A sense of foreboding washed over Amanda as she emerged from the portal back into the heart of the Shadow Pack territory. But something was amiss. Her keen eyes, sharpened by her experiences, quickly noticed the signs. The pack grounds bore traces of recent turmoil. She saw scorch marks on the ground, snapped branches, and displaced soil - clear indicators of a struggle.Her heart raced as she ventured deeper into the territory. Anxiety knotted in her chest, and her thoughts spiraled into a whirlwind of confusion. Had the battle with Dimitri's forces reached their home during her absence?

"Marcus, tell Marcus that the wedding is off," she declared, her voice laced with anger. "I am rejecting him as my mate." Marcus's eyes widened in surprise, concern and sadness crossing his face.

THARGELIA FESTIVAL (MOON RITUALS)Amanda’s POVIt was the custom of the twelve packs in the Wolf Kingdom of Calabar to gather yearly precisely during the wolf moon. The wolf moon falls on the seventeenth day in January.It was an auspicious month and everyone looked forward to it. Our ancestors believed that when we honor the gods, they would bless the land, and protect our territories from attacks from other supernatural kingdoms and human hunters.

No one questioned his decision because he was feared and there was some rumo
