War of Threes
The three of us turn to Declan, holding hands and smiling through our tears.
Declan is smiling broadly at us. He stretches out his hands, palms up to the sky as the moon begins to crest over the trees. “The Holy Mother has blessed your union and willingly combines these three bloodlines into one. By the power that the Moon Goddess, Selene, has given me and as oracle of the Diana Pack, I know give you Alpha Gael Guia, Luna Meredith Guia, and Beta Hakeem Guia! You may now kiss.”
I pull both Hakeem and Meredith into my body, bending my mouth to Hakeem’s first and then to Meredith’s. I watch, smiling, as they kiss each other and hear the wolves around us clap, stomp, and howl their approval.
