William POV The moment Ava agreed to follow me, my entire chest felt lighter in a way I had never experienced before. It was almost impossible to explain the strange peace flooding through my heart. For the first time in many years, the emptiness that had lived inside me slowly began to disappear. I held her hand gently while leading her through the long royal hallway of the mansion. The guards lowered their heads immediately the moment they saw us walking together. Even the servants standing by the walls exchanged surprised glances among themselves. Nobody expected their alpha to walk proudly beside a woman carrying another alpha’s child. But I did not care. Not tonight. Tonight was for Ava. The soft sound of her footsteps echoed quietly beside mine while her eyes moved around the grand hallway. The golden chandeliers hanging from the ceiling reflected beautifully against the polished marble floor. Tall silver candle stands lined both sides of the corridor, their flames dancing softly as if they were welcoming their future Luna home. Ava suddenly tightened her fingers around mine. I stopped walking and turned toward her. “What is wrong?” I asked softly. She looked up at me, her beautiful eyes carrying confusion and disbelief at the same time. “Everything still feels unreal,” she whispered. “I never imagined someone would do all this for me.” A painful anger rose inside me immediately. Alpha Adrian truly never deserved her. How could a man treat such a precious woman like she was worthless? I lifted my hand slowly and brushed her cheek gently. “You deserve far more than this, Ava,” I said sincerely. “And I will spend every day proving it to you.” Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. Instead, her eyes became glossy. I could already tell she was trying hard not to cry again. I continued leading her down the hallway until we finally stopped in front of two enormous silver doors decorated with moon carvings and ancient pack symbols. The doors alone looked magnificent. Silver roses were carefully engraved around the edges while glowing crystal stones reflected against the walls. Two servants immediately pushed the doors open the moment they saw me. The instant the doors opened, Ava froze completely. Her breath caught sharply. “Oh… my goddess…” Even I could not stop myself from smiling at her reaction. The room was breathtaking. The massive chamber was larger than most apartments within the pack territory. The ceiling stretched high above us like the inside of a palace ballroom. A giant crystal chandelier hung in the center, sparkling beautifully like falling stars. The walls were painted with soft silver and royal blue colors that blended perfectly together. Long transparent curtains flowed gently beside enormous windows that overlooked the entire pack lands. The moonlight slipped through the glass and illuminated the room with a dreamy glow. At the center stood an enormous king-sized bed decorated with white silk sheets and silver embroidery. Fresh roses were scattered carefully across the bed while soft candles surrounded the entire area. A fireplace burned quietly near the far corner of the room, creating warmth that made everything feel peaceful and intimate. Beside the fireplace stood a luxurious fur rug large enough for several people to sit comfortably. There was also a long balcony decorated with glowing lanterns and moon flowers. The scent inside the room was heavenly. Fresh roses. Vanilla. Jasmine. And something warm that immediately relaxed the soul. Ava slowly covered her mouth with both hands. “No…” she whispered in disbelief. She released my hand and began walking slowly around the room like someone trapped inside a beautiful dream. Her fingers brushed carefully against the silk curtains. Then she touched the bed softly. She turned toward the chandelier again. “This room…” she whispered shakily. “This room is more beautiful than the royal chambers in the academy stories.” I leaned against the door while watching her admire every part of the room. The happiness on her face alone made everything worth it. She moved toward the large mirror standing beside the wardrobe area and stared at her reflection for a few seconds. “I cannot believe this belongs to me,” she said quietly. “It belongs to us,” I corrected gently. She looked back at me immediately. That look in her eyes nearly destroyed my self-control completely. Nobody had ever looked at me with such softness before. Not fear. Not duty. Not admiration because I was alpha. Just pure emotion. Ava walked slowly toward the balcony doors and pushed them open carefully. Cool night air entered the room immediately, causing her hair to flow gently behind her. The moonlight touched her face perfectly. At that moment, she looked less like an ordinary woman and more like a goddess standing under the night sky. She turned around slowly with excitement glowing across her entire face. “Alpha Williams…” she whispered. “Call me Lucian,” I interrupted softly. She hesitated for a moment before nodding shyly. “Lucian… this is the most beautiful place I have ever seen.” I walked toward her carefully until only a small distance remained between us. “You are the reason it became beautiful.” Her cheeks immediately turned red. The shy smile that appeared on her lips almost stole the remaining control I had left. For several seconds, neither of us spoke. The tension between us grew stronger quietly. Dangerously stronger. My eyes slowly lowered toward her lips. Ava noticed immediately. Her breathing changed softly. I lifted my hand carefully and brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Her body trembled lightly beneath my touch. “You are nervous,” I whispered. “A little,” she admitted honestly. “You do not need to fear me.” “I know.” The way she answered nearly shattered me completely. I leaned closer slowly, giving her enough time to stop me if she wanted. But she did not move away. Instead, her eyes slowly closed. That alone was enough permission. My lips finally touched hers softly. The kiss began gently. Carefully. Almost cautiously. Like both of us were afraid of ruining the fragile moment between us. But the instant Ava responded, something inside me snapped completely. I pulled her closer instinctively while deepening the kiss slightly. Her fingers grabbed my shirt tightly while she pressed herself closer against me. The bond between us reacted immediately. Warmth spread through my entire chest. Her scent surrounded me completely. Moonlight. Wild flowers. And something uniquely Ava. My heart pounded harder against my chest while my hands carefully rested against her waist. For a few beautiful seconds, the world completely disappeared. Nothing existed except her. Then suddenly, Ava slowly pulled away. Her breathing had become uneven. I immediately stepped back. “I'm sorry to have taken you unaware,” I said quickly. For a second she simply stared at me. Then she smiled. And goddess… That smile. