She opened her eyes and smiled at me.

“Ellie is your sister?” she asked.

“Yes,” I said, giving her a small nod. “I am so sorry about her. She can be a bit much, but she means well.”

“Oh, don’t be sorry!” Ali exclaimed, her eyes widening. “My greatest fear was that my mate or his family wouldn't accept me. Seeing her so happy and excited was such a relief.”

I pulled her to my chest and hugged her tightly.

“Of course we will accept you, beautiful,” I said, enjoying the tingles I felt all over my body. “Why wouldn't we?”

She shrugged a little and got more comfortable in my arms.

“I don’t know,” she said quietly. “I was always afraid of it.”

I stroked her hair and kissed her temple.

“There is no need to be afraid,” I said softly. “You are mine, beautiful. I would never reject you.”

She was mine. Only mine.

I breathed in her scent and smiled.

“Tell me a little bit about yourself,” I said as I ran my fingers through her hair. “What pack are you from?”

She lifted her head and looked at me with confusion in her eyes.

“Red Moon,” she said.” Didn’t you notice I was talking to Maddie?”

My eyes widened and she chuckled quietly.

“You know Maddie?” I asked.

I really didn’t notice. I was focused on her from the moment I walked inside the throne room. All I saw was her. All I noticed was her.

“Maddie is my best friend,” she said and I could tell that she was trying not to laugh. “We grew up together.”

My eyes widened even more.

“Really?” I asked and she couldn't hold back the laughter anymore.

I was glad, though. It was the most wonderful thing I had ever heard. I never wanted her to stop laughing. Her laughter was making my heart race and I couldn't help but smile brightly.

Her laughter subsided and I was a little bit disappointed.

“Really,” she said, still chuckling a little.

“What a small world,” I mumbled as I leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

I couldn't stop kissing her. I just enjoyed the taste of her skin so fucking much. I wanted to kiss her lips again, but I wasn’t sure if she would be okay with that. I couldn't hold back before so I kissed her without even thinking about it. But I was scared that I crossed a boundary and I had to remind myself to be mindful of that.

“I can’t believe that she is a Queen,” Ali said and a small smile spread across her face. “She definitely deserves it. She is going to be amazing.”

I smiled and gave her a small nod.

“She already is,” I said. “She is perfect for Dimitri.”

Ali furrowed her brows a little.
