Just because his childhood sweetheart Isabella wanted to see the first snow from Snowpeak Mountain. This was the ninety-ninth time Kael had chosen Isabella over me. This time, I didn't argue.

Have you forgotten?" I looked across the shimmering waters of Moon Bay and smiled. "I didn't forget." "My Marking Ceremony..." "...is about to begin too." But with someone else.
