Ella POV
Elizabeth and I talked for a while, and I found that we really hit it off far more than I ever could have expected. It was nice to have a normal conversation with someone, especially after everything I had been through in the last few weeks.
She was intelligent, brave, and confident—everything I hoped to be. I could see why there were so many rumors that her father planned to make her Alpha when he was ready to retire; I could tell that she would be a wonderful leader.
I didn’t drag myself away from our conversation until it was time for David and me to begin accepting gifts from the guests.
There was a long line of people waiting to approach the head table and present their gifts to us. David and I stood in front of the table with our parents on either side of us
