Chapter 137

Skylar

With one last glance at my reflection, I take a deep breath and follow Daisy out of the room. The girls from earlier shoot me dirty looks, but I tell myself they are just jealous.

‘They definitely are; Jinx agrees. You’re going to be a wonderful Luna, and they just want to take your spot…and your future husband.‘

I blush at that. ‘I don’t know if Lucas wants me to be his future wife…

“Eh, Luna… wife…same thing. He is basically yours already. Trust me on that.‘

My wolf’s words warn my heart, and I smile as I follow Daisy through the corridors. We attract looks from other pack members as we walk. Some are kind, offering smiles and waves. Others hold veiled hostility.

Lucas is waiting for me by the door to the balcony and I can see the bright lights from the mansion’s garden, lighting up the eternal darkness. In spite of the whispers and judgment, I feel safe knowing my mate is right by my side.

He is clad in a black suit that accentuates his muscular body, the sleek fabric clinging to him perfectly. His eyes light up when he spots me approaching; his gaze rakes over my body before finally settling on my face. My heart skips a beat at the intensity of his stare.

“You look stunning, Skylar,” he murmurs, taking a step towards me. “I couldn’t ask for a more beautiful Luna. That dress really fits you.”

“Thank you.”

He smiles and takes my hand in his, leading me out on the balcony so my Luna ceremony can begin.
