Hannah saved my life, she sacrificed herself and her pup to save me and mine, and I killed David. I
don’t know how I feel about that. For most of my life, David was one of my best friends. One of the only
people I would feel the safest with. The man I dreamed would be my mate. Until he was and he
rejected me broke my heart. Only to want me back when I finally moved on and kidnapped and tortured
me, to make me crawl back to him in such a vile sick way that I will never stop hating him. Still
shouldn’t I be a little more upset that I just killed the man in cold blood?
It was just when he was threatening everything good I had going on, when he was threatening the
people I loved, including my little pups. was so sick and tired of being scared of this man. Of needing to
be careful, of needing to be scared for when he woulde back again. The silver hairpin Hannah told
me to get out of her hair to defend myself had be heavy in my hands. It made me realize that the
only way we would ever be free of this man was to kill him and so I did. Still, I don’t feel any remorse for
doing so. My only fear is that not being mad or sad about killing him means that I am a bad person.
Because I don’t want my pups to be raised by a bad person.
“Are you okay, Darling, tell me what I can do for you?” I forgot where I was until Griffin stepped in the
shower with me.
“I am a bad person, Griff, I am not even upset about killing David, Hannah died to protect me, to protect
us. She asked me to forgive her for all she had done to me. And I said yes, and I want to but I don’t
think I can. There is still so much resentment.” I couldn’t stop crying, I couldn’t

find the strength to wash myself. And I don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t for Griffin. He
comforted me, washed me, and helped me get intofortable clothes. He knew all the right words.
Telling me that I did not have to process all the emotions today. Suddenly the realization that this meant
we needed to postpone our wedding hit me like another tidal wave.
All I ever wanted was to be happy, and I did not understand why the whole world seemed dead set on
stopping me from finding my happiness. But now I had to go talk to Rodrick and Isabe to tell them
that Hannah had sacrificed her life to save me. Because living as a rogue amongst humans reminded
her how she let one man who did not love her back control her life. That she would never be a good
mother when she still found it hard to not get caught up in his crazy ideas. His n was just to take
over the title from Griffin. Then still using me as a hostage he would force Isabe and Rodrick to
abdicate giving the rule of the Silver Moon Pack and the country to him. He had nned to wait. until
after we were crowned King and Queen but for some unknown reason the newws almost getting
implemented made him rush hist

“Thank
you for being open with us and so quickly too Princess A” One of the Elders from the Council spoke
to me. When shit went down they just arrived at the Silver Moon pack in time for our wedding
celebrations tomorrow. Due to the circumstances, their verdict was quick, what I did was self–defence,
and defend the pack. They agreed that this is what being a ruler means, to make the hard decisions to
be sure the pack is safe. Mike was immediately approved as a human mate. The council praised his
bravery and loyalty to the pack he wanted to be a part of. Cynthia was badly injured, Sam begged the

execute her, so they sentenced her to bemitted to a mental health facility for werewolves. Where
she would have to live out the rest of her life. A ce she would never be able to escape from and that
was it. The hardest period of my life. All wrapped up in a need little package of sentences and praises.
A half page full of scribbles, and signatures that dered it over and dealt with. But it would be my and
my pack that would have to start facing the consequences and rebuilding what we
lost.

And rebuilding we did, but I could honestly say that as a couple, a family and as a pack we grew
stronger from this experience. It had only been a month and one day. We were not done yet, every day
we needed to heal. Not just me and Griffin, but everyone around us. What happened had hit the pack
and the country at its core. It was part of why we only postponed our wedding by a month. People
needed something to look forward to. People needed something to celebrate, something that would
close the chapter on thest few months. A new beginning of
sorts.
Of course, I could not wait to be Misses Taylor either. Last week I had taken the dress back to the bridal
store. Where I readjusted it so it fit my even bigger frame. This time I walked into the coffee shop,
finding out Griffin had them make a surprise for me. When I got home I walked straight to our bedroom
putting the dress away. Griffin and I had promised each other to never leave each other a letter we did
not sign. Other than that life went back to normal. I would even dare to say that we grew even stronger
as a couple now that we didn’t constantly have to worry about what was threatening us.

me to take a nap with you?” Mike joked. Before he moved in with Dean he had been a sessful
make–up artist. Not one of those famous one who works with celebrities. He mostly did bridal make–up
as he was romantic at heart. Now he works as a make–up artist here. He would always give a huge
discount to pack members and prioritize our make–up appointments over those of humans. But there
are only so many times in a year when the pack needs a MUA so he had a little studio in the city where
he worked with human clients. Dean and him were happy, marked and mated and I knew for a fact
Dean was about to propose
soon.
Today was my day though and when I walked down the aisle watching. tears form in Griffin’s eyes as
he was waiting for me. I felt that life finally was good, it was safe, we were happy and loved, and the
future was full of exciting ns.
It wasn’t the foolish notion that we were perfectly safe and life would be smooth sailing from here on
out. As I would so often think, or make myself believe just after being kidnapped. No, I felt certain now
that we would never know what was going to happen. All we knew was that as we were together, in the
end, we always would be safe and happy. And that it was all we could ask for.
