The rest of the evening went by flawlessly My dress was ruined. but it didn’t seem to phase anyone Theo and I stayed occupied for the remainder of the reception I didn’t want to take anything away from Mina and Briggs, but there were a lot of people in attendance who hadn’t met me formally yet and wouldn’t take no for an answer. We made sure to meet them off to the side throughout the evening, so the focus remained primarily on the happy couple.

“But if her uncle is so powerful…”

“Her uncle is a strict traditionalist,” Theo interrupted. “She may be spoiled, but he takes authority very seriously. Malcolm is only a Delta within their pack, and Julie doesn’t hold a rank at all. He won’t put up with her insulting someone of a higher rank, let alone the Luna of the largest pack in the country.”
