After a commotion filled with low growls and the rustling of fur, it seemed Priscilla had taken her seat.
Then, the Warscar Training Camp requested another stone throne be brought in for Irene and Klein to sit and
receive Adelaide and Lance's “tributes.”
Traditionally, Adelaide should have bid farewell to her ancestral spirits under the moonlight in her birth pack
before joining her mate's territory.
How could Lance show reverence to her mentor in his own Blackthorn Pack?
This defied werewolf tradition.
Klein's deep, authoritative voice boomed like a wolf king's growl, “In the nof the Moon Goddess and
bloodline, | am Lance’s mentor, guiding him to harness power. Why shouldn't Laccept his tribute?”
Who cared about archaic traditions?
In the wild, power was law, and the strong made the rules.
Klein's logic was unassailable. As Lance’s mentor, he sat on the stone throne symbolizing power, representing
the source of Lance's strength-a rightful and legitimate place.
Side by side, they stood before the blazing wolf smoke and towering totem pole.
A sense of familiarity washed over Adelaide. Almost instinctively, she turned toward the silver moon, quietly
prompting Lance, “We need to face the moonlight.”
Lance smoothly turned, his voice calm yet undeniably commanding: “Follow the Moon Goddess’s lead.”
Adelaide immediately fell silent, realizing her’slip.
He was a formidable Alpha warrior, favored by royalty, and his mating partner was a she-wolf who'd once had a
mate-undoubtedly a sacrifice.
Better not to dwell on past rituals.
Adelaide was guided toward the chamber reserved for mating pairs.
The journey in darkness felt interminably long, the ground uneven, her senses filled with the scents of soil, moss,

Inside the room, Lance would help her remove her veil.
The Royal Elder chanted ancient blessings, and the Blackthorn Pack’s square erupted in a deafening chorus of
howls, the pack’s collective blessing and celebration.
She would wait in the warm room, while he ventured out to face challenges and receive well-wishes. When the
bonfire feast reached its peak, they would reappear together to accept the pack’s

Sure enough, after the Royal Elder finished his chant, Ivy reminded Lance to remove Adelaide’s veil.
Lance noticed his fingers were trembling ever so slightly.
Eye contact was immediate, both struck by mutual fascination.
Tseemed to freeze, even the crackling of pine torches fading away.
They gazed into each other's eyes, seeing the other's image clearly-a primal, overwhelming beauty beyond
expectations.
Breath instinctively held, only the wolf-like heartbeat throbbed loudly, drowning out the external winds.
Lance’s heart pounded like a war drum, quickening and deepening.
His gaze, like a wolf locking onto prey, was ardent and unwavering, fixed upon her face.
She today was unlike any he'd seen before.
Moonlight seemed to drape her in silver, softening her usual sharpness, making her appear otherworldly, like a
spirit from the depths of the Moon Goddess’s forest.
She radiated an icy glow and fatal allure, akin to a white wolf basking lazily yet dangerously in the full moon's
light.
Adelaide was equally captivated.
Before her stood Lance, more dazzling than ever.
He'd shed his usual battle-worn armor for the mating ceremony attire.
Far from diminishing his handsomeness, it accentuated his towering, pine-straight figure, brimming with raw,
potent vitality.
His aristocratic elegance remained,

He stood there, firelight dancing on his chiseled features, embodying the mortal form of the god of strength.
They locked eyes, cheeks flushed from the intense emotional collision and surging blood, neither willin to look
away first.
A strange, powerful resonance flowed between them in that silent exchange-was it soul-to-soul attraction?
Bloodline resonance?
Or the Moon Goddess'’s blessing?
