Elena searches a fountain for her cub's lost moonstone while her ex-Alpha sneers.
On their anniversary, Alpha Liam gave Elena only a protection mark before bonding with his first love Seraphina, calling Elena's hurt a failed test. She left without looking back. Five years later at an Alpha Council hotel, Liam's pack stands beside Seraphina in moonlight silk, nearing major power. He finds Elena ankle-deep in an ornamental fountain, covered in sand, and taunts that no pack will accept a human. Elena ignores him entirely — her cub's treasured moonstone, found while combing the beach, has slipped into the water, and the little one is frantic to recover it.
