Luna Rising

The sound of tires crunching over gravel carries across the packhouse drive, and I'm already halfway down the stairs before the SUV even stops."That's them."Tara practically vaults over the couch.Lizzie gasps. "Already?"Outside, the late afternoon sun spills warm gold through the trees while the car doors swing open one by one.And then—"CAT!"Jenny launches herself out of the back seat like a tiny missile.I barely have time to brace before she slams into me in a full-body hug."You live in a castle!" she announces loudly."It's not a castle.""It has towers.""...They're rooflines."Jenny completely ignores me and spins in a circle staring at the packhouse in awe."Oh my GODDESS."Behind her, Mom climbs out of the SUV smiling warmly while Dad follows carrying bags and quietly taking in the territory around him. Camden stretches like he's been trapped in the car for twelve years.And then Mike steps out last.Tall.Broad.Already grinning.He walks straight toward me and pulls m

Pre-Ceremony Chaos

The universe apparently decides I haven't suffered enough before the ceremony.Because the door bursts open without warning and my mother storms into the room like a one-woman hurricane carrying fabric, boxes, and unsolicited opinions."Cat! You're standing wrong," she announces immediately. "Lift your shoulders—no, not like that. Goddess, you look pale. Have you eaten? Maybe don't eat. Actually no, eat something light. Where's your dress? Don't tell me it's still hanging like that.""I'm fine," I say automatically while Lizzie gives me a deeply sympathetic look from the vanity and Tara bites her lip so hard she's basically vibrating with suppressed laughter.Mom ignores all of us.She circles me, tugging gently at a sleeve, smoothing my hair, then suddenly gasps dramatically."Oh! Before I forget."She straightens instantly, eyes lighting up."I brought you something."My stomach drops.She pulls out a carefully wrapped box like she's presenting some sacred family artifact."A gift,"

Into the Storm

I don't notice when my hands start shaking.Only that at some point Lizzie gently grabs my wrists and holds them steady until the tremor eases enough for me to breathe again."Okay," she says calmly, like we're about to take a math test instead of stand in front of half the supernatural political shifter world. "You are not dying. You are not being sacrificed. And nobody expects you to suddenly transform into a glowing Moon Goddess overnight."Tara snorts behind me."Speak for yourself. I absolutely expect glowing."I stare at my reflection and mutter, "I swear to Goddess, if either of you says the word destiny one more time, I'm running into the forest and never coming back."Lizzie smiles softly, like she already knows exactly how this ends."You could," she says. "But you won't."She's right.And honestly? I hate that she's right.The room buzzes with quiet urgency around me. Fabric rustles softly while jewelry clinks somewhere behind me. Outside the open windows I can hear distant

The Celebration

The cheering doesn't die immediately.It rolls across the terrace like thunder—laughter, whistles, applause. Wolves slap Aiden on the back as he carries me across the stone path like I weigh nothing, and somewhere behind us someone actually starts howling.Actual howling.I groan and hide my face against his shoulder."You are never letting me live this down," I mutter."Never," he agrees calmly.He finally sets me down near the long tables where lanterns glow between garlands of white flowers and silver ribbons. Music drifts somewhere near the river now, soft strings and low drums blending with the constant rush of water.The entire terrace feels alive.Pack members mingle with visiting wolves while Alphas and Lunas from neighboring territories stand in small groups, their scents mixing with wood smoke and river mist.Then Alpha Marcus steps forward.The crowd quiets almost instantly.Even the visiting Alphas shift their attention toward him.Aiden's father looks every inch the leade

Chosen to Stand

Of course we don't make it three steps off the dance floor before the wolves descend.Ryan appears first.Naturally.He's leaning against one of the lantern posts with the expression of a man who has just witnessed the greatest entertainment of his entire week."Well," he says slowly while taking a sip from his drink, "that was disturbingly wholesome."I narrow my eyes immediately."Go away.""Absolutely not."Hunter joins him a second later with his arms folded across his chest, looking far too entertained by my suffering."You looked like you were about to faint," he says conversationally."I was fine.""You were gripping his shirt like you were hanging off a cliff.""That was balance."Ryan snorts."Sure it was."Behind them, Tara pushes herself into the conversation like a human hurricane."Oh my Goddess," she sighs dramatically. "The tension. The longing. The slow dancing."She presses one hand against her chest."I feel emotionally manipulated.""By what?" I ask flatly."By roma

Bound in Fire

Aiden suddenly bends down and lifts me into his arms again.The pack notices immediately.Cheers explode across the terrace."WEDDING NIGHT!" someone howls.Tara whistles loudly while Ryan cups his hands around his mouth."Don't break the furniture!"I bury my face against Aiden's shoulder, laughing despite myself."Oh my Goddess, put me down.""Not happening," he murmurs.Then he turns toward the packhouse stairs, carrying me easily while wolves clap and howl behind us."Goodnight, everyone," Aiden calls over his shoulder.Even more laughter follows us all the way inside.By the time we reach the upstairs hallway, the noise has faded behind us, replaced by quiet and the soft glow of lantern light against dark wood walls.Aiden sets me down just inside the room.For a moment neither of us moves.The door clicks shut behind us.And then he's kissing me.Not the playful kiss from the dance floor.This one is slower and deeper.His hands slide to my waist and pull me closer like he's bee

Back to Normal (Sort Of)

Morning comes too early.It feels strange waking up without the weight of ceremonies, politics, and half the supernatural world staring at me.Just sunlight filtering through the windows.Just school waiting for us downstairs.Just... life again.For the first time in weeks, everything feels almost normal.Almost.Aiden walks me to the front door of the packhouse with coffee in hand, looking far too relaxed for someone who spent half the night reminding me exactly why mating ceremonies exist in the first place."You realize," he says casually, "most people take a honeymoon after getting married.""We live with fifty wolves," I reply. "Nothing about our life is normal."He smiles slowly."Fair point."Behind us the front door swings open.Ryan steps outside first.Then Lizzie.They look suspiciously happy.Tara appears behind them carrying a backpack and wearing the expression of someone who already regrets being awake.I glance toward Aiden."See?" I say. "Real life."Ryan slips an ar

The Dress Disaster

The dress shop smells like lace, perfume, and impending emotional collapse.Tara stands in the middle of the fitting room platform looking like either a queen about to be crowned or someone moments away from a public breakdown.Honestly, at this point it could go either way.The seamstress circles her slowly while studying a clipboard with growing concern.Tara watches her with immediate suspicion."Well?" she demands.The woman hesitates.Then clears her throat carefully."...You may have given us the wrong measurements."The room goes completely silent.I freeze.Lizzie blinks.Tara's eyes narrow dangerously."I did not give you the wrong measurements."The seamstress flips the page again."These dresses were prepared according to the size you submitted."She gestures weakly toward the mirror."But they... don't fit."Tara slowly looks down at herself.The dress is gorgeous.Ivory silk.Delicate embroidery.Also completely stuck halfway up her hips.The zipper refuses to move anothe

No Swans Allowed

Tara flips another page in her notebook."Next topic. Dress."Hunter freezes immediately."That word scares me now. You tried dresses yesterday, right?"Tara groans like someone personally betrayed her."Yes.""And?"She slowly lowers the notebook into her lap."It was a disaster."Ryan squints at her over his drink."How bad?"Tara gestures dramatically at herself."None of them fit."Ryan frowns."You're a shifter. You're basically built like an athlete.""Exactly," Tara says, horrified. "Which is why this makes no sense."She gestures helplessly toward her stomach."Everything was tight."I press my lips together."Tara...""I know," she groans. "I know."Hunter leans back in his chair."You're pregnant. Bodies change."Tara spins toward him instantly."That is not helpful."Ryan mutters into his drink:"I think it's extremely helpful."Tara ignores him completely and throws both hands into the air."How am I supposed to find a mating ceremony dress now?"Lizzie tilts her head gent

The Council Arrives

Morning comes too early.Not because I didn't sleep, but because my brain refused to slow down long enough for any of it to feel restful.By the time I make it downstairs, the packhouse is already awake. Someone's frying eggs in the kitchen while coffee brews nearby, and voices echo faintly through the hallways.Normal sounds.Normal life.Which somehow makes today feel even stranger.Because later this afternoon, the Shifter Council is arriving.Three Alpha representatives.Coming here to watch us, evaluate us, and decide what they think of me.I pour myself coffee and lean against the kitchen counter while staring out at the forest beyond the clearing. Morning mist still hangs between the trees while pale sunlight filters through the branches.Ryan walks in a minute later and pours himself coffee like the world isn't about to become politically exhausting."You look like someone told you math exists," he says casually.I snort."Worse."Ryan smirks immediately."The Council.""Yeah.
