I accompany the Luna of the north and my future mother-in-law, Willow Joynes, on a cruise for a vacation.
A high-pitched, feminine voice resounds behind us not long after we make our way to the deck.
"Who gave you permission to be here? Moonshine is reserved for noble wolves. Rogues have no business being on this cruise ship!"
I turn around and see a she-wolf clad in a tailored gown and dazzling jewelry. She marches toward us and lets out a scoff after she scrutinizes Willow’s plain clothes and mine.
"Whose maids are you? Or did you sneak onto the ship? How repulsive. The Moon Goddess blessed this part of the sea, and yet it's been tainted with the stench of poverty that both of you reek of."
My expression immediately turns cold.
"Moonshine is open to all invited patrons," I say. "If you don't like looking at other wolves, you should buy your own cruise ship."
The she-wolf's expression darkens. She points an accusing finger at me and exclaims, "Do you have any idea who you're speaking to, you bitch? I'm Beatrice Quillo, and my mate is the future Alpha of the north! This entire stretch of sea is his territory. The luxury suite on this ship is open only to me!
"Get on your knees and grovel for my forgiveness right now. If you don't, I'll teach you the consequences of getting on my bad side."
Willow and I frown as we exchange glances.
It's true that this part of the sea belongs to the north. However, the future Alpha of the north, Julian Layton, is Willow's only son—as well as the wolf I'm about to be mated with.
When did Julian get another mate?
