(Jace's POV) I tugged on the sleeve of my button-down, then glanced at Michael. “How do I look?” “Your usual sorry self” He grinned.“Jesus, why the hell did I bother to ask?” I glanced forward through the now-open doors onto the rippling waters of the pool where I had been unceremoniously dunked and held captive by the rest of my ex-friends. Yep, I’ve officially disowned them, as of fifteen minutes ago. When they’d not allowed me out of the pool until I’d promised I’d go through with the ceremony. Which, to be honest, I had no intention of skipping.Not after I was this close.“Hey,” Michael whispered to me, “Where'd you say you got this priest from again?” Ugh! “A neighboring pack I'm in business with.” “Which one?” “It's not official pack business. It's... personal.”He chuckled and leaned away from me. I rolled my shoulders in the perfectly fitted tux that my father had produced, along with the rest of the tailored suit that I was wearing. Seemed this was his wedding gift

(Jace's POV) We’d woken up two more times in the middle of the night, seeking out each other’s bodies for pleasure, and by the time both of us roused from the bed in the morning, it was almost ten. “Good morning,” Cassandra said, rubbing her eyes as she stretched her arms, her pebbled nipples peeking through the sheet.“Morning.” And because I could, I bent down to kiss her. Just a simple kiss on the lips. “What’s on the agenda for the day, my love?”God, I liked that. “Well, babe, I was thinking we could hide away and see no one, and do absolutely nothing.”“Mmm. That sounds nice.” “Want to order in some breakfast?” I held up the service menu I’d thankfully requested the day before. And I had already ordered champagne for tonight.Might as well celebrate this marriage while we can, right? “Pancakes” Her eyes lit up as she looked at all the options. I chuckled. “Breakfast of champions. Let’s do it.”She took the menu from my hands. “Better get me a ham and cheese omelet and

The sun's rays and chirping of the birds woke her up from her peaceful slumber. Her mesmerizing eyes fluttered open and a smile crept up her face as she remembered the events of the previous night. “Hey beautiful, up already?” Jace asked. She sat up.“Morning” she yawned.He leaned in to kiss her on her forehead and handed her a glass of her favorite apple juice. Then walked into the living room, still shirtless. “You're wearing his shirt dummy” Sasha quipped before she could ask. Cassandra rolled her eyes, too happy to be upset with her wolf for being cheeky. She jumped out of bed and ran up to Jace and hugged him from behind. “Thank you,” she said. “What for?” Jace asked, pretending not to know what she was talking about. For giving me yet another great night in my entire life, she thought. “Like you don't know,” Cassandra said instead and popped a grape in her mouth. Jace chuckled. “I'll go take a shower. Be right back” she whispered. She got in the bathroom and closed t

(Cassie's POV) The late afternoon sunlight slanted through the window of the cabin and highlighted the reddish gold sparks woven through the cord.Jace backed away and I followed his progress as he sauntered over to the bed. He sat down and kicked his legs out in front of him. His thighs were powerful columns of strength and his stance was wide enough for my attention to stray right to his crotch. The way his jeans were already tented there indicated that he was already very much aroused. This man had the stamina of someone who could push himself to the limits and recover quickly enough to start all over again.When I licked my lips, his gaze narrowed. I walked over to stand in front of him, hands on my hips. He tipped his chin up and trained those flinty blue eyes on me. My stomach trembled and my heart began to race. Oh, hell, one glance from him and I'm already a goner. How the hell am I going to do this?I reached forward and pushed his blazer down his shoulders. He shrugged it

(Cassie's POV) I yawned and looked away from the TV when my laptop beeped. Summer was requesting a video chat. I chuckled and accepted it. “Hey Sum” I smiled. “Hey. Sorry, I'm calling this late. You must be getting really tired of me interrupting your honeymoon” she chuckled. If you were, I wouldn't answer. “Hey no, don't worry about it. How are you?” “Fine. I miss you two. When are you coming back home?” she whined the last part. “Soon.” “Well, I say take your time. Because it's all werewolf business when you get back—” “Oh my gosh! Guys, it's Cassandra!” I heard Isabel's shriek. I frowned. “Wait, what is she doing there at this hour, Summer?” “You won't believe me if I told you, Cass. But she and Montana are like... super close now.” My mouth dropped. “But those two can't stand each other.”“I know. But Isabel's seemed to warm up to her so.” That's not right. “¡Cassandra! Te he extrañado mucho. ¿Cuándo regresarán? (Cassandra! I've missed you so much. When are you guy
