my body shiver and my teeth chatter. My arms voluntarily wrapped around me as I snuggled toward him, but instead of his warmth, my head bumped into something hard. Tyler’s body was hard and soft, but at the same time really comfortable. This one was just so hard that I felt a bruise coming out of my forehead based on how hard I hit the surface. With my eyes still closed, I raised my hand and touched the surface that I bumped my head into. Solid. Hard with edges. Like a big stone. My eyes snapped open, and they became rounder as the view in front of me became clearer. I was lying sideways, so everything was sideways too, but I could see trees in front of me and leaves and twigs just beside me, or the one I was actually lying in. Why was I in the forest? Did we fall asleep here after the full moon run? My hand went to my back as I tried to feel the ground behind me, hoping Tyler was there. “You are alone here with me,

CATHERINE. A female was doing my hair for the ceremony, and I knew Amara would be coming in to help me put on my dress, so when the knock came, I thought it was her. An Omega opened the door, and my eyes widened when I saw Alice instead through the mirror. I was in one of the guest rooms in the packhouse, as I didn’t want many people to come in and out of our suite, as that was our own sanctuary, and I wanted to keep it that way. I turned my head around and smiled at her, but I was not sure if they reached my eyes. “What are you doing here?” My question came across as awkward, but I was actually asking why she was here in my room. I knew Alpha Roan was invited. Tyler and Jace asked Amara and me if it was okay if they would also allow Alice in the ceremony, as Roan requested his sister as his plus one. I didn’t have any problem with it. However, I knew Amara and Alice were still not okay, so I was surprised when Amara allowed it but with a condition to make sure Alice would not

TYLER. All eyes followed her line of sight, and she was right — Zach just entered the ballroom with his Beta and his whole family around him. I felt the air still as the noise dissipated around the ballroom that you would hear if a pin dropped. “Zach!” Catherine exclaimed as she left my hold and hurried forward, walking and running toward them before she threw her arms around him. “I’m so glad you’re here.” The silence stopped, and the crowd began to have their own conversation again, but my focus was on the Alpha, who didn’t even move his arms to hug my mate. Instead, a scowl was on his face as he waited for Catherine to pull away from him. The moment she did, his gaze went around the crowd in front of him, which consisted of his friends and Alpha Circle. “Stop with the staring as if you’ve seen a ghost.” “Enough, Zach.” Uncle Riley said in a low but firm voice. His forehead creased, and I could see he was already upset as well. “We’re just happy you are here,” Catherine said

ALPHA LAWRENCE. I just saw the most beautiful and sweetest face I had ever laid eyes on. I was immediately hypnotized, enjoying the way her voice was soothing my senses and calming my wolf. Our eyes locked, and despite wanting to smile, my face remained stoic, just taking in all of her. Until she stopped singing and red tints began to crawl on her cheeks. I panicked at the panic that registered on her face when she realized she was not singing anymore and I suddenly wanted to act like a knight in shining armor. Before I could even comprehend what I was doing, I had already heard my voice singing the next part of the song. I’m not a singer, but I think I could carry a tune. And the moment a smile curled on her lips as she looked at me while I sang the part she missed out on, I knew I did the right thing, even if I was not sure why I wanted to do the right thing. But fuck this! Her smile was worth the humiliation of singing in front of the crowd because I was certain I was singing
