Married My Ex's Alpha Uncle

Midnight was only a couple of hours away; I didn't have long before I needed to make my escape.

"Champagne, Luna?" The server broke through my thoughts.

I smiled and took a glass off the tray.

"Thank you," I said in response.

He nodded and turned away.

Just as I took my first sip, I felt a strange disturbance; like someone was watching me. Feeling a slight chill run up my spine, I turned, and I froze when I saw Gavin on the other side of the gathering, staring at
