Layla was floored. Her mind was racing. She tried to check in with her inner wolf but was lost. There was nothing but silence, confusion, and emotional pain. Time felt as if it was slowing down and then would ricochet back to the correct time. This was not her mate.

Anthony smiled at Layla as he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. Her father's pack had crowded into the small hall and were celebrating behind her. The noise of the cheering was deafening. How could anyone believe this? This was not her mate.

Anthony pulled her in for a tight hug and swayed back and forth. "Oh my daughter, I am so happy for you. I never thought the day would come. It has been so long since you became of age." He cried in her ear.

"I'm only 19," Layla responded, annoyed. "Father, please listen to me, this man is not-"

"Oh Layla, do not be frightened. There is nothing more beautiful than finding your mate," Anthony interjected.

Layla broke from his embrace. "I am not afraid," she said sternly. "It would be beautiful but this is not my-"

Anthony walked away from her and wrapped his arm around Alistar's shoulder who handed him a tankard of ale. Laughing, Anthony proclaimed to the crowd, "enjoy the day for tonight is my daughter's mating ceremony. We shall not haste in joining our packs. I welcome you, Alistar and your pack, into my home and family!"

"Father!" Layla protested as she pushed her way towards him. "I must speak with you!"

Alistar held up his hand to stop her. "Now, now my pretty little mate, don't worry yourself with all the plans for tonight." He hungrily looked her up and down. "Why don't you go clean yourself up a little bit?"

Layla glared at Alistar. She could not fathom what this man was lying for. She knew deep in her soul that Solomon had not rejected her behind her back and that their connection was still intact. There was no way she could be mated to more than one person, the Goddess would not allow it. What did Alistar gain by this lie? As the Riverwalkers had cruelly pointed out to her earlier that morning, she and her pack brought very little to table. There was no power, no prestige, and very little land. She was not so beautiful as to be so desirable that someone would lie about being mates.

Anthony laughed. "A father will always make time for his child, Alistar. But please make this quick, Layla."

"I would prefer to do this alone." She said through gritted teeth.

"So much like her mother, this one!" Anthony chuckled as he patted Layla on the shoulder. Despite his joyful tone, Layla knew that the mention of her mother was a warning from her father. But she didn't really care to heed it. Anthony walked her away from Alistar and the crowd to an empty corner. "What is it?" He whispered, his eyes scanned the room.

"Father," she pleaded once more. "Please listen to me. I cannot go through with this."

"Enough of this Layla." All joy and celebration left his tone. "This is not your choice to make. He is your mate. And this is what is best for our pack. He will be a solid Alpha."

"He is not my mate, Father." Layla protested. "Who is this person? How could you possibly know that he is what's best? I do not need a husband to be the Luna of this pack. It is my right and mine alone."

Anthony firmly squeezed her bicep and took a step closer to her. He towered over her small frame. Only once had she ever feared her father and his animalistic posturing reminded her of that moment.

"You will not speak to me about such things. You will never be the Luna of this pack. Alistar will be the Alpha and you are his mate."

"Father, listen-" she began.

"No, Layla. I have had enough. Do you even know what it takes to lead this pack? Do you even know how we struggle? This is the best thing for our pack. I cannot protect you or them forever. Moonbane inches closer each and every day. Will you fight them off?"

Layla dropped her head. Before this morning Moonbane was a rumor, a ghost, a nightmare she could ignore but after this morning, she clearly understood the reality of it. Her father was right, her pack would be destroyed if they ever invaded. And now that she personally upset the Alpha and his wife, it was only a matter of time before they were on their doorsteps with war.

She shook her head no. "I cannot fight them off by myself and I know we do not have the strength as a pack to do so. But there has to be another way."

"You do not get to choose who your mate is, Layla." Her father scolded.

"Someone told me that I did have a choice," she said sheepishly.

Anthony released her arm. "I don't know who filled your head with that nonsense. Do you think I chose your mother?" He scoffed.

"But she was your mate," Layla replied pointedly. She grew frustrated by her father's willful ignorance. She couldn't make it any clearer, Alistar was not her mate.

"Aye, that she was." Anthony's eyes drifted off to the wall behind her head and she could tell he wasn't present anymore. His mind floating elsewhere to a place he kept to himself, a place he spent most of his time in.

"Is,"Layla corrected to herself. Her mother wasn't dead but it was like she was. She often forgot that her mother still lived. It had been ages since she had last seen her, although sometimes when she was alone in the woods she felt her presence. The person who her mother was was gone and only the wolf remained.

