*JORDYN'S POV*

The heavy oak door to my mother’s private quarters creaked open, and the familiar scent of lavender and aged wood hit me. She turned from her desk at the sound, her poised demeanor never faltering, though her eyes betrayed a flicker of surprise at my presence.

“Jordyn,” she greeted, her voice cool but controlled. “To what do I owe the honor?”

I closed the door behind me, ensuring we wouldn’t be overheard. “I shouldn’t be here,” I began, my tone sharp, “not after what you pulled with Amelia.”

Her expression didn’t change, but I caught the subtle tightening of her jaw. “I see you’re still holding on to that,” she said, folding her hands in her lap. “I’ve already told you—”

“You lied to me,” I interrupted, my voice rising. “You brought Amelia back here, fed her lies, and nearly ruined everything with Brianne. And now you expect me to trust you?”

She stood, her regal presence filling the room despite her smaller stature. “I did what I thought was best for you and the pack,

    *JORDYN'S POV*Josh straightened, his expression turning serious. “I’ll keep following the leads in the court. But we need to prepare for the worst. If the rival pack knows our weaknesses, they might make a move soon.”I nodded, my mind already racing through contingency plans. “We’ll increase patrols along the borders. Double the guard rotations around the pack house. And I want you to keep an eye on the nobles—quietly. If anyone so much as twitches wrong, I want to know about it.”“Got it,” Josh said, his tone steady. But then he hesitated again, his brows furrowing.“What is it?” I asked, my patience wearing thin.He shifted uncomfortably. “It’s just… the timing of all this. The spy, the traitor—it all feels too perfect, doesn’t it? Like someone’s orchestrating this, waiting for the right moment to strike.”I frowned, the weight of his words settling heavily on my shoulders. He was right. This wasn’t random. Someone had planned this, and they were playing us like pieces on a chessb

    *JORDYN'S POV*The kiss lingered, soft at first, as if testing the fragile moment between us. I felt the weight of my exhaustion fade, replaced by something warmer, something grounding. Brianne’s hands gently cupped my face, her thumbs brushing against my cheekbones as she leaned in closer.“You’ve been carrying so much,” she whispered against my lips, her breath warm and intoxicating. “Let it go, Jordyn. Just for now.”I pulled her into my lap without thinking, wrapping my arms around her waist as if she were the anchor I didn’t know I needed. Her weight against me, her scent, her presence—it was like she chased away the shadows I’d been drowning in.“It’s hard, Brianne,” I admitted, my voice cracking with the rawness of the truth. “Sometimes I feel like I’ll fail everyone. That no matter what I do, it won’t be enough.”She leaned back slightly, her hands moving to rest on my shoulders. “You won’t fail. You’re not alone in this. I’m here, Jordyn. For you.”The sincerity in her eyes k

    *JORDYN.'S POV*The midday sun poured through the wide windows of my office, illuminating the polished mahogany of my desk. I sat there, going over the latest updates on the rogue attacks and pack finances, trying to keep my focus sharp. The weight of leadership often pressed harder when the pieces didn’t align, and lately, they weren’t aligning at all.A sharp knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts.“Come in,” I called, my voice calm but firm.Josh stepped in, his expression tight, his usual casual demeanor replaced by something far more serious. That alone set me on edge. Josh rarely let anything rattle him, but today, his movements were purposeful, his jaw tense.“Got a minute?” he asked, closing the door behind him without waiting for my answer.“Always,” I replied, motioning for him to sit. But he didn’t. Instead, he stood near the edge of the desk, his eyes scanning the room as if double-checking for any lurking ears or hidden dangers.“What’s wrong?” I asked, my brows fur

