With only four days left until Adelaide and Lance’s mating ceremony, Adelaide grew increasingly anxious as Irene’s group failed to arrive.

She approached Craig, who was working, and asked, “Has Irene messaged you? When will they get here?”

Graig, carving a moonstone with a bone–patterned knife, looked up and said, “Oh, I almost forgot–Irene said they won’t make it. She wants you to visit the Shadow Peaks with Lance after the ceremony.”

“Not coming?”

Adelaide’s disappointment was evident. “But they promised.”

Craig put down his tool and said with a wry smile, “You know how lazy Irene has become. She’d rather lie down than sit, especially in this snow. She’ll stay by the training camp’s fireplace. You can visit after the ceremony as per tradition.”

“What about Prunella and the others? Surely they can come?”

“If the teacher isn’t coming, the students won’t either,” Craig said, polishing the moonstone.

“Since you left the Shadow Peaks at fifteen and rarely returned or wrote, they naturally assumed you no longer needed us.”

“Feelings have grown distant?” Adelaide felt a chill. “Do they really think that?”

“It’s only natural,” Craig said, beginning to shape the stone for the wolf–pack emblem he’d promised Lance. “You’ve faced difficulties without seeking the teacher’s advice and endured grievances without returning to the camp. They naturally assumed you no longer needed them.”

Adelaide slumped into a seat, acknowledging the truth in Craig’s words.

Over the years, she’d been too preoccupied with her struggles in the Bloodmoon Pack to maintain contact with her teachers. It was only after the Frostfang Pack’s attack that she’d sought help, sending Craig and Prunella to gather intelligence.