In that moment, Layla's heart softened. She recognized her father as a comrade in arms. "What is it like to live without her?" She asked not as a child earning for closure from her mother but as someone who too must live without their mate. She clung to the hope that her father could give her insight to her own pain.

"Don't ask me those kinds of silly questions." His voice quivered as he took a large sip of ale. Anthony failed to see his daughter as the woman she was before him standing in her own pain. He saw the four year child, face gashed and bloodied who watched her mother leave. "Don't be selfish, Layla. Stop fighting your mate, this is a good thing."

Layla's heart sank as she watched her father return to the celebrations. This situation was so complicated and any decision she was to make had been decided for her. She wanted to break down and cry to the Goddess but she knew that this wasn't the place. She knew that she looked like an obstinate child throwing a fit.

She accepted that she and Solomon could not be together.

But, he was all she wanted at that moment.

She knew that he would understand the conflict she felt. How hypocritical it was to push him into his role in this pack and then to turn around and not do the same. But it wasn't exactly the same thing. His duty to his pack did not include mating with someone else like her duty did. She wanted to believe that Solomon would understand and be accepting of this outcome. There was something inevitable about her betrothal but she could not have guessed who soon after Solomon it would have happened.

The thought of Solomon being betrothed to someone else destroyed her.

She sighed remorsefully. She watched Alistar make his way around the room. He seemed well liked enough, she thought to herself. He was loud and abrasive to the men and flirted with all the women. She counted five separate cheeks he kissed, three waists he grabbed, and one maid he did not let leave his side. He played with the children, throwing them into the air. Every so often he would glance her way and wink.

It became too much for her to bear. She worked her way across the room to the door. She needed fresh air. She needed some quiet to think. The sun hung high in the sky and hurt her eyes. She could still hear the celebration inside but it was better to be outside, her bare feet in the grass than inside with that cacophony. She found a tree on the edge of the fence and sat beneath its branches. She closed her eyes and her exhaustion hit her like a ton of bricks.

She heard soft footsteps approach her but she did not open her eyes. "That's a good idea. You won't get much sleep tonight," a soft voice similar to hers teased.

"Shut your mouth, Tabitha." She groaned.

Tabitha was her cousin. Their mothers were pregnant around the same time and they were raised like twins. It didn't help that most everyone would agree that they looked like twins. They would disagree. Tabitha's thick dark hair was much longer than hers, she kept it braided down past her waist. She was slightly taller than Layla in spite of being younger.

Tabitha sat next to her. "What are you wearing?" she asked as she began to play with a blade of grass, twirling it between her fingers.

Layla jolted up suddenly, "oh, I forgot to change!" She still had the tunic from Solomon on.

"A mystery!" Tabitha teased. "So where did yours go?" she nudged Layla with her shoulder playfully. "Does this have to do with Alvin in there?"

Layla scrunched her face in disgust. "Absolutely not." Tabitha laughed. "This is not from Alistar," she corrected.

"Oh, my bad. He's not too bad, I guess." Tabitha tried to be supportive.

"No, I think he is." Layla pulled on the bottom of her tunic.

"Oh! That's harsh for a mate." Tabitha laughed.

"Tab, he is not my mate." Layla said solemnly.

Tabitha's jaw dropped. "What do you mean? How do you know?"

Layla scanned the area for any eavesdroppers and pulled Tabitha close to her. "I already have a mate," she whispered.

Tabitha scoffed, "yeah, Alistar."

"No, it's not Alistar. It's someone else," she said nervously. "I met him last night." Tabitha's large brown eyes grew wide as she leaned towards Layla silently urging her to continue. "As you know, I went hunting last night. And, and while I was out there I met a man," Layla stumbled.

"Girl, I assumed." Tabitha grew impatient from her cousin's delivery.

Layla rolled her eyes. She lowered her voice as much as she could and said, "I met Solomon Riverwalker."

Tabitha squeaked! She quickly tried to cover it with a cough but it was very obvious. "Are you serious?" Layla nodded her head. "How did that happen? Did he take you to your mate?"

"No. He is my mate. I don't know what he was doing in the woods but I stumbled upon him. And then you know," Layla said dreamily.

"No, I do not know. I do not have a mate." Tabitha said flatly.

"It's the most amazing thing. All it takes is being in the same space and the second you get their scent, it's like magic. I can't really describe it. I knew right away that he was my mate. It was like something awoken in me that had been asleep my whole life. My wolf was more alert and more present. I didn't know him but I also did. Better than anyone. He felt like home if that makes sense."

