*MARY’S POV*

My breath hitched, and I felt the sincerity behind his words. The playful glint in his eyes faded, replaced with something deeper, something I hadn’t seen before. We stood there, close enough to feel each other’s warmth, the silence filling with words we didn’t say.

But, as quickly as the moment appeared, it slipped away. Josh straightened, stepping back with a soft smile. “Thanks for checking on me,” he said, his voice gentle but with that usual humor tucked in at the edges. “Guess I owe you one.”

I managed a small smile, trying to ignore the lingering flutter in my chest. “Yeah, you do,” I replied, raising an eyebrow. “Next time, maybe try not to mess with my head?”

He laughed, holding up his hands in surrender. “Deal. But only if you keep coming to check up on me.”

And with that, I walked out of his office, still feeling his hand on my waist, his face close to mine, the sound of his laughter in my ears. And though I’d never admit it, a part of me was already looking fo

    *BRIANNE’S POV*As I pushed open the door, the familiar scent of breakfast hit me—eggs, toast, and the faint hint of coffee. My parents were up, of course. They were always early risers, and I could hear the murmur of their voices coming from the kitchen.I tried to sneak in quietly, hoping to make it to my room before they noticed. Maybe if I could avoid the inevitable interrogation, I could decompress from all the Josh-induced chaos. But of course, the floorboard near the kitchen door creaked loudly as I stepped in, announcing my presence like a trumpet.“Mary, is that you?” my mom called from the kitchen.I winced, caught in the act. “Yeah, Mom, it’s me.”I walked into the kitchen, trying to act casual, but the second my mom saw me, her eyes narrowed in that way only mothers can do. She set down the spatula she was using to flip eggs and gave me a look, the kind that said she could read my entire soul with one glance.“You look flustered,” she said, eyebrow raised. “Something happe

    *MARY’S POV*Thinking back to when Josh and I first met, I can’t help but smile—and cringe a little. It was at the full moon ceremony, a night filled with lights, music, and the pack celebrating under the stars. Brianne and I had gone together, dressed in our best outfits, giggling like schoolgirls as we walked through the crowd. That night felt magical, like anything could happen.I remember the moment I saw him. I didn’t know who he was at first, just another guy at the ceremony, walking alongside Alpha Jordyn. He had that easy-going smile, the kind that makes you feel like he’s always up to something, and it drew me in.Brianne had introduced him to me as Jordyn’s assistant. He had this confident, almost cocky air about him, like he knew exactly what he was doing. “Oh, the pretty ladies have started coming.” he’d said, with that teasing grin I’ve now come to know so well.“Thank you,” I’d said quickly, though I’d felt completely out of place. He’d tilted his head, giving me a playf

    *MARY’S POV*I parked the car and stepped out into the crisp afternoon air, feeling a bit lighter after the drive. The café Brianne and I always met at was cozy, with warm lights glowing through the windows and the smell of freshly brewed coffee wafting out every time someone opened the door. I smiled, thinking about how good it would feel to sit down with Brianne and catch up. Maybe I’d be able to unload some of this Josh-related chaos that had been taking up too much space in my brain lately.But as I opened the café door and stepped inside, my heart skipped a beat.There, sitting at a table near the window, wasn’t just Brianne. Oh no. It was Brianne, Jordyn, and JOSH?!I froze for a moment, my hand still on the door handle. What was he doing here?Brianne spotted me first and waved, giving me her usual warm smile. She looked relieved to see me, like she really needed the company. Jordyn nodded in my direction, and then there was Josh. He leaned back in his chair, casually sipping o

    *MARY’S POV*As she walked away, I was left alone with Josh and Jordyn. Fantastic. The air between us felt thick with unspoken things, and I desperately wished Brianne would hurry back.Josh didn’t waste a second. “So, about earlier…” he began, his grin still firmly in place.I cut him off, my face burning. “Don’t. Even. Start.”Jordyn, sensing that this was his cue to step back, stood up. “I think I’ll grab us some more coffee.” He shot Josh a knowing look before disappearing into the crowd.Traitor.Josh watched me, clearly enjoying how flustered I was. “Come on, Mary. Admit it. You’ve thought about it.”“Thought about what?” I shot back, my voice a little too high-pitched.His grin widened. “You know exactly what.”I stared at him, unsure whether to throw my coffee at him or… something else. But before I could make a decision, Brianne returned, thankfully breaking the moment.“Everything good?” she asked, sitting down and completely oblivious to the awkwardness that had just unfold

    *MARY’S POV*As we wrapped up, Brianne stretched and glanced at the time. “I should probably get going. I promised my mom I’d help with something today.”Jordyn nodded and stood, reaching for her hand. “I’ll drive you home.”Josh stood too, giving me a sideways glance. “You need a ride?”I blinked, trying to process his offer. “Uh, yeah, sure. If it’s not too much trouble.”“No trouble at all,” he said, his tone light but his eyes glinting with something playful. “Besides, wouldn’t want you getting lost on your way home.”I rolled my eyes but followed him out of the café, my heart pounding in my chest. As we walked toward his car, I couldn’t help but think back to our earlier almost-kiss, and the way he had teased me about it. He was infuriating, yes, but there was also something about him that made me feel… excited.Maybe Brianne and Jordyn were right. Maybe there was something between us.But I wasn’t about to admit that. Not yet, anyway.As we walked out of the café, the late after

