They all arrived with gifts: rare furs, sealed chests of coin, a ceremonial blade from the Eastern Ridge, its hilt wrapped in silver-threaded leather and others even brought gold and iron for weapon crafting. Courtesy. Always courtesy, when fear wore perfume. “Alpha Brynn,” said Lord Kaelen of the Ashmar Pack, inclining his head with a diplomat’s grace. “Our gratitude for receiving us on such short notice,” he looked at me and then at Frynn, maybe not sure which one of us is which, then I saw realization in his eyes as he remembered that I always sit on the right. I returned the gesture, “Fiato honors its allies.” The word allies tasted different now.

You can't get the betrothal dropped and still hoard his gifts like some petty thief. I stared her down. Perfect match for Samzor. "It's not like I refused to return anything. Gifts aren't loans. I gave just as much back. So who's calling it theft?" Her smile wobbled, then snapped back like elastic. "Oh, you CLAIM you gave just as much back? Cool. Show the proof." I swallowed the urge to gag. Not worth it. Gifts between promised wolves aren't receipts—they're private. Sacred. Who the hell keeps score like a bargain-bin trader?

"You don't need to ask for an explanation Kira. I'd explain regardless so you don't feel uneasy and uncomfortable being with me." "The gifts are of two significant purposes, one for congratulatory reasons and the other as an apology for my Fathers absence" He sighed and I inwardly giggled "Oh, that's why." I muttered eyeing the heap of neatly packed gifts 'Imagine just finding our mate and having to deal with the fact that he's about to get married to someone else.'

Zelena. Gunner wasn’t wrong about the diplomats. The first visiting ambassador came right over to our table, shadowed by four other Weres. “Hello Alpha, my Goddess” the man smiled and bowed his head with his hand over his heart, then stood up again and spoke with his arms out by his side. “I am Gregor, Beta wolf of the New Moon pack. On behalf of my Alpha, may I say, we are truly honoured to hold an alliance with the pack of the Triple Goddess. I give my word that if you call, we will answer”.

May your worldly love multiply like the salt water of the seas that Njord commands.” Annette stepped forward. “I present to you, barley. May you never hunger for knowledge, wisdom, or prosperity.” She placed the barley bag at Adara’s feet. Rosie stepped forward. “I present to you, pennies, so that your wealth may multiply.” She placed the pennies at Adara’s feet.

“Then you shouldn’t have broken it…so how do you intend to make things up to them?” His hands left my shoulder as he grinned. “Guess?” “You know that I am bad with guesses right?” Alexandro exhaled sharply. “Okay, I bought countless gifts that are currently in your bakery shop. The presents meant for the kids have their names attached on them, so there wouldn’t be any mix up” I raised an eyebrow, the corners of my lips twitching into a smile. “Gifts? What type of gift?…” “Something they would love, and the gifts aren’t for you, so you don’t need to ask me anything, Freya”

Understanding I wouldn't get anything from her, I began to unbox some of the gifts and I wondered if these people had laid them down in advance or had gone to buy all these things the minute the trial had ended. All these just because they thought I was his mate. This sort of deception was bigger than I could handle. If they'd been hostile towards me, it would have been different. I doubt they'd ever forgive me for this betrayal. Some gifts I was grateful for, some I didn't know their use for until Gwen explained. “These are fertility supplements.” I choked, “Fertility what?” “You know, to aid you in conceiving.” “I'm guessing this is a welcome gift. But isn't it too soon? The King and I bar

Liam stopped and turned towards Charlotte to face her. “I am waiting!” “For what?” Charlotte’s lips stretched in a tight smile, her eyes were shooting burning daggers into space. “Just wait and watch!” … Sitting in the attic, Jason was opening different shopping bags given by a junior warrior. “It’s from Gamma Mathew.” Shirts, jeans, dress pants, cuff links, perfumes, and rest of men’s items were of limited edition, quite expensive too. Jason was staring at them wide-eyed. “Why?” The answer to the question was also packed in a gift box. He opened it and gasped at the Gucci watch.

She brought three gifts with her. The sweet aroma of tea filled the private lounge. There was a hint of sorrow on her face, compared to the past. She said, “These are gifts from Anders, Anderson, and I! Also, Dad prepared a gift for you as well! I know you’re disappointed with the family, but you can’t turn down these gifts.” All three of them were expensive. True enough, they were all thoughtful gifts. Archibald’s gift was a jade bracelet. It was made of imperial green jade, too, which made it extremely valuable.
