LOGINThat night, long after the last of the guests had left for their rooms, Andrew and I returned to the presidential suite to find that the staff had decorated it in preparation for our stay. All the décor, right down to the bed sheets, had been switched out for matching red and gold pieces. The light
Andrew’s eyes met mine as I approached the altar. He smiled at me, and I smiled back. He looked so handsome in his classic black tuxedo that I could hardly wait for after the reception to be with him. As I took my place across from Andrew, I handed my bouquet to Lily. The priestess bega
One month later, I stood in a suite at a private beachside resort, admiring my wedding dress. It hugged my curves in all the right places while still gently brushing against the ground like a low-hanging cloud. Crystals glistened in the room’s fluorescent lights, and the train flowed behind me effor
“Let’s continue this in the bedroom,” I said, breathless. Andrew nodded his agreement. I pulled Andrew to his feet as he stuck the ring box back in his pocket. Then I dragged him back to the bedroom, leading him by the tie. Not that he needed to be dragged; he would have followed me anywhere by th

“Yeah, I’m fine,” I said, acutely aware of one of the braver security guards edging his way towards us, “but we need to get out of here, now.” Andrew’s eyes darted about the crowd, then he nodded. He leapt to his feet, grabbed my hand, and shoved his way through the gathered mass before the secu
I left immediately for the Alpha King’s mansion after hanging up my call with Andrew. Anxiety ate at my stomach the closer that I got to the mansion, but there was no turning back now.
