Desired Mate
“Thank you. You don’t look too bad yourself.”
His lips quirked into a small smile, but before he could respond, Durmas, the castle priest, stepped forward to address the crowd.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we gather tonight to celebrate the union of our King and his Luna, a bond that will strengthen not only our pack but our legacy.”
The crowd erupted into cheers, and I felt a wave of emotion wash over me. Kane’s grip on my hand tightened slightly, grounding me.
Durmas continued, “Before we proceed, our King has requested a traditional pre-mating ceremony, a time-honored ritual that binds their spirits under the light of the moon. Let the festivities begin!”
