I assumed we wouldn’t see each other for the next few days. But the very next morning at 7 a.m., while the mist still hadn’t cleared, he was already sitting in Silvermoon Pack’s reception hall.

“Laila, the Moon Goddess priestess hadn’t woken up yet, but I knocked on the sanctum doors anyway.”

He lowered his gaze and opened a palm–sized box in his hand.

Inside lay three uncut moonstones-

In the morning light, they should have been dull and lifeless.

Instead, they glowed with a faint, pearlescent shimmer.

“This–this…”

Tobias’s eyes went wide. Samuel had asked me to invite him over specifically for this.

He lurched forward, wolf–pupils contracting sharply.

“That color?”

“What about it?” His reaction pulled me in, too. “Is it rare?”

“Of course! These are divination stones from the Moon Goddess Sanctum itself!”

Tobias’s voice cracked with excitement, two old, undying wolffires flickering in his eyes.

“In wolf tradition–a divination stone shatters on contact for those with no bond!

“For a cursed bond–it glows red as blood amber!

“For a mismatched bond–it burns through the night, only to crumble to dust before dawn!”

He rattled it all off in one breath, chest heaving, then drew a deep inhale and dropped his voice to a slow, deliberate cadence.

“Only a true bond blessed by the Moon Goddess-

“Will glow for each other like starlight in the polar night.”

I went still.

Samuel lifted his eyes to mine.

“Laila Conlay”

His voice was very soft–as if afraid of startling something.

“We share a true bond, witnessed by the Moon Goddess.”

My heart slammed against my ribs.

I dropped my gaze into the little wooden box.

Three moonstones lay quietly on dark velvet, radiating a soft, undying silver–blue glow.

Like the winter sky at the far north.

Like the brightest star a pack lifts its throats to on a snowy plain.

A true bond witnessed by the Moon Goddess.

Before I could even settle that sentence inside my chest, Samuel’s voice fell again.

“Laila.”

He paused.

“Shall we hold the mating ceremony on the winter solstice?

“It’s the longest night of the year–the Moon Goddess will linger at the top of the sky the longest.

“The snow–covered fields will mark our path.

“Every pack in the Rydar Kingdom will hear the oath between Silvermoon and Frostwind.”

He looked at me.

In his eyes was something uncontainable–the absolute certainty of a young wolf clamping down on the nape of its

of its prey.

He’d already decided.

This wasn’t a discussion. He was simply informing me.

And yet, I didn’t feel offended.

“…The winter solstice.” I turned the word over in my mouth and nodded.

His eyes lit up.

“Good!”

He stood. “I’ll head to Moonlight Academy right now to inform Mr. Westmark.

“According to ancient wolf custom, before forming a mate bond, an Alpha must personally visit his mate’s mentor and present wolf bone and an oath.
