(Aaron POV)Once we were safely inside the war room with the door closed, the human pointed to my father. “Who is he?” she asked, nervously.“My father.”“Ok.”“Before we get started, would you be upset if I react like a human for a moment? I don’t understand werewolf culture or hierarchy, and I suspect you will be upset by my reaction, but I don’t think I will be able to concentrate if I don’t do something first.”I looked at her puzzled. “Sure, go ahead.”The human slapped me hard across the face. “I am not a d—n hooker, and how dare you talk to me as if I was one.”My dad chuckled. “She did ask first, Son.”I sighed. “I know you aren’t a hooker, and I’m sorry. I had to come up with something quickly, and it fit the conversation we had in the car.”I gestured for her to take a seat, which she did.“Now tell me why you are here. You’ve been awfully cryptic so far. All I know so far is that you somehow know Cassie.”“My name is Maggie. I don’t know much, but I know Cassie a

(Aaron POV) I looked through the files on the phone, and found one labeled, “Play me.” I placed the phone on speaker, and did as instructed. There were parts of the audio that were easier to hear than others, but thanks to our werewolf hearing, we were able to make out almost all of it. My father and I took turns growling until we reached the part where Danny confronted Cassie, and then the growling was 100% me. When the recording was over, my father and I sat in silence for about ten minutes, with both of us processing our thoughts. My father was the first one to break the silence. “The Moon Goddess doesn’t make mistakes. That girl was specifically chosen to be part of our pack. Thank goddess she was in the right place at the right time, and that she was smart enough to find a way to get the information to us.” “Do you think she was sincere about being interested in Danny?” I couldn’t believe that was the first thing I said after listening to the audio, but it was almost as

(Cassie POV)On Wednesday night, just when I thought all hope was lost, my parents lit into me for an hour in front of my sister, Alpha Fred, and Danny. I had never been so grateful.Specifically, my parents were upset that I had slept in Danny’s room on Tuesday night. They told me that they did not care who he was; until he was my husband, I wasn’t going to be his “whore of the night.” They told me that, if I wanted to play that role, I could move back to the human town. Until then, while I lived under their roof, I was going to be respectful and follow their rules.To my surprise, Danny didn’t try to fight them about it. He simply kissed me on the forehead, promised me that we would be married soon enough, and told me and Alpha Fred had a lot of things to do anyway.After that crisis was diverted, Megan dragged me upstairs to her bedroom and locked the door. “What is going on between you and Danny?” she demanded.I desperately wanted to tell her the truth, but given Mike’s rol

(Jason POV) The past week has been one of the hardest weeks in my entire life. The last time I saw my mate she was angry and in tears because I blamed her for something she didn’t do; the last time I talked to my mate was by text message when she told me that she wasn’t sure how to feel; and the last time I had any type of contact with her at all was when I felt her kissing another man on Tuesday night. Since Tuesday night, I have been going out of my way to stay busy and avoid uncomfortable conversations with pack leadership about where things stand with Cassie. Right now, my plan –my only plan—is to attend her sister’s wedding and pray to the Goddess that she will talk to me. I feel like I’ve never had so much riding on a single wedding; not even the one involving Alpha Blake and Josephine. It's funny to think about how much I have changed in the few short weeks that I have known Cassie. Growing up, Aaron and I both “sowed our wild oats,” although in different ways. For me,

(Cassie POV)Finally, the day of Megan’s wedding has arrived. I am an absolute, complete, nervous wreck.Did Aaron get the package? Did he open it? Was he able to do anything with the information? Did I do enough? Should I have done more?Will anyone die tonight? Will Alpha Fred be successful in taking over Blue Moon pack? What will life be like there if he does? Will anyone survive?Will my mate be OK? I still don’t know what the future holds for Jason and I, but I do care about him. I don’t want anything to happen to him. How sad would it be for him to pass on before he’s had an opportunity to experience the love of a mate, whether that mate is me or a second chance.What will the future look like for other packs and the werewolf community generally if Alpha Fred is successful? Aaron’s friend, Alpha Ryan, is likely to be targeted next. Will members of his pack be hurt?The more I think through all these questions, the more I wish I had done something more to help. What

(Jason POV)It is a small miracle that I make it through the wedding ceremony without losing my s---t. I think the only thing keeping me calm about my mate situation is that I am distracted by whatever is going on with Aaron and our pack. Meanwhile, the only thing keeping me calm about whatever is going on with Aaron and our pack is that I am distracted by Cassie and trying to find an opportunity to approach her.With the ceremony complete, we follow the crowd of people to the area designated for the reception. As we do so, we engage in small talk with a few other alphas and betas in attendance. Aaron seems completely distracted now, even more so than he was before we arrived. His eyes seem like they are constantly scrolling through the crowd, and a couple of times I sense fleeting waves of worry emanating from him. A few times, I see him and Alpha Ryan exchange brief looks. I know they cannot mindlink because they are part of separate packs, but they seem to be communicating s

