Chapter 7
On our mating ceremony day, the Silverwood Estate looked absolutely stunning with its endless green lawns.[]
I wore a gorgeous white gown, arriving in a flower–covered vintage Bentley.[]
The engine hummed softly while a string quartet played in the background.[]
Zethar stood on the lawn in his perfectly tailored suit, eyes bright when he waited for me.[]
I took his hand stepping out of the car, and we walked together toward the altar they’d set up under the ancient oak trees.[]
Rose petals scattered in the breeze, butterflies fluttered around us, and everyone was clapping like crazy.
After our pack’s Beta coordinator got things started, Zethar totally ditched his prepared speech and just poured his heart out for ten straight minutes.[]
I watched his jaw shake, say t
his hands trembling.
By the end, his eyes were glassy with tears and his voice was all wobbly.[]

When I started tearing up, Zethar immediately wrapped me in his arms.[]
His heart was going absolutely wild against his chest.
He was nervous as hell but also over the moon.
The thing is, he really did love me.

Every word of those vows was genuine.But so was his cheating.
Somehow both things were just… true at the same time.[]
The Beta coordinator stepped up to the mic.[]
“We’ll pause here for dinner, and reconvene for the vows at eight tonight.“]
That wasn’t what we’d rehearsed.[]
Zethar–shot a “what the hell?” look at the coordinator.
I squeezed his arm softly.[]
“My command,” I whispered.[]
But when eight o’clock rolled around, standing there surrounded by white roses under those twinkling lights, I looked straight into Zethar’s hopeful eyes and said clearly.

“I don’t.I would never be your Luna!“[]
The coordinator’s face went blank. Gasps rippled through the packs.[]
The pure joy in Zethar’s eyes died instantly, replaced by confusion, then slowly burning into fury.[]
He was staring daggers at me while I just looked back, totally calm.[]
Right on cue, the clock tower chimed eight times. The ceremony lights dimmed as fireworks burst to life over Moonlight Lake.[]
Every color you could imagine painted the night sky–gold, silver, deep purple, brilliant white.
The reflections shimmered on the water like something out of a fairy tale.[]
I took it all in for a moment, then calmly unfastened my cathedral train and walked down from the altar.
The ceremony I’d spent months planning, obsessing over every tiny detail, was finally over.[]
