Elara's Ashford POV
All my life I had waited for this moment. To be mated to my beloved.
My Kade.
My boyfriend of five years.
Kade Greystone, royal carpenter and most sort out male in all of Crimson pack, had fallen for me, a weak wolf girl.
At first I thought maybe it was because I was the alpha's daughter but no, he loved me and tonight the goddess shall grant me her blessing.
The entire pack was gathered for the ceremony, their eyes on me as I walked toward the center of the clearing in my white frilly dress, where the fated pairs would be revealed. My heart was hammering in my chest, and I felt like I might explode from the anticipation.
Everyone was whispering, exchanging glances, waiting to see who would be mated to who.
And then I saw him.
