One Time Too Many
There was only one week left until my marking ceremony with Alpha Mason Wright.
And this time, he was asking to postpone it yet again, all because his puphood sweetheart, Eira Padmore, the she-wolf who once saved his life, had another episode.
She was in tears, begging to go to Bhador to see the snow, just like every time before, claiming she wouldn't be able to breathe otherwise.
The ceremony had already been pushed back three times. All the wolves of the north had been waiting for us to complete it.
But I was done waiting, and so was the pup growing inside me.
If Mason refused to mark me, then I'd walk away and build my own future.
But what I couldn't understand was... Why was it that the moment I left, Mason went mad searching for me, and suddenly insisted on marking me after all?
