Chapter 247
Luma Demetra.
As the Lion Pride tradition is, a formal pack bonding ceremony operates to the morning, and a forte operates at night. The first formal pack is about the elders, the parents of the bride and grofy friends of each part of the family
It’s basically Sabrina and Slade telling each other their vows with several 1 dos” It’s quiet, the arking wishy words
Evening time, our guests from every part of the world are gonna be present. It’s going to be the bright ever seen. Due to the last infiltration of Ariadne who was a wolf shifter was in our midst, Dad Wolves, who are basically wolves that can see through skin. Nobody is getting through tonight wear
te (bey Jool
The girls are giggling as Slade slides the ring onto Sabrina’s finger and I genuinely cannor ges together this morning. It almost makes me forget that I woke up today with the answer I wanted from Emi, yet ages still in my shoulders.
Right now, we’re standing next to each other, and while everyone is awning, he’s just got that superhero look on his face like someone who just finished saving the world. Punk. I hear everyone starting to clap, and I join as Sabrina shows her fingers us and the girls cheer even more.
“Congratulations. I hug Slade as he comes over to us, and then we interchange. We go hug everyone from Alpha Seth’s pack too, bustling as we go, and our family presents all the gifts we have for Sabrina as the new Luna.

As I stare at it, it makes me remember that bright day after Amira was welcomed to the Black Covenant like Summer let me know quietly that Emris had bought the new Luna gifts for me too, I didn’t care if he bought the whole world for me during that time, but later on, I got to see what he got for me in the storage unit of the pack house
It was so many gifts. So many things that I liked in the past that I didn’t even think he remembered. The cars he got me as Luna gifts were still wrapped in bows. There were paintings…original pieces from artists I admired.
Jewelry fit for royalty in an entire collection assembled around who I was specifically. Emris had outsourced everything to my palette and taste, like he had been paying attention to every single thing I’d ever mentioned like he was trying to pay back for the time we lost together.
“Let’s eat.” Allison says and everyone agrees.
We’re having breakfast on the lawn while Sabrina goes for a change though something tells me she and Slade are going to be missing for considerably longer than a quick outfit swap. Teddy and Tiffany are already theorizing about that as we walk
I hear the sound of Emris laughing somewhere with a glass in his hands, and I focus on him for five seconds total. Laughing What’s funny to a damn wolf who’s on bad terms with his wife!?
I have to work very hard to keep walking in my current direction.
Because what he’s wearing today should genuinely be illegal. He looks like a bad boy in college. He’s wearing the shaftiest silky shirt I’ve ever seen in my life…brown like chocolate, unbuttoned to show his chest, rolled up to his elbows perfect for a garden thing like this. But if we were a happy couple right now, there’s no way he was gonna walk out of the room, and a pregnant hormonal she-wolf wouldn’t have ripped it off him one too many times.
Coupled with those Italian tailored pants that are tight at his waist yet very tailored, makes him look like the bad boy from every high school hallway who showed up to the reunion as a wealthy businessman until you check the rolled-up sluny shirt where his arms are revealed, and you realize oh, it’s an Alpha.
Is that a diamond ring og his ear? Emris. Really. I guess he’s trying to get the she-wolves invited from Sabrina’s family to look at him. Thirsty bastard

Chapter 247
You and Demetra should take a picture? I hear iade say and I immediately rodine my far lefsay anyone looking
I start introducing myself to others. I lift my pale pink dress slightly and walk as the seth two biddin dancing to the violinists playing the most amazing tunes I’ve ever heard in my life. A
hey, and I’ve not even gone far with my dress when Alpha Tyson walks toward me
“You can dance?” He asks.
“You’re asking a Luna, the daughter of an Alpha, if she can dance? I say seriously, then roll my eyes I cann
Alpha Tyson laughs and extends his hand anyway.
“Emris is currently dancing with someone. So I don’t think it’s bad if I have one with year?”
I quickly look and see Emris with a chick in a blue dress.
Oh. Oh. So the first dance of the day, and he’s giving it to someone else. I know her, shes Sabrina’s woman of honor
Oh. Oh.
“Sure.” I smile. “But I already feel so sorry for your toes.”
“They’re made hard-
“So are these heels.”
I put my hand on his shoulder and feel his arms settle at my waist and we face each other. One step left, right and forward.”
I nod like I’ve processed that information and immediately step right when he goes left on the first move. I close my eyes in embarrassment.
“I swear, if I weren’t so busy, I would have taken dance classes.
“From what I heard: you barely had a free hour.” He says it warmly and steers us back into rhythm. “Luna of the Black Covenant Pack standing alone against the barbarian wolves, protecting the pack’s children, holding the Alpha seat from a Lycan who had every political advantage. Every Alpha in this country was talking about you. Not Emris. You. Nobody could understand where that kind of strength came from.”
I exhale slowly and let myself receive the accolades without deflecting because honestly at the time I thought I was failing every single day, Getting up and doing it again felt less like strength and more like having no other available option.
“I’m just glad that bastard is dead and cannot frustrate anyone ever again!
On the next move, I get it this time, and when we come forward, we’re too close. I let out a chuckle to diffuse the awkwardness.
“What does Emris plan on doing with the Lycan?” Alpha Tyson asks “Heard he’s in Tatanos”
“Tatanos?” I ask, my brow furrowing.
“Yeah. Another nickname for the worst prison in existence. Lake is not the only Lycan in the world and in there, there are several who are locked up just like him. Some waiting for the day of their judgment depending on what the Aegis Unit decides. They’re made to sleep upside down. They get fed one orange or one egg every single day. Their wolves dehydrate so severely they spend every waking hour in physical thirst. Minimum sentence eighteen years and any wolf who walks, our won’t be the Lycan who went in.
1 listen, and I don’t feel any regret for Emris giving him that punishment. The only thing on my mind is if Emris is gonna do the same for Laura when he’s done using her.” according to what he said.”

Chapter 247
I continue dancing with Alpha Tyson a second after and look behind his shoulder to see someone sath plate at walang toward us on the field. Immediately, I let go of him the moment I spot my eyes on Jamer
She’s in white fur, stopping across the lawn to stare at me, Quickly, I release Tyson and glane ideways to fod of where Dar is but he’s already spotted her
I tighten my fist because this time around, I’m not running from the woman who slept her way through every e Tele and Gamma. But the hell sent her an invitation to my brother’s bonding and thought that was acceptable
