Chapter 356: Marriage and Alliances Astrid's POV

The air buzzed with excitement as wolves from the Shadowfang and Silvermoon Packs gathered under the full moon.

Tonight wasn't just a celebration of unity between the packs-it was a celebration of love, trust, and a future we had fought so hard to reclaim.

In the packhouse, Asha stood behind me, fixing the final braid in my hair.

When I glanced at her, her face was lit with a quiet pride. "You look beautiful," she smiled at me in awe.

"Thank you, Asha," I whispered as I met her eyes through the mirror. "For everything."

"Astrid," she said softly, meeting my gaze in the mirror. "I know I wasn't always the sister you deserved. I said things, did things I regret. I'm sorry."

I turned to her, surprised by her sudden vulnerability, but my heart warmed at the sincerity in her eyes.

"It's okay, Asha," I said, taking her hands. "We both made mistakes. But we're here now, and that's what matters."

"No, let me finish," she said, her voice breaking. "You've always been so strong, so capable, and I think a part of me... envied that. But instead of supporting you, I resented you for it. I see now how wrong I was, how much pain I added to your life when I should have been by your side."

My heart broke at her words. "Asha, we were both struggling in our own ways. I never held it against you. I just... I never thought we'd find our way back to each other like this."

Her tears spilled over, and she gave me a shaky smile. "I want us to be better, Astrid. I want to be the sister you deserve. I'm so sorry for everything I said, for everything I did."

I pulled her into a tight embrace, her words sinking into my heart. "I forgive you, Asha. And I'm sorry, too, for not reaching out when I should have, for letting the distance between us grow."
