Jun's First Mating.

The tension in the air is thick, suffocating.

Jun barely hears the wolves around him, their voices blending into a chaotic hum of whispers, murmurs, and disbelief.

Kieran's revelation about the Moon Goddess's bond with Ace had shaken the entire pack and the fact about Lila.

And now, with Rehan challenging him, everything feels like it's spiraling out of control.

But Jun isn't thinking about Kieran or Rehan anymore.

Ace left.

That thought alone pushes Jun into action. He doesn't think twice as he turns and makes his way through the restless crowd, his mind set on one thing_ finding Ace.

The cool night air greets him as he steps away from the gathering, his feet moving on instinct.

He doesn't know where Ace might have gone. But Jun heads to the mansion. It's the only place he can think of now, even when he knows he can't be gone there. It doesn't makes sense.
