When I heard Ethan had come, the smiles on both my and Lily's faces instantly vanished.Given Ethan's abilities since becoming the Shadow Moon Alpha, I wasn't at all surprised he found us so quickly.I straightened my Silver Crescent heir ceremonial clothing, the silver ornaments jingling as I headed to the village entrance.Before I even reached the gates, I could hear my pack sisters' taunting voices from a distance:"So you're the man Autumn chose? You look useless to me.""Exactly! He doesn't even look strong. I wouldn't give him a second glance.""Hey, if you were buying him, how many amethysts would you offer?""Pfft, amethysts? This type is worth ten common healing crystals at most!"Ethan's gloomy voice carried over to me:"A group of women judging men, the world's truly turned upside down!""I don't want to argue with you.

Ethan left that very day.He seemed to have aged several years in just a few hours.Lily learned what happened from me.I asked her, "Do you blame Mommy for not letting you see him one last time?"Lily shook her head, that maturity beyond her years surfacing again."Uncle Ethan wasn't meant to be a father," she said quietly."So, I don't mind."I established a healing crystal business with my sisters, just as I had once done with Ethan.Over the years, I became the new Alpha of Silver Crescent. Our pack gained reputation for high-quality crystals with excellent healing properties, never cheating young or old.Gradually, other packs came to appreciate our goods, opening trade channels with us.
