Chapter 50: A Golden Promise

*ONE WEEK LATER*

Morning air breezed through the open window, tickling my face and alerting me of the start of a new day. It’d been a week since the battle against the Ancient Alpha and Gwenna’s banishment. Aaron and Jude ended up having to use force, but she left quieter than expected, and it left me with a feeling of unease. I had no doubt that she was out there plotting her revenge. But whatever it was, we’d be ready this time.

I turned onto my stomach and stretched my arm out over Leo’s chest. He stirred at the contact and awoke with a smile.

“Good morning, princess,” he said, his voice groggy from a goodnight’s sleep. I grinned and pressed a kiss to his lips.

“Good morning, my Alpha.”

The words rolled off my tongue so effortlessly, and it elicited a small growl from him. Not only had we defeated an Ancient Alpha together, but we also earned the trust of the pack again, and Leo was kept on as Alpha of the Bloodmoon pack.
