Two days had passed, and Elliot had gotten used to the mansion. He was already walking alone in the corridors, and he already knew every corner of it, something that I had a hard time achieving.

"Are you ready?" Eric asked, coming out and finishing putting on his black tux.

"Yes, I was waiting for you," I replied.

Lydia kept to herself the details of the wedding until everything was settled, and finally would be telling us what she had planned.

To be honest, I was very excited because Eric spoke so highly of the parties his mom was throwing, but what I was most excited about was the full moon ritual.

"Good morning," I greeted Lydia, who had Elliot sitting on her legs eating some marshmallows. "Hello, son. I see you're having fun."

"Hi dear, have a seat," she made a space for me next to her on the couch.

Elliot smiled, and his mouth was so full of marshmallows it would be impossible to talk.

Eric then sat down next to me, and I leaned back against him.

In front of us and separated by an ornament table, Patric was sitting on a small couch with his hands on his chin. The Alpha of the Night Pack was wearing a serene expression, but I could see in his eyes pride at the sight of his son and grandson.

"Well, in a month and two days, there will be a blue moon," Lydia said with a smile etched on her cheekbones. "It's a blessing from the Goddess that it happens so soon, and I decided that day would be ideal for the wedding."

The shapeshifters married under the moonlight to unite their souls with the blessing of the Moon Goddess which was a ritual to be performed by an Alpha and his Luna.

"A month?" Eric said, raising an eyebrow. "I wish it had been sooner."

Patric rested his hands on his knees and cleared his throat. "Son, being patient is a virtue of a leader. Sometimes waiting brings better results. Listen to your mother," he said in his deep voice.

"Your father is right. Besides, not everyone is lucky enough to get married under a blue moon," she said.

I wasn't nervous, but since I was still taking the medication, I didn't want to spend my wedding day feeling dizzy and nauseous, so a month would be enough time to recover after I finished my treatment.

"It's okay," Eric said, lifting the corner of his lip. "Sorry, it's just that I'm so excited and don't want to wait so long."

"I know," Lydia said. "I am, too, and I want everything to be perfect."

As Lydia continued to give us details of the type of food that would be served and the venue she had chosen. I felt a familiar scent.

"Elliot, go find Andrew to play," I told my son because I didn't want anyone from the Sith pack to notice him.

Eric sensed my tension and looked me square in the eyes.

"Excuse me, Alpha, but a member of the Sith pack came to see you. He says he brings a message from his Alpha," Lucas said, entering the lounge.

"Send him in," Patric said, settling himself on the couch.

I felt dizzy, and my blood pressure rose. After so many years, I hadn't gotten over the fear of my father, and having someone from his pack here brought back all those memories.

Into the room came Lucas escorting Taylor, my former driver in the pack. He had his eyes on me, "Greetings, Cathy and the Night family," he said. "My Alpha sent me personally to discuss the terms of the union between Eric and Cathy Sith."

I looked at Eric, puzzled, and he looked back at me with the same expression.

"How did you find out about the wedding?" Eric asked, rising from the couch with his arm muscles tense.

Patric stood up from the chair and motioned for Lucas to step back. " From me," he said. "Cathy is Nicholas's daughter and was once part of his pack, and by tradition, the bride's parents must be invited."

Patric was an Alpha attached to tradition, and neither he nor Lydia knew anything about the poisoning or the mistreatment I lived through in the pack. They still believed I had gone off to chase my dreams only.

"What are your Alpha's terms?" Lydia said, smiling.
