Chapter 100

Silver’s POV

“You shouldn’t be in here,” the mortician said as we walked into the cold room in the basement of the hospital. I had never been in a morgue before and I wasn’t sure what I was expecting. But it was dark and gloomy down here.

“I need to see my husband,” I demanded.

The mortician narrowed his eyes at me, trying to figure out who I was and then it clicked.

“Mrs. Crown? Erm… Luna?”

I nodded.

“Let me see Elliot,” I demanded again.

“When did you wake up?” He asked. “How are you walking around right now?”

“Please,” I said, stepping towards him. “Let me see my husband.”

He looked at Charlotte who gave him a curt nod and he sighed.

He opened the door where they were keeping Elliot’s body and he slid him out, putting him on the metal table. He was in a body bag, and I sucked in a sharp breath when he unzipped the bag, revealing for still, pale, and cold husband.

I had to stifle a sob upon seeing him. I couldn’t believe that he was there… dead. He actually died.

I bit my lip… I had to believe in the Moon Goddess. She told me I could save him… I had to trust her.

I walked over to him and put my hand on his face; he was so cold. I hated seeing him like this. Everyone in the room was silent as I unzipped the bag further, revealing his chest. The wound was still on his chest along with the black veins from the magic of the dagger.

She told me that my blood could heal him.

“I need a knife or something sharp,” I demanded.

“Mrs. Crown, I—”

“Please,” I demanded firmly.

He looked at me for a moment before relenting. He grabbed a small knife and handed it to me. To everyone’s horror, I ran the knife across the palm of my hand.

“Silver!” Rebecca gasped.

“What are you doing?!” Charlotte cried.

I ignored them as I watched blood pool in the palm of my hand. I held my breath and then I placed my hand over his chest, on his wound, smearing the blood across the black veins.

My palm felt warm, and I could feel his body growing warm from my touch.

I closed my eyes and imagined him healing and the veins disappearing. I could feel my blood seeping into his body, and I could feel my energy spiking. My wolf was howling in my mind, calling out to our mate, desperately wanting to connect with him.

The room was completely silent.

“Holy hell…” Charlotte whispered. “Are the black veins disappearing?”

“How is that possible?” The mortician asked.

Rebecca was the one who answered, “Because she’s magical and she has the Goddess on her side.”

Elliot’s POV

6 months later

“Ladies and gentlemen of the Crown pack, I’d like to formally introduce my wife, and your Luna, Silver Crown,” I announced to the pack of cheering packmates.

Silver stepped beside me wearing the most elegant white dress I had ever seen. Her dark hair was curled and hanging loosely around her shoulders, beautiful flowers tucked beneath her curls, highlighting her bright features. A smile on her face as she looked out into the crowd.

She reached over and held my hand, love and hope clear in her eyes.

It had been 6 long months since I died; 6 months of recovery from the Moon Dagger wound. 6 months since my wife brought me back to the land of the living. I still remember the moment I drew in my first breath and my eyes opened; I heard the screams of my sister and then she sobbed as she wrapped her arms around me. Silver had passed out and when I woke up to look for her, I saw her on the ground. everybody was so preoccupied with the fact that I was alive, that they didn’t even notice her.

I barely even noticed the fact that I was sitting in a morgue, half in a body bag. It would have been unsettling if I wasn’t so worried about Silver. We brought her to a hospital room, my sister clung to my side the entire time. Word got out quickly that I was alive, and Leo and Luca came to see me for themselves. Everybody was shocked that Silver managed to bring me back to life.

But at what cost?

She looked so frail as she lay asleep in the hospital room. Apparently, we had both been out of it for 2 months at that time and she was still gaining her strength back. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for her to wake up. She only needed some rest, and her wolf was able to give her more strength. When she woke and she saw me, at first, she thought we were both dead. But when she saw Char and Rebecca standing by my side, she knew her plan had worked, and she broke out into tears.

To this day, Charlotte is still trying to make it up to her for not believing her at first and for being mean to her when they first met. Silver is so kindhearted, she forgave Char long ago, but Char still feels guilty.

6 months later, we were finally able to have a Luna ceremony for my wife and renew our wedding vows. I gave her the wedding she always wanted and everybody she loved was there.

Every packmate chanted her name, excited to have a strong and capable Luna to protect them. Silver looked so in her element and so happy that my heart swelled at the sight of her smiling face. When she looked back at me, I could see the love and admiration in her eyes.

