After the formal rites ended, the group made their way to Silvermoon Estate for a feast.
The dining room glowed with warm lights, and the long table was covered in gorgeous food. Bouquets of lilies of the valley lined the center; their scent danced in the air, twining perfectly with Tessa’s pheromones.
Ysabel rolled in with a five–layer cake, singing as she went.
“Birthday girl coming through!”
Everyone chimed in, gathering around Tessa and singing with loud, off–key joy.
She clapped along, heart full, eyes glowing with happiness.
I’m never going to forget this night.
When the last note faded, Ysabel grinned and slid the cake right in front of her.
“Okay, Tessie–wish time!”
Tessa looked around at all the people she loved–her friends, her family, her mate–and closed her eyes.
Please let the people I care about stay healthy. Let them stay happy. Let life be kind to them.
Then she opened her eyes and blew out every candle in one breath. The room exploded in cheers and laughter.
Walter was already cutting the first slice. He handed it to her with a proud smile.
“Happy birthday, Tessie. You’re officially an adult now… but to me, you’ll always be my little girl.”
“Thanks, Grandpa!” Tessa said with a glowing smile as she took the first bite of cake, all eyes on her.
‘A smudge of cream clung to the corner of her mouth. Landon let out a soft laugh, leaned over, and gently wiped it off with his thumb–then licked it off without a second thought.
Nathaniel’s jaw dropped.
“Mr. Thorne–seriously? That’s how you’re acting in front of everyone?”
Landon raised a brow, cool and unbothered.
“I’m being close with my Destined mate. You got a problem with that?”
“Wait, what did you just say?” someone asked, stunned.
Every head in the room turned toward them.
Walter looked like he might burst with joy. Tessa met their eyes and smiled.
“Actually, that’s what I was just about to announce…”
She reached for Landon’s hand and held it tight.
“Landon and I are Destined mates.”

“Oh my god, Tessie! Your Destined mate is my Uncle Landon? That’s insane–we’re family now!” Ysabel threw her arms around her.
“Finally! Nightshade’s getting its Luna. May the Moon Deity bless you both,” Nathaniel added, grinning.
Hudson and Cameron jumped in with their congratulations too.
No hesitation. No doubt. Everyone welcomed her. They embraced Tessa not just as Landon’s mate–but as their future Luna.
Camille lifted her glass with a smile.
“Congrats, Tessa. Getting to be Destined mates with someone you actually love? That’s a dream.”
Then she turned to Landon, arching a brow.
“Doesn’t matter if you’re Montedra’s all–powerful Alpha King–if you ever hurt her, I will end you.”
