Ella."Kyle, wait. Give him until midnight like we agreed.""Why? So he can have another thirty minutes to be a coward?""Because we made a promise. We keep our word even when others don't."Kyle's finger hovered over Logan's contact. His jaw clenched. Then he lowered the phone. "Fine. Thirty more minutes. But if midnight passes with no word, I'm making that call myself.""Agreed."We sat in tense silence, watching the clock. The seconds crawled by with agonizing slowness. Each tick felt like a hammer blow.Eleven forty-five.Kyle's leg bounced with nervous energy. His hands clenched and unclenched in his lap.Eleven fifty.I checked my phone for the hundredth time. No messages. No missed calls. Nothing.Eleven fifty-five."Five minutes," Kyle said. "Five minutes and he's officially failed.""Maybe he's talking to her right now.""He's had all day. All week. If he hasn't done it by now, he's not going to."At eleven fifty-seven, my phone rang.The sound made us both jump. Unknown numb

Kyle."What does that mean?" I asked carefully."It means I'm watching. All of you. If this bond causes one more incident, if Jason so much as looks at your mate wrong, I'm pulling Moonlight Pack from our alliance with Silver Fang."My stomach dropped. Logan's alliance was with Jason's pack, but the ripple effects would hit us too. Silver Fang and Crescent Moon had been working together closely because of the triad bond. If Logan withdrew, it would destabilize everything we'd built."Alpha Logan, that would affect more than just Silver Fang," I said carefully. "The triad bond has created cooperation between our packs. If you pull out, it could collapse the entire structure we've been building.""Then maybe Jason should have thought about that before kissing your mate.""He made one mistake.""One mistake that's cost my daughter her happiness and her trust. That's not nothing, Alpha Kyle."He was right. But the consequences he was threatening went far beyond one broken relationship. Mo

Ella."Brynn.""Jason." Her voice was cold.The tension in the room was suffocating."You want to see the bond?" Elder Rowan's voice came from behind us. He must have arrived while we were talking. "I can show you. There's a revelation ritual. It makes supernatural bonds visible to witnesses.""Can you do it now?" Brynn asked."If everyone consents."We all looked at each other."I consent," Jason said."Me too," I added.Kyle nodded. "Do it."Elder Rowan set up quickly. He drew symbols on the floor with chalk. Lit candles at specific points."Everyone stand in the circle," he instructed.We obeyed. Jason, Kyle, and I stood in a triangle formation. Brynn and Logan watched from outside the circle.Elder Rowan began chanting.The air grew thick. Heavy. I could barely breathe.Then I saw it.Golden threads of light appeared, connecting Kyle and me. Bright, strong, pulsing with energy. The primary mate bond.But between Jason and me, the thread was different. It was silver, thin, flickeri

Ella.From his expression, he felt the same shift. His shoulders relaxed. Something that had been tense in his face smoothed out."It's done," Jason breathed. His voice was full of relief.Elder Rowan released our foreheads and stepped back. The silver light faded slowly, like dawn breaking in reverse.The silver thread between Jason and me was still there, but it looked different now. Stable. Steady. No longer flickering like a dying flame. It pulsed with calm, even light."The bond is stabilized," Elder Rowan announced to the witnesses. "The secondary bond has found its proper form. Political alliance between Silver Fang Pack and Crescent Moon Pack, anchored through Luna Ella."Applause broke out among the witnesses. Relief flooded their faces. Some were crying. Others were smiling.But I barely heard them. I was too focused on the change inside me.The bond was there. Permanent. Unbreakable. But it felt right now. Not invasive or confusing. Just a clean connection linking me to Jas

Ella.Exactly eighteen minutes later, the doorbell rang.Kyle answered it. My father stood on the porch, looking nervous. He wore jeans and a button-down shirt. His hair was combed neatly."Come in, Thomas," Kyle said.Dad stepped inside. His eyes immediately found Elena. Something passed between them. A look of relief and love and fear all mixed together."Thank you for letting me come," Dad said to Kyle."You're Ella's father. You're always welcome here."Dad crossed the room and took Elena's hand. She stood, and they faced us together."I know this is unexpected," Dad said. "But I love Elena. I never stopped loving her. Breaking up because our kids became mates was the hardest thing I've ever done.""We thought we were doing the right thing," Elena added. "Giving you space to build your relationship without the awkwardness of us being together.""But it didn't make anyone happy," Dad continued. "It just made us all lonely and miserable."Kyle looked at them. "So you're together now