"Not really," Tabitha replied bluntly but ever the optimist, she added with a bright smile, "but that's okay!" She gave Layla a small side hug. "So then what in Goddess's name is going on in there?" She waved her hands towards the Hall.

"I honestly have no idea. I know he's lying but I don't understand why my father won't believe me."

"Well…" Tabitha injected sarcastically. Layla rolled her eyes. "Okay, so Alistar is lying. But why are you even here? Why aren't you off with Solomon."

Layla took a long deep sigh and then quickly recounted the morning's tragic events. She purposefully left out the choice names Solomon's parents had called her. She was proud of herself for not breaking down into an emotional mess when she was talking. Maybe this was the first step in moving on. She wasn't exactly sure.

By the time she finished, Tabitha had covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief. "That's horrible," she finally said to Layla. "I sincerely hate that."

"Yeah, me too." Layla starred off in the distance.

"I think it's stupid. He could have been Alpha here."

"It's more complicated than that." Layla sighed.

"So what are you going to do? You can't go through with it," Tabitha implored.

Layla took a deep breath. In her heart, she wanted to run but her mind was conflicted. Regardless of how she felt, she and Tabitha both knew she really didn't have a choice. Her father had already decided.

    The cousins sat beneath the tree till the sun began to set. Both weighing out the situation. Layla wasn't welcome in Solomon's pack and would not be welcomed home if she left. She had nowhere to go. As much as she longed to see Solomon again, she was extremely hesitant to do so. Maybe Alistar wasn't too bad. She watched her father live without his mate, her mother, since she was four year old. He seemed happy enough. He never complained. Maybe she too could do the same but with Alistar instead of alone. The thought felt wrong, though. In a weird nonsensical way it felt like she was cheating on Solomon but she wasn't. He hasn't rejected her but he also didn't pick her. Not that she would have let him. It was too convoluted. All she wanted was to talk to Solomon but the clock was ticking. The ceremony was to take place that night. "I heard somewhere that mates can communicate telepathically," Tabitha said as she lounged in the grass. Layla rolled her eyes, "that's ridiculous."

    Solomon shifted into his wolf form. He stood at the edge of the woods. Layla desperately wanted to shift and run off with him. But she stood with her feet firmly planted on the grass. She watched him slowly make his way into the woods. She stood there till she could no longer hear the snapping of twigs under his feet. She sadly turned towards the hall and made her way back into the crowd. She had never seen her pack get this belligerent as they currently were. There was a small group of men wrestling in the corner and another circling around a musician loudly singing off key drinking songs. She wasn't even aware that there was a musician in the pack. Tabitha was located by her father next to the fire, dancing with a tall man with short ashy blonde hair. She knew right away he was a Beta but had no idea who he belonged to. He spun Tabitha in a circle and relieved an insignia embroidered on the front of his tunic, a thunderbolt encased in a new moon, essentially a thunderbolt in a circ

    Layla walked up the stairs and down a familiar dimly lit corridor. She was ready for the day to be over. It had been, without a single doubt, the longest day of her life. She was exhausted and ready for sleep. She opened the door to her bedroom. Her window was open and the cool breeze filled her room. Her bed was directly across from her door inviting her in. Her room wasn't spectacular, there weren't any tapestries or paintings. There was a well worn rug in the middle of the room at the foot of her bed. A small desk by the window. A large wardrobe in the corner. She sighed as she walked into the room. She lightly kicked the door to close it as she walked towards the window to close it but the door didn't close. She heard a thud of the door catching someone's arm and she jumped. Javier was standing behind her in the doorway. "What the hell," she exclaimed angrily. "What are you doing here?" "My Luna," he began as he bowed his head. She immediately wanted to vomit and it was writ

She wanted to scream. She wanted to believe that it all was a horrible dream. She would awake the day prior, without any mate, without any drama, without any heartache, and without any bother.

She would have to start to learn about their customs and rituals. There was a lot to do in order to make this transition easy. Would their packs merge now because they were just mated, or would they merge after the death of her father? These were question

    Cassias Littlefyre was the apple of his mother's eye. Many would say that he had the wit and intelligence of his mother and the looks and fearlessness of his father. As a baby, he walked before the other children. He would climb on top of everything. He frequently gave Layla small explosive attacks of anxiety. She often worried that he didn't feel pain because he never seemed to feel it. The healers would reassure her that he did…but she would always be skeptical on that front. Cassias was a happy baby who grew into a happy silly little boy. Alistar wouldn't really know. He spent most of his time elsewhere. There were nine months he was gone without a word. He didn't even bring Javier with him. Vanished. Layla suspected that there was a baby involved but he would never come out and say. That was four years ago. They left her childhood home and her father's pack shortly after Cassias' birth. She desperately begged Tabitha to join her but Alistar would not let anyone from her old pac

