(Lyra's POV)
The full moon hung heavy in the sky as the pack gathered to celebrate our newly formed bond. Lanterns cast a warm glow over the clearing, and the air was filled with music and laughter. I stood between Asher and Lucian, their hands warm in mine, watching our pack members dance and feast.
"Are you happy?" Asher murmured, pressing a kiss to my temple.
"More than I ever thought possible," I replied, leaning into his touch while squeezing Lucian's hand.
Lucian pulled me closer, his green eyes soft with love. "Our little family, finally complete."
But even as warmth bloomed in my chest at their words, something dark flickered at the edge of my vision. I turned my head sharply, but there was nothing there except dancing shadows.
