Ella POVOver the next few days, I looked into all of the Gammas we had talked about before, and I found absolutely no indication that any of them were disloyal, which honestly left me feeling a little more nervous. Whoever the traitor was, they were hiding well.I also periodically checked my mess
Ella POVIn my last life, I had naively believed that opening travel routes to the North would be a good thing and that it would bring opportunity to our pack. But now I had seen enough as a Luna to know that the North couldn't be trusted.There was far too much rogue activity to safely open a trave
Ella POVI had no words to reply to Alexander’s ridiculous request, but I desperately needed his help. If this was what it took...Besides, if I could force myself to kiss someone who completely disgusted me, there should be no problem with kissing someone that I genuinely found attractive. I had no

Ella POV Alexander’s bright eyes were fixed on me, and a smile was pulling at his lips. He was obviously trying to get a rise out of me, and it was working. He was also making David angry, which was a bonus. “I’m not the only one that’s happily in love, though, am I? Congratulations again on yo
Ella POV Alexander carried me up the stairs and into our room, only setting me back on my feet after crossing the threshold. By then, I was breathless with laughter, my heart pounding in my chest from both exhilaration and the effects of the champagne. He closed the door behind us, turning back
“Yes,” I said simply. His sharp scoff startled me, and for a moment, I felt the sting of his reaction. But before I could say anything, he reached for my hand, his expression softening. “You spent your whole life dreaming of that day, only for that bastard David to turn it into a miserable exper
Third Person POV “Damn her! Damn her! Damn her!” Amanda screamed, slamming the door behind her. The wedding guests were gone, though it was still early. They had fled, repelled by the tension radiating off David like a storm cloud. People had known, had sensed, that he was furious. And no amount
Everyone seemed to be having an incredibly good time, which was all I could have hoped for. I wanted this to be a night to remember, one that would leave people thinking fondly of Ella, of myself, and of our bond. Positive memories like these would be invaluable in countering the wave of negative
Third Person POV "This can't possibly be all there is," David spat angrily, gripping the balcony railing as he glared down at the meager crowd of guests gathered below. The small assembly consisted solely of members of his own pack and Amanda's, and the sight made his blood boil. "We were suppos
Ella POV I stood in the dimly lit hallway, waiting for my moment to walk down the aisle. My nerves were strung so tightly that I felt as though they might snap. I had just watched Elizabeth depart, arm in arm with Michael who was Alexander’s best man. She looked absolutely stunning in her baby-b
“When you say strange things, what exactly do you mean?” Elizabeth’s expression darkened. “They seem to have ties to some very questionable people. In fact, I believe I may have found some correspondence between them and Dr. McIntyre.” My stomach dropped. “Are you saying David isn’t the one behi
Ella POV The next morning at the Castle, doubt still clung to me like a heavy fog. The last time I’d gone through with a wedding, I’d known in my heart it would end in disaster. This time, it wasn’t certainty that haunted me—it was uncertainty. Last night, I was convinced that I had placed the
The rehearsal dinner wasn’t a grand event—just an intimate gathering of those directly involved in the ceremony. Our families were here, along with August, Elizabeth, Andrew, and the priestess who would officiate the wedding. “It’s good of you to join us,” Diana said with a teasing smile. “I’m s
