Kenny nodded in agreement. "My father knows, too. He's supportive, even if he's been a bit surprised by the timing."

Axel squeezed Lilly's hand gently. "And my father... well, he already knows, too. He knows I felt something special for you. He'll understand."

Lilly felt a wave of relief wash over her, though anxiety still bubbled beneath the surface. "But what about the rest of the pack? Won't they think it's strange?"

"Let us worry about that," Kenny said softly. "For now, we just focus on us. On figuring this out together."

Axel nodded, his eyes never leaving Lilly's gaze.

All of a sudden, her head began to hurt, and she fell to the ground.

-It’s about time,- the voice boomed in her mind.

-Who’s there? Why are you so loud? You're making my head hurt.- Lilly said to her inner monologue.

Her sudden pain panicked both of her mates, who landed on the ground on either side of her, holding her hand, and the other rubbing her back. Luka had panicked too, but unlike the sparks of their mate

    "It's not your fault," Lilly interrupted, wiping at her tears. "You can't be responsible for her actions."Axel took the place on her other side, his presence a solid comfort. "We'll fix this somehow. The competition, the violin, we'll find a way."The three sat in silence for a moment, their bond humming between them like a tangible thread. The phantom sensation had settled into a steady pulse, their proximity easing some of the raw edge of Lilly's grief."I keep thinking about what Elder Gideon said," Lilly finally whispered. "About the darkness gathering. What if this is just the beginning? What if the prophecy means more challenges, more losses?""Then we face them together," Kenny said firmly. "Thr

    "Don't be ridiculous," Amali scoffed, though guilt flickered briefly across her features. "It was an accident. Besides, it's just a violin. She can get another one."The room temperature seemed to drop as Alpha Mick stepped forward, his Alpha authority radiating outward in palpable waves. "That violin was a Riverwood heirloom, passed through five generations. Its value cannot be measured in mere currency."Amali's confidence faltered under her uncle's cold gaze. "I... I didn't know.""You knew," Alpha Blackthorn said unexpectedly, his voice carrying the weight of his own authority. "I myself commented on its historical significance after Lilly's performance."The alliance between the Alphas presented a

    "I'm not implying anything," she replied calmly. "I'm stating facts. The mark I saw is associated with only one thing, a triad bond blessed by the Goddess herself." Her eyes were fixed on Lilly. "And given Kenny's very public rejection of Amali, and the way both he and that Blackthorn boy watch you when they think no one's looking...it's not difficult to connect the dots."Lilly felt her heart racing, torn between denial and relief at having someone else who understood. "Emerald, please...""I haven't told Amali," Emerald interrupted, her expression softening slightly. "Or anyone else. But Lilly, a triad bond? At your age? That's... unprecedented.""It wasn't exactly planned," Lilly said quietly, making her decision. Emerald had already figured out too much to be misled by half-truths. "It started to happen the day Axel arrived. The next morning, our wolves started to wake up, making our bond snap into place. We're still trying to understand it ourselves."Luka sighed, recognising the

    Amali's smile faltered, her eyes widening slightly at Kenny's direct rejection. The room seemed to still around them, conversations dimming as heads turned toward the unexpected confrontation."Someone else?" Amali repeated, her voice carrying just enough to draw more attention. "You never mentioned anyone specific before. Who is she?"Kenny maintained his composure, though the phantom sensation on his finger pulsed with warning. "That's private," he replied firmly. "All that matters is that my feelings are engaged elsewhere, and it wouldn't be fair to encourage your attention."Lilly kept her expression carefully neutral despite Ruby's surge of protective pride. Beside her, Axel shifted almost imperceptibly closer, a subtle show of support that only she would notice.Amali's eyes narrowed, flicking between Kenny and Lilly with sudden suspicion. "Is it someone here? Someone in this room?""Amali," Emerald interjected smoothly, linking arms with her sister. "This isn't the time or plac

    "There's my beautiful daughter," Alpha Mick said warmly as Lilly approached with Luna. "Alpha Ryan, you remember Lilly?""Of course," the Blackthorn Alpha replied with a smile that reminded Lilly strongly of Axel. "Your reputation as a violinist has reached even our pack. My son speaks highly of your talent."Lilly felt a flush of pleasure at the compliment, carefully keeping her eyes from seeking out Axel in the crowd. "Thank you, Alpha Ryan. Your son Axel is too kind."As they entered the dining hall, Lilly was acutely aware of multiple gazes following her, Emerald's curious, Amali's calculating, and somewhere in the crowd, Kenny and Axel's protective. She kept her chin high, moving with the grace her mother had taught her toward her assigned seat.

    The Moon Rose on her nightstand pulsed gently, its silver-gold light a comforting presence. Lilly reached out to touch one delicate petal, drawing strength from its warmth."How am I supposed to handle a month of this?" she whispered to the flower. "A month of watching Amali throw herself at Kenny while pretending it doesn't affect me?"The Rose offered no answer, but the phantom sensation on her finger warmed reassuringly. Somewhere in the pack house, Kenny and Axel had returned, their presence a balm to her wolf's distress even from a distance.A soft knock at her door preceded Emerald's entrance. Unlike her sisters, Emerald had always been the kindest of her cousins, though still prone to the family's tendency toward ambition."H
