Michael felt a little teary-eyed as he watched the two women walk towards him and Rafe. They were so different. One dark skinned and the other pale. One with black curls and the other with coppery waves. One tall and lithe and the other small and curvy. They were as different in looks as two women could be and yet, where it mattered, they were exactly thesame.
Strong. Fierce. Independent. Loyal. Caring. Kind. They were the kind of females that would never be content sitting at home and raising pups. They would be involved in the pack, every day, helping to lead it and steer it into a bright future, not just for themselves or their mates, but for their children andgrandchildren.
He and Rafe were lucky, luckymen.
Arm in arm, Luna and Zoey walked towards them. It was tradition for the female to walk down the aisle alone. Her elders and family comprised the first circle and encased the couple, but in this case both Zoey and Luna’s families were all around them. Instead of taking turns, the women had chosen to walk in together, side-by-side, just as they intended to live their lives with Michael and Rafe. As sisters, today andforever.
Once they’d breached the inner circle, the two women paused and turned to each other. This wasn’t part of the traditional ceremony but Michael suddenly understood why they’d come in the way they had. Zoey and Luna faced one another, holding hands, they kissed each other on both cheeks and then they crossed paths to stand in front of theirmates.
It was a beautiful nod to fate. Michael smiled as Luna slipped her hand into his. He watched as Rafe all but grabbed Zoey and hauled her into his arms, eliciting a giggle from the redhead and laughter from the crowd of onlookers who had risen again to watch theceremony.
In another life, in another time, things could have ended so differently. Rafe was supposed to have been the Pack Alpha. Michael would have been the second in command. If fate hadn’t sent them down this path, maybe they wouldn’t have ended up here, or maybe they would have, but with different mates. They’d all crossed paths in so many ways, but until it had been time for fate to make her moves, they’d hadn’t known what was standing right in front ofthem.
They did now. Forever stretched out in front of them. Fate had given them their perfect mates. Now they would have forever to make the perfect life with them and forever started rightnow.
TheEnd…
or the beginning offorever.
