My Mate Chose Her Over Our Pup
"Elias Blackridge, do you take this woman, Sandra Moonridge, as your mate, your Queen, and your partner, to stand by her side always and forever?"
"I do," his voice was just as firm, but held a slight tremor.
The tremor of pure happiness.
The shaman wrapped a silver chain around our joined hands.
"In the name of the Moon Goddess, I now declare you mates. From this day forward, you will carry the future of our kind together."
The hall erupted in thunderous applause.
But my attention wasn't on the cheers.
I looked into Elias's eyes and saw the glint of tears.
This strong man, this Alpha who never cried, was now trembling with emotion like a child.
