Ace is not thinking.
He is consumed by the words Kieran just accused him of. Never, even for a second, did he ever think that Kieran would go as far as accusing him of wanting many people at once.
Yes, he mentioned Rey, claiming that he was going to present him. But that was a lie_ he never talked to Rey about anything related to mates or bonds.
He thought that maybe, by using that, Kieran would finally speak up. But he didn't.
And about Rehan… Ace was just curious about him, not that he was thinking of making him his mate.
But now, anger is making him present the man he just met a few hours ago.
By the time they arrive, the placed is packed.
The air hums with energy, thick with the anticipation of the gathered wolves. Each in pairs.
A great bonfire blazes at the center, its flames licking at the sky, casting flickering shadows over the stone altar carved with intricate markings_ symbols of the Moon Goddess's eternal rule.
