In an instant , his Alpha presence flooded the corridor as he positioned himself between them , a threatening growl rumbling from his chest .

What did you do to her ? Shes weakened , and you dare ? Ravenna watched with bitter amusement .

The mighty , controlled Alpha , undone by a few tears .

He hadnt even scented for truth , just instinctively marked her as aggressor .

This was her mate .

Her chest constricted as if caught in a silver trap .

Alpha , please , Winters voice trembled sweetly .

Sister only spoke of the ring .

Dont blame her .

The moon ritual is set , Valdrins face darkened .

Your petty games wont stop it .

I wont let anything threaten Winters healing .

But Ravenna offered no defense .

What use were words when Valdrins ears were deaf to any voice but Winters ? She retreated silently to her healing chamber .

Only her moonweave designs remained faithful now .

Shed dreamed of seeing them worn at the Great Pack Gathering , and fortune had granted her next years invitation .

But fates cruelty meant she wouldnt live to see .

Sweet , Winters daughter .

I dont know why she got so angry .

She tried to attack me ! I was so scared … I thought she would kill me .

Her fathers Alpha power exploded : Ravenna ! You dare raise a hand against a pup ? Ravenna remained silent .

She touched the back of her head , fingers coming away red with blood .

Her father didnt notice , yanking her head back by her hair : Is this how I taught you to behave ? Attacking an innocent pup ! The pain made her vision swim , but it was nothing compared to the ache in her soul .

Forced to bare her throat in submission , blood trickling down her neck , Ravennas laugh was hollow the sound of a wolf with nothing left to lose .
