The Great Hall reeked of smoke, cedar, and rain-soaked wolves. Laughter and politics echoed off stone, blurring into static the moment she entered. Five years of silence ended in a heartbeat. Silas, the unmated alpha, felt the bond snap violently. His glass shattered. Pain, then recognition, tore through him. *Mine.* His wolf roared. Across the room, she froze, eyes wide with shared horror. Beside her, a man’s hand rested possessively on her back. Her intended. The air grew suffocating. Silas couldn’t look away. Too late. Five years too late. She wore another wolf’s colors.
