In the middle of the night, while I was fast asleep, Damon’s hushed, hurried voice woke me."You fell? How bad is it?"Don't cry. It's just a moonstone necklace. It doesn't matter if it's lost, as long as you're okay."Just stay right there by the hot spring. Don't move. I'm on my way."Damon was standing out on the balcony, his voice thick with anxiety.Within a few minutes, the bedroom door was pushed open.He froze for a second when he saw my eyes open, but then quickly walked over to the edge of the bed. Reaching out to touch my cheek, he asked softly, "Did I wake you?"I tilted my head away, avoiding his touch as I sat up, watching him in silence.Damon’s hand hung awkwardly in mid-air before he pulled it back, looking uncomfortable. "Elena accidentally lost the moonstone necklace. She's terrified and can't stop crying. I'm really worried, so I need to head over and check on her."As he spoke, he was already swiftly changing into his clothes.I watched him adjust his col

Early the next morning, Damon left to handle pack business.Before heading out the door, he leaned down and pressed a light kiss onto my forehead. "I'll be back to pick you up at six. And wear that pure white dress—it looks good on you."The moment the door clicked shut, I turned and walked straight into the walk-in closet.That white dress, in the style Elena loved, hung in the most prominent spot. I didn't even glance at it. Instead, I put on a sleek black suit, the very outfit I used to wear before I ever met Damon.I turned around and took one final look at the house.I had filled this place up piece by piece over the years. The soft cushions on the bed were hand-sewn by me. The potted wild plants on the windowsill were brought back from my countless trips into the mountains. I had crafted the handmade clay dishes on the dining table down by the creek.Though they were still where I left them, every trace of me would soon fade as if I had never existed.Walking into the kitc

One year later.The grounds were packed with members from every neighboring pack coming together to trade supplies.Over the past year, I had spent all my time studying under the Elders, slowly making a name for myself as a skilled healer within the Northern Pack. Today, I had come to the market specifically to search for a rare herb.After winding through the crowded stalls a few times, I finally found what I was looking for.Keal stood right beside me, his eyes shining with pride and admiration. "Aria, you're an absolute prodigy. You've been studying for only a single year, and you've already surpassed the Elders.""Thanks," I said with a light chuckle, reaching up to brush a light dusting of snow off his shoulder."I see some people I know over there, so I'm going to go say hi," Keal said.I nodded, watching him walk away. But the moment I turned around, my eyes slammed right into a pair of bloodshot eyes.A loud burst of fireworks detonated in the distant sky, scaring a nea

Half a month later, a heavy snow blanketed the North.It was the night of the full moon. The windows were wiped sparkling clean, reflecting a soft, pure white glow under the snow light. Along the mountain paths, pack members held lanterns high, placing them down one by one until they formed a flowing river of starlight leading up the peak.No one had pushed me into this. It was three nights ago when I turned to Keal and whispered, "Let's hold our mating ceremony."That night, he stared into my eyes for a long time before asking softly, "Are you sure?""I'm sure." I nodded."Is it because of him?""Of course not." I smiled. "It's because of you."He didn't say another word, though his ears flushed a brilliant red.Now, I was dressed in a bridal gown hand-sewn by the pack elders overnight, its wide sleeves delicately embroidered with intricate crescent moon patterns.Holding my hands, Elder Martin Connors' eyes glistened with tears. "My girl," he said softly. "The North has wait

On the day the snow finally stopped, the Northern Pack lit a massive bonfire on the mountainside to celebrate everyone's safe return.Bright flames danced, illuminating cold-flushed faces, and the crisp winter air was thick with the mouthwatering aroma of roasted meat and warm mead.Elder Martin stood up in the center of the crowd. In his hands, he held a delicate medicinal pouch embroidered with a subtle crescent moon pattern—the revered emblem of a master healer of the North."Aria." His voice boomed warmly across the clearing. "From this day forward, you are the Healer of the Northern Pack, and our Luna."The entire clearing erupted into roaring cheers and applause.Nobody asked if my wolf bloodline was pure or questioned whether I was worthy.Holding that medicinal pouch close to my chest, tears welled up in my eyes. For so many years, I had desperately bled and bruised myself trying to prove I was worthy of a spot by someone's side. Only now did I realize that in the right p
