*Anne* “I’m so glad you’re finally back in the city. I have missed you dreadfully.” Reaching across the small round table in the garden, I smile and squeeze the hand of my dearest friend, Luna Sarah Westfield. "I have missed you as well." "I can serve as your chaperone this Season." She says, smiling happily. I laugh lightly. It has been three years since Sarah married the Alpha of Fairwoods. I attended her wedding and served as her maid of honor. I always planned for Sarah to assist me when the time came to exchange vows with Walter. We decided to toss aside the societal rules that said a married she-wolf could not stand beside a bride. We were going to allow it to happen. It is silly now to wonder if the possibility of flaunting convention had been responsible for fate's nasty turn
