The sounds of the birds in the trees stirred Bell from the best night of sleep she had experienced in a very long time. No dreams, but no nightmares either. Just restful sleep. She adjusted her position ever so slightly, and Galen’s strong arm around her waist tightened. Just enough to hold her securely but not enough to make her feel restricted. She smiled and put her hand over his. Galen let out a soft grumble, nuzzling against her shoulder blade and squeezing her closer. Bell giggled. “It’s…

Ashleigh took Caleb back to the room that had been arranged for him. They had chatted about this and that, but nothing of consequence. They were both keenly aware of the potential for eyes and ears everywhere. Once they were behind closed doors, Ashleigh broke the charade. “Five months?” she asked. Caleb smiled and nodded. “I don’t remember having that conversation….” Ashleigh said, crossing her arms as though she were upset with him. “Well, I figured since you put a time limit on me for…

Once Ashleigh and Caleb had stepped away from the spotlight, the party continued with lots of drinking and music. Corrine had even arranged for a small acrobatic performance. For his part, Caleb had put on his own performance. Claiming he was worn out from all the day’s activities. Ashleigh volunteered to take him back to his room. Wyatt and Axel both recommended that Saul should take him back instead. “Saul has other places to be,” Corrine replied. She gave Saul a warm smile. “If you hurry, you…

Holden crouched down before Caleb, grinning from ear to ear. “It seems you have gotten yourself in quite the predicament,” Holden said. Caleb clenched his jaw but held his growl deep inside. He tried once more to right himself, but it was no use. “Oh, careful, you’ll hurt yourself even more if you keep trying to force it,” Holden smiled. Holden stood up. He moved behind Caleb and cleared away the chairs that blocked Caleb from flipping his chair on his own. “We met once before, you…

“Hello, Alpha Wyatt. Oh! I suppose it is just Wyatt now.” The voice of the man her father was greeting held a smile, but one that made Ashleigh uncomfortable. “You are…?” Wyatt asked. “Holden,” the man answered. “I am here in place of Alpha Gorn of Spring. He has taken ill, and our doctors simply could not allow him to travel.” “You are his Beta?” Corrine asked. “No, no, I’m afraid we lost our Beta a few years back, and Alpha Gorn has been unable to find a suitable…

After the sun had set over the snow-covered mountains of Winter and the moon rose to her place in the sky, the celebrations were on their way. With Galen in the mountains and Ashleigh getting ready for the event, Caleb was left in the care of another wolf of Winter. Luckily, he had not insisted on helping Caleb into his suit. But he did insist on standing beside him like a bodyguard. “I appreciate you taking the time to escort me, Saul.” “It is my pleasure,” Saul replied with a nod. “I heard…

It didn’t take them long to set up camp. It was only for one night, after all. While Bell finished setting up the sleeping bags and pulling out the snacks, Galen got a fire going. She came out of the tent holding something behind her back. Galen eyed her suspiciously. “Should I be afraid?” he asked with a smile. Bell wiggled her eyebrows at him. “Maybe…” Galen laughed. Bell sat down beside him. She turned to face him, putting on a very serious expression. “Are you ready?” she…

Galen stood outside Bell’s office, pacing back and forth just out of sight. He had been there fifteen minutes already. He had debated walking in but was afraid she was busy and he would distract her. Then he thought he would knock, but again, what if she were right in the middle of an important note and she lost her concentration. His mind was full of questions and debates. Should he kiss her as a greeting? Should he hug her? Should he wait and see how she wanted it to go? But what if she thought he…

As the moon hung in the sky at its brightest, Axel and Wyatt stood opposite each other. They each spoke, making promises and humbling themselves before the Goddess. They each shed blood as a sacrifice in their oath, and for the first time, Wyatt kneeled before Axel and pledged to follow him. Ashleigh watched as her father passed his leadership to her brother. She was surprised by the swelling emotions in her chest. Corrine smiled brightly from beside Ashleigh, and soft tears fell from the sparkling…

Corrine, Wyatt, and Axel were busy with the arrangements for the blessing that night. Bell was back at the hospital, and Galen had his own task to handle. Allowing Caleb and Ashleigh to spend some quality time together. “Are you comfortable?” she asked. As she set down a tray of snacks and a couple of drinks. “Thank you,” Caleb smiled, “I’m good.” Ashleigh sat down beside him, curling against his side. He wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer to him and kissing the top of her…
