All around them were shouts of confusion and, strangely, some laughter. Ashleigh lifted her head to look. Some people ran and then quickly stopped when someone else pointed to the sky. Others already stared up into the night with expressions of joy and delight. Finally, she glanced up and saw fireworks painting the night sky. But what she had heard was, without a doubt, an explosion. She moved to sit up when she caught a movement out of the corner of her eye. A flash and then something flying through…

When Clara and Corrine spoke of a banquet in her honor, Ashleigh had expected something similar to the full moon banquet she had experienced on her first visit to Summer. Food and light chatter. More formal and organized than any celebration she had known. Which is why, when she arrived at the location of the event, she was shocked to see an outdoor venue complete with a dance floor, bar, and full dinner service. Some servers were also performers, some magicians, some dancers, and some very flexible…

Ashleigh delayed the trip back to Summer as long as possible while waiting for news from the hunting parties. She knew she wouldn’t hear back from her father’s team in the south, but the northern team did check-in before they absolutely had to return. There was a small pack of fae creatures found at the burial mound. But, according to the report, they weren’t doing anything, simply standing at the site, hovering around it. Some of the fae were severely injured but still dragged themselves around the…

Axel went back to bed immediately after his declaration, leaving Ashleigh no option for rebuttal. Corrine tried to calm her down, and Wyatt reminded her that it was Axel’s right as Alpha to put limitations on the wolves of Winter. Ashleigh struggled to get past her anger and sleep the rest of the night. However, when she finally did, she slept later than intended and could not catch Axel before he left to coordinate with Saul. All she could do was pout to her new friend. “It sucks that your brother…

Clara was able to come up with a general radius of where the burial mound should have been. She used what she could remember from the stories and the map that Ashleigh had brought. Ashleigh herself offered a few clues just from the story her father had shared. They made their way through the trees: it was a half-day hike from where they had parked the truck, but Clara was sure they were on the right path. “So, what drew your interest to the fae?” Ashleigh asked. “I’m not really sure,” Clara…

“Wow…” Clara said as she stepped out of the car. Listening to the crunching of the snow under her boots. Watching her breath appear in the air before her. She giggled and danced around like a small child. Ashleigh sat in the car, watching her with a smile and the phone to her ear. “Are you still there?” Caleb’s voice called her attention back to the phone. “Yea, sorry. Just watching Clara try to catch a snowflake on her tongue when there is no snowfall,” Ashleigh laughed. Caleb…

Bell and Galen spoke on the phone every night and most mornings. A few minutes, a few hours. It didn’t matter so long as they could connect each day for at least a little while. It had only been a few weeks since they had started their relationship. Still, Bell was already seeing the effects of this new happiness she was feeling. Her nightmares were getting fewer, and even when she had them, they didn’t overwhelm her like they used to. Though she had only done it once, knowing that she could call…

Over the next several days, it was hard to have even a moment alone with Caleb. He had meeting after meeting and then physical therapies and councils. Ashleigh spent her time exploring the central hub of Summer. She spent the first couple of days at the school. Renee had been one of the teachers for the youngest pups in the North. Ashleigh had spent many hours helping her with games and crafts. So, she thought she might be able to bring something small to these Summer pups. She was surprised by how well…

Ashleigh and Axel had spent the last few days before she left for Summer in heated arguments. It seemed like every little thing they could argue about, they would. They didn’t agree on Caleb, and they definitely didn’t agree on Alice. After Ashleigh had heard that the ceremony in the South had been pushed back a night, she knew something was wrong. When her father and brother returned, they told her about the ‘gift’. Axel had some minor issues, some fever, and a severe headache. But nothing life…
-
By mid-afternoon, all but one of the visiting alphas had left to return home from their time in Winter. Wyatt and Axel went to the Southern Territories to continue the ceremonies. Corrine stepped into her role as leader in their absence. Caleb and Ashleigh spent the morning together, but she quickly had to leave to return to her duties with Saul. Caleb wanted to pout but immediately gave in once she reminded him that she was so busy because she was preparing to join him in Summer in just a few more…
