Chapter 110
Katy POV
Ace’s room was locked from the inside. I wanted to knock, but Kylie stopped me. She placed a finger on her lips and whispered, “Corella is chanting the spell to reverse the effect of her previous spell. If we go in, she will get disturbed.”
I darted a nervous look. “But I want to be with him.”
She held my forearm gently. “I understand, but let’s be patient.”
Patience was the only thing that I was lacking because I really wanted to be with Ace. Reversing the effect of a spell could have repercussions.
As if understanding what I was thinking, Kylie said, “Whatever the outcome is, Katy, you know in your heart that you won’t leave him.”
Swallowing the lump of emotions down my throat, I nodded. “I’ll never leave him, come what may. Even if that means that he has to start anew.”
“Great!” Kylie beamed. “So, would you like to wait here or go to your room?”
“Let’s go to my room.” I knew Logan would take care of Ace.
As we walked back to my room, I noticed how everyone in the castle bowed to me. It was odd. There was a time when they didn’t even acknowledge my presence. In fact, I barely ever went beyond the main hall of the castle.
It was the first time I was seeing it from inside and I couldn’t help but say that it was a breathtaking structure. The ancient walls were adorned with beautiful portraits of the ancestors and expensive fabric depicting the history of the pack. Tall chandeliers hung from the ceilings. Ceramic vases ran across the corridors with climber roses and magnolia, emitting an intoxicating
scent.
Suddenly, a group of pups bumped into us. Their eyes went wide with wonder and they all bowed to me. I smiled as they hurried away, giggling.
“I can’t believe you’re getting married tomorrow!” Kylie squealed. “And boy, isn’t this a beautiful castle? Logan and I can spend every summer here!”
I bit my bottom lip as I beamed with happiness. Marriage with Ace seemed like a dream come true. I couldn’t hold my excitement.
Upon reaching my room, I went to take a shower. My mind went back to how the competition started. I was a wild entry and came out victorious. Instead of recalling what all I went through, I picked up my shampoo and cleaned my hair. F*ck it all. I was going to get married to Ace tomorrow, and that was all I ever wanted.
Logan called us two hours later. When I reached Ace’s room, I saw he was sleeping. Logan hugged me and warned me not to talk about our past. “Though Corella has reversed the spell, she says that he will suffer from temporary memory loss.”
I clenched my teeth as I stopped myself from crying. Did Cassie and Luce know what they were doing to the heir of the Viking pack? How could they do this to him? How could anyone do this to anyone? What kind of mentality did they have?
Logan cupped my ch*eks and ki*sed my forehead. “You’ve gone through a lot, Katy. This is your final test. Stay by his side, and I’m sure that you will pull him out of it.” He shook his head. “I’ve been so blind all my life to not notice this. If I’d known before, I would have got you married to him already. Honestly, I just-” he couldn’t finish his words.
“Logan, please don’t beat yourself. All’s well that ends well.”
He chuckled and nodded lightly. “You’ve grown up, baby sis. Honestly, I am not liking it, but I guess it’s for good.”
I grinned and hugged him. Logan had always been like a father figure to me, protecting me from every calamity. And then there was Ace – fiercely guarding me. The process of Selection pushed me to struggle and forced me to mature.
I promised myself that instead of spoiling my children, I would empower them with responsibilities, fostering their independence and self–assurance, so they don’t have to wait for a rude awakening to learn life’s lessons.

Logan left with Kylie, who was of the opinion that she wanted to shop for herself and for me. After all, they needed to buy a wedding dress for me. I loved her enthusiasm. And thank the goddess, she was my best friend. It’s all thanks to her small maneuver in the invitation to Selection that I am here today.
This was my first time in Ace’s room. Not exactly how I thought it would be, but I was happy that I was with him finally. I slid next to him and, as if on instinct, he turned to me and pulled me to his chest. He buried his face in the crook of my neck and murmured, “Katy…“..
Goddess. I couldn’t help a teardrop that slipped out of the corner of my eye. My Ace was back. I closed my eyes and snuggled in his chest. It was amazing how I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
I woke and stretched myself with a yawn. My entire body was so relaxed that I felt like I was on cloud nine. I turned to look and found myself staring right into the most beautiful hazel eyes of Alpha Ace. He was watching me intently with his head propped up on his hand.
“Hey,” he murmured softly as he entwined his finger in a strand of my hair.

I lowered my head and pressed a ki*s on his lips. He deepened the ki*s, and I let him devour me because I knew he needed to feel me all over again.
Though I wanted to stay with him the whole day, the king ordered that the bride couldn’t see the groom until the marriage. He also ordered that I wear a wedding gown with a long veil and a long train.
Ace hated the order of not being able to see me. He attempted multiple times to come to my room, but Logan always stopped him. Kylie and I would burst out laughing, listening to their scuffle.
Next day, when I took a quick stroll through the castle, I saw how the place was buzzing with activity. Ivy and blooming flowers decorated the walls and expansive courtyards. The castle’s great hall was the centerpiece of all the preparations. The space was adorned with shimmering tapestries, garlands of wildflowers, the chandeliers were draped with floral vines and by the time it was night, candles were placed in every nook and cranny, casting a warm glow around.
Kylie helped me dress in my wedding gown. She did minimal makeup on me, saying that I looked better without it. As the time for the marriage drew near, Logan and Kylie took me with them in the car to the Moon Temple, that was on the premises of the castle.
I saw that a huge crowd of the pack members had gathered around it. As soon as I got out of the car, the place was filled with a hushed anticipation and the sounds of clothes rustling and soft murmurs.
Through the veil, I saw Alpha Ace standing at the end of the long aisle, flanked by the council members and King Soren.
Kylie stopped at the entrance of the temple while Logan took me all the way inside to the main sanctum. I couldn’t help but bask in my Alpha’s commanding and regal presence. When I reached him, Logan left me, and Ace took my hand to help me stand in front of him. “You look mesmerizing,” he said in a low voice, making me blush.
The Shaman started with the ceremony. After we exchanged rings, he asked for us to give our hands to him. Using the scared
