When I remained silent for too long, Ryan Blackwood urged me on."Serena, you're twenty-one now.""With your abilities and reputation, an ordinary pack being willing to take you as a mate is already them doing it for the sake of the Hawthorne family.""Just pick someone and stop wasting everyone's time."I bit my lip, humiliated, a dull ache spreading through my chest.In werewolf society, every wolf is required to undergo an ability assessment upon reaching adulthood.And the Royal Talent Selection is the most coveted opportunity for young wolves across the entire North.Those who rank near the top not only become eligible for recruitment by the most prestigious packs,if their mental power, bloodline, and mate compatibility all meet the highest standards,they can also be placed on Alpha King's list of potential Luna Queens.At last month's Royal Talent Selection, I stopped hiding my abilities.My name was printed clearly on the official assessment report.Serena Hawthorne.Ranked No

In the end, Mom took a moonstone bracelet from the jewelry box."This was left by your grandmother.""She said it was meant as a coming-of-age gift for both of her granddaughters."She fastened it around Celeste's wrist, then stepped back with a smile, admiring her."It looks so much better on Celeste."Celeste turned this way and that in front of the full-length mirror, her face lighting up."Thank you, Mom!"Grandma had left behind a pair of matching moonstone bracelets.One belonged to Celeste.The other was supposed to be mine.I looked up, quietly waiting for Mom to say what she had planned for my bracelet.But even after dinner,she never mentioned it.In the end, Celeste was the one who asked."Mom, what about my sister's bracelet?"Mom seemed to remember it only then. She waved her hand dismissively."I was thinking of giving the other one to you, too.""As for Serena, I'll get her something else later."Celeste touched the bracelet and said softly,"Mom, shouldn't the other on

That voice exploded through the underground training room like thunder.Everyone whipped around.In the backlight stood more than a dozen members of the Royal Guard, all dressed in black uniforms.At the front stood a tall, broad-shouldered man.His black suit was perfectly tailored, his posture straight and commanding.His sharp features were completely emotionless.Those golden wolf eyes swept coldly across the entire room.He was the most powerful Alpha in the entire werewolf world, Alpha King Ronan.Behind him, the commander of the Royal Guard stood holding a black folder, his expression grim.The silver whip slipped from Mom's hand and clattered onto the floor.She froze."Al—Alpha King?"Ronan ignored everyone else.He walked straight toward me.His eyes fell on the silver burns around my wrists and the blood seeping from the wounds.His brow tightened almost imperceptibly.The next second, he removed his black jacket and draped it over my shoulders without a word.Then he turne

"I'm going to the Royal Estate."Celeste shot to her feet, resentment flashing in her eyes."I want to see for myself what she's really up to."Ryan frowned."Have you lost your mind? You can't just walk into the Royal Estate whenever you feel like it.""I'm her sister!"Celeste gritted her teeth."She just became the future Luna Queen. What's wrong with me coming to visit my own sister?""I want to see exactly how Serena thinks she can establish herself in the Royal House."The day Celeste arrived at the Royal Estate, I was in a conference room at the Royal Talent Center, discussing the next phase of the training program with several young werewolves who had recently passed the selection process.Most of them came from ordinary Packs.A few were even from minor branches of elite Packs.None of them had powerful family connections.But every one of them had exceptional assessment results.They stood around the conference table, confident and focused as they discussed the training progr

Five years passed.Over those five years, the werewolf society of the North changed more than anyone had expected.The women's education initiative I had pushed for had now expanded to most of the packs across the North.More and more young women were entering universities and receiving professional training.They could enroll in advanced mental-power programs, apply to combat academies, and pursue positions within the administrative systems of major packs.For the first time, women were also beginning to take seats on the Pack Council.Maya, who had worked alongside me during the early days of the reforms, had since become one of the youngest investigators on the Northern Council.She was known for being tough, impartial, and completely unwilling to play favorites.Even the old-school Alphas who hated the reforms had learned to watch their step around her.That evening was the North's annual Fall Charity Gala.Alphas, CEOs, and young heirs from the region's most powerful packs had gat
