Chapter 0045 +25 BONUS Its stunning , I said as 1 looked at the image of a large wolf standing silhouetted against a full moon .
Yes , its nice , David agreed , trying to hide lais disappointment .
Is this hand carved ? I asked , reaching my fingers out and delicately running thern over the lines of the image .
It must have taken hours , and the wood is such a beautiful color .
Is it stained , or is it naturally like that ? Its natural red oak , the Alpha King responded , and Im pleased that you like it .
I made it myself .
I looked at him in shock .
I had no idea you had such artistic talent .
I dont often get a chance to show it off , he said dismissively .
Its a She Wolf , he explained .
I hope that the image might be some inspiration to help your own wolf reawaken .
I was touched by the thoughtfulness of his gift .
Thank you so much , 1 said .
Well find a place of honor to display it .
The King seemed pleased with this response .
David was silent .
I wasnt sure if he was embarrassed by how underwhelmed he seemed by such a thoughtful gift or if he was just afraid of saying something else to offend the King .
I took the plaque from David and carefully handed it to my father , who placed it gently on the table .
When I turned back to the guests in front of us , I saw Alexander making his way forward , a small box in his hands .
Oh , great , David grumbled under his breath .
Him again .
Who invited him ? I did , I replied .
I thought we agreed to invite all of the Alphas and Lunas .
I didnt think that would include him , David said , looking at me with irritation .
I thought I made it clear how I feel about him .
You should have been more specific , I replied dismissively .
I turned my attention back to Alexander and smiled brightly at him .
Congratulations on your wedding , he said , stepping towards me and placing the small , turquoise colored box gently into my hands .
Youve already given us many gifts , I pointed out .
And yet I found one more , he replied coolly .
And since it seems youve gotten so many extravagant gifts for yourself already , David , Im sure you wont mind that this one is specifically for Ella .
Why should I mind that ? David replied snappily .
I ignored him and opened the box .
I couldnt contain a gaspas I looked at the contents .
This is too much , I said softly .
Inside the box was a beautiful white gold diamond studded necklace , bracelet , earrings , and a ring , That cant be real , David said .

Its very real , Alexander replied .
Davids mother gasped in shock as she looked at the gift .
t cant be , she said softly .
Did you purchase those from the estate auction of the luna of Silver Lake ? she asked .
+25 BONUS Chapter 0045 I did , Alexander confirmed .
But those cost a small fortune ! Davids father declared .
Alexander waved his hand dismissively .
They werent cheap , but it was hardly what I would consider a fortune .
I could hear the people around us whispering as they tried to get a look at the contents of the gift box .
I had heard of the Silver Lake pack .
They were once the most wealthy pack in the kingdom , but they had fallen on hard times and were forced to sell of some of their most prized posessions Alexander made a point of looking at my left hand , where the small diamond that David had put on my finger during the ceremony sat .
He made a slight face , then looked at the box .
Perhaps your style is more simple , he said , but I hope that youll enjoy the jewels I chose for you anyway .
Im sure Ill find the perfect occasion to wear them , I responded .
Thank you so much for your thoughtful gift.
Youre very welcome , Alexander said , smirking slightly a David before he turned to walk away .
Arrogant , David muttered under his breath .
But I ignored him .
My eyes were fixed on Alexander as he disappeared into the crowd .
