[Sera's POV]

"You need to wear white."

Beta Catherine stands in my doorway holding a garment bag, her expression as cold as always. It's been two weeks since I arrived at the Thornridge Pack, and she still looks at me like I'm something unpleasant she stepped in.

"White for what?" I ask, though I have a sinking feeling I already know.

"The Luna ceremony. It's tonight." She walks in without invitation and lays the garment bag on my bed. "The Elders have decided that waiting any longer sends the

    I spent the rest of the morning waiting for Kael in his personal chamber, after looking for him in everywhere I could.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the look on Kael's face, that look of hurt before he'd shut me out completely. The bond between us felt hollow now, like an empty room where something used to live. He'd locked me out, and the absence of him was almost worse than feeling his pain.His room smelled like the vanilla candles I'd lit, trying to calm my nerves. It wasn't working. I'd changed out of the stained nightgown into jeans and a soft grey sweater, but I still felt exposed. Vulnerable.A knock on my door made my heart skip."It's just me," a female voice called. Riley said from outside, "Can I come in?"I opened the door to find her holding a tray with tea and toast. Her dark curls were pulled back in a messy bun, and her brown eyes were full of concern."You missed breakfast," she said, slipping inside. "Figured you might need this.""Thank you." I took the tray,

    Very early in the next morning, Kael and I went for a slight training and when we were done, I was so exhausted and dirty that I had to rush to the kitchen to wash off my dirt hands while Kael had gone to his office, he had an urgent work to attend to. I was left standing in the kitchen trying to scrub out the dirts from under my nails with dish soap. "That's not going to work." My heart jumped, spinning around so fast I knocked over the soap bottle. It clattered across the counter, suds spreading across the granite. A man stood in the doorway. Tall, broad-shouldered, with the same storm-grey eyes as Kael. But where Kael's face was all hard angles and barely controlled anger, this man smiled easily. But in a mischievous way. "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you." He stepped into the kitchen, and I noticed how quietly he moved for someone his size. His boots didn't make a sound on the tile floor. He wore dark jeans and a leather jacket despite the warm morning, and his dark hai

    [Kade's POV] The morning of the marking ceremony, I wake up with Sera in my arms. She's still asleep, her face peaceful, her hair spread across my chest. I didn't move, neither did I wanted to wake her; just wanted to memorize this moment—the last morning before everything becomes permanent. I'm not nervous. I'm terrified. Not of marking her. I want that more than I want my next breath. But I'm terrified of failing her. Of not being the mate she deserves. Of the Silverwoods coming and all that... As if sensing my thoughts, Sera stirs. Her eyes flutter open, and when she sees me already awake and watching her, she smiles. "How long have you been awake?" Her voice is rough with sleep. "A while." She paused thoughtfully before saying, "Nervous?" "Terrified," I admit honestly. She props herself up on one elbow, studying my face. "Of marking me?" "Of everything after. Of not being enough for you." Her hand cups my cheek, her thumb stroking my skin. "You're already e

    I'm trying to act normal at breakfast, but the vision from last night keeps replaying in my mind.Your grandmother wants to meet you.Or perhaps we'll simply take what we need from you.My hands shake slightly as I reach for my coffee, and I spill some on the table."Sera?"Kade's voice pulls me back to the present. He's watching me from across the table with concern etched on his face. We're in his private dining area—I've been sleeping in his quarters for the past week, though still on the couch. Taking things slow, letting the relationship develop naturally.But right now, I don't feel natural. I feel terrified."I'm fine," I lie automatically.Through the mate bond, I feel his disbelief. He can sense my anxiety, my fear, the way my heart is racing."You're not fine. You've been distracted all morning." He sets down his own cup and comes around the table to kneel beside my chair. "Talk to me. Is this about the vision?"I nod, not trusting my voice."Tell me everything. Don't leave

    Riley insists on testing my new abilities the next morning."Come on," she says, practically dragging me to the training grounds at dawn. "You unlocked ancient goddess powers yesterday. We need to see what you can actually do.""I'm still figuring it out myself," I protest, but I follow her anyway. Truth is, I'm curious too. I can feel the power humming under my skin, waiting to be used.The training grounds are empty this early, which is good. The last thing I need is an audience while I potentially make a fool of myself."Okay, first test: strength." Riley points to the training weights—massive iron bars that the strongest warriors use for conditioning. "Try lifting that one."It's easily three hundred pounds. Before yesterday, I couldn't have budged it. But now, when I grasp the bar, it feels manageable. Not light, but definitely liftable.I hoist it overhead with effort but without the struggle I expected."Holy shit," Riley breathes. "That's Alpha-level strength. Maybe stronger."

    [Sera's POV]Three days after Vivienne's arrest, Mora from the library requests to see me privately.The message comes through Beta Catherine, who seems confused by it. "The old librarian wants a meeting with you. She says it's urgent and personal. Should I tell her you're too busy?""No, I'll meet with her." I'm curious—Mora has been kind to me since I arrived, but we've never been close enough for "urgent and personal" meetings.I find her in a private reading room in the library, surrounded by ancient books and scrolls. She looks nervous, her hands fidgeting with the edge of her shawl."Luna Sera, thank you for coming." She gestures to a chair across from her. "Please, sit. What I'm about to tell you... it's been weighing on me for twenty years."My stomach tightens with anticipation. "What is it?"Mora takes a deep breath. "I knew your mother. Celeste. She was my best friend."The world tilts slightly. "You knew my mother?""Yes. We grew up together, trained together, were insepar