    *MARY’S POV*“You’re impossible,” I said, shaking my head, but I couldn’t help the smile spreading across my face.“And you love it,” he replied confidently“So, was I charming enough this time?”I snorted, settling into the passenger seat. “You wish. I barely survived the teasing.”Josh chuckled, the rumble of his laughter mixing with the hum of the engine as we pulled away from the curb. “Oh, you survived alright. But admit it, you enjoy it. It’s the highlight of your day.”I rolled my eyes, turning to look out the window. “Highlight? Please. More like an endurance test.”He grinned, eyes briefly flicking to me before returning to the road. “And yet, here you are. Voluntarily sitting next to me. Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?”“I’m only here because I don’t feel like walking home,” I shot back, trying to keep my voice steady, though the flutter in my stomach told a different story.Josh hummed in thought. “Uh-huh. That’s the story you’re sticking to, huh?”I crossed my arms over my c

    *JOSH’S POV*I watched her walk up to the front door, her hair bouncing with each step, and for some reason, I couldn’t wipe the stupid grin off my face. Mary always had that effect on me. She could drive me absolutely insane, but I liked it. No, I loved it. The banter, the teasing—it was all part of the weird connection we had.The car was silent, the soft glow of the streetlight barely reaching through the window as she disappeared inside. My fingers drummed against the steering wheel, and for a moment, I let myself sink into the quiet.What is it about her?We’d known each other for a while now. From that first full moon ceremony where she’d stumbled into me, lost and flustered, to now, with her sitting in my passenger seat pretending she wasn’t just as rattled by our almost-kiss as I was. She tried to play it cool, but I could feel her tension. Hell, I could feel mine.That almost-kiss… I hadn’t planned on it. Well, maybe a part of me had. When I grabbed her waist back at the offi

    *JOSH’S POV*I couldn’t help but think about the way she looked at me at the café, how her teasing about Brianne and Jordyn had that undercurrent of truth. Like she was genuinely happy for them, but maybe there was something else there, something unsaid. And when Jordyn had turned the tables and teased her about me? Her cheeks flushed, and she got all flustered, trying to laugh it off.That was the moment it hit me. Maybe she felt the same. Maybe she’d been hiding behind the teasing, just like I was. I mean, why else would she react the way she did?I stood up, pacing the length of the kitchen. My mind raced, running through a million different scenarios. Should I just tell her? Make a move, stop dancing around whatever this was? But what if I was wrong? What if all this was just in my head, and she was just being Mary—playful, goofy, and completely oblivious to the fact that I’d fallen for her?I ran my fingers through my hair again, groaning in frustration. I’d never been this wrapp

    *MARY'S POV*We stood there for a moment, wrapped up in the quiet understanding between us, the noise of the celebration around us fading into the background. It was just the two of us, finally on the same page, finally admitting what we had known all along.Josh pulled me into his arms then, holding me tightly, and for a moment, it felt like the world outside of us didn’t exist. There was just this feeling of completeness, of knowing that we had found something rare, something worth holding on to.“Mary,” Josh murmured against my hair. “I don’t care what happens or how crazy life gets. As long as we’re together, nothing else matters.”I nodded against his chest, my heart full. “Together,” I repeated, the word feeling like a promise, like something unbreakable.We stood there, holding each other, the world going on around us, but for a brief, perfect moment, it felt like time had stopped. And when I pulled back to look at him, his eyes were filled with something deeper than just affect

    *BRIANNE'S POV*We moved closer to the altar, where a silver chalice sat filled with sacred water blessed by the elders. Elder Marla raised the chalice, her voice steady as she began the invocation.“Moon Goddess, protector of the packs, guardian of our bonds, we call upon you to witness this union. Bless this Alpha and his Luna, guide them with your wisdom, and strengthen their bond so that it may never be broken. May their love bring prosperity to this pack and honor to your name.”As she spoke, the energy in the clearing seemed to shift. The air grew still, heavy with an almost tangible presence. My heart thudded in anticipation as Jordyn turned to me, his eyes filled with an intensity that sent a shiver down my spine.“This will only hurt for a moment,” he murmured, his voice gentle yet firm.I nodded, tilting my head to expose the curve of my neck where his mating mark already rested—a mark that had bound us in the past but would now be renewed in front of the pack and the Moon G