(Cassie POV)Doing the “grand entrance” into the reception hall with Danny glued to my side was torture. I still didn’t know whether Aaron had received the package, and even if he did, I didn’t know if there was a plan on how to deal with it. I was scared that Jason would believe that I welcomed Danny’s advances or that I encouraged them. At the same time, this was my little sister’s wedding and I knew how incredibly dangerous the situation was. Even if Maggie had failed in the mission I sent her on, I had to play along with Danny until I came up with a better plan.Had this been two months ago, I know exactly what I would have done: run away. In fact, had this been two months ago, I may not have even been here right now. It’s funny how quickly things can change. Instead of planning how to take care of myself, I find myself far more focused on how to protect the packs and people that I love and respect. I credit my mating with Jason for the changes in me. Although Jason and

(Aaron POV) We knew that Danny had plans to make sure Cassie rejected Jason tonight, but no one knew what those plans were. When Candy walked in and kissed Jason, it was pretty easy to figure out what had happened and who was behind it all. It was also pretty easy to fake being mad at Jason for the situation, because the truth was, I still was. Jason never should have bedded that she-wolf. He jumped to conclusions about Cassie without giving Cassie a chance to explain. He of all people should have known better; what he did was almost the same thing that Allison did to me years ago. When I saw the hurt and pain in Cassie’s eyes, I almost said “f—k it” and bailed on the careful plans we had laid out. Goddess knows, I wanted to. I desperately wanted to comfort Cassie and tell her it was almost over. But I couldn’t. Not yet. I had expected Jason to blow up, but even I could not have expected Jason to blow up quite as spectacularly as he did. Challenging both Alpha Fred and fut

