*Payne*
I stood at the altar at the top of the hill where the packhouse once stood. Instead of rebuilding the Pomeni mansion, we’d left the hilltop empty.
Now, it was where I was getting married.
An arch made of vines stood behind me and white cherry blossoms from a nearby tree blew in the wind, sending white petals skittering across the ground.
Guests sat in tiered seats on the hill with a white silk carpet laid out between the chair rows as an aisle.
The sun was setting just behind the hill, making the sky orange, purple, and pink. It was such a stunning view but I couldn’t stop staring at the end of the aisle, waiting to see my bride.
Since we first settled in Pomeni, we’d been hiding behind Mila’s magical barrier. But now that the rest of the world knew we were here, we had to establish ourselves as a legitimate pack. The Alpha’s wedding was the perfect coming out for us.
