The sun hadn’t yet risen, and the packlands were still bathed in darkness, which only made this all the more unbearable. My family stood behind me, their silent presence both comforting and heartbreaking.
• I glanced back at them—my mother, Elara, who had given me a sad but resolute smile; my fathers, Thorne, Lucian, and Ronan, who stood with quiet strength, though none of them could hide the sorrow in their eyes. This was happening. I was leaving with a man I barely knew, a man who would soon be my husband, and I was powerless to stop it.
