“I can hardly believe how breathtaking Alpha Kael looks in his human form,” Beth exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “This morning, while I was on guard duty, I caught a fleeting glimpse of him being escorted to his quarters. He’s like something straight out of a fairy tale, I swear!”

“Ivory must be over the moon,” Lucia chimed in, her voice warm with admiration. “After all those years of searching, all the effort she put in, she finally succeeded. That must feel absolutely incredible for her.”

“Do you think—” Emma’s voice dropped to a conspiratorial whisper, though not low enough to escape my ears. “Do you think she wishes it was her bonding with him tonight instead of Luna Aria?”

“Emma!” Sarah interjected sharply, her tone filled with disapproval. “That’s completely inappropriate speculation.”

“I’m just voicing what everyone is thinking,” Emma retorted, her cheeks flushing. “They’ve been close since they were kids. She’s done so much for him, and let’s be honest, she’s stunning and talented and—”

“And Kael sees her as a sister,” Claire interrupted, her voice steady and firm. “He’s made that clear multiple times. There’s never been anything romantic between them, and there won’t be.”

“That doesn’t mean she doesn’t wish there was,” Beth countered, her brow furrowing in thought. “I’ve noticed the way she looks at him sometimes. It’s like—like there’s something deeper there, at least on her end.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter what Ivory wants,” Sarah stated with finality, her expression resolute. “Alpha Kael has chosen Luna Aria. They’re bonding tonight, and that’s all there is to it.”

“I’m just relieved we’re finally getting a Luna,” Lucia said, seemingly eager to shift the conversation. “The pack has needed proper leadership for far too long. Whether it’s Aria, Ivory, or anyone else, we need someone strong in that position.”

“Aria’s nice,” Emma offered, her voice softening. “She was so sweet when she helped with the children last week. And let’s not forget, she saved Alpha Kael’s life.”

“Once,” Beth reminded her, a smirk playing on her lips. “Ivory’s been saving him for three years.”
