The Alpha Detour: I Said Yes to Someone New
A week before the marking ceremony, my fiance, Alpha Mason Wallace, suddenly switches the venue to Firefly Grove.
His friends tease him. "You changed the venue just because Serena wants to see fireflies? And you didn't even tell Cora? What if she shows up at an empty site?
"Besides, Cora's the one who picked Moonlight Bay. Do you really think she'll go along with this?"
Mason says casually, "She burned her skin saving me. She won't fight me over a venue change. Besides, she planned every detail herself. She'll notice the update."
I stand outside the doorway, listening in silence. Then, I slip away without a word.
When the day finally comes, Mason calls from Firefly Grove, panic in his voice. "The ceremony's about to start. Where are you?"
I stare at the shimmer on Moonlight Bay and answer calmly, "I'm already here. My ceremony is about to start too."