    They arrived at Layla's father's house three days later by horse. The journey was long and tedious. It was difficult to keep a six year old entertained. Alistar was in a terrible mood the entire trip. Layla's attention jumped between them. It was draining. Everything remained exactly how she left it. It was exactly what she needed. It was as she was transported into the past. Her room was exactly the same as she left it. There was a stability that she had longed for right at her finger tips. She never wanted to leave. She had immediate access to teachers for her son and healers. The weather was calm with a slight nip in the air. No early winters. No windy nights. No drafty rooms. She wouldn't have to fight Alistar about lighting the fire, it wasn't his fireplace or wood. She had always assumed that her father's pack was lower on the hierarchy of the regional packs. They weren't as flashy, their numbers weren't as large, and sometimes food was hard to come by. Especially after the w

    Layla sat at the foot of the banquet table as far away from Alistar as she could. She couldn't stand the sound of his voice. She knew he would be bragging and she couldn't bear to hear it. The falsehoods and misinformation was never something she could play along with, especially to her father. She preferred to sit with Cassias more than anyone else and was more than happy to do so. "Where's his nanny?" Tabitha innocently asked between bites of roast and garlic potatoes.Layla immediately turned red from embarrassment. She was always an honest person but ever since she went along with Alistar's lie, the dishonesty snowballed into an avalanche of deceit. It was difficult to keep up with all the lies she had to tell to cover for him and his lies. She was flustered and panicked but after six years, she couldn't do it anymore. So instead she told the truth, "he doesn't have." "Oh?" Tabitha responded. Layla could hear the tone of judgment in her voice, Tabitha did not hide it well.

    It was finally time for their wedding. It had been four months since the disambation of Thundermoon. Layla's bruises had healed, even the scars from Alistar's first attack were starting to fade. She had begun to grow out her hair so she could wear it in the traditional style. She had practiced with Solomon and Zoya for many weeks. She felt ready. She just wanted to get all of it over. She just wanted to be recognized as Solomon's mate. She had flown through the first two individual ceremonies without issue and with each step drawing her closer and closer to the goal. The last individual ceremony involved her family. Tabitha acted in the role her mother should have been in. As part of the ceremony, Tabitha braided Layla's hair as her father, Anthony, had to recite a prayer. It was humorous to watch. Anthony did not speak the language, Tabitha was not skilled at braiding. But they both tried their best to do their part. On the other side of the banquet hall, Solomon was performing a s

    There was something bittersweet about leaving her father's home. With Cassias planted firmly on her lap and Solomon by her side, everything felt new and exciting. The realization of her greatest dreams being on the verge of coming true was thrilling. She couldn't wait but it was also sad to think that this place would never be her home anymore. She belonged elsewhere now. She remembered how she felt when she left with Alistar and how depressing it was to leave. All those years spent with him and at Thundermoon, they never felt like home. Now the place she always considered home no longer felt that way. Home was now the people beside her.Balthazar and Solomon spent most of the journey back to the Moonbane fort quizzing Cassias on his newly learned language. It was heartwarming watching these men embrace and accept her son so openly and thoroughly. They were patient with him and gently corrected any mistakes. They spoke clearly and slowly for him to catch on and understand. Layla could

    They left the camp the next morning. Layla was happy to never return to this cursed place ever again. This chapter of her life was finally over. Before she stepped into the carriage to return home, she bent over and found a small red rock. She placed it in the pocket of her dress. It wasn't for her but for Cassias. This was his home, his inheritance. If she had it her way, that rock would be all he would need and never return. There was nothing left for him anyway. She returned in the same carriage as Solomon and his father. It was clear now with Alistar out of the picture what Layla's relationship was towards the leaders of the pack. She was no longer a stranger or an enemy but soon family. The men treated her differently, not that anyone other than Saraiah or Simon treated her badly, but it was a noticeable difference. They respected her now. She was one of them. It was almost as if her connection to Thundermoon never existed. She wanted to treat her time there like it was a dream

