I woke up the next morning feeling strangely rested.For several seconds, I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me, trying to remember where I was.Then it came back. I was Icefall, in Edwin’s pack.A small smile touched my lips that It surprised me.For the first time in what felt like forever, I hadn’t woken up thinking about Kael.I hadn’t wondered whether he regretted letting me go, I hadn’t imagined him standing at the borders, waiting for me.I had simply slept. Maybe healing really had begun.A knock sounded at my door.“Come in.”The door opened, and Agatha entered with a tray.“Good morning.”“Good morning.” I replied and watched as she placed the tray on the table.“You look different today.” She smiled.I raised an eyebrow. “Different?”“Happier.” She grinned.I looked away. “Maybe I am.”She smiled. “I think Icefall suits you.”Before I could answer, another knock sounded. This time, Edwin entered.He was dressed formally, wearing a black jacket that made him look every

I woke up the next morning thinking about Clara.Her letter was still on the table beside my bed, carefully folded exactly as I had left it.I reached for it and ran my fingers over the paper.“Please don’t reply.”Those words hurt more than anything else she’d written.Not because I was angry with her but because they reminded me that Moonridge was no longer a place where I could freely reach for the people I loved.I missed Clara, I missed the familiarity of Moonridge, and I missed the gardens I’d spent hours tending to, the kitchen where I used to sneak food for the younger servants, and even the quiet walks I’d taken around the packhouse.But when I thought about returning, my chest tightened.I couldn’t, not anymore.I’d spent two years trying to convince myself that being Kael’s mate was enough.I’d accepted a breeder, I’d accepted sharing my husband, I’d accepted being pushed aside, and I’d even accepted Lily humiliating me in my own home.And for what? To remain someone else’s

By the time Agatha and I returned to the packhouse, I was still smiling.I just couldn’t help it.The image of Edwin standing in his study window, looking as though he wanted to personally chase every warrior away from me, kept replaying in my mind.Agatha noticed. “You’re still thinking about it.”“I am not.” I said shyly.“You are.” She chuckled.I laughed. “Perhaps a little.”She shook her head and disappeared toward the servants’ quarters, leaving me alone in the hallway.I had barely taken a few steps when I heard footsteps behind me.“Elara.”I stopped. I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. It was Edwin.I slowly turned. He was walking toward me, his expression unreadable.“Alpha.” I bowed slowly.His eyes narrowed slightly. “You seemed to be enjoying yourself.”I raised an eyebrow. “I was.”“With the warriors.” He frowned.I almost smiled. “With the warriors of course.”He stopped a few feet away from me.“How long were you planning to stay there?”I stared at him.

I barely touched my breakfast the following morning.The words from last night kept replaying in my mind.“I’d gladly go to war for Elara.”I had heard them clearly but there was no misunderstanding them and yet, I couldn’t understand why.Why would Edwin risk his pack’s peace because of me?I wasn’t his Luna, and I wasn’t even certain what I was to him.My wolf had called him my mate more than once, but I had spent too long being bound to Kael to simply accept another bond without understanding it first.Still, the thought of Icefall going to war because Alpha Evans had insulted me made my stomach twist.As I walked through the packhouse later that morning, I noticed warriors moving around with unusual urgency.Weapons were being checked, swords were being sharpened, and several guards were being stationed around the outer walls.The atmosphere had suddenly changed completely.Wolfbane wasn’t simply making threats, they were secretly preparing.I stopped one of the warriors.“What’s

Night had settled over Icefall, but sleep seemed impossible.The packhouse was still awake.Servants moved quietly through the corridors, carrying blankets and medicine. Warriors came and went from the courtyard, their footsteps heavy against the stone floor.Everywhere I looked, there were reminders that war was coming.I sat at a long table in the main hall, checking the lists Agatha and I had prepared earlier.Families with young pups, elderly wolves, available beds, food supplies, medicine, and everything needed to keep the pack functioning if the warriors left.I rubbed my tired eyes. I had been doing this for hours.“You’re still working.” Said a familiar voice.I looked up and Edwin stood at the entrance.He had changed into dark clothes, and his hair was slightly damp, as though he’d just returned from the training grounds.“You’re still working too,” I replied.“I have an excuse.” He yawned sleepily.“And what is that?” I raised a brow.“I’m the Alpha.”I smiled. “Then I supp
