*BRIANNE’S POV*As I walked away from Harriet, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of empathy towards her. She had been through so much, and yet, she still managed to be kind and caring toward others.I couldn’t help but wonder what crime she had been falsely accused of, and how she had ended up in the silver-black pack.But as I approached Jordyn’s office, my mind began to wander to my own situation.If I were to mate with Jordyn, I would become the Luna of the silver-black pack. The thoughts sent shivers down my spine. I wasn’t ready for that kind of responsibility, that kind of power. I was still trying to wrap my head around being a wolfless wolf, let alone a Luna.I stood outside Jordyn’s office, my heart racing with anticipation. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, but there was no response.I wondered if he was always like that, not responding to knocks on the door.I summoned the courage and pushed open the door. Alpha Jordyn was sitting at his desk, his eyes fixed inte
*BRIANNE’S POV*“Ah,” a voice exclaimed. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to interrupt!”I shot my head back to see a flustered-looking Janette standing in the doorway, her hand covering her mouth in surprise.Jordyn’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze flicking to Janette before returning to me.“How many times have I told you to knock before entering?” He questioned, his eyes cold.Janette’s eyes darted back and forth between us, her face flushed with embarrassment. “I…I was just looking for Josh. I didn’t mean to interrupt anything.” She said.Jordyn’s hands dropped from my face and he stepped back, his expression neutral. “It’s fine. We were just…talking.”I turned to her. “Don’t worry Janette, I was just about to leave,” I said.Her eyes lingered on us for a moment before she nodded. “Why don’t we leave together?” She said before she backed out of the room, closing the door behind her.Jordyn turned to me, feeling disappointed by the interruption. I nodded slightly at him before turnin
*JORDYN’S POV*I sat in my office chair, feeling dazed and bewildered. My mind was spinning from the revelation that I finally found my mate. It was a feeling that I never thought I’d experience, and yet, here I was, enjoying the warmth of this newfound connection.My mind drifted back to the day at my hideout, the first day she kissed me. I remembered it like it was yesterday. She had been trying to calm me down, but I hadn’t expected her to use a kiss to do so. But it worked like a charm. I felt my tension melt away.But now, as I reflected on that moment, I wondered if she had already suspected that she was my mate.She’s smart, intuitive, and perspective, so it was definitely so.Maybe she had picked up on the little cues, the unspoken signal that only a mate can sense.The sudden push in the door pulled me out of my thoughts.Josh walked into my office with a look of concern etched on his face. But as he approached my desk, his expression suddenly transformed, and a soft, goofy g
*BRIANNE’S POV*We all stood in lines, waiting for the announcement to be made.The training instructor had said there was going to be an announcement, but we’d been waiting for almost an hour and nobody was making the announcement. The sun was beating down on us, making the wait even more unbearable. I could feel the sweat trickling down my back, and my legs were starting to ache from standing for too long.To make matters worse, the instructor was pacing back and forth, muttering to himself, and glancing at her watch every few seconds. It was like she was waiting for something or someone, and it was making me nervous.I looked around at the others, trying to gauge their reactions. Some were chatting quietly, while others were checking their phones or gazing off into space. But we all shared one thing in common: we were all getting restless.“Come on, already!” Someone muttered behind me. “What’s taking so long?”“I know right?” Someone else replied. “I’ve got better things to do tha
*BRIANNE’S POV*Jordyn’s eyes seemed to gleam with a fierce light as if he could see the potential for chaos and excitement that the new rule would unleash.“This means you’ll have to be strategic, clever, and ruthless,” He continued. “You’ll need to use every trick in the book to outmaneuver your opponents.”The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their faces illuminating with excitement.‘This is going to be interesting’“That would be all,” Jordyn said, his voice firm and authoritative, before turning to leave. The crowd erupted into cheers and applause, their faces gleaming with the sheer excitement that came with the announcement.As Jordyn walked away, I noticed him speaking with the instructor, with a serious expression on his face.The instructor nodded, her eyes sparkling with understanding, before Jordyn finally turned and left the arena with the other two guys.“Alright, everyone, listen up,” The instructor commanded. The crowd quieted down and all attention was on her.
*BRIANNE’S POV*I looked at my mother, trying to decipher her expression. Her eyes seemed to hold a hint of curiosity, but also a warmth that made me feel like she was trying to protect me. I was about to ask her what was really going on when Mary walked in, her bright smile and bubbly energy immediately filling the room.“Hi, girl!” Mary exclaimed, her eyes locking onto mine with excitement. “I’ve missed you so much!”My mother turned to her with a smile, her expression softening. “Hi, Mary. It’s been a while since you came over.”Mary bounced over to my mother, giving her a warm hug. “I know, Mrs. Preston. I’ve been so busy with school and stuff. But I promised Brianne I’d come over so we can both get ready for the full moon ceremony together.” Mary’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she pulled back from the hug.My mother’s eyes crinkled at the corners as she smiled. “Well, I’m glad you could make it. We’ve got dinner almost ready.” She said.Mary’s eyes lit up. “Ooh great! I’m sta
*BRIANNE’S POV*My gaze dropped to Mary, who was watching me with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty. She blinked a few times, her eyes darting back and forth as if looking for something to say, but she remained silent.I turned and walked away, my feet heavy on the stairs as I stormed upstairs. I could feel their eyes on me, boring into my back like daggers. But I didn’t look back. I didn’t care what they thought. I was done.I reached my room and slammed the door behind me, the sound echoing through the hallway like a Declaration of Independence.I jumped on my bed, my mind drifting to Jordyn. He says he likes me and I really like him too. How much harm can he cause me? I thought to myself, my mind wandering to all the possibilities.Just as I was getting lost in my thoughts, I heard a knock on the door, disrupting my reverie. I knew it was Mary.She pushed the door and walked into the room.“Bri,” She called out as she walked towards my bed, her voice gentle.“I don’t wanna hear
*BRIANNE’S POV*I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. Suddenly, I was met with Mary’s face inches away from mine, her bright blue eyes sparkling with excitement. I gasped, startled, and my heart skipped a beat.“Shit, Mary! What are you doing?” I exclaimed, my voice husky from sleep.Mary giggled sheepishly, her face flushing pink. “Aren’t you going to get up, sleepyhead? Don’t forget we have an event to prepare for.” She said, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm.I sighed and rolled my eyes, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. “I know today is the full moon ceremony, but you don’t have to wake me up like that. Did you even get any sleep?” I asked her, my voice tinged with amusement.Mary nodded vigorously, her ponytail bouncing with the motion. “Yeah, I got a few hours. But I’m so excited for today! It’s going to be amazing,” She said, her eyes wide with anticipation.I chuckled and sat up, stretching my arms above my head. “You’re always energetic in the mornings.
The story of Jordyn and Brianne has finally come to an end. to all my readers, I want to say the biggest thank you for your support throughout my first book. your kindness and support has been my biggest drive force and motivation. thank you and God bless!
*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. He just… doesn’t know how t
