Elestria waits for her mate for 240 full moons. This year, she was the gossip for being the only one without a mate. Tired and disappointed, she joined the palace forces to spy on the Seraphim Kingdom.

Under the lunar eclipse, she found that special fragrance. For the first time, her body was deeply relaxed, but her mind was aflame. The wolf in her stirred with excitement.

Elestria found him. His brilliant red eyes didn't blink as they locked gazes. In that very moment, they realized they had found each other as enemies.

Dev couldn't read Elestria's mind. So, he just stared at her, prompting her to say something.

The urgency made it impossible for Elestria to think clearly. She played with her cookie-slippery fingers. She squeaked, "How, how was it in Emberfall?"

Elestria looked at him. Five seconds later she looked down. She was calmer as she stared at her knuckles. "Is Emberfall all... all white wolves?"

"Not all." Dev had an amused smile. He had forgotten how many times he had smiled. "Emberfall is predominantly black wolves. I'm one of the white wolves."

Elestria nodded. Again, she nodded.

She neither nodded nor shook her head. She just looked down.

"Rely on me when you want something. I will fulfill it."
