Damian snorts. “Give him time. He’s probably already plotting

“Don’t give him ideas,” I warn playfully, stepping closer to Soren. He wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me against his side.

“We were just finalizing some security measures for the wedding,” Soren explains. “We’ll have guards stationed around the perimeter and a few mixed in with the guests. If Alaric tries anything, we’ll be ready.”

“And Alaric?” I ask quietly, my voice barely above a whisper. “He’s really coming?”

Soren nods, his expression darkening slightly. “He confirmed his attendance this morning with Damian. Everything’s going according to plan.”

I swallow hard, the weight of what’s to come settling heavily on my shoulders. “Good,” I say, though the word feels hollow. “Let’s just hope it stays that way.”

Soren squeezes my waist gently, offering silent reassurance. “It will. We’ll handle it. Everything is going according to plan.” I nod slowly.

“And we really can’t let Max be a part of the ceremony. It feels weird he isn’t involved. He asked about being the ring boy again.”
