GabriellaThe girls wouldn’t stop teasing Gabriella about Lucienne, but for once in her life, she didn’t mind at all. It distracted her from everything her uncle had done and the fact that he might still challenge her for alpha. She couldn’t believe that he had actually thought he could get away with everything. What was he thinking? Not that she had ever shown much interest in running the pack, but honestly! Did he really think she would never find out? Then there was the fact that nobody in the pack did much about it. It was as if they had all resigned themselves to their fate. The pack she remembered from her childhood were warriors. They would never just have accepted this kind of treatment. No, there had to be more behind all of this.The last thing that bugged her was that Lucienne had been spying on her for goddess knows how long! He was right there! Surely, he could have told her what was going on. She couldn’t imagine Lucienne not knowing what was going on at home. Didn’t he

GabriellaWord of the mating ceremony spread through the pack fast and Gabriella could feel the excitement in the air as her friends were sitting around her office making plans. She honestly didn’t care what decorations and flowers they used or even what she was going to wear. All she cared about was getting it over and done with. She really didn’t like all the fuss around her, but she knew she would have to get used to it. Her uncle gave her an out all those years ago and she gladly took it so she could live the life she really wanted. Now she had to live the life she was destined to.Over the next two weeks, Gabriella and Lucienne spent their time between the dungeons and her office and there wasn’t much time for them to be alone. He slept in her parents’ room while she slept in her old bedroom, but at night, she found it difficult to fall asleep knowing he was just there. All she had to do was walk across to the other side of the very short passage and he was there. She had to laug

Venus and MelodyAdjusting to life in the pack house was different. For the first time, they didn’t actually have to hide who they were, but after years of doing it in the human world, it was difficult and they were a little afraid of what the wolves would think. Thankfully, Zion was in the room next to them and she sort of took the two women under her wing. The three quickly became friends and they were all incredibly happy for Gabriella.GabriellaIt was a huge adjustment having to share a bathroom with a male after she didn’t have to share anything before. She always made sure that wherever she lived, she had her own bathroom so she wouldn’t have to share, even with her two best friends. Lucienne was neat and everything, but it was still strange to do simple things like going to the toilet! He would follow her everywhere, and Gabriella was too scared to fart in front of him! Fine, so everybody did it, but what would he think of her if he heard the loud thunder that could sometimes

GabriellaShe thought about it and thought about it, and no matter which way she went, it was clear that there was only one punishment that would suffice. Her uncle had to pay for his sins with his life. Gabriella didn’t know what she would do about her aunt since her wolf was going to be in incredible pain when her uncle was executed. Her aunt might just die of a broken heart for all she knew, and Gabriella didn’t want to admit it at first, but it quickly became clear that her only way out was to sentence both of them to death. Lucienne agreed that no amount of time and thinking was ever going to change the outcome and the sooner they got it over and done with, the better.Gabriella reconvened the trial and when she informed everyone of her decision, a loud roar of applause erupted. Her uncle was shouting profanities in a way that she had never seen before and her aunt had stopped crying. She just sat in her chair glaring at Gabriella. Gabriella gave the order for the gallows to be b

GabriellaZion had been praying day and night for her mate to come. She knew he wasn’t in their pack since she never found any signs of him, but while she was standing in Gabriella’s office, she caught his scent. She followed it right to him. He was one of the warriors she knew well. Nobody could really explain why you could walk right past your mate the first time and miss their scent and then only realize who they were later on, but Zion didn’t care. She found him! From the look on his face, he was happy that he had found her and he didn’t wait to be given permission as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.The moon goddess decides when you meet your mate. It could be right after you turned for the first time between the ages of fourteen and sixteen or it could be later on in life like it happened to Gabriella and Lucienne. Nobody knew until that very moment when you caught their scent for the first time or your eyes locked and you just knew. Zion trusted in the moon goddess a
