Alpha Carter POV Elizabeth and I had had woken up a few times throughout the night to pick up where we had left off. I was eagerly waiting for our marks to heal, so we could see what they looked like. They should be ready later today. As Alphas we will heal faster than a regular wolf. I was eager to see what the Moon Goddess had blessed us with. I had spent the morning with Kinsley, Stan and Elizabeth going over the silver wolf history books. From what I can gather it is a rarity; like one every hundred years. And they do only come from Alpha lineage. So, either her parents are legitimate, or they are not. We had time to interrogate them again later today. Elizabeth had been very quiet while we read specific details to her. She was not showing any annoyance, but I know she was embarrassed by her lack of reading skills. I would approach the subject with her when this was resolved and offer to get her a tutor if she wanted. I did not want he

Alpha Carter POV “You have got to be kidding. What about Carl?” I ask not believing a word coming from this bitch’s mouth. “Oh, Carl would have continued to break Elizabeth and when we were done with him, he would have been taken care of. He had a simple purpose and once that purpose was complete, he would have been executed,” she says as if satisfied with the plans. “What would you have gotten from it all?” Elizabeth asks. “The satisfaction of taking everything from your parents, of course. Hell, if I got really lucky you would have been so convinced of our story, you would have killed them yourself,” she says with a giggle. “Wouldn’t that have been satisfying to experience?” she asks herself. “You are sick,” Elizabeth says to her turning away from the woman who is a stranger to her. “Do not turn your back on me. You owe me, you little bitch,” Mary snarls. Whipping back around Elizabeth stares at her taking a step towards her, “I owe you n

Elizabeth POV Why is this man so obsessed with me. Or rather I guess obsessed with the power that comes with being royalty. I only learned hours ago my true identity and the thoughts of being royal are terrifying to me. I am just adjusting to a life with Carter. I cannot imagine anything else at this moment. “Mary said my brother is taking over from my father. That has already been decided. Nothing will change,” I say to everyone simply confused as to how all this works. “If you return, there is a chance you will inherit the crown as would be your right,” Carter says to me. “I do not want it,” I reply quickly. “That may be the case, but I think once we get everything figured out, we should reach out to your parents to let them know you are alive,” Carter suggests gently. I look at my hands folded on the table. I know he is right, but the thought of meeting them. The thoughts of them knowing what I went through all these years. The thought

Elizabeth POV After a fitful night of rest, I woke early wrapped in Carter’s arms. When Carter told me about Fred’s death, I felt sadness. While I had been betrayed by the man, he had also been my father during my formative years. I did have some good memories of that time. For whatever reason they were good to me before they turned me over to Alpha Matt and Beta Carl. Carter was advised Mary was screaming in anguish over what had happened. She had been demanding Carter and I come to her, but we did not. I had nothing more to say to the woman. It was sad that her mate had died, but there was nothing I could do to help her. Carter indicated he would see her today while I was preparing for the ceremony tonight. That also had me on edge. Would anyone ruin it for us? Would I truly become Luna to this Pack? I could not believe it was happening, but it feels like it has been a long time coming. A small part of me still worried that it would be

Alpha Carter POV As we walk down the hall and take the stairs down to the main lobby, we see Stan and Kinsley waiting for us. “You look beautiful, Elizabeth,” Kinsley says. Stan nods, “Stunning,” he adds. “As do you both of you,” I reply hold Elizabeth’s hand tightly. “Let’s get started,” I say to everyone. Stan and Kinsley walk through the open doors ahead of us. We wait a moment for them to get to the head of the aisle. I then look down at Elizabeth, “Ready to become my Luna?” I ask her. “I am more than ready,” she replies as she looks up at me. The love I feel for this woman is overwhelming. I kiss her lips gently before standing and opening the doors to the ceremony. We walk through the crowd of people. Everyone was excited to see their Alpha with his Luna. The Pack had high hopes for us and were excited to be part of the ceremony. As we walk through, I nod to Pack members as Elizabeth does to the ones on her side. Everyone feels spe
