Greyson - Part 2: An Alpha Billionaire Shifter Romance (The Silver Moon Pack) Read Online Free Page B

you still want to marry me after what I did? I’ve killed three men, Greyson. And you know your pack will be furious with you for marrying me if they find out what I am or what I did.” She shook her head no. “You can’t do this—especially not when you should be alpha of your pack.”
    “Fucking hell, Juno—you’d drive a man to drink. Do you know that?” He slammed his fist on the nearby coffee table with a growl. “I have no intention of being alpha, and even if I did, there’s no fucking way I’m letting someone else dictate who I’ll be getting married to. We are getting married, and don’t go thinking you have a choice in the matter.”
    “Well, I’m glad I get a say in all this—especially since you don’t like someone else dictating who you’ll marry.” She threw her hands up in frustration and got up to pace, her stubborn streak clearly setting in, as he ignored the irony of it all.
    “You don’t.” He got to his feet and stepped in her path, far too annoyed and pissed off to sit still. “This isn’t some fucking church wedding where they’ll ask you if you want to get married or if anyone objects. You’re in pack territory, with pack rules and pack traditions. You don’t get a say in any of this if I say we’re getting married. So wrap your head around it, sweetheart, because it’s happening. Tonight .”
    “How is any of that sane in this day and age?” With her hands on her hips, she glared at him. “You can’t just force me to marry you. And don’t you get it? I’m refusing to marry you for your own good. It’d be one thing if I was simply trying to save my ass—which is exactly what I was doing when I agreed to marrying you before. But now…I care about you, Greyson…and the last thing I want is to ruin your life.”
    He swore, she was making him crazy—though at least she’d said she cared about him. Cupping the back of her neck, he pulled her close, and lowered his head to hers. “The only thing that could ruin my life is losing you. So if you think I’m going to let you walk away from what’s between us so you can get yourself mauled, you can fucking guess again. I’d prefer you marry me of your own free will—but I don’t have much of a problem with the alternative.”
    ***
    Just as he’d promised, Greyson got the pack assembled for their wedding, even if Juno looked ready to curse him to a thousand hells for all of eternity. He wasn’t trying to be an asshole, but he’d fucking had it with her flip-flopping, and it was the only way to keep her safe. So she could be pissed off at him all she wanted. It didn’t matter, as long as their wedding kept her from harm and put her in his bed.
    With everyone assembling for the ceremony at the pack lodge, Greyson could sense her growing nerves as the room filled with shifters. And though she was still clearly angry with him, she didn’t shrug away from him when he pulled her close, wrapping an arm around her shoulder.
    There was a decent turnout, given the short notice. People tilted their heads and smiled in acknowledgment of his return to the area and his upcoming marriage, although they kept a respectful distance, given how nervous Juno was.
    Yet this was a wedding, so some of the women of the pack finally approached, with his childhood friend, Charlotte, taking the lead. “How about we get you prettied up for the event? You probably weren’t expecting to get married, but Greyson found his mother’s wedding dress, and we also dug through our closets for a few things that might be suitable for you to wear for the occasion. I’m sure we can find something that will work, if you’d like us to help you get ready.”
    “I’d appreciate that.” Juno managed a smile at the girls and then started to go with a glare in Greyson’s direction.
    But before she got too far, Greyson grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him for a kiss, her lips warm and soft against his, even if there was fire in her eyes. “I