My Mate's Wedding Drama Author's Note
And that is a wrap! I hope you all have enjoyed the journey. I will definitely miss these characters. They definitely took on personalities of their own as we went along. I cannot tell you how many times I sat down planning to write one thing, only to find the characters demanding we go a different direction. Thankfully, we will still get glimpses of the key characters in Book 2, which will focus on the Moon Goddess's decision to pair Maggie and Alpha Paul. That book will also pick up where this book left off, in terms of Bobby and the Moonlight Six. I plan to start Book 2 in a few weeks, after I take some time off for a couple of family vacations. Thank you all for reading!!! If you have enjoyed the journey, please leave a gem and/or positive review!
My Mate's Wedding Drama Epilogue
(2 ½ months later)(Jason POV)The last few months have been an absolute whirlwind, but I can honestly say that I have never been happier.After our big fight the night of Duncan and Moira’s cake-tasting, Paige and I stayed up for hours talking… and fighting… and making up again. We realized that we both like to be challenged, and once we both agreed to take rejection completely off the table, we found that we are really good at being one another’s “safe place” to have heated or difficult conversations.Instead of Theo flying out to Texas, Paige decided that we should go back to Blue Moon together. She arranged for other wedding planners to handle all of her Texas weddings except for Moira and Duncan’s. She understandably wanted to keep their wedding, but everything left to do could be done remotely until the weekend of the wedding itself. Once we are a bit more settled, she plans to open a part-time wedding planning business just outside Blue Moon territory.... at which she wil
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 109: My Idiot
(Paige POV) Neither Jason nor I said anything to each other on the way home from the bakery. It was just as well. Thankfully, Moira did not seem angry about Duncan and Jason leaving… and we were able to successfully pick flavors for their wedding cake… but the whole thing was still embarrassing and unprofessional. The moment we walked into my apartment, Jason headed to the kitchen. He peeked inside the refrigerator and calmly asked me what I wanted to eat for dinner. “Really? That is the first thing that you are going to say to me? Not ‘I’m sorry for embarrassing you,’ or ‘I’m sorry for having my head up my a— since you got back’ or ‘How did the rest of your tasting go? I hope I didn’t cost you a couple of clients.’ Hell, at this point, I’d even take ‘Hey, Baby, I’m craving tacos, does that sound good to you?’” “Why do I feel like you are itching for a fight, Paige?” “Maybe because I am, Jason! I cannot live this way anymore!!!” Jason turned around and glared at me. “Liv
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 108: Jason & Duncan
(Paige POV)So it turns out that Jason not only upgraded my flight to first-class… he booked himself a ticket as well. Jason explained that he had decided that he was going to go where I went for the rest of my life… or until I rejected him for the third and final time. He also told me that his plan was for Theo to stay with Jason’s parents for the first couple of weeks, and then —if I had not kicked him out yet— Theo would come and join us.But for everything else, I probably would have found Jason’s decision to come to Texas with me to be a really sweet gesture.However, over the next week, Jason’s behavior continued to be bizarre. Worse, his constant presence began to feel suffocating and overwhelming. Even Carly, who loved having her mate nearby, was becoming concerned.Among other weird things, Jason:—continued to insist on making me breakfast in bed every. single. day. I could not even grab a piece of toast or a granola bar without Jason freaking out. —refused to disagree
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 107: The De-Brief
(Paige POV) As I get on the airplane, my heart feels heavy. I know that I need to get back to Texas, but even after spending the morning talking to Jason and most of the afternoon de-briefing with everyone else, things still just feel… unsettled. I had hoped that talking to Jason would give me some better insight on our relationship… but more than anything, this morning felt…. awkward. In addition to bizarrely shaving his head and insisting on serving me breakfast in bed, Jason spent almost the entirety of our conversation either apologizing or agreeing with everything that I said. It sort-of felt like I was talking to a wall; the normal, opinionated Jason was not there. As much as the normal, opinionated Jason irritates me at times, I could not help but wonder where he was. I definitely like the normal Jason better than the shell of a wolf that he was this morning. Oh, well. At least if I am going to have a heavy heart on my flight back, I will be comfortable. (Somehow, my
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 106: Big News
(Cassie POV) I wake up to Josephine’s voice in my head. “Cassie, Sweetheart?” I moan. “I am sleeping. What is up, Josephine?” “It is one o’clock the afternoon.” “One in the morning?” I respond back groggily. “No, Sweetheart. It’s the middle of the afternoon.” “That’s not possible,” I groan. “We did not get home until five o’clock.” “Five o’clock yesterday, Baby.” Realization hits me. I must have been more tired than I realized. The last thing I remember was having a hot shower with Aaron, eating more food than I want to admit to eating, having a second round with Aaron in our bed, and then asking Aaron if we could talk after a took a quick nap. Apparently that nap was the longest nap ever. I try to stretch my arms, but one arm hits something hard. I blink open my eyes and see Aaron laying on his side, with one arm supporting his head as he stares at me. He smiles as soon as our eyes meet. “Good morning, Sweetheart,” he says. “Good morning, Aaron,” I smile back at
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 105: Reunion, Part 2
(Paige POV) When we finally made it back to Blue Moon, my emotions were a muddled mess: —I was relieved to be back. —I was happy to be alive and unharmed. —I felt both sad and betrayed about everything involving my sister. —I was horrified about having watched my sister be murdered in front of me. —I was scared and nervous to see Jason again, after having rejected him for the second time less than a week ago. —I was still upset with Jason for having knocked up my best friend. —I was still in shock that Granny Apple played a role in Sarah getting pregnant. Complicating my mess of emotions even more was the reality that I was hungry, dehydrated, and exhausted. When I saw Aaron race from the packhouse to greet Cassie, my heart felt happy for the two of them… and a little jealous too. I could not help but wonder if Jason and I would ever get to that point, or if my happiness —like that of Aaron and Cassie— would be found in the arms of a second chance mate. Carly growled in
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 104: Reunion, Part 1
(Aaron POV) As soon as I heard that Cassie was at the border, I took off running. I shifted into my wolf in order to run faster, not caring that I was shredding my clothes in the process. I did not bother to mind-link anyone; I knew my father would do so. All I cared about was getting to Cassie. I reached Cassie within just a few minutes. I was vaguely aware that Paige, a baby, and a few of our border guards were standing nearby, but no one else mattered to me in that moment. I quickly shifted back to my human form and wrapped Cassie up in my arms. I am not ashamed to admit that —as I clung to her as though my life depended on it— I buried my head in her neck and cried. They were happy tears, but tears all the same. For her part, Cassie clung to me just as much if not more than I clung to her. I could feel her tears on my bare shoulder, so I knew she was crying just like I was. After a couple of minutes, I finally —although reluctantly— pulled away from her just a little bi
My Mate's Wedding Drama Chapter 103: Natalie's Dress
(24 hours earlier)(Cassie POV)“I… I have so many questions,” I tell Bobby after listening to his story.“I do, too,” Paige whispers. I glance at her and can tell that she is in shock. So much of what she has thought and believed for the past several years has been turned upside down in the matter of a single 10-minute conversation. “I’ll answer what I can until Shelly gets here.”“After all Shelly and the Moonlight Six did to you… why are you dating Shelly?”“Keep your friends close; your enemies closer,” Bobby responds as though it is nothing.“Don’t you feel like you are… cheating on your mate?” Paige asks.If my handcuffs would allow it, I would reach over and slap Paige upside the head. Seriously, that was the first question she asked Bobby? I remind myself that she is in shock and going through a lot, but I also chuckle a little bit as I realize Jason would likely have asked the same question.Instead of answering Paige, Bobby growls angrily. Paige seems to realize her
