As we get out of the car at the pack house, Amber heads to her own car and gets a bag out. I know what is inside before she says anything.
“How many mason jars did you bring Amber?” I ask her and before she answers I mouth the words she is going to say to Samantha.
“Enough.” She says and turns around to smack my arm when Samantha starts laughing at me.
My heart sinks and I frantically search the stalls. When they are all empty I shake my head in confusion and look back to the mirror to make sure I am not seeing things. The message is in fact there, but I am alone.I remember the toilets flushing a couple times so I know that more than one girl had been in here. There are wolves and humans in this bar so it could be any of them.Wit
"Good morning beautiful.""mmm."I wake up to Colin kissing my neck. I stretch out a little obnoxiously and he smiles into my neck. As I finish my stretch I wrap my arms and legs around him and pull him onto me.
"Ellie!"I wake up to Colin shaking me. Again. This is the third night this week. Every time I fall asleep, I'm in that nightmare. I wake up in a pool of sweat and I am trembling uncontrollably.Again I grab hold of his face, searching for the reality, hoping that he is real. Then, I grab my stomach and the tears start falling.
When we pull into the pack house driveway, Colin and our dad’s are waiting for us. I get out of the car and my dad pulls me in for a big hug.“So I am going to be a grandfather, huh? Do you think it will finally be the boy I always wanted?”I pulled back and punched him, not lightly, in the shoulder.
Sipping my mocktail and talking to the girls, I can’t help the smile that won’t go away. Amber, Heather, Samantha and I are in my old room at my parents house. Today is the day I marry Colin and the day we become Luna and Alpha in front of our pack.Josie is also here, she insisted on doing my hair and makeup as a wedding gift to me. It’s so nice to see her and I’m glad she will be here today. I know there is a big possibility that I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her. She and her mate are also expecting a pup, it’s a little girl.
I look at my dad and I am suddenly so nervous. I can’t help my hands from trembling or my heart from speeding. He walks over and kisses my head while rubbing my arms.“You got this, you’re my daughter after all.” He pushes his chest out as far as it will go.I shake my head and roll my eyes at him.
“What a magnificent wedding and ceremony you two, really, just wonderful to watch. If only your guards would have been alive to see it too.”Shane emerges from the woods with two other wolves, both already shifted while Shane is still in his human form. Colin grabs ahold of me tightly and I search the woods for any sign of our guards or Brandon’s with no luck.“Shane, I suggest
It’s been five years since the wedding. Five years since Colin and I had our Luna and Alpha ceremony. It was a beautiful day, until it wasn’t. We don’t talk about that day, our pack won’t mention it either.Colin and I don’t celebrate our wedding day. The memories of what took place make it too difficult. Instead, we celebrate on the day that he proposed. That way we don’t have anything that can take away from our happiness.
