The evening breeze drifted through the garden, carrying the cool scent of damp earth and the faint rustle of leaves. Lanterns glowed along the veranda, their warm light soft against the gathering dusk. From inside the house came the low murmur of voices and the occasional burst of laughter, but out here it was calm, almost solemn.

Arda and Adeline strolled side by side along the gravel path, keeping a small distance between them as if still adjusting to the newness of being sisters. The crunch of their steps mingled with the faint song of crickets.

“Tracy is my classmate,” Arda said after a pause, glancing sideways at Adeline. “I never knew she knew you.”

Adeline’s lips curved into a faint smile. “She’s my friend. We were neighbors back when I was with… George.”

The name still carried weight, a shadow between past and present.

“Oh.” Arda hesitated, her brows drawing together. “I saw her mark. She tried to hide it, but it looked real.”

Adeline gave a quiet chuckle. The tension in her f

    Gillow was about to say something reassuring to Arda when his expression sharpened. The lazy calm in his eyes vanished. He sat up, head turning slightly, nostrils flaring.Arda straightened. “What is it?”He didn’t answer at first. He tilted his head, listening to the silence, then lifted his face toward the paling sky.“Do you hear it?” he asked finally, voice low and edged.Arda held her breath, focusing. At first she heard nothing but the distant ripple of water. Then a faint mechanical whir drifted down from above—so soft it could have been mistaken for the wings of night insects.Her heart thudded. “Gillow…”He rose to his feet, the predatory focus of the Alpha settling over him. His crimson eyes glowed faintly as he scanned the faintly glowing sky.Shapes moved above the thinning clouds—dark, insect-like silhouettes against the paling blue. A half-dozen, no, more, circling.“Drones,” he said, his voice turning hard. “Not ours.”Even as he spoke, small black canisters detached fr

    As they dressed again by the lake, the glow of a nearby lantern caught Arda’s eye. A little way up the bank stood a low, round-roofed tent of pale fabric, its entrance drawn back. Inside, a soft fire-bowl glowed and a pile of thick furs waited, warm against the cool night. Gillow noticed her glance. His voice, low and warm, brushed against her ear. “It’s tradition. A shelter is prepared for the mates on the night of the first run. We’ll greet our pack in the morning as one.” "Okay." Her eyes met his, steady and shining. “I’m ready.” He drew her close and kissed her — a slow, deep joining that carried both tenderness and the fierce new bond between them. He led ther towards the tent. The tent was lit softly by a single lantern that cast a golden glow over the furs laid out for them. Gillow held Arda’s hand as they stepped inside. The muffled hush of the forest and the gentle lap of water from the nearby lake made the space feel almost separate from the world. Arda l

    The invited pack members had gathered in the moon-lit arena, standing in neat clusters according to their regions. The air was thick with anticipation and the scent of pine and burning resin. Arda’s family stood among the front rows, a little apart from the rest, their presence drawing quiet glances. Arda leaned closer to the women around her, her voice low but wistful. “I wish my human family were here,” she murmured. Sue touched her arm gently, her tone steady but protective. “In case there is trouble, they would be the most vulnerable. That’s why Gillow didn’t want them here. It’s for their own good.” Karina’s eyes softened as she added, “At least they were there to see you married the human way.” Arda nodded, the corner of her lips lifting into a faint smile. “I know. It’s just… a wish.” Her mother’s sister stepped closer, her presence a quiet comfort. “They sent their love,” she said with a reassuring smile. “Now focus on the present. Everything will be all r

    The first rays of the sun gilded the garden when Gillow returned to the mansion. The scent of dew and the distant murmur of the woods mixed with the crisp morning air. At a long wooden table beneath a white canopy, his lieutenants and advisers waited, their eyes following their Alpha as he strode across the grass.It was the day of the mating ceremony.The discussion at the garden table was brief but grave—last-minute arrangements for security, instructions for border patrols, and the final details for the ritual under the rising moon. When the meeting was dismissed, the men scattered to their posts, leaving Gillow to walk back toward the mansion’s wide veranda.Inside, he found Arda in their chamber, sitting at the edge of the bed, her phone clutched tight in her hands. Her brow was furrowed, her posture tense, and she didn’t notice him at first.Gillow’s voice broke the silence. “What troubles you, mate?”Arda looked up quickly. Her eyes were wide, her voice hushed but urgent. “Plea

    That night, after the celebration at the estate had quieted, Gillow led Arda out to the wide back terrace. The moon was higher now, pale and full enough to silver the woods beyond. The rest of her family stood together on the grass below, their eyes glowing faintly in the moonlight.“Watch,” Gillow murmured.Arda held her breath as Dan Avero shifted first. The change was swift and fluid; there was no pain, only a shimmer of power, a ripple of muscle and light, until a great wolf stood where the man had been. One by one the others followed, their wolves stepping forward and lifting their heads toward the woods.“They can shift at will,” Gillow explained quietly at her side. “They’ve mastered it. You will too, in time.”Arda leaned into him, awed by the sight of her kin slipping into the forest, their white breath rising like mist in the moon-cold air. “It’s beautiful,” she whispered. When she looked up at Gillow, he was already watching her. Their lips found each other in a slow, tende
