Mated to My Intended's Enemy
Before I could answer—before I could find my voice to protest or agree—Leo spoke, his deep voice carrying across the hushed gathering.
"I, Leonard Moretti, claim Victoria Howlthorne as my mate, my Luna, my equal in all things. I pledge to protect her, provide for her, and honor her as the mother of my children and the heart of my pack."
My heart thundered in my chest as realization crashed over me. This wasn't just some business arrangement or debt settlement—Leo was claiming me as his true mate, his Luna. The same man who had touched me so intimately at the club, who had made me feel things I'd never experienced before, was now binding himself to me before his entire pack.
