Semua Bab Lilly Riverwood and the Moon Rose Ritual: Bab 91 - Bab 100

“Yeah, I’m feeling it that way too, you and Kenny aren’t each other's mate, are you?” James asked. The phantom sensation pulsed with a complex mix of emotions as Axel considered James's direct question. There was a time when such a question would have seemed invasive, but if Clay and James were truly allies in protecting their bond, honesty seemed the wisest course. "No," Axel answered carefully. "Kenny and I are both mated to Lilly, not to each other. But the bond connects all three of us in ways that transcend traditional mate bonds. We feel each other's emotions, sense each other's presence. There's a... completion when we're together that's difficult to describe." Clay nodded thoughtfully, making notes in a small journal. "That aligns with the historical accounts

"Sorry about that," Axel said, steadying himself. "I was lost in thought." Luka smiled, his amber eyes, so similar to Lilly's, assessing Axel with friendly curiosity. "No harm done. Clay and James showing you the archives?" "Yes," Axel confirmed, seizing the opportunity to speak with Lilly's brother. "They've been very helpful. Your family's historical records are impressive." "One of Riverwood's greatest treasures," Luka agreed, falling into step beside Axel as they walked down the corridor. "Though I admit I don't spend as much time there as Clay does. Too many responsibilities elsewhere." "As future Alpha," Axel said, watching Luka's reaction carefully. 

Amali leaned forward, something new in her expression, a protective determination that Allischa had never seen in her typically self-centred sister. "The darkness in my dream," Amali said quietly, "it fed on exactly this kind of suspicion and division. It thanked me personally for helping break something precious before it could fulfil its purpose." Allischa's expression flickered with genuine surprise at this direct approach. "What are you suggesting?" "That some questions are better left unasked until the right time," Emerald interjected diplomatically. "Divine dreams and prophecies unfold according to the Goddess's timeline, not ours." Luna Harmony nodded approvingly at her niece's wisdom. "The Goddess reveals what we need to kno

Amali's expression grew thoughtful. "Proceed as planned with the recital. The music itself might reach her in ways our words cannot. In my dream, the melody had power beyond mere sound; it illuminated truth and pushed back darkness." "The Goddess called it a bridge," Lilly murmured, remembering the divine presence that had blessed their bond. "Not just between traditional and modern materials, but between hearts and minds." "Then use it as such tomorrow," Amali suggested. "Play not just with technical perfection but with the full emotion of your bond. Let the music speak what words cannot yet explain." The phantom sensation warmed with agreement from Kenny and Axel. Lilly nodded, drawing strength from their distant presence. 

Amali watched carefully, noting how the music affected the audience. According to her dream, Lilly's playing could potentially heal the fractures that darkness might exploit, reaching hearts in ways that words could not. Beside her, Emerald observed Allischa's reaction, noting how even their calculating sister seemed momentarily transfixed by the music's unusual resonance. As the second piece reached its conclusion, a brief silence fell over the gathering hall before the applause began, more enthusiastic than before, with several wolves rising to their feet in spontaneous appreciation. The phantom sensation warmed with shared satisfaction as Kenny and Axel felt the positive response through their bond. Lilly took a moment to collect herself before the final selection, "Triquetra," the piece she had composed specificall
