Chapter 14
Felicia’s POV
Three days flew by in a blink.
Samuel was busy arranging the betrothal ceremony–too busy, honestly. Meanwhile, Kevin and I? We were practically on vacation. Just the two of us, plus Queenie who stayed behind to handle the basics like food and laundry.
Other than that? Eat, nap, mess around a little… then repeat. By nightfall, we’d be tangled in bed again, with Kevin determined to make the most of our “honeymoon phase.”
At first, I resisted. I’m the future Luna, for goddess‘ sake. I wasn’t supposed to drown myself in passion like some lovestruck

cub. But Kevin had this devilish talent for convincing me. One kiss, one whispered “come here, mate,” and I’d forget every ounce of willpower I thought I had.
Eventually, I gave up pretending. He’d scoop me up and I wouldn’t even bother resisting. I’d just groan dramatically and let him have his way with me. Again. And again.
By the third day–the day of Samuel’s proposal to Larissa–Kevin was even more relentless than usual. I seriously thought I’d never walk properly again. I was practically melting into the mattress, my eyelids so heavy I couldn’t keep them open.
That’s when I heard it–his voice, low and close to my ear.
“Felicia… are you really going to watch him propose to Larissa?”

So, if you go… does that mean you’ll change your mind?” he murmured. “It’s fine, I suppose. I’ve had my time playing groom. When you’re done, you can just return my position to him.”
His words sobered me up.
My breath caught a little as my mind drifted

back to my past life. Back to after I married Gamma Samuel. Kevin had left for the borders not long after, throwing himself into battle after battle for the pack. He rose to become the most legendary Beta of our generation, eclipsing even his own father… but he never took a mate. Never loved again. He died in an ambush–alone, unclaimed, unmourned by the one who should have known better.
And now, in this moment, I finally understood what I’d missed the first time.
“Kevin,” I whispered, “do you like me?”
He went completely still behind me. I could barely hear his breathing. A long pause, and then…
“If I say yes… will you let go of Samuel?”

I couldn’t help smiling at the answer that wasn’t really an answer. “So, what, your way of liking someone is by bullying them every chance you get?”
He grumbled like a sulky pup, the mask finally cracking.
“From the time we were kids, all you ever saw was Samuel. What else was I supposed to do? I had to get your attention somehow. I warned you already–if you ever try to divorce me, I’m telling Alpha Godfrey.”
I laughed out loud. He was such a brat. But he wasn’t wrong.
For all his teasing and tricks, Kevin had always been there. When I was heartbroken over Gamma Samuel, Kevin was the one dragging me away from my pity parties, distracting me, making me laugh when I

least wanted to. He never let me drown–not completely.
And somehow, I never saw the truth back then. I spent a lifetime mourning a man who faked his death, while the one who truly cared for me slipped through my fingers.
Now that I knew… things felt different.
I turned to face him, smiling softly.
“I’ve already let go of Samuel,” I said. “I’m going to his proposal for the fun of it. I want to see how far this fairytale couple can really go.”
Kevin’s brows lifted, but I wasn’t done.
“And yes, marrying you started out as a fluke. I just didn’t want to pick Samuel… so I picked someone–anyone–without thinking. Turns

out, that someone was you. But now… I’ve had time to think. And Kevin, I think I might actually be falling for you.”
Kevin’s Pov
Her voice wasn’t loud–but it hit me like a damn earthquake. I never thought I’d hear words like that coming from Felicia.
From the moment I first laid eyes on her as a kid, I was done for. The little princess of the Moonfang Pack–Felicia. She had this glow about her, like the moon had chosen her personally. I liked her from the start, more than liked her, really. But to her, I was never more than a background blur. All she ever saw was Samuel.
Back then, I used to pull all sorts of childish

stunts just to catch her attention. Silly little games, anything that might make her glance my way for even a second. That was enough for me.
But as we got older, I started to see the truth. She loved Samuel. Always had. And her mate? It was going to be him, never me.
So I told myself I wouldn’t come. I couldn’t stomach the idea of watching the girl I loved marry someone else.
But fate–fate had other plans. Some wild twist of the universe ended up with me… marrying her. Felicia. Mine.
And then she said it. That she liked me too.
That moment? I’ve never been more grateful for anything in my life than showing up that day.

I said quietly, “I actually had it all planned out before this. Once you got married, I was gonna head straight for the border, take whatever missions they’d throw at me, expanding Territory for the Moonfang Pack, and never set foot in Moonfang Pack again. I figured if I kept myself busy enough, maybe I wouldn’t miss you so much. And if you ever did think of me… maybe you’d remember that I was your best Beta.”
