Alex’s eyes soften on me.” are you ready for it, Mio Tesoro?”
My heart skips a beat. ” Always.”
Alex takes a step back. Levi comes up from behind him and hands him a knife. I gulp, eyeing the sharp blade before looking into his reassuring eyes.
“Just a small cut.” Alex whispers, cutting his palm.
I nod.
He grabs my palm and pierces it with the knife. I wince, but the next moment, his fingers intertwine with mine. Our blood mingles, flowing down my wrist and his fingers.
The sparks become more powerful and a hundred voices filter through my mind, making me gasp. Right away, Alex dives in and claims my lips, taking away the pain that follows with his touch alone.
Something feels free in my chest. The pain dulls down, leaving a satisfying ache behind and the bond that I can feel forming inside my head.
I can hear the pack members cheering us on again. They chant my name with his, calling me their Luna and wishing me a happy life.
But I can’t take my eyes off the man in front of me. He is beautiful and he fulfilled his promise. He made me so happy that I don’t know where to store all this happiness now.
“Dance with me.” Alex whispers, keeping our hands intertwined.
To my surprise, my palm doesn’t hurt. It feels like the wound healed. With my wolf’s appearance, my abilities seem to be working now.
Soft music plays in the background as Alex pulls me into his arms and sways me to the romantic beat. Under the vast sky and among the pack members and my loved ones, I feel content. Everything inside me is thriving on this newfound happiness.
My lips hurt from smiling. My chest aches with the effort to hold all this love inside. My hands tremble in his warm palms.
And he holds me, sways me, loves me-with his eyes, with his words, with his actions, with his touch, with everything he has.
While swaying in his arms, I look up at the sky. All my prayers have been answered. My heart feels full. Tears well in my eyes as I lower my gaze to his eyes and smile again.
“I love you, Alex. ” I whisper.
His forehead presses into mine as he smiles freely. “I love you more, and I will love you more every day.”
For the first time, I do not doubt someone’s love for me. My pain has paid off. I haven’t failed in this life.
“Mommy! Daddy!” Ayla comes running and clings to her Daddy’s leg.
Like her best Daddy, he releases me instantly and picks her in his arms. She wraps her arm around my neck and pulls me in towards them.
“I love you too, Mommy and Daddy.” She chimes.
“This calls for a family photo! ” Daphne comes yelling again.
“You did this just this morning. “I remind her but still turn to face her phone’s camera.
“One picture with us too!” Levi announces.
“Yes.” Daphne hands the phone to another pack member and both of them rush to our side.
In one frame, together, we take a lot of pictures that night. Family-I have it now and I have family photos.
As the night grows warmer and my smile grows wider, my eyes meet Alex’s soft gaze again. And suddenly, everything feels bright.
The world is not dark anymore. It’s silver-like his beautiful eyes. And it will remain that day forever. Because he is with me.

“Dad offered you money and you took it?” I ask, unable to believe what Henry is saying.
“It was either I receive the money and the property or I die, Babe. Your Dad was not joking when he threatened to break my neck for being your boyfriend! ” His loud voice booms from the speaker.
I go silent, standing alone in the alleyway behind a VIP club in the middle of the shady part of the city. Earlier today, my Mom delivered the news that Henry had sent me a letter.
Who sends letters in this age and day? I was baffled, and thought he must have written something romantic for me, but guess what?
It was a breakup letter and he had written only two words. ‘It’s over’.
Those words were not enough to tell me what was wrong, but the drops of blood on the paper revealed the whole story.
I thought Dad must have beaten him up and asked him to break up with me, but Aaron, my younger brother told me that Henry took money from Dad to leave me alone.
I couldn’t believe it- – -until now.
“I told you who my Dad was, Henry.” I whisper, pushing the tears away. “You said you didn’t fear him. You said you were an Alpha heir who wouldn’t leave me for anything.”
“Do you want to see me dead?” He scoffs.
“It’s more about money, isn’t it? Your pack struggled with funds, so you took the first opportunity to cash our relationship.” I hiss, pressing my palm to the cold wall.
Silence echoes on the other end of the phone momentarily. My chest tightens.
“What is in this relationship for me anyway? You don’t let me touch you, let alone kiss you. You don’t like it if I take you out on dates. You don’t trust me when I tell you I want you to come to some address where a surprise is waiting for you. It’s like you are scared of me, as if I will harm you someday and you believe I will. You don’t love me, don’t trust me, and don’t want me to get near you. Is this a relationship to you? Why don’t you go and fix yourself first? ” His voice lowers.
My hands tremble as I listen to him. ” You said you didn’t care about-“
“I am a man!” He yells. “I have needs. If I can’t even fuck my girlfriend, what use is she to me?”
My lips press in a thin line as I find myself at a loss of words. He is right. What use am I to anyone when I am always scared and paranoid? Is it really a relationship if my boyfriend can’t even kiss me without me flinching or crying?
“You are not right in the fucking head! I took the money in exchange for you because you are not worth it.” He says cruelly before I hear the beeping noise from my phone.
In the coldness, I stand for a long time. The tears I kept at bay, stream down my cheeks.
