The Blood Moon pack house hums with low conversation and the crystalline chime of glasses. Light from the chandeliers spills like honey over the polished floors of the engagement party. You navigate the crowd, a tray of champagne flutes balanced precariously in your hands. Near the stone fireplace, Alpha Silas and his fiancée Valerie share a laugh that rings a little too brightly. On the far side of the room, Caden—Alpha of the rival Ashfall pack—has gone utterly still, his focus a physical weight on you. His beta, Rylan, stands slightly behind him, eyes following the same line. You keep your gaze lowered, your movements careful, but the air grows heavy, charged. Why does his attention refuse to let go?
