Raithe

The great hall of Silver Shadow was warm, loud, and far too full of people. Wolves talked, laughed, clattered plates, and greeted us with the sort of polished hospitality packs liked to flaunt during alliance gatherings.

I sat at the long central table beside Alpha Thorn, a position meant to honour me as a visiting alpha. Instead, it felt like a spotlight I never asked for.

My wolf was pacing so aggressively beneath my skin he might’ve worn a groove into my ribs.

Again, I thought irritably, shifting in my seat. We are not under threat. Calm down.

He didn’t.

Ever since arriving yesterday, a strange current had been coursing through me—mild at first, then growing sharper with every passing hour. The forest, the pack grounds, the pack house… all of it kept tugging at the edge of my awareness like a constant whisper I couldn’t decipher.

Tonight it was worse.

Tonight it felt personal.

Dax leaned close, voice low but amused. “You’re vibrating.”

    Raithe The great hall of Silver Shadow was warm, loud, and far too full of people.

    Ainsley By the time the sun began dipping behind the treeline, the Silver Shadow pack house felt like a storm cell waiting to burst. Guests had settled into their rooms, warriors were rotating through evening patrols, and the entire pack buzzed with a strange mix of excitement and tension. And I… I was apparently vibrating like a live wire. My wolf paced constant circles in my mind, restless in a way that made my skin itch. Something is coming, she kept whispering, but when I pressed her for more, she only huffed and prowled harder. Not helpful. I had tried to focus on my last-minute responsibilities: finalizing the seating arrangements for tomorrow night, checking in with our Beta, tightening the schedule for ceremony preparations, even touching base with Dr. Hale about herb storage for emergencies. All of it ran smoothly—too smoothly. The kind of smooth that felt like it was only pretending not to crack. And ever since the Blood Moon delegation arrived, the buzzing ben

    Raithe The guest cabin was nicer than Raithe expected—modern, spacious, smelling faintly of cedar and clean linens. Silver Shadow hospitality was no joke. Dax shut the door behind them and threw himself onto one of the couches with a grunt. “Alright,” he said, stretching his legs out, “are you going to tell me what the hell that was, or do I need to start guessing?” Raithe pretended not to hear him. He walked the length of the room, fingertips brushing the window frame as he looked out over the pack grounds. Wolves moved back and forth carrying party supplies, decorations, food crates. A buzz of life and anticipation. Ainsley’s scent still clung to the hallway behind them like a soft echo he couldn’t shake. Dax cleared his throat dramatically. “Okay. I’ll start guessing.” Raithe closed his eyes. “Don’t.” “Was it her voice? Her face? Her hair? Her—” “Dax.” Dax grinned, hands raised. “Just trying to help.” Raithe turned away from the window, irritation simmering under his sk

    Ainsley I had no reason to linger in the hallway outside Dad’s office. None. Zero. Absolutely no reason. And yet… there I was. Holding a tray of water pitchers and glasses I’d already delivered ten minutes ago, pretending I still had a task that required me to stand in the exact spot where Alpha Raithe would have to pass. My wolf sat coiled inside me, ears pricked sharply toward the office door like she was waiting for something—someone. You’re being weird, I whispered internally. She ignored me, which only made my nerves buzz more. The muffled rumble of voices drifted through the door—Dad’s steady tone and Raithe’s deeper, rougher one—words I couldn’t make out but that echoed with tension. Blood Moon wolves carried a certain weight everywhere they went, but Raithe? His presence alone had made the packhouse feel smaller, as if the walls bowed inward when he walked past. And every time he’d glanced my way—even briefly—my wolf had jolted in my chest like she’d been caught d

    Raithe The clearing bustled with life around him—voices, footsteps, the faint hum of excitement. But Raithe felt none of it. His senses were narrowed, sharpened, pointed like an arrow at the lingering echo of something he still refused to name. He forced his shoulders back as Alpha Thorn stepped forward, radiating steadiness and warmth that made the air feel… lighter. A sharp contrast to the heavy, storm-charged tension that clung to Raithe like a second skin. “Alpha Thorn,” Raithe greeted, gripping the older wolf’s forearm. “Alpha Raithe,” Thorn returned, voice full of genuine welcome. “Your presence is appreciated. Many are looking forward to meeting you and your pack.” Raithe doubted that—Blood Moon’s reputation usually sent wolves scrambling in the opposite direction—but he let the politeness stand. He released Thorn’s arm, nodding slightly. Daxon, standing just behind him, offered the Silver Shadow Alpha a respectful dip of his head. The Silver Shadow warriors mirrored it,

    Two days until my eighteenth birthday. Two days until the mate bond either changed my life forever… or shattered every plan I’d dared to make. And my wolf was acting weird about it. Not excited. Not nervous. Just… alert. Too alert. “Can you stop pacing?” my brother Kieran groaned from the couch, arms folded behind his head. “You’re making the floorboards anxious.” I shot him a glare. “I’m not pacing.” “You’ve done the same loop around the dining table eight times,” he said, counting off on his fingers. “Actually nine. Should I start charging you?” I opened my mouth to argue, but my wolf surged restlessly again, pacing under my skin like she could hear something neither of us understood. What is it? But she only huffed, attention stretched toward the window like she was trying to scent the wind through the glass. Before I could press her further, Mum swept into the room, hands full of last-minute decorations and a look that meant she expected everyone to be helpful right n
