Chapter 76

Grace’s POV The sound of laughter and clinking glasses filled the air. To say the party was a success was an understatement because it was not only a success but carried a tremendous blast with it. I always had my doubts regarding Daniel’s position, not in the pack, as he ruled the pack with an iron fist but his relationship with the adjoining packs strained after the death of my mother mostly because he was under the influence of Lizzie’s dark magic and also because the other pack Alphas didn’t consider him as trustworthy as he should have been. A wolf who could cheat on his mate was not reliable. But the warm reception I received was another indication of how strained Daniel’s relationship was with the council as well as the neighboring packs. I could feel the gazes on me, not everyone was delighted, they were sizing me up, because I was just another competition for them. Xander stood beside me, like a pillar of support, his subtle touches grounding me in this overwhelming situation.
