Kamrynn’s POV
The day had finally arrived. The day I would become Calvin’s mate and the Luna of the Obsidian Pack. The excitement and nervous energy buzzed under my skin as Amara helped me into my dress, her gentle hands smoothing down the delicate fabric as she adjusted it on my frame.
“You’re going to steal the spotlight, Kamrynn,” Amara teased with a grin, stepping back to admire her work.
I glanced at my reflection in the mirror and felt my breath catch in my throat. The dress was stunning—a pristine white gown that hugged my figure perfectly, flowing down in soft, elegant waves. Amara had kept my makeup light, just enough to enhance my features, and the way my sky-blue eyes stood out against the subtle shimmer made me feel… beautiful.
“Wow,” I whispered, still in awe.
“You look like an angel,” Amara said, beaming with pride. “Calvin’s not going to know what hit him.”
Across the room, Marlana sat with the twins in her lap. Arabella was dressed in a frilly lavender dress, while Astor wore a little suit that made him look like a miniature version of his father. They were both so adorable it almost hurt to look at them.
“They’re perfect,” I said, smiling at my children.
“They take after their mother,” Marlana said warmly, bouncing Arabella gently on her knee.
Amara moved behind me and began styling my hair, her fingers quick and efficient as she worked the strands into soft curls. She topped it off with a delicate tiara, the silver glinting in the light as she positioned it carefully on my head.
“There,” she said, stepping back with a satisfied nod. “Now you’re ready.”
I turned to her, feeling a surge of emotion well up inside me. “Do you think Calvin’s ready?” I asked, unable to keep the eagerness out of my voice.
Amara gave me a knowing smile. “Franklin told me that Calvin barely slept last night. He’s been asking to see you all morning.”
I raised my eyebrows in surprise. “Really?”
She laughed. “Really. He’s been pacing around like a caged wolf, begging Franklin to let him sneak a peek at you, even for a second. But Franklin wouldn’t let him. You know, tradition and all.”
I couldn’t help but smile at that. I knew exactly how he felt. We’d spent the night apart, not just because of all the last-minute preparations, but because it was tradition for the couple not to see each other the day before the mating ceremony. It had only been one day, but it felt like forever.
“I’m eager to see him too,” I admitted softly.
Amara’s grin widened. “Well, you won’t have to wait much longer. You’re all done.”
I turned back to the mirror, and the sight of my reflection almost brought me to tears. I looked… radiant. Like a bride. Like a Luna.
I never thought this day would come, I thought, my eyes misting over. All those nights spent locked in that cold, dark cell… all those times I was chained to Calvin’s bed, tormented by him… it all felt like a distant memory now. I had survived. I had come so far. And today, I was finally going to be happy.
“Don’t cry!” Amara warned, her voice playful but firm. “You’ll ruin your makeup.”
I blinked quickly, trying to hold back the tears.
Marlana smiled at me from her spot by the window, her eyes shining with pride. “You look beautiful, Kamrynn. Absolutely perfect. You’re exactly what this Pack needs. You’re going to be an amazing Luna. You’ll bring peace, joy, and prosperity to our people.”
Her words touched something deep inside me, and I turned to face her fully. “Thank you… Mother,” I said softly. It was the first time I had ever addressed her as that but the word slipped out of my mouth naturally, it felt right.
Marlana’s eyes widened, and then they filled with tears. She handed the twins to Amara and crossed the room to pull me into a warm, motherly hug.
“May you live a happy and beautiful life, my dear,” she whispered, her voice clouded with emotion. “You deserve it.”
I hugged her back, feeling a lump rise in my throat.
When we finally pulled apart, I turned to my children and kissed each of them on their soft, chubby cheeks. “Mummy and Daddy are finally going to be together,” I told them, my voice filled with love and promise. “We’re going to be a happy family from now on.”
Astor gurgled in response, and Arabella cooed, reaching out to grab my hair. I laughed and held them both close for a moment before handing them back to Amara.
Marlana wiped her eyes and straightened her posture. “It’s time,” she said gently, holding out her hand to me.
I took it, my heart racing with anticipation as she led me toward the door. Together, we walked down the corridor toward the Grand Hall, where Calvin was waiting for me, and where our new life together was about to begin.
My heart raced with anticipation as Marlana and I approached the Grand Hall. The soft murmur of conversation drifted through the grand double doors, but it wasn’t until we stepped inside that the sheer beauty of the place took my breath away.
