After Rowan left, I became even more attentive to Raymond. The mating ceremony could be simple if it had to be, but nothing could go wrong with Raymond’s leg.

Thankfully, Prince Vance wasn’t overly particular. He let me handle many of the arrangements as I saw fit and worked fully with my schedule.

While preparing for the mating ceremony, I also reserved the most comfortable seats for my teachers and classmates and made sure their favorite wine and fruit would be ready for them. All that was left was to wait for them to arrive.

The only problem was Nita, who kept muttering in the back of my mind.

“By the Moon Goddess, once the mating ceremony is over, we’ve got to find a way to break his curse as soon as possible. This is way too dangerous. Just look at that face, that body, those pheromones. They’re as rich as aged honey wine. What she–wolf could possibly résist him?”

“I can,” I said inwardly, rolling my eyes. “Believe me, I’m here to cooperate, not to moon over him.”

“Oh, please, Laila.” Nita’s voice shot up an octave. “Don’t even try that with me. The way you look at him now, honestly, it’s like a starving wolf staring at a slab of meat. You seriously haven’t noticed?”

“Do I?” I touched my face without thinking. “No, I don’t. You’re definitely seeing things.”

“I’m seeing things?” Nita sneered. “We share the same pair of eyes. What I see is what you see. Are you really going to tell me you weren’t staring at his face like an idiot yesterday?”

“I was… observing his fur. Midnight–sky blue is a rare coat color. What’s wrong with studying it a little?”

“Studying it until you started swallowing?”

“I didn’t swallow!”

“You did. I heard it. We share one throat, remember?”

I decided to ignore her. My marriage to Prince Vance was a mutually beneficial arrangement. He needed a Luna to help conceal the truth about his curse, and I could use the marriage to avoid King Vaughn. Everything between us was perfectly clear. I was not lusting after his body.

Not at all.

At most… at most, I occasionally thought his eyes were very beautiful. And his fur too. Under the moonlight, that blue shimmered so brightly. It probably felt incredible…

Wait. What was I thinking?

“See?” Nita let out a triumphant howl in my head. “And you still say you don’t want him. You were just imagining what he’d feel like to touch!”

“I wasn’t.”

“You were. We share one brain.”

“Moon Goddess, please take this chatterbox away.”

Between all the commotion and nonstop bickering, time slipped by before I realized it. There were only five days left until my mating ceremony with Prince Vance. And yet not a single one of my teachers or friends had arrived at Silvermoon Pack.

Were they planning to show up at the last possible moment? But judging from the sky, it looked like a heavy snowstorm was coming. What if they got delayed?

I looked at the darkening sky, my heart full of both anticipation and unease. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to control my emotions when I finally saw my teacher and my upperclassmen again. But I missed them so, so much. It had been such a long time.

When my life had been miserable, I hadn’t wanted to go back, and I hadn’t wanted them to worry about me either. But now I had Raymond by my side, and although Prince Vance loved someone else in his heart, I believed we could at least live together with mutual respect. That kind of life was already far, far better than what I’d had before.

Back then, everything in front of me had felt like pitch–black darkness. I couldn’t see a future. It was as if a wall stood in my way. But now, I felt as though light was beginning to shine through the cracks.

That night, a heavy snow really did begin to fall. As I watched the flakes drifting down one by one, worry drove me to find Shane.

“Shane, do you have any news from Mr. Westmark? When are they supposed to arrive?”
