By Shadowlight Lake
Without planning to, I found myself painting a lake scene, moonlight reflecting on dark water, surrounded by shadowy trees.
"Shadowlight," Odette observed, glancing at my canvas. "You captured it beautifully."
I hadn't consciously intended to paint the sacred lake, but now that she mentioned it, the resemblance was unmistakable. "It's a special place," I said quietly.
"It is," she agreed. "Though I think it's become more special recently for reasons that have nothing to do with Royal Pack history."
I couldn't argue with that. Shadowlight Lake would forever be intertwined with the memory of Carson's kiss, of the moment our wolves had finally acknowledged what they'd known all along.