    Layla awoke in the middle of the night in a deep panic. Her dreams were haunted by the faces of the men she once led, the men she helped slaughter. Her heart was racing so badly it felt like it would explode out of her chest. She kept having flashbacks of the battle and Alistar but it was difficult to make any sense of it all. Her body didn't feel like her own, her mind was searching for a connection to reality and everything felt like it was slipping. Solomon's arm was sleepily wrapped over her side and he was in a deep restful sleep. For a small moment, Layla was jealous. She wished that she had been so unaffected by everything the way he was. She gently moved his arm off of her and he rolled onto his back. She smiled at how peaceful he looked. It reminded her of their first night together all those years ago before Alistar came into her life. She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She got out of bed, she didn't have a plan but she knew she needed to do something. There was n

    Solomon carried Layla in his arms out of the meeting hall. She wanted to set it ablaze and dance on its ashes but she feared how Solomon would have taken her suggestion so instead she buried her head into the crook of his neck. She breathed his scent in deeply, it calmed her. She finally felt safe but it took more than one deep breath for her body to catch up. Her heart was racing and her breathing was staggered. She hadn't noticed it before but she was shaking tremendously. Her body couldn't shake the fear. Something felt off as if it were forgotten but she couldn't put her finger on it. She tried to process everything that had just occurred but was blanking out. All she could see was the look in Alistar's eye when she drove her knife into him. It was horrifying and heartbreaking. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there sooner," Solomon said softly. "I'll never forgive myself, I should have been there. I shouldn't have left you. I'm so sorry, I was so stupid. I am so stupid.""Where were you?

    Layla tried with all her might to stay conscious but was struggling. Her vision was narrowing and the black was creeping in. She hadn't anticipated this ending. She felt like a fool, how could she not have? She knew Alistar better than almost anyone, she had spent the majority of her time with him even with her indifference towards him, she was bound to learn a thing or two about the man. And she should have known that he wouldn't go down without a fight, without another dirty trick up his sleeve. "Oh, not yet." His voice was dark and she could hear the smile in his voice. It was vile. She didn't know what he had meant but it was too late. Before she knew it, Alistar slammed her down onto the table with a loud thud. If she had any left in her lungs, it would have knocked the wind out of her but instead, it was like a jolt of electricity that shocked her back into her body. It was a rude awakening that she was grateful for but the fear of his next move overwhelmed her senses. She trie

    "Fancy seeing you here," Alistar's voice was like a menacing song. "I have missed you, my mate."The way he snarled the words "my mate" sent shivers down Layla's spine. She had seen multiple sides of him but this was something new. He wasn't himself. Before her stood a man with nothing to lose and nothing to gain, a man completely taken over by his animalistic side. He was more a monster than man. But Layla could not show any fear. It was time for her to confront her fear face-on, if not only for herself but also for her son and the pack he failed to protect."You look like horse shit," he sneered as he slowly approached her. His eyes darted from hers to the open door behind her. "You finally look as washed up as you are." Layla knew he was trying to get under her skin and cause a reaction, she would not give him the pleasure. "Look at you being so brave with you little bitch boy behind you to protect you," he laughed. "Don't worry, she's all yours," he called out over her should

    It happened in a blink of an eye. Layla couldn't process what had happened, Javier was dead and he was not going to be the only casualty of the night. it was difficult to fully grasp. Javier was gone. All the light drained from his eyes. Layla lost all control of her breathing. She violently threw her hands over her mouth. All the excitement she had felt before this moment vanished. She was face to face with the reality of war. It wasn't some story in a history book, it was the loss of a good friend. Time sped up rapidly to utter chaos. She was thankful that all the Moonbane wolves had dark brown or black fur while all the Thundermoon wolves had similar ashy blonde fur. It made it easier to follow the flow of the fight but it also made it more painfully obvious how outnumbered Thundermoon was. This wasn't a fair fight, it was a massacre. No matter how she had spun it before, there was no denying the truth now. Layla felt horrible, the remorse overwhelmed her. Solomon was right, she s

    It was agreed that Cassias would be left with Tabitha back at her father's home. A tutor was sent along to maintain his studies. She was nervous that Minnie, the nanny who Cassias was previously left in their care, was still there. She didn't trust her judgment after the whole incident with Alistar. She didn't want to be paranoid but it was hard not to be. She knew that Minnie was doing her job, no one instructed her to not let Alistar take Cassias, he is his father. But that was the ripple that led to a tidal wave. She traveled with the supplies while the rest of the pack traveled ahead in the wolf form. She wasn't opposed to shifting, in fact there was very little in this world that she wanted to do more. She yearned for it as if it was a scratch she couldn't reach. The healers had advised her to wait a few more weeks before she could shift into her wolf form for long periods of time. If she pushed herself too hard too quickly she could lose her ability to shift. She felt an anger
