Chapter 37

• Tristan's POV
• I arrived at Crescent Moon Pack just past noon, the sun hanging high in the sky, spilling golden heat over the hills. After securing my horse at the stables, I made my way toward the pack house, brushing dust from my sleeves and stretching out the long ride from my shoulders.
• That was when I saw her—Laura—coming from the training grounds, laughing in that loud, carefree way that always turned heads. She was surrounded by a group of young warriors—boys and girls alike—still in their practice gear, their faces slick with sweat, their energy buzzing with post-training adrenaline.
