Grandpa hadn’t even finished speaking when I quickly interrupted. But he didn’t back down; his eyes turned serious.
“Amanda, don’t interrupt me. You’re a pureblood Alpha of the Glacier Pack. By tradition, you should’ve already chosen your mate. An Alpha’s wolf spirit needs a mate’s energy bond to stay fully stable. If you keep delaying, will Alice be affected?”
“Grandpa, don’t worry.” I smiled to calm him. “While staying with the Eclipse Pack, Alice has become a lot
more stable.”
“Really?” His eyes lit up. Grandma leaned closer, her face full of hope.
“Yeah.” I nodded. Images flashed through my mind: Emily’s nonstop chatter, Jennifer’s gentle reminders, and that reckless kiss from Ziecson.
“I used to think only a mate’s bond could stabilize a wolf spirit,” I said softly. “But lately, I’ve realized friendship can bring strength too. I met great friends at school. With them by my side, I feel grounded, and Alice’s energy has become much steadier.”
That was only half true. Friendship did help, but what truly calmed Alice was that accidental skinship with
Samson.
Alice snorted inside my head, “Please, give credit where it’s due! That kiss between two Alphas created a short-term bond. That’s what really stabilized me.”
My face heated up. I quickly shoved the memory away-the warmth of his lips, the scent of pine, the way our Alpha energies collided and blended. After that night, Alice really did settle down. Even when my claustrophobia kicked in inside the elevator, she managed to keep my wolf spirit under control ‘so no one found out who I was.
But that was something I could never tell Grandpa and Grandma, They were already hoping I’d find a mate soon. If they knew one accidental kiss had calmed my wolf spirit, they’d probably start planning how to set me up with Samson right away.
“That’s wonderful!” Grandma grabbed my hand, her eyes glistening. “So that means there’s another way to stabilize your wolf spirit besides finding a mate? Then we don’t have to worry so much!”
Grandpa let out a relieved laugh. “Exactly. As long as you and Alice are healthy and strong, that’s all that matters. I won’t pressure you about finding a mate. Let things happen naturally.”
Warmth spread through my chest. I leaned against Grandma’s shoulder and grinned. “I knew you two loved me the most.”
Then my tone shifted. I looked at Grandpa seriously. “By the way, Grandpa, how’s the pack doing lately? Is anyone still causing trouble?”
Ever since my parents passed away, I had carried the title of future Alpha of the Glacier Pack. And ever

Some of the branch alphas thought I was too young and that an orphan was unfit to lead the pack. Their tests and challenges never stopped.
Grandpa’s gaze darkened as he patted the back of my hand. “As long as I’m still here, those people can’t stir up much trouble,” he said firmly. “You just focus on what you need to do. I’ll keep an eye on the pack.”
He paused, then added, “When your wolf spirit was unstable, we told everyone you went to Eastveil for a year-long exchange. That excuse bought us some time. They’ll gossip behind your back, but they won’t dare act openly.”