    *BRIANNE'S POV*The day dawned brighter than any I’d ever seen, as if the sun itself knew this was no ordinary morning. I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the reflection of the woman I barely recognized—dressed in a gown that shimmered like moonlight, hair pinned into soft waves, and eyes lined with the faintest hint of gold. It was me, and yet it wasn’t.The house was alive with a flurry of excitement. Women rushed around, pinning flowers into my hair, adjusting the folds of my dress, and murmuring compliments that barely reached my ears. My heart was pounding too loudly to process anything fully.“Brianne,” my mother said softly from the doorway, drawing my attention. She stepped inside, her eyes misty but filled with pride. “You look radiant.”I turned to her, feeling a lump form in my throat. For all the ups and downs we’d been through, having her here today meant the world to me.“Thank you,” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper.She came closer, reaching out to adj

    *BRIANNE'S POV*The council chamber was a room of immense power, its high ceilings and stone walls almost intimidating. I stood just outside the heavy oak doors, my palms slightly damp with nerves. Jordyn’s reassuring hand rested on the small of my back, steadying me, but it did little to quiet the storm of thoughts in my head.Why was I even here? The council had never been my ally. Their opposition to Jordyn choosing me as his mate was no secret. They thought I wasn’t good enough to be Luna. I wasn’t born into privilege or power, and their disdain had been a constant shadow since our relationship began.Jordyn leaned closer, his warm breath brushing my ear. “You don’t need to worry about what they think, Brianne. If they say anything disrespectful, I’ll shut it down.”I smiled weakly, appreciating his confidence. “Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.”The doors swung open, revealing the circular council table where the elders were already seated. Each of them turned their heads towar

    *JORDYN'S POV*The moment Brianne said yes, my world shifted. It wasn’t just the joy of hearing her acceptance; it was the realization that everything I’d worked for, everything I’d fought to protect, finally had a deeper purpose. She wasn’t just my mate—she was my future, and I wanted the entire world to see it.The day after the proposal, I summoned Mary, Janette, and Josh to discuss the wedding. It wasn’t going to be just any wedding—it would be a mating ceremony, too. A powerful display of unity for both Brianne and me, and for the pack as a whole.“Do you think she’ll be okay with it being both?” Mary asked, leaning back in her chair.“Brianne doesn’t do things halfway,” I replied confidently. “And neither do I. This is our moment, and I want it to reflect everything we are—mates, partners, and leaders.”Janette smirked. “You’re really pulling out all the stops, huh?”“Absolutely,” I said, my tone firm. “This isn’t just for us. It’s for the pack, too. After everything we’ve been

    *BRIANNE'S POV*When I arrived at the location Mary had texted me, I was taken aback. It wasn’t the cozy café or lively bar I’d expected. Instead, I found myself standing outside a beautifully decorated venue. Soft fairy lights adorned the entrance, and a path lined with rose petals led the way inside.“What on earth…?” I murmured, stepping cautiously forward.The interior was even more breathtaking. The space was bathed in warm, golden light, with elegant floral arrangements and candles scattered throughout. It felt intimate, magical, and entirely unlike anything I’d anticipated.“Mary?” I called out, glancing around.But she was nowhere to be seen.My heart started to race, a mixture of confusion and anticipation swirling within me. And then, as if drawn by an invisible force, my eyes found him.Jordyn.He stood not too far away, dressed in a sharp black tuxedo that made him look like he’d stepped out of a dream. His dark hair was neatly styled, and his piercing eyes locked onto min

    *BRIANNE'S POV*The days after the war felt like a blur of activity and grief. The land bore scars of the battle—scorched earth, shattered buildings, and a heaviness in the air that was difficult to shake. But the pack was resilient, even in their pain.Jordyn wasted no time organizing efforts to rebuild. Under his leadership, everyone pitched in—repairing homes, clearing rubble, and tending to the wounded. It was a collective effort, and though the mood was somber, there was an undercurrent of determination.Jordyn had barely stopped to rest, throwing himself into the work with a single-minded focus. I stayed by his side as much as I could, offering support wherever it was needed.A week after the battle, the pack gathered in the main square. The sun shone brightly overhead, as if trying to wash away the darkness of the past few days. Jordyn stood on a makeshift stage, his posture straight and commanding, but I could see the weight he carried in the set of his shoulders.Josh stood n

    *BRIANNE'S POV*The next morning, I found my father in the study, his back to me as he stared out the window.“Do you need something?” he asked without turning around.I stepped inside, closing the door behind me. “We need to talk.”He sighed, finally facing me. “About what?”“About why you can’t seem to support me,” I said, my voice steady but firm.“I support you,” he said, though his tone was dismissive. “I just don’t think throwing yourself into danger is wise.”“I’m not a child anymore, Father. I can make my own decisions.”“And what happens when those decisions get you killed?” he demanded, his voice rising.“That’s enough!” my mother’s voice cut through the tension as she entered the room. She placed herself between us, her gaze stern. “Both of you, stop this. You’re family, not enemies.”My father muttered something under his breath and left the room, leaving me and my mother alone.She turned to me, her expression softening. “He loves you, Brianne.
