“Are you ready for tonight?” Luna teased, a playful glint in her eyes as she adjusted the hickey on her neck. “You look stunning, by the way.”
“Stunning?” I scoffed, glancing at the mirror. “I feel like I’m wearing nothing at all!”
“Just embrace it, Ava. This is your moment!” She laughed, shooing me out of my self-doubt.
As we stepped outside, the energy in the air shifted. The pack was gathered, excitement buzzing among them, and I felt a flutter of nerves in my stomach. Gabriel, my father-in-law, stood tall, ready to make an announcement.
“Tonight, we celebrate the bond of marriage! Luna and Ava will be marked by their husbands in front of the pack!” he declared, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
My heart dropped. The realization of what was about to happen hit me like a tidal wave.
