"Can we talk face-to-face?" Nerissa Silverdew's voice over the receiver carried an icy edge that bore no resemblance to the warm stranger I had met months ago in M Province.

What a transparent ploy. I gripped my phone tighter, staring out at the falling snow blanketing Silvermoon Capital.

"I hardly see why an audience is necessary," I replied evenly, keeping my tone detached as I sat by the window of the quiet sanctuary.

There was a heavy pause across the line before Neri

    "What is that in your hands?" I demanded, my voice cutting sharply through the shadows of the private study.Caelan didn't answer immediately. He stood rigid beside the mahogany desk, his massive shoulders trembling beneath his tailored wool coat as he stared down at the yellowed parchment resting inside the open sandalwood box.The air in the room felt suddenly devoid of oxygen. I crossed the floor in quick, silent steps, stopping inches behind him to peer over his shoulder at the handwritten pages."Caelan," I repeated, my heart hammering violently against my ribs. "Turn around and look at me. What did you find?"He let out a harsh, broken breath that sounded like a dry sob. Slowly, with the reluctance of a man walking toward his own execution, he turned his head and faced me. The cold, unyielding alpha who ruled the northern territories with an iron fist had vanished. In his place stood someone utterly shattered, his obsidian eyes hollowed out by a ter

    "What is that in your hands?" I asked, my voice barely carrying across the dimly lit study.Caelan did not answer immediately. He stood frozen beside the mahogany desk, his massive shoulders trembling under the dark wool of his coat as he stared down at the yellowed parchment resting inside the open sandalwood box.The air in the room felt suddenly devoid of oxygen. I crossed the floor in quick, silent steps, stopping inches behind him to peer over his shoulder at the handwritten pages."Caelan," I repeated, my heart hammering violently against my ribs.

Slowly, with the reluctance of a man walking toward his own execution, he turned his head and faced me. The cold, unyielding alpha who ruled the northern territories with an iron fist had vanished. In his place stood someone utterly shattered, his obsidian eyes hollowed out by a terror so profound it made my knees buckle."Yo

    It was uncanny how instantly I could pick Caelan out from the densely packed crowd, even amidst the swirling sea of silk robes and formal alpha attire.The traditional winter pack ceremony had already wound its way through the intricate customs of our ancestors, from stepping across the cleansing hearth fire to offering steaming cups of sacred herbal tea to the senior pack elders, who in turn bestowed heavy jade tokens and silver bullion upon the newly bound pair. Instead of cold metal bands, Ronan Greystone and her chosen mate had exchanged carved jade bracelets, sealing their vows under the watchful gaze of the winter moon.When the formal rituals finally concluded, Ronan immediately snared my wrist, a mischievous gleam dancing in her bright eyes. "Come with me, Elowen. Someone insisted on preparing a private surprise just for you.""What sort of surprise?" I asked, caught completely off guard as she dragged me past the whispering rows of aristocratic pack members toward the rear gl

    "This floral archway is entirely too extravagant, even for a Greystone alpha wedding," I remarked, running my fingertips over the velvet texture of the sandalwood box Ronan handed me while adjusting the heavy silk sleeves of my crimson gown.Ronan flashed a radiant grin, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she smoothed down the intricate embroidery of her traditional ceremonial robe. "My chosen mate and his pack elders insisted on sparing no expense. When an alpha claims his mate before the entire territory, every detail must reflect the absolute height of our pack's power."I offered a soft, understanding smile, looking around the opulent bridal suite of the alpine resort where the winter wedding was unfolding. "It certainly surpasses any ceremony I have ever witnessed in the capital.""That is because you have spent too many years hiding inside Caelan Thorncroft's fortress," Ronan teased lightly, nudging my arm with her elbow before turning back to the gilde

    "I thought I hated you, Caelan," I whispered, pulling the USB drive from the port and drawing a ragged breath to steady my trembling hands as I sat beside him on the edge of the bed. "There were days when the fury felt so heavy it choked me. But as the seasons passed, I realized the terror was entirely mine. I blamed myself for every breath my pup never took. It felt like my fault."Caelan caught my fingers in his large, calloused grip, his thumb gently smoothing back the loose strands of hair framing my face. "It was never your fault, Elowen," he rasped, his voice thick with unyielding devotion.I kept my eyes downcast, fighting the sudden burn behind my eyelids before looking up to offer him a tired, fragile smile. "What possessed you to kneel in the snow all night? You knew how bitter the frost was."A low, self-deprecating chuckle rumbled deep in his chest. "I suppose part of me hoped the pain would freeze the guilt away. I wanted you to look at me and feel something other than so

    Aldric tossed the heavy silver signet ring across the scarred wood of the teahouse table."You think a wire transfer erases centuries of blood?" Aldric growled, his amber eyes blazing with volatile possession as he leaned over the table until his breath ghosted across my cheek. "I sent your blood money straight back to your private vaults, Elowen. Along with the title deed to the Frostfang Refuge, registered exclusively in your name."My blood ran ice cold. I shoved the table away and scrambled back from the booth. "You are insane. I want nothing to do with your territory or your games."Nerissa Silverdew sat frozen beside us, her hand resting protectively over her swollen belly as she stared at Aldric in sheer disbelief. "Have you lost your mind? She is mated to the head of the Thorncroft Alpha Dominion!""Let Caelan Thorncroft come find me," Aldric snarled, his fangs elongating slightly as feral fury ripped through his voice. He reached across the divider, his large hand gripping my
