We went straight to the reception hall after the ceremony.

The Black Moon Pack’s reception hall was bright with warm light from the chandeliers above. It was filled with long tables that are covered with silver plates and crystal glasses. Servants were busy walking around, carrying trays of food.

I sat at the head table next to Lucas while facing the pack that I would call home from now on. The ceremony was over but everyone was still watching me. Each person who came up bowed before speaking to me. Their eyes are filled with admiration and respect.

“Are you okay?” he asked after a while. I smiled gently.

“Yes,” I said. I never liked large gatherings. In fact, I felt dizzy being with so many people.

But what choice do I have?

“Good,” he replied with a small smile. He turned to greet one of the elders who came to congratulate him.

The air was thick with voices and clinking glasses. Several important dignitaries were present. They were leaders from neighboring packs and allied cla

    MandyMorning came too quickly.By the time I stepped out of my quarters the yard was alive with movement. Warriors in formal black lined the path to the hall. Their faces gave nothing away as they stood at attention with spears grounded at their sides. The scent of incense drifted on the breeze and it felt stronger than yesterday as if the air itself had been prepared for this day.Lucas waited at the base of the steps. His eyes moved over me in the silver gown he had sent but he said nothing. He offered his arm. I hesitated for a moment then took it. The murmurs from the crowd faded as we began to walk.The stone steps were the same as yesterday yet they felt heavier under my feet. The moons carved into the columns seemed to watch as I passed from thin crescents to full silver discs. I placed a hand on the rail not only to steady myself but to keep my balance. The child growing inside me had made me slower these days though I did not let it show.When we reached the entrance the coo

    MatthewThe ride back to Silverwood was long enough for me to replay every word Abbie said. I kept thinking about the way her eyes had softened for just a second when I asked if Mandy ever talked about me, and that small hesitation told me she was holding something back. It was as if she knew more than she wanted to tell me, but even that brief moment was enough to make me believe Mandy had thought about me, even if it hurt her to do so.By the time I reached the pack house, my thoughts were no longer clouded with doubt. Guilt pressed heavily on me, but beneath it was a need that I could not ignore. I needed to see her, to hear her voice, and to face her no matter what she had to say. I had to see her.That night I barely slept. My wolf paced in the back of my mind. “You let her go. You let your pride ruin everything.”“I know,” I whispered into the dark.“No, you do not. If you did, you would have gone after her before she stood at that altar with someone else.”“I made a mistake.”“

    I was in my office where I spent almost all of my hours. I tried to focus on the stack of reports I had been avoiding all week. They were about border patrol schedules and trade agreements with neighboring packs, but my ind didn’t seem to care. I wasn’t understanding a single word because my mind kept drifting back to Mandy and that imaginary image of her in a wedding dress beside another wolf. And that was killing me inside. Then came a knock. Claire slipped inside the room before I could even answer. “You’re working yourself too hard,” she said casually. I didn’t even dare to acknowledge her presence with a gaze and kept my focus on the papers in front of me.“What do you want, Claire?”She walked closer and I could smell her potent perfume from where I was sitting. Vanilla Amber. That was enough for me to know her intention. “I thought you should know something. About Mandy,” she said.Hearing her name, my eyes lifted from the reports. “What about her?”She hesitated for effec

    MandyI walked up the wide stone steps with my hand on the smooth rail. The columns rose higher than I could reach. It was carved with moons from the thinnest crescent to a full silver disc. The stone was cold under my skin as if it had never seen the sun. I neared the tall entrance and the faint scent of incense drifted out to meet me.The hall was wide and dim with its ceiling lost in shadow. Unlit torches lined the walls in holders shaped like coiled wolves. In the center stood a raised platform worn smooth by years of vows. I stepped onto it and felt the hollow echo under my boots. From here I could see the empty benches and the doorway where sunlight cut across the floor.“This is where it will happen tomorrow,” a voice said behind me.I turned to see Lucas walking toward me. His eyes scanned the hall like it belonged to him.He stopped at the base of the platform. “Stand here.”“I already was.”“Then stand here again.” His tone gave no choice.I stayed where I was as he stepped

    ucas walked along the corridor without saying a thing. I stayed close anyway. When he reached a tall wooden door, he pushed it open without knocking. The smell hit me first…old paper, leather, something faintly like dust that’s been there a long time. Shelves of books ran along the walls and right in the middle sat a big desk that looked like it had been polished a hundred times.“Sit,” he told me, already going behind the desk like it was his natural place in the world.I sat in one of the chairs across from him, hands still on my knees because I didn’t know what else to do with them. He leaned back just enough to look comfortable. But his eyes didn’t leave me.“You did good this morning,” he said after a pause. “But keeping quiet all the time won’t get you respect. They’ve got to see you actually do something.”I gave a quick nod not sure if he wanted an answer or just wanted me to hear it.“You’ll start getting ready for the Moon Oath Ceremony,” he went on. “It’s weeks away, but do
