ONE YEAR AND FOUR MONTHS LATER ELIAS'S POV I stood in the graduation gown, the silver tassel brushing my cheek, and looked out at the sea of students and families filling the Mortlach Academy stadium. Beside me, Rowan shifted, his shoulder pressing against mine. He was nervous. I could feel it in the way he kept adjusting his collar, the way his foot tapped against the ground. "Relax, you're going to be fine," I whispered and he nodded before taking a deep breath. The academic awards were announced and I topped the class, no surprise there, given how many nights I'd spent studying instead of sleeping. Rowan had come second, which was nothing short of miraculous considering he'd had to relearn two years of material in less than one. Silva had taken third, and she'd grumbled about it for a full ten minutes before Selena reminded her that top three her final year was nothing to be ashamed of.

The council had debated, the elders had deliberated, and the Moon Goddess had given her sign, a lunar eclipse that bathed the pack lands in silver light, lasting exactly as long as the ceremony would take.There was no question. It was time."Honey, it's time," Rowan said from the doorway.I turned. He leaned against the frame, arms crossed, a small smile playing on his lips. At thirty-nine, he was more handsome than ever, the sh
