Luna Lovette’s POV
“Alpha Kodak, what brings you here?” One of the elders inquired. I had kept the purpose of our meeting a secret until now, as they were unaware of

“Hello, I assume you are one of the elders of the Silver pack,” Alpha Kodak replied with a confidence that bordered on arrogance.
“Yes, I am Elder Dean, the most senior among us. Allow me to warmly welcome you,” Dean, the first elder to speak, introduced himself.
He neglected to mention that he was also the most controversial among them, but I chose not to reveal this immediately, especially since the other three cklers seemed overly deferential.
“Alpha Kodak and Luna Lovette, please take a seat, Cassius said politely, gesturing towards the chairs he had arranged.
However, Alpha Kodak pulled me close to him. While it wasn’t the first time we had been in such proximity, his scent enveloped me, and things took a strange him
Despite the discomfort, I endured it, hoping it would pass quickly. Eventually, he released me, and I settled into the chair beside him,
The elders‘ reactions to our actions were priceless, and I could see why Alpha Kodak was pretending
“You two seem close the second elder, Aber, inquired. I replied shortly, “That’s why I called this meeting.”
Just as I was about to continue, Alpha Kodak gently rubbed the top of my hand, causing me to pause and swallow my words.
I wasn’t sure if he was doing it intentionally, but these displays of fake intimacy were making me uncomfortable.
“Elders of the Silver Pack, most of you may have heard about my relationship with Zeeva. I want to inform you that we have broken up, and I am getting married to Luna Lovette, Alpha Kodak announced.
I noticed the strange expressions on the elders‘ faces, and I was relieved that Alpha Ködak addressed his previous relationship with Zeeva upfront to avoid further questions.
However, the elden‘ behavior was embarrassing. “Are you certain about this? Are you ready to be our Alpha?”
I couldn’t control the trembling of my fingers. They were eager for an Alpha as they despised the idea of having me, a she–wolf, to be their leader.
However, I was curious to hear Alpha Kodak’s response, wondering if he shared their misogynistic views.
Surprisingly. Alpha Kodak sensed my frustration and gently rubbed the top of my hand, instantly calming me
“You are misunderstanding, my elders,” he explained, their faces showing confusion.
“Even after our marriage, we will remain independent rulers of our packs, but we will support each other when needed. My stubborn elders were not pleased with this news, but I didn’t care
The idea of Alpha Kodak taking over my pack seemed absurd, but I couldn’t get rid of them. The elders held power in the pack constitution to
maintain checks and balances
“Alright. but I hope you both will attend Alpha Ricky’s mating ceremony together. It’s important for our packs, Elder Dean mentioned.
Alpha Kodak looked at me, but I avoided his gaze. I don’t know if they noticed, but Elder Dean continued nonetheless, asking,
“When do you intend to marry anyway! It should be at least a month to help us prepare.”
I almost agreed with him on that one, except that Alpha Kodak took the words out of my mouth.
“That’s too long. With two people in love, I don’t know why anything should stop us. She already spent the night with me and met my pack members. They love her, and I’m hoping to meet her pack too.”
If I were the one speaking, they would have come up with a thousand and one reasons, but with Alpha Kodak, they only kept bobbing their heads
like fools.

“Okay, okay, the fact that we are

I can run to you in case of troubles is enough for us, Elder Aber said, my teeth gritted tog But once again, Alpha Rodak spoke in my favor
“Don’t
worry.

ow of Luna Lovelette’s capabilities, so I’m sure there won’t be any problems needing my attention from here.”
I stood up, reaching out to Alpha Kodak to signal that we should address the pack members. “I can hear the pack members approaching. Let’s speak

