In front of everyone, he pulls me even closer and kisses me. Around us, people burst into applause and scream and shout. It’s pure, beautiful chaos and happiness.
The entire party is in full swing, and to my astonishment, I am being treated like a queen. The number of pack members who have come past to offer me something special, to bring me a gift of some sort… It’s so unexpected. Even Lila, who offered me her grandmother’s gold bracelet. A beautiful piece with immense sentimental value.
“There is no chance I’m taking that from you, Lila. But it means the world to me that you offer it.” I say, closing her fingers around the bracelet.
“Mira, my Luna, we’re so happy for you! We’re so excited for the pack,” she says, with Fenex at her side. She pulls me into a hug and holds me tight for a moment.
Everyone who comes to speak to me treats me with kindness and respect. Honestly, I feel like royalty. Kelsey is running back and forth, her usual hyper self as she tells everyone how she’s going to be the best godmother on the planet. Avery had a lot to say about that, claiming that by default she gets to be godmother because she’s Jace’s cousin, and we laughed as they decided to race for the title at dawn.
Obviously, Jace will decide. And in the end, this is all playful back and forth.
Jace has stayed at my side the entire night, and my heart is full and happy.
He leans in close and whispers in my ear. “The Moon goddess knew what she was doing when she made you Luna for this pack, Mira,” he says, making my heart swell with pride. Does he really think that way? That I am the best Luna for his pack.
I grin, my cheeks flushing pink. He makes me want to be the best version of myself. I guess he has that effect on everyone, which is why our Omegas are flourishing. Even now at this party, they aren’t just the servants, carrying food trays around as they would have been in the past. They are part of the celebration. They are here with us, sharing the work and the fun.
“Dance with me,” Jace says, pulling me onto the dance floor.
“Oh, no, I don’t think that’s a good idea…” I stammer, giggling.
But he pulls me close and doesn’t let me escape. Music drifts around us, and I close my eyes as I lean my cheek against his broad, solid chest. He smells like home. He smells like I belong somewhere. Like I have purpose and meaning in my life.
A piercing loud alarm spikes into the celebrations.
Instantly, everyone is alert and panicked.
“The perimeter is breached!” I say in shocked, recognizing my security system warning immediately.
“The rogues,” Jace growls.
Chapter 20 - Jace
I’m breathing heavily when we get back to the pack house after running every inch of the compound and finding nothing.
Half of the security team is with me, and half is guarding the pack.
“What do you mean there was no one there?” Miles snaps in agitation. He was left in charge at the pack house.
“Nothing, man. No damage to the fencing either. I don’t understand.”
We head into the mansion to find Mira.
She’s sitting at the dining room table, wearing that gorgeous lace skirt that makes her look like a goddess.
Her laptop is open in front of her; one of the guys fetched it from her workshop.
“There was no one there,” I tell her, standing behind her to see what she’s doing.
“And there is no one on the security cameras. Nothing. Not even a movement that the system might have mistaken for a barrier breach.” She sounds confused and worried.
“Could a deer have triggered it?” I ask.
“I mean… itcould. But the system is designed to recognize shapes and heat patterns. It technically would know the difference between a human, wolf, and deer.”
I clench my jaw. Adrenaline is coursing through me. “I don’t get it,” I sigh.
“I don’t either, because…” she leans close to her laptop screen, staring at lines of code that mean nothing to me.
