The Alpha’s Shadow Luna
I wasn't ready for what was coming.
I lingered longer than I'd meant to, watching dusk gather. When I finally returned, the hall had filled even more. I made it halfway through the crowd before I saw them. Mary had taken my place on the bench, radiant in the firelight, her hair perfectly arranged to look effortless. Shane sat beside her, knees nearly touching, and for once he wasn't looking away. He was focused, every muscle aimed toward her.
Mary noticed me—she always did. She raised a hand, her smile a victory banner. "Leah! There you are. I was beginning to think you'd left for good."
