Though her name change petition had been submitted , pack law required a full moon cycle for the Elder Council to process such a significant binding .

The ancient magic that tied a wolfs name to their essence couldnt be altered without proper ceremony .

Without hesitation , she booked a flight for the first day of the next month , then sent her acceptance to the Academys photography program .

Since completing her basic pack training , Winter had dreamed of studying photography at Lunaris .

The creative energy that flowed through the citys artistic quarter was said to inspire unprecedented vision in wolf artists .

But Reed had always protested , claiming he couldnt bear the distance between mates , causing her to delay for three years .

Winter turned to see Reed emerging from it , another she wolf wrapped possessively in his arms .

Even with his enhanced senses detecting her presence , he didnt flinch or try to hide .

Winter knew why he acted so brazenly he was counting on her silence about his actions during his supposed memory loss , secure in his manipulation .

From the start of his condition , Reed had denied their pair bond , having her possessions magically expelled from the pack house .

She would have been left territory less if not for the neighboring dens owner suddenly offering her shelter at an unusually low tribute price .

What shed thought was the blessing of the Moon Goddess now revealed itself as just another thread in his web of deceit .

Hed arranged it all to keep her within his territory , afraid she might slip beyond his reach .

Looking back on this month of deception , Winter could only laugh at her own naivety .

Ignoring whatever performance he planned to put on today , she turned to break the magical seal on the final box of memories .

Reeds alpha senses caught the scent of what she was disposing of , his expression darkening as he recognized the magical signatures of his own gifts .

Why are you breaking our bond tokens ? Winter cast him a cold glance , her wolf stirring with anger beneath her skin .

Werent you suffering from memory loss ? How do you recognize these magical signatures ? Realizing his slip , Reed quickly composed himself , affecting an air of alpha indifference .

How could I possibly remember ? The past is past .

Likely his favorite conquest during this time , which explained why he brazenly brought her into his den .

With nothing more to say to either wolf , Winter merely hummed in acknowledgment before turning back toward her sanctuary , Watching her retreat without a hint of jealousy or protest , Reeds alpha instincts stirred uneasily .

Hed brought another female into his territory shouldnt she be crying ? Shouldnt her wolf be howling in distress ? Why was she so eerily calm ? Though sensing something was wrong , Reed didnt follow to investigate .

His pride kept him rooted as he watched her disappear behind wards he himself had once placed on her door .

At eight , her protection runes flared as someone rang the bell .