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life. Not forced and not fearful. Just warm and genuine. “I am not angry,” she whispered softly. Her fingers slowly touched my face. “I just… I have never been treated gently before.” Those words hit me painfully. I rested my forehead lightly against hers. “Then allow me to show you what love is supposed to feel like.” Her eyes became emotional again. This time, however, she did not cry. Instead, she leaned closer and hugged me tightly. I wrapped my arms around her immediately. Neither of us moved for several minutes. The warmth between us felt peaceful. Safe and real. Eventually, a knock interrupted the moment. Ava quickly stepped away shyly while trying to calm herself. “Come in,” I said. Two maids entered carefully carrying several large boxes covered with silk fabric. The moment they looked at Ava, their eyes widened in admiration. “My Luna,” one of them greeted respectfully. Ava looked shocked by the title again. “The preparation is complete,” the maid continued. “The dress, jewelry, and everything required for tonight’s ceremony has arrived.” Ava looked toward me nervously. I smiled softly. “Go with them. Tonight the entire pack will finally see their Luna.” The maids guided Ava toward the dressing section of the room while other servants entered carrying perfumes, silver heels, hair accessories, and jewelry. I sat quietly near the fireplace while watching the preparation begin. Hours passed slowly. But honestly, I did not mind. Because every few minutes Ava would look toward me shyly while the maids continued dressing her. And every single time I saw her, she somehow became even more beautiful. Finally, one of the maids smiled proudly. “My Alpha,” she whispered respectfully. “She is ready.” I slowly stood up. Then turned around. And the moment I saw Ava fully, my entire body froze. She looked breathtaking. Absolutely breathtaking. The silver gown hugged her body perfectly while the flowing fabric shimmered beautifully beneath the chandelier lights. Tiny moon crystals decorated the edges of the dress, making her appear almost magical whenever she moved. Her long hair flowed down her back in soft curls decorated with silver accessories and white flowers. The makeup on her face was soft and elegant, enhancing her natural beauty without hiding it. But it was her eyes that completely destroyed me. Confidence now existed within them. Never a sign of fear. The maids themselves looked speechless. One of them even whispered quietly to another. “She looks like the Moon Goddess herself.” Honestly, I agreed. Ava turned toward the mirror slowly. The moment she saw herself clearly, she covered her mouth again in shock. “Is… is this truly me?” “Yes,” I answered immediately. She looked toward me carefully. I walked closer until I stood directly before her. “You are ten times more beautiful than before,” I whispered honestly. Her cheeks turned red again. Then suddenly she laughed softly. A genuine laugh. The sound alone made my chest tighten emotionally. “I never thought I could look like this,” she admitted. “You were always beautiful, Ava. People were simply too blind to see it.” Her eyes softened immediately. The maids finished adjusting the final parts of her dress before stepping aside respectfully. “It is time, Alpha,” one of them announced. I nodded slowly. Then extended my hand toward Ava. She stared at my hand for several seconds before finally placing hers inside mine. The moment our fingers intertwined, I felt complete. Together, we walked toward the grand ceremony hall. The sounds of voices and music echoed loudly throughout the mansion. Hundreds of pack members had already gathered for the evening celebration. The moment the large hall doors opened, silence instantly swallowed the entire room. Every eye turned toward us. And immediately the reactions began. Shock,disbelief, confusion and admiration. Some people literally stood from their seats. Others whispered among themselves. Several women stared openly at Ava with jealousy and amazement. The same people who once mocked her now looked completely speechless. One warrior near the front whispered loudly without realizing. “Goddess… she is beautiful.” Another person muttered. “That wolfless girl?” “No… impossible…” I felt Ava tense slightly beside me. Immediately, I squeezed her hand reassuringly. “You are safe,” I whispered quietly. Together, we walked down the enormous staircase toward the center of the hall. The entire pack could not stop staring at her. Honestly, neither could I. The moonlight from the high windows reflected against her silver dress perfectly, making her glow beautifully before everyone. I stepped forward proudly beside her. Then raised my voice across the hall. “Tonight is not only important to me as your alpha… but important to our entire pack.” Complete silence filled the hall. I turned toward Ava briefly before continuing. “This woman standing beside me is no longer a guest within our territory.” Murmurs immediately spread. I continued firmly. “She is my mate.” The entire hall exploded with shock. Gasps echoed everywhere. Several elders exchanged stunned glances. But I did not stop. “And tonight, before the Moon Goddess and before every member of this pack…” I reached for Ava’s hand completely. “I officially announce Ava as your Luna.” Silence followed again. Then suddenly Cheers erupted across the hall. The warriors slammed their fists proudly against their chests while several women began clapping excitedly. Even the elders eventually bowed respectfully toward Ava. But what mattered most to me was her expression. She was filled with joy. I stepped closer and wiped one tear gently from her cheek. “You are no longer alone,” I whispered. And for the first time since meeting her, Ava smiled without fear completely. Even so, I have to find out her true identity, where she belongs. While the celebration was on, my wolf started reacting to signs, it was so dangerous. “ I sense danger.” I said within myself.