to them before you depart. We all know how busy you are,” I said, catching myself before revealing his title prematurely.
I linked my hand with his, seeking his support, which he readily provided. The excitement on the faces of my pack members indicated that they were already aware of the news
“Luna, is it true? Beta Cassius mentioned that Alpha Kodak is going to marry you and he has ended things with Zeeva, a young pack member, Aisha, inquired.
Aisha, at twelve years old, was a source of joy within the pack, and her innocent question helped to dispel the anger I felt towards the elders.
“Yes, my dear. Invitations will be sent out tomorrow”
I caught Alpha Kodak typing on his phone and couldn’t resist peeking. My eyebrows raised when I saw him sending a message to his beta. “Send out
the invitations.”
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I had said tomorrow, and he was already sending them out today,
“We hope Zeeva won’t cause trouble. She’s really in love with Alpha Kodak, and he loves her too
From how well they seemed to know the details of Alpha Kodak’s relationship, I was tempted to prob some more as he did to me at this pack, but I was already getting tired.
I must be early pregnancy signs, and I tried hard to suppress the yawn that
t wanted to escape me.
“You look tired. I’m sorry to stress you out, but after this, you should have lunch and rest well.”
“I will“tagreed. The major issues had been taken care of, so I should be able to rest, but how wrong I
Alpha Kodak left in a sorrowful mood after I rejected his proposition to sleep over
None of his excuses were strong enough for me to allow it. I needed my space.
“You slept at his pack and should have invited him too,” Embry said with a disappointed tone. I could still hear the excitement of the pack members.
Alpha Kodak was known to be ruthless, but it was clear that he was the type of Alpha every pack wanted.
His ruthlessness was directed towards his enemies, while his pack enjoyed his compassion
Despite the promises he made, including training with my warriors whenever he visited, I hoped he would keep them.
I knew he was doing it for me since I couldn’t participate in hard training anymore, but the realization that it was all a show weighed heavily on me.
“Don’t forget we aren’t married yet, I reminded her, relieved that she agreed
“You’re right, but I’m glad you agreed to go through with the miting ceremony with him”
I had initially refused, but after seeing the marks on his back, I couldn’t shake the feeling that they were related to the pup. I felt compelled to make up for the sacrifices, especially since I would be keeping this pup for my pack.
“The pack members and the elders didn’t leave me much choice,” I yawned.
I let you rest. I’m glad Alpha Kodak enjoys our chef’s cooking. He’s not as terrifying as the rumors suggest,” Embry said, her excitement palpable.
Alpha Kodal apprecuted my cher’s cooking, just as I enjoyed his. Speaking of his softer side, I had to agree, except when he was upset
I couldn’t forget the monster I witnessed dealing with those rogues. “You should see him in a fight.”
“Tin not surprised. Every pack needs thut, and I thought if I’m here, you wouldn’t sleep well.”
She tucked me into bed and burried out before I could bring up another concern
I closed my eyes, hoping for sleep, but it cluded me. i was different from when I stayed over at Alpha Kodak’s packhouse.
Nh matter how long I kept my eyes closed, sleep did not come, and this continued for a few days.
Alpha Kodak called every day to check on us after the news of the marriage went viral.
Many people called to confirm if it was true. They couldn’t believe that Alpha Kodak had left Zeeva, but that was his issue to resolve
With sleep evading me each day. I started feeling sick but declined when Alpha Kodak offered to visit.

However, he insisted on picking me up for the mating ceremony and made a strange offer when we spoke on the phone.
“I want your beta to stand in der me because my beta and two warriors are accompanying us
I knew Cassins would not else, but what if the sinuation changed “Are you sure? And question and followed it with a prompt response,

“A betas, they should learn more about each other’s packs, and the best time is when they are left alone to figure things out. The next time you visit, my beta can be there to support yours since we will both be in my pack.”
His unconventional solution seemed to be the most promising, and I agreed. “Alright.”
Tell him to come visis, or the sleeplessness will take a toll on you, Olga advised, but I was hesitant to let my guard down.
No,‘ I replied firmly.
You will perish before you have this pup. Your lack of sleep is due to the pup. He or she longs for his father, just as Alpha Kodak longs for him or her, Olga continued.

Another yawn escaped me, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep in the comfort of my bed.
“Kodak, 1 was wondering.“I began.
“Call me Kody, it’s more casual. So, what did you want to tell me?” he interrupted, as I heard someone knock, followed by an entrance. It was
