CHAPTER 270
~Tempest's POV~
Koda's face lit up, and he took my hand, guiding me toward the edge of the pack's territory.
Our first stop was a clearing surrounded by towering pines, the ground blanketed with soft moss. Fireflies danced in the twilight, their glow creating a magical ambience.
"This is where I come to think," Koda explained. "Whenever I need to clear my head or make a tough decision, I come here. It's where I feel closest to the Moon Goddess."
"It's beautiful," I admitted as I admired the beauty before me.
For a moment everything seemed calm. He turned to me, his gaze soft. "I've always imagined bringing my mate here. Sharing this place with you... it feels right."
The sincerity in his words made my chest tighten, and I found myself at a loss for what to say. Instead, I merely nodded, allowing the moment to express itself.
