"I don't even know how we brothers ended up marrying you two troublemakers. No one cares if you wanted to reject us! No one is begging you to stay!" When the call ended, Violette collapsed into my arms, her suppressed sobs tearing my heart. We held a funeral for the two lost children near the pack hospital. No one else attended besides Violette and I. Violette held my cold hand. "Don't be sad. Maybe our children didn't want a father like that, and that's why they left as angels." Memories flooded back when I saw the matching Duskhaven Pack totem rings on our hands. On our wedding day, the Crimsonmoon Pack cheered, saying we were lucky to be blessed by the Moon Goddess.

Mum spoke first. “The Moon marks what is broken and returns it made whole. We honor her law today.” She looked between Cowrie and her groom, then Gavin and Sariah, then Ruhan and me. “Three vows. One for bond, one for peace, one for rule.” Cowrie went first. “I vow to guard what is mine and take what is offered in trust.” Her husband repeated it. Mum nodded. Gavin spoke next. “I vow to shield what is mine and serve where I am needed.”

Holding hands, Dawn and Malachi stood opposite one another. Elder Raymond announced, "We are here today to honor these two as they embark on their path to becoming mates. Mates are sacred, a unique connection bestowed upon us by our revered moon goddess. Our devotion to the Moon goddess will be challenged, and we are expected to accept our destined mates. This is a gift we should treasure always during our time on Earth. Malachi Edwards, do you accept Dawn Black as your lifelong mate, to hold dear and cherish from this moment forward? “I do,” Malachi said.

Instead, he fell to his knees, seeking pity, but I was done giving him any. "Rose, you can't base your decision only on Helen's feelings. I know I've wronged your friend, but our marriage is on the line if we don't talk tonight. Please, save our marriage," Williams pleaded. I expected Rose to fall for his lies, to consider saving his so-called marriage. A marriage that was never real to my gay husband. Unexpectedly, Rose yelled at him. Get out, Mr. Williams. Whatever you did to my friend, she doesn't want to see you again!" Rose's anger, a force I'd missed, sent Williams scurrying to the door. Rose, relentless, rushed after him, forcefully pushing him out.

I was really experiencing conflicting emotions, yet I was still looking forward to today. My Luna and I arrived at the summit of a mountain at my clan, and seeing her there made me incredibly pleased, even though I knew she would eventually become mine. I was walking towards her when I suddenly felt a piercing ache and realized that a sword had cut through me. We both looked at each other before I clung to the ground and cried, wondering " why was this happening?”

My first mate, a figure I had trusted implicitly, concealed his treacherous intentions beneath a façade of loyalty. As the moon goddess's blessings were invoked, sealing the pact with an ethereal glow, I could not fathom the darkness that lingered in the shadows. It was when the vows were exchanged that the betrayal unfurled its wings. In a chilling twist of fate, my mate turned executioner, ruthlessly slaying my family and the esteemed members of our royal lineage.

With care, Tritan licked and gently sucked the wound, his actions speaking volumes of his commitment. Simultaneously, with his free hand, Tritan began to sign the bonding oath, a solemn declaration that had nothing to do with romantic feelings, but one of steadfast commitment, protection, and partnership. It was an oath akin to that of sworn blood brothers, a pledge that transcended mere words. As Finrir watched with perfect clarity, finrir cried, pearly white tears of happiness seeped from his eyes dispersing into the water, witnessing his hopes and dreams materialize before his very eyes.

Five more minutes and he will kiss her again. “Tristan ,” Zoey said and looked into Tristan's eyes. ”In faith, honesty, and love, take you to be my mate and my Alpha. I pledge to share with you Goddess' plan for our lives together. For better, for worse, in sickness and in health, in joys and in sorrows, until death do us apart. I promise you all of this and more with Goddess’ help to strengthen and guide me as your supportive Luna . I give you all that I have myself and my love. All these things I pledge to thee in the name of our Moon Goddess.

Alexander lit it from her amber lantern. The flame flickered silver blue on the water’s surface. Isabelle raised her arms, reciting the injunction they had transcribed together: “By water’s truth and flame’s release, We pledge our bond in love and peace. Ember reborn by heart’s free will in unity, our covenant fulfill.”

Dirk declared, his face flushed with emotion, a broad grin adorning his features. Elder Matthias then addressed Tricc, "Tricc, do you pledge your love and loyalty to Dirk, Kurt, and Seth, promising to stand by them through all trials and triumphs?" Gazing at Dirk with adoration, Tricc responded, "In this moment, I offer my heart to Dirk, Kurt, and Seth. Together, we shall weather storms and revel in love's warmth. I vow to be their pillar, their confidant, their eternal companion," his eyes locked with Dirk's, his emotions evident.
