Dinner and Declarations

I stood in front of the mirror, second guessing everything.The dress someone had left in my room was beautiful: deep midnight blue that somehow made my silver hair glow and my violet eyes pop. It was elegant without being overly formal, and it fit perfectly.But I’d never worn anything like this. At Crescent Moon, I’d lived in plain clothes and hand me downs. Elena had given me practical training gear. This was different.This made me feel beautiful.You are beautiful,* my wolf said. And he’s going to lose his mind when he sees you.It’s just dinner, I reminded her for the hundredth time.It’s courtship. Traditional mate courtship. This matters.A knock on the door made my heart jump.“Aria? It’s me.” Kade’s voice, rough and uncertain. “I can walk you down if you’d like. Or you can meet me there. Whatever you’re comfortable with.”I took a deep breath and

Breaking Barriers

Three days after our dinner, I was sparring with pack warriors when Kade appeared at the training grounds. “Aria,” he called, his voice carrying across the ring. “A moment?” I finished pinning my current opponent (a warrior named Marcus who’d been giving me tips all morning) and jogged over, grabbing a towel to wipe the sweat from my face. “What’s up?” Kade’s expression was serious. “There’s someone here who wants to meet you. From Mountain Ridge Pack.” My body tensed. “The pack that tested me at Elena’s cabin?” “The same. Their Alpha, Dominic Cross, has requested an audience. He’s in my office now.” Kade’s hand found mine, grounding me. “I told him I’d ask if you’re willing to meet him. You don’t have to. I can send him away.” I considered this. Mountain Ridge had attacked me, yes. But they’d also offered me a place in their pack. And their Alpha was supposedly half vampire, an outcast like me. “I will meet him,” I decided. “But you’re staying with me.” “I wasn’t planning on

The First Kiss

The next week passed in a blur of preparation.Kade and Ryker trained me in Alpha politics: how to read power dynamics, when to show strength versus diplomacy, how to navigate the treacherous waters of pack hierarchies. Elder Margaret coached me on etiquette and protocol. Even Nina got involved, teaching me about different pack cultures and their customs.“You need to understand,” Margaret said during one session, “that you walking into that summit changes everything. A Celestial Wolf hasn’t appeared in a thousand years. Every Alpha there will be recalculating their strategies.”“No pressure,” I muttered.She laughed. “You’ll do fine. You have Kade beside you, and that alone speaks volumes. Blackthorn alliance is worth more than most packs’ entire territories.”Through it all, Kade was a constant presence. We trained together every morning, strategized every afternoon, and spent our eveni

The Northern Alpha Summit

The summit hall was built to intimidate.Massive stone structure, soaring ceilings, windows that let in harsh northern light. At the center sat a circular table large enough to seat fifty Alphas, each position marked with their pack’s symbol.I walked in beside Kade, my hand in his, and every conversation stopped.Dozens of Alphas turned to stare. I could feel their wolves assessing mine, testing, measuring. The weight of their combined power pressed against me like a physical force.But I was a Celestial Wolf. And I didn’t bow to anyone.I lifted my chin and met their stares head-on, letting my own power rise to meet theirs. Silver light flickered at the edges of my vision as my wolf surged forward, making her presence known.Several Alphas actually stepped back.“That’s my girl,” Kade murmured, pride in his voice.We moved to the Blackthorn position at the table. Dominic caught my eye from across the room a

Coming Home

One week after the summit, I stood in the Blackthorn Pack training grounds, facing off against Ryker, Marcus, and three other top warriors. All at once. “Ready?” Ryker called, grinning like this was the best day of his life. I dropped into a fighting stance, my wolf rising eagerly to the surface. “Bring it.” They came at me as a coordinated unit, and the fight was glorious. I moved like water, flowing between their attacks, using their strength against them, striking with precision and speed. My training with Elena, combined with my Celestial Wolf abilities, made me nearly untouchable. Within five minutes, all five warriors were on the ground, panting and laughing. “She’s a monster,” Marcus groaned, rubbing his ribs where I’d landed a particularly solid hit. “She’s amazing,” Ryker corrected, accepting my hand to pull himself up. “Kade’s going to have his hands full with this one.” “Kade already has his hands full,” the man himself said, walking onto the training grounds with a
