Bella Manuel faced the mirror, her fingers gliding across the smooth material of her blue gown. The shade accentuated the warm glow of her caramel skin, and for the first time in a long while, she felt lovely, unique, and worthy.Marcus would love it.A hidden smile curled her lips as she ran her fingers along the tiny mark on her shoulder made by his kisses the previous night. His voice echoed in her mind."I will claim you as mine because I plan to reveal everything about us to the whole pack tomorrow."Excitement twirled in her gut, blending exhilaration with anxiety.

No more hushed whispers about her being an Omega. No more being ridiculed by the very people who should have been her family.She was about to be the Beta’s mate.“Bella Manuel!
