Monica never imagined herself in such a predicament, for she had assumed that she had already found the perfect man with whom she would spend her remaining days. However, all that she envisioned for her future was mere fantasy, conjured by a mind blinded by a man not worth a single moment's thought. Now, having faced a painful, stark awakening, Monica will learn to appreciate what truly matters and will earn her place in the heart of the Alpha, never to depart from it.
The Alpha and Monica step into the private garden behind the pack house where they discover Matt's parents and the twins, who, as usual, are embroiled in their childish mischief. Alana is seen chasing after Alan, who had played a mischievous prank on his twin just minutes before Monica and the Alpha's arrival. Alana had set out for retribution but her plans went awry, resulting in both of them tumbling into the central fountain and ending up soaked. Upon noticing his sister's ruined glamorous hairdo, Alan bursts into uncontrollable laughter, while Alana, drenched and furious, climbs out to tattle to their parents.
As Alana is about to spill the beans and have her brother punished, the Alpha decides to thwart her scheme. He knows that allowing his sister's chatter to continue would lead to a never-ending day.
"You both should be ashamed of yourselves, for even a seven-year-old behaves better than you do at the age of 121."
The commanding voice of the Alpha defers Alana from her plotting, for she knows her brother's temper when aggravated. Instead, she turns her curiosity towards the young woman her brother is holding so gently by the hand, gazing at her as if she were the most prized and beautiful entity in his world. Alana quickly surmises that her elder brother is introducing his mate, yet what confuses her is the recent change of heart of her sister-in-law, who just days before couldn't stand the sight of him. Therefore, she puts revenge on her twin aside, fixating instead on her sister-in-law's story, determined to uncover the full gossip.
Meanwhile, Alan, emerging from the fountain, is surprised by his sister's silence – no accusing clamor for ruining her hairstyle. Approaching his parents, he deduces the reason for the lack of reprimand is the arrival of his morose elder brother alongside a stunning woman, who he presumes must be his mate, considering the attention she is receiving. Aware that his own reputation as a philanderer precedes him, Alan acknowledges that, beautiful or not, he will regard his brother's mate as a sister – not wishing to provoke animosity for coveting what is not his, especially considering his brother's jealous and possessive nature.
Alan clearly hears his elder brother scolding them for their childish antics once again. Yet, truth be told, he can't resist aggrieving his little sister, and he doesn't mind appearing daft or immature if it incites her fury.
"Brother, it's just that we can't be as boring and dry as you."
In defense against their brother's chastisement, Alan tries to justify their actions, with his sister supporting him, for they both know Matt would not hesitate to punish them despite their 121 years. Meanwhile, Lucia and her husband struggle to suppress their laughter at their children's stark contrasts and never tire of the entertainment they provide. But now, what intrigues them the most is their eldest son's arrival with his mate, clearly indicating an accord has been reached. They silently pray to the Moon Goddess for their son's happiness, as he deserves it. The pack and their lineage have long awaited their new Luna, who will surely bring prosperity and fertility.
"With the two of you, dialogue is futile, but thank the Moon Goddess I'm in a good mood, else I'd have you both cleaning the entire pack house."
The twins wipe their foreheads with relief, narrowly escaping a punishing cleaning duty, all thanks to their sister-in-law. Otherwise, their brother would have gladly made them toil.
"Now that this matter is settled with you two, I'd like to introduce my beautiful Luna, the queen of witches, Monica Baez."
Monica steps forward confidently to meet her in-laws and siblings-in-law. Despite separating slightly from the Alpha, his gaze lingers on her while also keeping a watchful eye on his hormonal brother – he expects no surprises. But Alan remains as stoic as a soldier, much to his relief.
"Pleased to meet you, I'm Monica Baez."
