The rest of the evening went by flawlessly My dress was ruined. but it didn’t seem to phase anyoneTheo and I stayed occupied for the remainder of the reception I didn’t want to take anything away fromMina and Briggs, but there were a lot of people in attendance who hadn’t met me formally yet andwouldn’t take no for an answer. We made sure to meet them off to the side throughout the evening, sothe focus remained primarily on the happy couple.

We left the banquet hall a little before midnight and went to the garden, where we watched Mina andBriggs say their vows to the goddess. I may have teared up a time or two. The whole experience wasso beautiful and I couldn’t be happier for either of them.

After Mina and Briggs had left, Theo and I said goodbye to all the guests. We were sending the last fewpeople off when Grace came up to us.

“You two get out of here,” she said. “The staff can handle the cleanup.”

“Are you sure?” I asked.

“Yes, of course,” she said “I’ll make sure everything is in order. We won’t be far behind you”

She gave us both a hug, and Theo took my hand, guiding me back into the packhouse I leaned againsthis shoulder as we walked, fatigue setting in We were both quiet as we returned to

our apartment. Now that the excitement and anticipation of the day were over, I started to dwell on whathappened with Julia Neale earlier.

“What are you thinking about?” Theo whispered in my as he held me in the elevator.

“That I made trouble for you with your business,” I sighed. “That whole mess with Julia wasn’t a goodthing.”

“Don’t waste any time worrying about that, babe,” Theo said firmly as we exited the elevator. “Herbehavior was absolutely unacceptable. I won’t let her get away with that blatant disrespect.”

“But if her uncle is so powerful…”

“Her uncle is a strict traditionalist,” Theo interrupted. “She may be spoiled, but he takes authority veryseriously. Malcolm is only a Delta within their pack, and Julie doesn’t hold a rank at all. He won’t put upwith her insulting someone of a higher rank, let alone the Luna of the largest pack in the country.”

“Well, I’m not technically the Luna yet,” I said.

“The title transfer is a formality,” he insisted. “No one sees you as anything less than our Luna. She willbe punished, Ayla.”

“I’d prefer just to never have to see her again,” I said bitterly.

“That can absolutely be arranged.” Theo opened our door and led me inside. “It shouldn’t be an issueregardless. I will make sure she loses her job in the company.”

“I don’t know if we need to go that far.”

Theo stopped and gave me a stern look. “That’s the least that will be done. By right, I could have senther home without her tongue. I will not allow anyone to treat you that way, let alone a woman like her.”

“Okay, okay,” I said, wrapping my arms around his waist. “Calm down. I get it. Even I can admit thatsmacking her around a bit was pretty tempting earlier.”

Theo chuckled. “I would love to see that happen.”

“Just not tonight,” I chided. “I’m exhausted.”

“I second that,” he said, taking my hand again and dragging me to the bedroom. As soon as we werethere, he started taking the pins and ties out of my hair. “Tomorrow, we’re spending the whole day inbed.”

I groaned as his fingers tugged through my hair gently. Then his hands slid my dress off my shoulders.

“Your Beta will be on his honeymoon, babe,” I said regretfully. “I think we’ll need to be around.”

“It’s Sunday,” Theo stated. “My parents can handle any immediate concerns.”

“And the rogues in the cellar?”

“Fully sedated and will remain so,” he replied. “We agreed to make us a priority. I’m enforcing that rightnow.”

I wasn’t about to argue with that. We both needed time to unwind after the ridiculous week we had. So,I gave in as he guided me to the bed. He pulled the covers down before laying

me down slowly. He undressed and climbed in with me, pulling the blankets up over us.

“Did you enjoy the ceremony?” he asked as I snuggled up to him.

“I did,” I replied with a yawn. “It was beautiful.”

“I can’t wait for ours,” he told me.

I hadn’t been able to think much about ours lately, but now that he mentioned it, I was excited about itas well. My fingers trailed along the muscles of his back as I reveled in the feel of him. He had been sosupportive and helpful to Briggs and Mina the past two days. More times than I could count, I foundmyself stopping to admire how amazing he was. I loved him so much. The thought of sharing that withour pack was exhilarating.

My lips found his. I pressed in closer as he wrapped his arms tightly around me. He groaned as Ideepened the kiss, wanting more of him. He rolled me onto my back, his hand moving down my bodyas his erection hardened against my belly.

“You know I love you, right?” I breathed.

“I hope so,” he replied with a gentle grin. “Because you mean everything to me, Ayla.”
