"It was well worth it," he said softly, spinning her in a slow circle before drawing her even closer, his lips brushing her temple. "Every moment with you is worth centuries of being alone."

As they turned, Seraphina caught glimpses of her friends with their mates—Draken whispering something that made Lorelei actually blush, Sol's hand resting possessively on Helena's hip, and Nereus looking at Isolde with undisguised hunger. All of them had found their other halves, all of them transformed by love and magic.

"What are you thinking?" Orion asked, his thumb caressing the sensitive skin of her wrist.

"That I'm the luckiest woman alive," Seraphina replied honestly. "I have powers I'm learning to control, friends who understand what I'm going through, and you." She rose onto her tiptoes, pressing a soft kiss to his lips. "My alpha."

Orion's eyes flashed with heat, his grip on her tightening. "Say that again," he demanded in a low growl that vibrated through her.

"My alpha," she whispered, feeling the wolf inside her rise to the surface, responding to his dominance with a willing submission that still pleasantly surprised her.

"My Luna," he replied, his voice low and possessive.

He pulled her flush against his body and captured her mouth in a kiss that began gentle but quickly deepened into something that had the Starlight pack hooting and whistling around them. In that perfect moment, under the decorative twinkling stars, Seraphina truly knew she was home.
