I think he’s the best one for you.” For a moment, I couldn’t speak, the weight of his words settling over me. Marriage. It wasn’t something I had considered, not since Liam was born.

The real smile arriving the way it always did — unhurried, unannounced, worth everything. “Three weeks,” he said. “Three weeks,” I confirmed. And just like that, with Julian Reyes in custody and two families breathing for the first time in twenty two years and a marriage tha

Besides, planning a wedding is less stressful than preparing for a war. A smaller more intimate wedding would have been ideal for us but we both understood that our union is a declaration. After centuries of bad blood, a vampire king is marrying a shifter Alpha. This is going to ruffle feathers and we are going to face everyone opposing us being together head on. We’ve fought a literal war to be together and we know that there will always be people that think our love is an abomination.

I can save my father and my pack, I can defeat my enemies. But at what cost? Marriage to my worst enemy. "And all I have to do is marry you?" "All you have to do is fulfill the promise your parents made. Honor the contract they signed in blood." I remain staring at him, trying to figure out what to do. But the answer has never been so clear in my head. “Fine,’’ I say, like a death sentence. “I’ll marry you.’’

“But their marriage provided stability and more forces—” “Enough.” I don’t want some poor woman to be stuck with me, her life ruined just because we all want more power and money. “Okay, but your enemies don’t share your opinion, and Marcello allying with the Icardis isn’t a small thing.” “I’m aware of that.” It’s not always good to have partners and allies, especially if their opinions differ from yours.

Just get your marriage certificate now!
