Chapter 99 Ninety Nine

• RYAN’S POV
• I was humming to myself, tapping on the table.
• My mood was good. Actually, no—better than good. For once in a long time, I felt light. Free. The entire pack knew she was mine now. Ariel wasn’t hiding anymore. She wasn’t pretending. She stood beside me, touched my hand in front of everyone, kissed me in front of cameras, pack leaders, nobles, Alphas. There was no taking it back. No running anymore. No room for second guesses. She was tied to me in every way that counted, and damn, that felt good.
