Dressing quickly in a simple blue dress, Lilly prepared herself for the difficult day ahead. The phantom sensation strengthened briefly, suggesting Kenny that Luka, Axel, Emma, Rachel and Mia enjoy them for a picnic by the lake to help take Lilly’s mind off what happened until a replacement violin arrived.
Lilly hesitated, her fingers hovering over the carefully wrapped bundle containing the shattered remains of her beloved violin. The thought of a picnic by the lake seemed both appealing and impossible, how could she enjoy herself when her musical voice had been silenced so cruelly?
"A picnic might be good for you," Luna Harmony suggested gently, noting her daughter's indecision. "After we visit Master Johannes, of co

"It could work," Kenny agreed, his expression lighting. "Your mother, Luka, Emerald, they could run interference.""And my father already supports the idea of me helping with your competition preparation," Axel added. "He sees it as strengthening pack relations."The phantom sensation warmed with renewed optimism, the connection between them steady and reassuring. They had faced another challenge and found a potential solution together, three petals of a single flower, as their shared dream had described."There's something else," Emerald said, her voice dropping even lower. "That violin, there's more to it than exceptional craftsmanship. The way it responded to your bond, the glow that surrounded you while playing... I've read about such things in t

"Not just amplify," Lilly corrected thoughtfully. "Transform. Like the violin itself is becoming part of our bond."Axel's expression turned contemplative. "My father mentioned that Anton Bauer is rumoured to have Moon Goddess blood in his lineage. Maybe this instrument was created with some kind of... divine purpose.""A bridge," Lilly repeated her earlier thought. "Between tradition and innovation, between the past and future." She ran her fingers lightly over the violin's unique surface, feeling the perfect transition between wood and resin. "Just like our bond bridges our two packs."The phantom sensation warmed at her words, as if confirming this insight. All three unconsciously touched their ring fingers where the invisible mark pulsed in unison.

"A perfect symbol," Emerald agreed. "And speaking of your bond..." She glanced toward the door before continuing in a lower voice. "Kenny and Axel are pacing in the hallway. I passed them on my way here. They're trying very hard to look casual, but it's obvious they're waiting for news."The phantom sensation warmed with confirmation, and Lilly couldn't suppress a small smile. "They felt my reaction when I first played it. They know something significant happened.""You should tell them," Emerald suggested. "I can create a reason for you all to meet, perhaps in the music room? It would be natural for you to want to practice with your new instrument."Lilly nodded gratefully. "That would be perfect. And it wouldn't raise suspicions, especially with the competiti

Lilly nodded, positioning the instrument under her chin. The fit was perfect, as if made specifically for her. Taking a deep breath, she drew the bow across the strings for the first time.The sound that emerged was pure, rich, and hauntingly beautiful, but also somehow different from any violin she had played before. Where her grandfather's instrument had sung with the voices of generations past, this one seemed to vibrate with possibilities and bridging the new with the future that was yet to come.Lilly continued to play, testing the hybrid violin with a simple scale that evolved into a flowing melody. The instrument responded to her touch as if they'd been partners for years rather than moments. Each note resonated with a clarity that filled the study, drawing everyone present into a reverent silence.As she played, the phantom sensation on her finger pulsed in perfect rhythm with the music. Somewhere in the pack house, Kenny and Axel would be feeling this connection, experiencing

Lilly's eyes widened. "What does that mean?""I'm not sure exactly," Axel admitted. "But if anyone could create an instrument worthy of replacing your grandfather's violin, it would be someone with that kind of heritage."The phantom sensation warmed with sudden intensity, as if confirming his words. Before Lilly could respond, Emma and Rachel appeared around the bend, arms full of colourful leaves."We're making autumn crowns!" Emma announced cheerfully. "Come help, Lilly!"With a small smile, Lilly rose from the log, exchanging a meaningful glance with Axel before joining her friends. The phantom sensation remained warm and steady, a constant reminder of the bond that connected her to Kenny and Axel even as they maintained their c

Luka's face fell, but he quickly rallied. "I'm sorry, Lil. But the picnic is still on if you're willing. Everyone's waiting by the cars."Lilly hesitated, glancing toward her mother. The thought of socialising seemed exhausting, yet the alternative, sitting alone in her room, dwelling on her loss, seemed worse."Go," Luna encouraged gently. "Fresh air and friends will do you good. Alpha Blackthorn said the photographs from Vienna should arrive by email this afternoon. We can review them when you return."With a reluctant nod, Lilly followed Luka to where their friends were gathered. Kenny and Axel stood slightly apart from the others, their postures relaxed, but their eyes immediately finding hers as she approached. The phantom sensation warmed with their proximity.
