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 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
“I’m so glad you could make it,” I told Amanda. “Of course,” she said. “I want to be here to support my best friend.” The next hour passed in a bit of a blur. It seemed like I was constantly answering wedding questions from one of mine or David’s parents or talking to people that came up to our

Ella POV“You did the right thing by calling me,” Alexander said, his voice steady, reassuring. “I’ll look into the number. We’ve already got heavy security for the wedding, so I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. This doesn’t really qualify as a threat—more of a warning.”“It’s just... it
As Alexander’s voice grew more tense, my unease deepened. “A meeting?” I repeated, the faint background chatter growing louder in my mind. I knew that second voice, but I couldn’t place it. Something about it made me uneasy.“Yes,” he said firmly, a trace of irritation slipping through his usually c
Ella POVI answered the phone as I walked through the upper levels of the shopping center. Alexander's warm voice greeted me, and my mind drifted for a moment to the first day we officially met. It had been in his office building, on the day this very shopping center opened.Back then, Alexander had
Ella POV“It’s a beautiful gown,” Antonio Kingsman said, scrolling through the pictures on my phone. “But is it stunning enough for a bride being married at a castle?”“What do you mean?” I asked, a flicker of defensiveness creeping into my tone. “Are you saying the dress isn’t glamorous enough?”“I
Alexander POVWedding planning was far more complicated than I’d ever imagined. How anyone managed to do this on their own was beyond me.Ella had mentioned, after I asked, that David had been no help at all with planning her first wedding. I wasn’t surprised to hear it, but I was annoyed nonetheles
The Briar Rose Pack was well-respected and prominent, and there was no reason for the Alpha King to disapprove of Damian’s interest in Elizabeth. But politics had a way of complicating even the simplest matters of the heart, and Elizabeth’s world was nothing if not political.Love, unfortunately, wa

Ella POV I didn’t know how long I cried as my mother rubbed my back and whispered comforting words, but it must have been a while. By the time I managed to pull myself together, we were already home. My emotions still felt raw, but I excused myself and went upstairs to my room. Sadness gave way
“He certainly would,” I agreed. A text notification chimed on my phone, and Alexander’s name lit up the screen. I opened the message immediately. Alexander: She had fun. Thank you. Me: You’re welcome. Alexander: Do you really love the dress you chose today? Me: It’s very nice. Alexander:
