Freya's expression darkened instantly.She walked toward Emily without hesitation.I grabbed her arm.She jerked her head around. Her eyes were even redder than mine."Why?"Since when does the moonstone belong to whoever sees it first?"It has always belonged to the one who picks it up."She shook off my hand and tried to charge forward again."Give Elena's moonstone back."I quickly caught her wrist once more."Freya, today is the Moon Goddess Festival. You still have to preside over the blessing ceremony."I gave her a slight shake of my head.Her chest rose and fell as she glared at Emily in the distance.Emily clutched the moonstone tightly against her chest as if someone might snatch it away at any moment. She was practically hiding behind Adrian.Freya clenched her jaw."She did it on purpose. She's had her eye on Adrian all along."I said nothing.Adrian had already stepped calmly back into the crowd.It was as if everything that had just happened was nothing

Adrian's hand paused on the study doorknob.A few seconds later, he turned around. The gentle expression he'd been wearing finally disappeared from his face."Elena, that's enough."He rubbed his forehead. A hint of exhaustion creeped into his voice."A marking ceremony isn't something you can announce out of spite.""Next Thursday," I replied calmly."The invitations have already been prepared for the neighboring packs and will be sent out on Monday. The alliance totem for the two packs has also been designed and is already being crafted."He frowned slightly as if something had just occurred to him. He walked over and took my hand."Did someone tell you something? There's nothing going on between Emily and me. Don't listen to other people's gossip."My wolf let out an irritated growl.Deep within my consciousness, she lashed her tail heavily against the ground. It felt like she was instinctively rejecting his touch."No."I shook my head gently."Adrian, I told you befor

Adrian turned on his phone once again and scrolled aimlessly.Something wasn't right. For the past few days, his wolf had been pacing restlessly inside him and growling in frustration.He knew me well. Even when we argued, I would usually text him within a few hours.Sometimes, I'd ask where the cold medicine was or tell him one of the lights in the apartment had burned out. Those were small excuses to reach out and silent invitations to make peace.But this time, five full days had passed, and I hadn't sent him a single message."Adrian."The Alpha sitting across from him suddenly handed over his phone."Silvercrest Pack just released an announcement."Adrian looked up.Displayed on the screen was the latest post from Silvercrest Pack's official account.[Silvercrest Pack Announcement][Elena's marking ceremony will be held this week.]There was a photo attached.In it, I stood before Silvercrest Pack's totem and was dressed in a flowing silver gown. Sunlight filtered thr

"What do you mean, sold?"Adrian frowned.The Alpha on the other end sounded just as bewildered."I mean the apartment you and Elena used to live in. I'm standing outside right now. The new owners moved in yesterday. They've already had the house purified by a healer. There's not a trace of either of your scents left."After a pause, he asked, "Adrian, are you sure you've got the right place? Could the secret base Elena mentioned be somewhere else?"Adrian froze.Deep down, his wolf sprang to its feet and paced frantically as low growls rumbled from his throat. It was desperately searching for something.We had chosen that apartment together.The floor-to-ceiling window in the living room had been my favorite thing. I'd said we could sit on the rug together and watch the full moon every month.I had planted the moonflowers on the balcony myself.Even the study had gone through more than a dozen design drafts before I was finally satisfied.I'd once hugged his arm and laughed

By the time Adrian arrived at the Moon Goddess Altar, it was nearly noon.The altar sat nestled in the mountains.From a distance, silver banners bearing the Moon Goddess' crest fluttered in the wind.Towering wolf statues carved from white moonstone stood on either side of the entrance.At the entrance, a massive moonstone monument displayed the marking ceremony's official crest.A white wolf and a black wolf leaned against each other. Below them were the familiar initials.[SC × BW]Finally, the tension in Adrian's body eased.That's right. This was the place.Without slowing down, he walked toward the altar. He ignored the werewolf ushers approaching him. He didn't even notice the strange, conflicted expressions on the faces of the guests watching him pass.The altar had already been fully prepared.Moonflowers bloomed along every white stone step. Silver moonstones bathed the altar in a soft glow. The faint fragrance of burned blessing herbs lingered in the air.Every d
