*BRIANNE’S POV*

The night air was cool against my skin as I turned to a corner, putting as much distance between myself and the two of them as possible. I could feel the tears welling up again, but I swallowed them back, determined not to break down until I was far away. Far away from the man I loved who was about to become a father with someone else. Far away from the ex who was trying to work himself back into my life.

I stopped for a moment, leaning against a street lamp, trying to catch my breath. My head was spinning and the weight of the past few days felt too much to carry. I had loved Jordyn so much, and yet, here I was—caught between him and a reality I wasn’t ready to face. And then, there was Marcus, lingering like a shadow from my past, showing up when I least expected it.

I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. I didn’t have all the answers yet, but one thing was clear—I needed to figure out what I wanted. For once, I had to put myself first, and not let the chaos of thei

That's my girl. It will all work out for sure, Bri. My gut is telling me that the pup is not for Jordyn and that the possibility it could be Marcus's. Both just turned up like that is very much suspect

    *JORDYN’S POV*After the fight with Marcus, my mind was a tangled mess of regret and frustration.My knuckles were still raw from the impact, the ache reminding me of just how out of control things had gotten. Seeing Brianne standing there, caught between the two of us, hurt more than I was willing to admit. She looked so small, so torn, and I hated myself for being the cause of her pain. I could still see the look in her eyes. The mixture of betrayal and confusion. She didn’t deserve any of this.As I walked away from the scene, my heart felt heavy, like a weight pulling me down deeper into the darkness. I tried to steady my breathing, but everything just kept coming back to one thing—I should’ve told her. I should’ve told her everything from the start. But I don’t, and now it felt like everything was slipping through my fingers.I needed to clear my head. I need to apologize. Not just to Brianne, but to Amelia too. I hadn’t been fair to her either. The things I said in my office—ask

    *JORDYN’S POV*“I don’t want to hurt Brianne,” I said softly, my voice filled with regret.“And what about me?” Amelia asked, her eyes searching mine. “Do you care about hurting me?”I didn’t know how to answer that. Of course, I cared. But everything was so tangled up in confusion and regret, and I couldn’t see a way out that couldn’t hurt someone.“I don’t want to hurt anyone,” I finally admitted. “But I can’t undo what’s already been done.”Amelia nodded, her expression softening slightly. “I know. But you need to figure out what you want, Jordyn. Before it’s too late.”The room fell silent after that, the weight of the conversation hanging in the air between us. I could feel the tension loosening, but the heaviness in my chest didn’t go away.“I’ll give you space,” I said after a long pause. “I’ll make sure you’re comfortable here, but I’ll stay out of your way.”Amelia looked at me, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and understanding. “Thank you,” She said quietly.I stoo

    *JORDYN’S POV*Josh sighed again, his shoulders sagging slightly. “You know what they’ll say. They’ve never approved of her. They think she’s weak, that she’s not fit to be your mate. The whole situation is just giving them more ammunition.” He said.I clenched my fist, my anger simmering just beneath the surface. I couldn’t believe how quickly everything had spiraled out of control. Just days ago, I was trying to figure out how to tell Brianne about the pregnancy, and now I was facing the prospect of being forced into a marriage I didn’t want, all because the council thought they knew what was best for me.“I’m not going to let them control my life,” I muttered, more to myself than to Josh. “I’m not going to marry Amelia just because they said I should.”Josh gave me a wary look. “I get, man. I really do. But you need to think about the long-term consequences. This isn’t just about you anymore. It’s about the pack, the future of your leadership. If you go against the council, you’re

    *JORDYN’S POV*My blood boiled at her words. “Brianne is not weak,” I growled, my fist trembling slightly. “And I won’t let anyone…especially you, talk about her that way.”My mother leaned back in her chair, her expression unyielding. “You’re being foolish, Jordyn. This isn’t about love or mateship. This is about what is best for the pack.” She said.“What’s best for the pack?” I echoed, laughing bitterly. “You think forcing me to marry Amelia, a woman who doesn’t even want this child, is best for this pack?”“Amelia didn’t want this child?” My mother repeated, her eyes narrowing with interest. “She said that?”I cursed myself silently for letting that slip. “That’s not the point,” I said, trying to steer the conversation back on track. “The point is that I’ve already made my decision.”My mother stood up, her eyes blazing with determination. “You haven’t made a decision, Jordyn. You’re avoiding it. But sooner or later, you’ll have to face reality. Amelia is carrying your child, and

