Chapter 16 - The Grand Festival of the Twin Moons

The capital of Nightfall was draped in thousands of silken banners and glowing fairy lights for the Grand Festival of the Twin Moons—an ancient celebration marking unity, renewal, and the eternal bond of true mates.

Citizens from all across the kingdom, including delegates from the neutral territories of Stonehaven, packed the grand plaza. Music filled the air, and the scent of roasted chestnuts and sweet moon-cakes drifted from the bustling market stalls.

At the center of the royal dais sat Elara and Cassian, dressed in matching regal attire of deep midnight-blue and silver embroidery. Standing beside them, dressed in miniature royal tunics and tiny silver crowns, were Rowan and Rose, waving excitedly at the crowds below.

“Look, Mama! Everyone is looking at us!” Rose squealed, pointing at the sea of cheering wolves.

Elara smiled, waving back at the citizens. “They are looking at you, my little princess. You are the future of Nightfall.”

Grand Judge Allaric’s replacement—a fair and honorable elder wolf named Marcus—stepped forward to the microphone, raising his staff to quiet the roaring crowd.

"I drove three hours to my son’s Thanksgiving dinner with a turkey, two pies, and enough homemade food for 12 people. In front of everyone, my daughter-in-law laughed and said, “Cooking and cleaning, that’s basically your whole personality, Diane.” My son just stared at his plate while the table waited for me to laugh along. I didn’t. That night, I opened the travel plans I had been quietly saving for 11 months, booked a small home in Portugal, and sent my son a Christmas message…

Andre Abbott bends toward my wife at her promotion dinner, brushes his mouth against her shoulder, and watches me over her head. Sienna Zimmerman leans close to his ear and murmurs something that makes him grin like he has already won. Then he looks straight at me and says, “If you want to see how this celebration really ends, come to Room 808.”

I Returned From My Father's Funeral Still Wearing My Pilot's Uniform—Only to Find My Clothes Scattered Across the Yard. My Brother Smirked, “Dad's Gone.

“Citizens of Nightfall, Alphas of the North, and friends of Stonehaven!” Marcus’s voice boomed across the plaza. “Tonight, we celebrate not just the changing of the seasons, but the unbreakable strength of our true rulers. Let it be known across all packs that justice, truth, and love reign supreme in our lands!”

The crowd erupted into deafening cheers, fireworks bursting across the night sky in brilliant displays of silver and gold.

My sister flung my ten-year-old son's Christmas gift across her marble kitchen, and the tiny wooden roof snapped against the tile. My brother laughed.

For twelve years, my mother had persuaded everyone in our hometown that I'd turned my back on my family to build a career in the Navy. At my father's memorial service, she publicly shamed me in a packed church and ordered me to take off my military uniform. I was ready to walk away when a retired general rose from his seat with Dad's final letter in his hand and said, "Before you humiliate your daughter one more time, Helen, these people deserve to know the truth."

My husband sl3pped me across the face in front of his entire family and shouted, “Get out of my house! You don't belong here anymore!” Behind him, my mother-in-law smiled with satisfaction, certain she had finally succeeded in driving me away. What neither of them knew was that I secretly owned the mansion they were standing in—and the $10,000 my mother-in-law spent every month on designer clothes, luxury holidays, and personal comforts came straight from my bank account. They thought they were throwing out a helpless woman. They had no idea they were about to lose everything…

gifts to “the grandchildren who made us proud this year,” and my two kids sat on the carpet with empty hands while their cousin tore open a tablet, sneakers, a drone, and gift cards. My eleven-year-old daughter kept smiling because she thought maybe her name was on the next box. My nine-year-old son whispered, “Dad, did Santa forget Grandma’s house?” Then my brother’s son leaned toward them and said, “Guess you didn’t deserve one.” My mother laughed like it was cute. My father looked at me like I was the problem for noticing. I did not yell. I did not ruin dinner. I helped my children put on their coats and drove two hours home through freezing rain. By morning, I had sent one text that finally ended the role my family had assigned us.

For seven years, I paid my parents' propane and electric bills because Dad promised their Vermont farmhouse would someday be mine. At Christmas dinner, he read his new will aloud and left the house and twelve acres to my sister. Then he gave me his old hair dryer, and everyone laughed. I left without revealing the Christmas present hidden in my coat pocket. Three weeks later, during a brutal cold snap, Dad came knocking at my door...