    *JORDYN'S POV*After Josh left, the weight of the revelation settled over me like a storm cloud. I sat at my desk, staring at the papers in front of me but not truly seeing them. My thoughts drifted to my mother.Had she known what Vincent was doing? Was she complicit, or had she been another pawn in his game? The idea of confronting her sent a pang of dread through me, but it had to be done.I picked up my phone, dialing her number. The line rang twice before she answered.“Jordyn,” she said, her voice warm but tinged with surprise. “It’s been a while since you called.”I didn’t waste time on pleasantries. “We need to talk.”“About what?”“Vincent.”There was a pause on the other end, just long enough to make my stomach tighten.“What about him?” she asked, her tone cautious.“Meet me at the estate. Tonight,” I said, my voice leaving no room for argument. “I’ll explain then.”***The hours leading up to that meeting felt like an eternity. I couldn’t shake the nagging feeling that thi

    *JORDYN'S POV*But the damage had already been done, and no amount of apologies could change that. Vincent had already fed enough information to the rival pack to put us all in danger. It wasn’t just about fixing things with my mother anymore. It was about protecting the pack from the consequences of her mistakes.I turned and made my way to the door, not looking back. “I’ll handle this,” I said, my voice low and final. “But this isn’t over.”Once I was outside, I took a deep breath, letting the cool night air fill my lungs. The tension that had been building in my chest didn’t seem to ease, but I knew I had to keep moving forward. I had to act fast, before the rival pack could make their move.As I walked back to my car, I thought about everything I had learned tonight. The betrayal. The lies. And, perhaps most troubling of all, the truth about my mother’s relationship with Vincent. I couldn’t afford to let personal emotions cloud my judgment. The pack was depending on me, and I had

    *JORDYN'S POV*I couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that had settled in my stomach. The conversation with Josh was a step in the right direction, but there were still so many unknowns. I could tell he would do everything in his power to get the evidence we needed, but even he couldn’t predict how Vincent would react to being watched. The man was too slippery, too cunning to simply give up information.I needed a moment to clear my head. The stress was eating at me, gnawing away at my focus. I had no idea how long this was going to take. How much longer would I be forced to walk this tightrope? But I couldn’t afford to show weakness, not now.I stood up from my desk and stretched, grabbing my coat off the back of the chair. It was already late, and I knew I should head home. The house was quiet—too quiet. I needed the solitude, the space to think. But as I grabbed the keys to my car, I found myself hesitating.There was something missing in my life lately, something I couldn’t quite nam

    *JORDYN'S POV*“You’re right,” I said finally, my tone more resigned than I’d like. “I shouldn’t keep you out of this. I need you in my corner. You’ve been there for me when no one else has, and I can’t ignore that anymore.”Brianne smiled softly, her thumb gently rubbing the back of my hand. “You don’t have to do everything on your own, Jordyn. Let me help.”I closed my eyes, feeling the weight of her words sink in. I didn’t want to drag her into the darkness of what was happening, but I also knew that, for better or worse, we were already tangled in this together. And I couldn’t pretend anymore that I didn’t need her.“Okay,” I said, the word finally tasting like it had weight. “We’ll figure this out together. But we need to be careful. There’s a lot on the line.”She nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. She didn’t need me to spell it out for her. She already knew what was at stake.“I’ll be careful. I trust you,” she said softly, squeezing my hand.That was enough. I

    *BRIANNE'S POV*The sunlight streamed through the large windows of the pack house’s common room, casting a warm glow on the polished wooden floors. I sat curled up on one of the plush armchairs, cradling a cup of tea in my hands. Across from me, Mary was sprawled on the couch, her legs tucked under her, a blanket draped over her lap. Her usual sharp, playful demeanor was replaced by a quiet, contemplative expression.It wasn’t often that we got time like this—just the two of us. The air around us felt heavy with the weight of the recent events in the pack. With everything Jordyn and Josh were dealing with, it was a rare moment of calm amidst the chaos.Mary broke the silence first, her voice tinged with frustration. “I hate this.”I glanced up from my tea. “Hate what?”“Everything,” she sighed, running a hand through her dark hair. “The tension, the secrets, the constant feeling that something’s about to go horribly wrong. And Josh…” She trailed off, her lips pressing into a thin line

    *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.
