Thane “You were wonderful out there.” Lyric smiles at me as I sway us on the dance floor. “I was terrified.” I won’t tell her that it was evident to me. Every else seemed oblivious. “I love you, Thane.” I smile and kiss her softly. “I love you, too.” The party is in full swing, and Lyric and I do the rounds. Meeting Alphas and Luna’s from packs far and wide, Lyric is wonderful. She commands the room as a Queen should, and all bow respectfully. “Thane?” I look down at my baby sister, looking precious in her party dress, smiling up at me. “Will you dance with me?” How can I refuse that little face? “Go on.” Lyric chuckles and kisses my cheek. “I’ll talk with Starr until you’re done.” I kiss Lyric, then hold my hand out to Esme. She takes it with a smile and leads me to the dancefloor
