Chapter 22

“So anyways. I had to explain to this poor cop that my new cousin was drunk and not having a seizure. Oh goodness, Maria was plastered that night if I knew she was a lightweight I wouldn’t have started with tequila shots. That my dear is why you have your friends with you,”

I had tears in my eyes from laughing so much at this ridiculous story. I was now fully aware that Amaria was a troublemaker, she had so many stories before her binding that I find it hard to believe that her pack survived her youth.

I finished my food and sat back sipping my wine, a contentment washing over me as I chit–chatted with the people at our table.

Two young wolves approached the table their parents behind them and I sat up as their faces looked nervous.

Grayson too turned his head. “Is something the matter?”

The voices in the pavilion cut out in a second.

“Alpha, Luna,” the young man bowed his head. “I would like to take Vivienne as my mate,”

“You’ve been together for two years. I was wondering when this would happen,” Grayson’s l*ps quirked up into a smile.

“We ask for your permission to come together,” the young woman looked at the floor.

“Annette?” Grayson turned his head slightly. “Any objections?”

“Will you love her every day even when she upsets you?” I looked over at the boy. He was older than me but young. These two must have grown up together in their class.

“Yes, my Luna,” his head d popped up to look over at me surprised at my question.

“Will you ever turn your back on her? Leave her alone? Let her go through trials by herself?” I continued. 1

“Never,” his spine straightened.

“Will you keep her happiness in your heart as your drive, always being open with her?”

“Of course,” he grabbed her hand so strongly and the smile on her face was deafening.

“And you, will you support him through his fears? Will you keep him even when he seems far away?” I turned my attention to the girl.

“Yes Luma,” she raised her chin.

“Will you let him bare himself to you like nob*dy else? Keep his confidence? Bolster his faith in himself? Be unconditional to him?”

“Every day” she looked over at him their love a strong chain encircling them.
