Chapter 120 The Vow

The world stopped… The scent hit me first–lilies.

Thousands of them.

The massive stone pillars of the Hall were completely transformed.

+10 Free Coins

Soft, golden candlelight with thousands of tiny flames flickered in crystal holders, casting a glow that felt like the Hall was floating in a dreamscape.

He had actually done it.

“Mommy! Look at us! We’re doing it!”

Sean and Susie were already a few paces ahead of me, and the sight of them nearly brought me to my knees.

They looked like little stars fallen to earth. Sean was in a miniature black tuxedo that made him look exactly like a smaller version of Baron. Beside him, Susie was a puff of white tulle and lace, her hair adorned with a crown of flowers.

They were taking their job as flower children with seriousness. With every step, they dipped their small hands into their flower baskets and scattered white petals onto the silk–covered aisle in sync.

Susie caught my eye for a split second and gave me a thumbs–up shattering the last of my panic.

As I stepped onto the aisle, the room went dead silent.

Every wolf in the Blackridge Pack stood in unison.

They bowed their heads as I passed… It was a sign of respect.

It was like they were welcoming and accepting me as their Luna.

‘Yes, Luna…‘ the voice said in my head, making me smile.

館

My vision narrowed until the only thing left in the universe was the man standing at the end of that long path.

Baron.

He stood there in a dark, charcoal–grey tailored suit that emphasized the terrifying power of his frame.

But it was his face that broke me.

The lethal Alpha of the pack looked like he was barely holding himself together.

With every step I took, I felt a layer of my old life fall away.

By the time I reached the altar, I felt free…

Baron reached out his hand and took mine. The moment our skin touched, a jolt of pure shock shot through my soul.

It wasn’t like anything I’ve felt before and by the look on his face, he felt it too.

Before the priest could even talk, I leaned in, my voice a desperate whisper that only he could hear “Baron… how? The dress. lilies…. I never told you about the Pinterest board. I never told anyone. how did you know?”

Baron’s lips quirked into that small smile as he leaned down, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear, sending shocks and shivers down my spine.

I could feel his breath on my skin and everything seemed heightened.

“A magician never reveals his secrets, Natalie,” he murmured, his voice taunting.

I let out a laugh, shaking my head. “You’re not a magician, Baron… You’re a wolf. A big, stubborn, terrifying wolf”

“I’m your wolf,” he corrected, his grip on my hand tightening just enough to let me know he was never letting go.

The High Priest of the pack stepped forward, his voice booming through the silent Hall.

The ceremony was a blur of ancient words and modern promises. He spoke of the Moon Goddess’s wisdom and the strength of t pack, but I was trapped in Baron’s gaze. The way he looked at me… it was as if I was the only thing in the world that mattered.

Then came the moment that changed everything.

“Alpha Baron,” the priest said. “Do you take this woman to be your Luna, your mate, and your soul’s anchor? Do you swear to protect her through blood and peace, to honor her mind as much as her heart, until the moon itself fades from the sky?”

He didn’t hesitate for even a fraction of a second. His voice rang out, “I do.”

The moment those two words left his lips, something inside me snapped into place.

A presence roared to life with a force that shook me, Baron helped stabilize me.

Baron’s wolf finally stepped forward in our spiritual link.

I felt him.

I could feel something else inside me strengthen.

‘Finally,‘ the voice in my head said before shifting.

The priest turned to me, his eyes filled with concern. Everyone in the hall including Yvonne was staring at me with concern evident on their faces.

“You okay?” Baron asked and I nodded in response.

“Natalie Stone, do you take this man to be your Alpha, your protector, and your Alpha? Do you swear to rule by his side as the Luna of this pack, to share his burdens and his soul?”

I looked up at Baron as I felt the soul connection flare.

“I do,” I whispered. My voice was small, but it radiated with a newfound power that seemed to ripple through the room

At that exact second, the bond snapped shut.

‘Ours,‘ a new voice echoed.

‘Mine,‘ she finally said.
