As soon as the final bell rang, Emily grabbed my arm and skipped toward the school gate. “Amanda, I’m gonna miss you so much! I wish we lived together-then we could eat, sleep, and do homework side by side all the time!” I smiled and ruffled her fluffy hair. The sunlight hit her face, making even her lashes glow. “I’ll come over to your place sometime,” I said.
“Yay, really?!” Her eyes lit up like stars as she shook my hand excitedly. “You promise? No backing out!”
Alice sighed inside me. “Spending time with this little girl really calms the wolf spirit. More effective than any calming tonic back in the Glacier Pack,” she murmured.
I didn’t respond, just nodded with a smile.
Watching Emily bounce off toward her mom made something warm flicker in my chest. Back in the Glacier Pack, it was always missions and training. No one ever talked to me like this, all chirpy and sincere. And definitely no one got this excited over a simple “visit.”
I turned and walked toward Derrick’s car. He’d already rolled the window down, looking his usual quiet self. “Grandpa’s got a dinner thing tonight. Told me to bring you along,” he said plainly.
“Okay, let’s go,” I said, pulling open the door and getting in. I didn’t ask for more, anything Hugh arranged was never just a casual get-together.
The car stopped in front of the Eclipse Pack’s private banquet hall. When I pushed the door open, the private room was already packed. Samson leaned back in his chair, spinning a glass of water between his fingers. Alan and Josh were huddled together, whispering. Even Patrick, who rarely showed up, sat in the corner flipping through a map of the pack’s territory.
“Amanda! Over here, sit by me.” Hugh waved me over the moment he saw me, then pulled out the chair next to him. With a wide smile to the room, he said, “Everyone, let me officially introduce you, this is Amanda Lamb. She’ll be our future Luna of the Eclipse Pack.”
“Luna?” Josh was the first to jump to his feet, his eyes wide like saucers. “Grandpa, this … this is way too sudden!”
I froze for a second too, my fingertips tensing up. Luna-that was the female head of the pack. She oversaw the women, managed internal resources … and Hugh had just thrown it out there like it was nothing. No concern for the fact that I didn’t even have a wolf spirit. Not to mention, I was still wearing the ugly disguise.
Alice muttered in my head, “This old man really trusts you, huh? Saying it out loud like that and doesn’t even care if the others push back.”
Just then, the Eclipse Pack’s legal elder stepped forward and handed over a document embossed in gold. Hugh slid it across the table to me.
“Amanda, I know you’re not the type to care about titles, but the Eclipse Pack’s future has to be passed on eventually. This document grants you 30 percent control over the core territory, and full authority over

annual troop deployments. From now on, these are yours to manage, regardless of which boy you end up with. This is the power I’m giving you to stand on your own,” he said, his voice steady.
“Grandpa!” Alan stood up instantly, his voice tense. “Don’t you think this is a little reckless? The elders haven’t even approved Amanda as Luna yet. And besides, she …
