My Guardian Married My Sister But I’m His Alpha Chapter 10
She stared at it for a long time but didn’t reply.
Outside her window, the New York skyline glittered.
When she left three years ago, every light in the city had felt cold and indifferent.
Three years later, the lights were the same.
Only now, she no longer had the strength to care.
She slept fitfully.
Her dreams were a chaotic mess of fragmented images.
Her father’s smile. Griffin’s hand offering her a candy. The soft clink of two rings as Francesca looped her arm through his.
Chiara was up at dawn. She showered, dressed in a black suit, and pinned her father’s black wolf insignia to her lapel.
A strong wind whipped around St. Michael’s Chapel.
Chiara arrived early. The choir was doing a sound check, candles and flowers were already in place, and the Council’s witness stand had been set up in the side hall.
Griffin had organized everything.
Meticulous. Thorough. It was his way.
The Moretti family and the Nightfall Pack members began to arrive.
First came her grandfather’s car, carrying the other elders.
Then her mother and Francesca.
Francesca also wore black, with her Luna candidate insignia pinned at her collar, making her look even more fragile and delicate.
Their mother supported her the entire way, murmuring reminders to watch the steps and keep her wolf-scent as steady as possible.
When Francesca saw Chiara, she let go of their mother and walked over.
“Chiara.”
