Leo looked towards us. I knew he’d probably heard us. His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at me.I knew it was me that he resented. He’d gone to Uncle Al’s pack, but this was the first time in years that he had come here. He looked away, and Delsanra placed a hand on my leg. I looked down at her.
Ever since I had gone to the Sangue Pack… Leo had never been the same with me. I knew he hated me for what I had done that night, but even when I tried to explain it two Christmases ago, he told me to fuck off. But regardless of the fact, like Dad would have wanted, I’d keep trying with him.
“You look fucking fine, Amore Mio.”
“Thanks, baby,” Kiara whispered back, kissing him. Uncle Al tilted his head, looking at Mom.
“You keeping the girls tonight, Mari?”
“Yes,” Mom replied with a smile. Uncle smirked.
“Love you,” he said. She smiled back, and I smiled, loving the bond they had built.
“You really ask for too much,” Kiara scolded him.
“I fucking don’t.”
“I love the company,” Mom added.
A moment of sadness washed over us. Delsanra and Kiara took Mom’s hands, smiling gently at her. Uncle turned to Delsanra, smirking as he caught me staring at her breasts.
“Once again, congratulations, spitfire, on the position, but if you ever get bored of Rayhan, I’m sure Dante would love to have you as his queen,” he snickered. Everyone burst out laughing as I glared at Uncle.
“No thanks, I’ll keep her entertained,” I said, standing up. “Let’s dance, Kitten.”
“Hmm… only if you sing for me,” she whispered.
“As you wish…”
I pulled her into my arms, mind-linking the DJ to change the music. I took her hand, wrapping my other around her waist as we began to dance, and I began to sing, pouring my emotions and love into that song. Others joined us on the dance floor, and even when the first drops of rain began falling, no one cared, enjoying the highs of the night. Delsanra locked her arms around my neck loosely, and I pulled her against me, grinding against her. Under the night sky, I claimed her lips in a sizzling kiss.
Our journey hadn’t been easy, but it had been worth it. No matter how hard life got or how dark, things would always get better.
We broke apart, turning our gaze up as the first stream of fireworks erupted in the sky, illuminating Delsanra’s face as she gazed up at it, a beautiful smile on her face.
“To Alpha Rayhan and Luna Delsanra!” Chris shouted as another stream of fireworks went off.
“Congratulations, Luna,” I whispered, wrapping my arms around her once more. Our lips met in a sizzling kiss, setting off our own fireworks that erupted within us…