    *BRIANNE’S POV*Before Mary could respond, my name was called. My heart felt like it stopped for a moment. This was it. My big moment. But it felt hollow.I stood up, the weight of my gown heavier than it should’ve been, and made my way to the stage. The applause was deafening, but all I could hear was the deafening silence in my heart. As I took my diploma, I couldn’t help but glance back into the crowd one more time. No Jordyn.I forced a smile, waved to the audience as expected, and walked off the stage. But inside, I felt like a part of me was missing.After the ceremony, the crowd was buzzing. Friends and family were hugging, congratulating one another, and taking pictures. I stood off to the side, feeling out of place despite being in the center of it all. Mary had gone to meet up with her family, leaving me with my thoughts.Then, out of nowhere, Marcus appeared. He smiled, holding out a bouquet of flowers.“Congratulations,” He said, his voice warm and familiar.I took the flo

    *BRIANNE’S POV*He was silent for a moment, his hands gripping his knees so tightly that his knuckles turned white. When he finally spoke, his voice was hoarse. “You’re just giving up on us?“No,” I whispered. “I’m trying to give you the chance to do the right thing.”Jordyn’s jaw tightened, and he stood up suddenly, pacing a few steps away from me. “The right thing?” He repeated, his voice bitter. “The right thing would’ve been telling Amelia from the start that I didn’t want to be with her. That I wanted you.”I closed my eyes, letting the tears I’d been holding back fall. “But you didn’t, Jordyn. And now there’s a baby involved. We can’t change that.”He turned to face me again, his eyes dark with frustration and sadness. “So that’s it? You’re letting me go?”I stood up then, stepping closer to him. I’m not letting you go because I don’t love you,” I said, my voice trembling. “I’m letting you go because I do love you. And I want you to be the father your child deserves.”For a mome

    *JORDYN’S POV*Josh took a swig of his beer and set it down. “It’s the council. They’re pressuring you to act fast. Word’s starting to get out, and they don’t want this scandal growing any bigger.”I clenched my jaw, already feeling the storm brewing inside me. “Act fast? What do they want me to do?”Josh looked at me, his gaze unwavering. “They want you to marry her. As soon as possible. Before the pack knows the full story. They think it’ll settle everything, make the situation more…acceptable.” He said.“Acceptable?” I laughed bitterly. “So they want me to marry Amelia, settle into this perfect little lie, and pretend like Brianne doesn’t exist? Like my life hasn’t been ripped apart?”“Jordyn,” Josh said quietly, “they’re thinking about the pack. The baby. The council sees this as the only solution. They think it’ll save face.”“Save face? For who? For them?” I shot back, my voice rising. “They don’t care about me, about what I want, about what this is doing to me.”Josh sighed hea

    *BRIANNE’S POV*The morning air clung to my skin as I stood among the trainees at the pack house training grounds. It felt strange to finally be here after all that had happened. A part of me wasn’t ready for this. The physicality of the training, the eyes of the other pack members watching, and the weight of everything that had happened between me and Jordyn pressing down on my shoulders. But I had to push through it. Life didn’t wait for heartbreak to heal.“Let’s go!” Barked the training instructor, her voice slicing through my thoughts as we moved into formation for our next exercise. I followed her commands without hesitation, my body moving on autopilot while my mind drifted in and out of focus.The training ground buzzed with the energy of the pack members, each one pushing themselves through drills, but my focus was barely there. Everything felt dull lately. Even the sharp jabs of pain from my muscles straining didn’t seem to reach me.I thought about my decision to let Jordyn

    *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.

    *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.
