"I think it''s more than that. I think they are mainly here for you," she told me, making me raise my brows. "We set up an entire stage in the back. We are preparing for a speech. We were hoping that Alpha Landry would say a few words..."


    She looked up at Gavin with a hopeful expression, and he nodded.


    "Yes," he answered. "I did have an announcement I wanted to make anyway, so this works out well."


    He wraps his arm around me again, pulling me close.


    Lucy beamed. She already knew that I was pregnant and back with Gavin, but she didn''t know I was mated to him. I had my hair down, covering my mark, and Gavin''s shirt cor covered his mark.


    We spent some time going around and speaking to some of the packmates. I received quite a few hugs, mostly from family and friends. I ate some food, and Gavin made sure that I drank plenty of water, knowing that I needed to take care of my body for the sake of our baby.


    "We should get ready for the announcement," Gavin said into my ear, making my cheeks heat.


    I nodded as I peeked up at him.


    "Okay," I say.


    He ced his hand on the small of my back and guided me out the back door. We were greeted by some others as we stepped onto the back patio. Gavin nodded at them but otherwise said nothing as we walked down the steps and towards the stage.


    Some workers were still setting things up, but for the most part, there was enough space for everybody in the space, and I grew nervous knowing they were all going to be looking at me and Gavin.


    "Hey," Gavin said, his handing up to cup my cheek. "Breathe. It''s going to be okay. What do you think is going to happen?"


    "An uproar," I told him, nibbling on my lower lip. "What if they aren''t happy with me being their future Luna?"


    "Are you kidding me?" He asked. "They are going to be thrilled. They already know you''re a badass and you''re mine... that''s all that matters."


    I felt myself rxing, and I nodded slowly.


    Not long before, the entire outside was filled with everybody. They were all eagerly waiting to get a glimpse of their new Alpha.


    Sampson stood on the stage with Lucy by his side; both looked like a dream couple, and I was envious of the connection that they shared. I wondered if Gavin and I would share the same connection, or if we already do.


    "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to celebrate with us today. My mate, Lucy, is very happy to be here despite the horrific circumstances that led us here I speak for the remaining Redcliff pack when I say that adjustments are tough, and the loss we faced is something we wish on no one. I know with certainty that my mate is here with a heavy heart, but we are grateful for the chance to start fresh and put the past behind us. Until we arrived, we didn''t know what it was like to have a Lycan who was a constant source, and I must say, it''s nice to have that kind of assistance. This territory is lucky to have Alpha Landry as their Lycan, and I''m honored to be personally chosen by him to be the Alpha of the Redmoon pack. I''ve only been here for a couple of days, and the first day was spent in solitude, mourning the pack and thend we had lost. The second day, we spent settling in and exploring thend. Now, today, we introduce ourselves as your new Alpha and Luna. There are some changes that will take ce starting today that I will go over with you, but let me introduce myself. I am Sampson Olivier, and this beautiful


    woman beside me is my mate, Lucy Oliver."


    There was an eruption of apuse, making Lucy blush as she clung to Sampson''s side. I pped as well, proud to see my friend the center of attention.


    "Though this party is to wee us as your Alpha and Luna, it''s also so the Redcliff pack can officially meet the Redmoon pack, and the true mergen can begin," Sampson continued. "It''s also to wee home a beloved member of the Rédmoon pack and a recent asset to the Redcliff pack, Judy Montague."


    He paused when the apuse erupted even louder, making me blush.


    "Before we get into anything else, Alpha Landry would like to say a few words," Sampson announced, stepping aside and joining in on the pping and cheers.


    Lucy grinned at me and gave me a bright smile.


    Gavin squeezed my and reassuringly


    and was about to step forward, towards the stage, but halted when the sounds of gunfire were heard in the distance. Everybody grew ghostly quiet, and my stomach turned when I heard screaming.
