The grand ceremony at the Silvercrest Pack House was scheduled for 11 PM, but I arrived at 9:30 PM. The entrance was already crowded with luxury vehicles and prominent Alpha wolves from across the Northern Territories.

“You look perfect, darling,” I assured her, adjusting the crystal pin in her hair. “Tonight, everyone will see that you’re the true daughter of the Alpha King.”
My wolf preened beneath my skin. After seven long years, I would finally be acknowledged as
Ethan’s chosen mate the future Luna of the Silvercrest Pack.