“I love you, Mrs. Crown,” I said to her.

“I love you, Alpha,” she said, with a wink.

“Congratulations!” A voice said from nearby. I turned to see Silver’s friends coming to hug her. Cara, Alison, Emma, and Rebecca. Rebecca switched her allegiance to the Crown pack and now she works in my packhouse as a financial advisor and the Beta’s personal assistant.

They don’t get along all that well, but even Leo can’t deny that Rebecca makes his life way easier. She’s good at what she does and she’s very professional.

“Thanks, girls,” Silver said, hugging each of them.

“We should celebrate,” Alison suggested.

Silver looked at me and gave me a small smile.

“I kind of just want to go home with my husband,” she said softly. “But maybe tomorrow?”

“Sure thing,” Alison replied. “You are the Luna after all. You can do whatever you want.”

“I need to go anyway. Leo gave me a last-minute assignment that he wants on his desk before midnight,” Rebecca said, rolling her eyes. “He’s ridiculous.”

“He has a thing for you,” Silver chuckled; this wasn’t the first time Silver had said this to me. She can read people very well and now that she can control her powers and see scents, she notices that Leo’s changes based on his emotions when Rebecca is around.

She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

“As if…” she murmured. “He’s an asshole. But he’s my boss and I need to keep him happy.”

We waved goodbye as she left.

I wrapped my arms around my wife and pulled her close to me.

“Let’s go home,” I murmured against her ear.

She nodded.

I took her hand, and we went back to the palace. When we reached the bedroom, I couldn’t keep my hands off her. I wrapped her in my arms and lifted her up off the ground; she wrapped her legs around my waist and kissed me with a hungry passion. We both kissed one another with equal desires. I nibbled her bottom lip, making her chuckle as I threw her onto the bed. I quickly undid my tie and shirt, throwing it to the ground. I watched as her eyes darkened, and I knew her wolf was at the surface, wanting to come out and play. I ran with her wolf in the forest a few times during the last 6 months and she was a glorious beast. Now that she had her full powers and inherited her brother’s powers, she no longer suffers from that pain on the full moon. She’s able to shift at will and she’s a fantastic wolf.

I kissed her deeply as I climbed on top of her. She shimmied out of her dress, leaving her in only her bra and undies. She moaned as my tongue slid between her lips, tasting everything she had to offer.

“Elliot…” she whispered between kisses; I answered her with a hum. “I want you to mark me…”

Since I died, her mark had faded. I hadn’t marked her back because I wanted to wait for the perfect moment. So, as of now, she wasn’t wearing my mark. I smiled against her skin before looking into her eyes.

“Are you sure?” I asked her, my tone breathy.

She nodded and reached up to touch my face.

“I have never been surer about anything in my life,” she told me.

I smiled at her and kissed her passionately. Then, I let my lips trail down the nape of her neck. As I sucked on her sweet spot before I called my wolf forward and plunged my canines into her. She gasped at first but then let out a content sigh as our bond sealed.

Then I heard her soft voice.

“Mine…” she whispered and then I felt her canines plunge into my neck as well.

We stayed like that for a long moment before our canines retracted. We licked each other’s wounds until they sealed and then we smiled at one another. Our bond was sealed; we were connected in more ways than we could count.

“I want you to make love to me now,” she whispered, touching my cheek with her warm and soft fingertips. “But first, I have to tell you something.”

I furrowed my brows.

“Are you okay?”

She nodded, tears filling her eyes and a smile forming on her lips.

“More than okay…” she whispered. “I’m pregnant.”

My heart skipped a beat.

“You’re what?” I asked, not sure I heard her correctly.

She touched my face again and looked me deep in the eyes.

“We are having a baby, Elliot. I found out this morning,” she told me. “I hadn’t been feeling well so I went to the doctor and—”

Before she could finish her sentence, I pressed my lips against hers and kissed her deeply.

“We are having a baby,” I repeated.

She nodded. I let out a howl of delight! I was having a baby with the woman I loved, with my mate. My life couldn’t get any better than this.

“Are you happy?” She asked, laughing.

“Happy? I’m over the moon!” I cheered, wrapping her in my arms. “Now make love to me, my mate.”

She smiled and she did just that. I made love to the woman of my dreams and now we were able to finally begin our lives.
