“They said Moonclaw isn’t the only Pack celebrating.” Tiara complained dramatically through the speaker. “Apparently all of Lunaris needs to know their son found his mate and that their family is getting two new members soon.” She sounded genuinely distressed, as though discussing an approaching disaster rather than her own mating ceremony. “Lady Juniper said there’s no such thing as ‘too extravagant’ when it comes to family celebrations p>
Lylah couldn’t stop the smile pulling at her lips.
Both she and Tiara had spent a long time in Blackfang, where joy was treated like a luxury and celebrations barely existed. Ironcrest had never been much different.
But she still remembered Tiara, sprawled across her bed, dreaming aloud about the future.
If I ever find my mate,’ she had declared once, ‘I want the biggest party imaginable.
Lylah remembered it perfectly.
“Tiara,” she said gently, laughter warming her voice, “this was part of your dream. You wanted this p>
‘Yeah, but…” Tiara hesitated miserably. “Back then I thought I’d still be an ordinary wolf. Now this means everyone will know I’m Damon’s mate p>
Lylah laughed softly.
‘Well then…” she teased, “Congratulations, you’ll soon became one of Moonclaw Ladies p>
‘Lylah!” Tiara nearly shrieked. “The only reason I’m surviving this is that you’re my Luna. If I had to go hrough all of this alone, who knows what would happen to me p>
Before Lylah could answer, another voice entered the conversation.
‘Don’t worry, Tiara,” Ezra said smoothly. “I’m sure Damon won’t let anything go wrong for you.” A faint amusement flickered in his eyes. “Right, Damon p>
He spoke as though he already knew Damon was somewhere nearby, lingering behind Tiara and listening
o the entire conversation just as he was.
‘Yes, Alpha,” Damon answered immediately from the other end of the call.
The response made Lylah chuckle softly.
Not long after, the call finally ended.
The living room fell quiet again beneath the glow of moonlight spilling through the penthouse windows. Lylah turned toward Ezra, shifting closer against his side instinctively.
“I hope the ceremony happens before I leave for the volunteer,” she said. “I want to give Tiara her gift myself.” Then her eyes brightened slightly. “Ezra, we need to buy something for them soon p>

“You seem more excited about their ceremony than you were about ours,” Ezra murmured.
His tone held no real complaint. Only softness.
“But I can’t blame you,” he continued quietly. “Ours was terrible p>
Lylah laughed under her breath.
The memory is still vivid.
There’s no grand ceremony or blessing beneath the sacred altar.
The moment she arrived in Lunaris, Ezra had taken her straight to the city hall near midnight to legalize their mating license. At the time, they had barely known each other.
Back then, she still thought her mate was an ordinary Moonclaw warrior named Riven.
Not the Alpha whose name shook the entire continent.
And yet somehow after that, time had flowed softly between them, warm as sunlight spilling across winter skin, instead of the wary coldness that should have lingered between two strangers.
Looking back now, Lylah could hardly understand how naturally they had intertwined-how easily his presence became part of her days, how effortlessly her soul made room for him, as though some invisible thread had been binding them together long before they ever learned each other’s names.
Perhaps this was what the old stories meant when they spoke of fated mates.
Not merely love.
But recognition so deep it felt older than this lifetime itself.
Lylah’s eyes softened as she rested fully against his chest. “I can’t even describe how grateful I am that fate brought me to you p>
A faint smile touched her lips.
‘If there’s another life before or after this one…” Her fingers curled gently against his shirt. “I pray we’ll still find each other again. Over and over p>
A soft laugh slipped from her lips afterward, light and unaware, never noticing the raw emotion darkening Ezra’s eyes as he lowered his head and pressed a kiss against her hair.
“Me too,” he whispered.
