They returned once again to the Silvermoon Estate, and once again to the same private dining room as last time. But this time. Reginald was already waiting inside–and the change in him was visible.

The old Alpha, whose face had always been stiff with scrutiny, actually stood to greet her. His gaze, once wary and harsh, now carried something closer to admiration.

“Tessa, have a seat,” Darren said, gesturing toward the chair and personally pouring her a cup of tea. “I was too narrow–minded before. I treated you poorly. Don’t take it to heart.” He paused, then continued solemnly, “You handled the virus outbreak brilliantly. Not just for Landon–every wolf in Montedra owes you a debt.”

Tessa hadn’t expected him to be so direct, and the sincerity caught her off guard. “I only did what needed to be done.”

“Facing that kind of pressure and still thinking of the bigger picture… not everyone could’ve done that.” Darren looked at her, a newfound respect in his eyes. “Looks like Landon’s judgment was better than mine.”

Then his tone shifted. “Since you two are fated mates, it’s time–by custom–for both families to meet and decide on the day of the bonding ceremony.”

In the werewolf world, bonding wasn’t just a wedding–it was a sacred ritual that bound blood and soul. The date had to be agreed upon by both families and aligned with tradition.

Tessa’s fingers tightened slightly around the teacup. Her voice dropped. “The only family I acknowledge is my grandfather.” But he was no longer here.

Silence settled over the room for a moment.

Darren clearly knew the Sinclair family’s story. He sighed. “I wasn’t thinking.”

He glanced at Landon with a subtle signal, then turned back to Tessa. “Then we’ll leave the bonding ceremony up to you two. What timing feels right to you?”

“Anytime is fine,” Tessa said with a soft smile. “I’m not particular.”

Landon took her cool hand in his, letting his warmth seep through. “No rush. We’ll take our time picking.”

He knew the ache she carried. Her grandfather had wanted nothing more than to see her bonded. But now…

Landon was determined to make the ceremony perfect. She would not be left with another regret.

Watching the two of them with their fingers entwined, Darren’s stern face softened a little. “Next month, there’s a full moon. Traditionally, it’s a good day for bonding–strong star alignment.”

He pulled out his phone and brought up a lunar chart used by the wolves–something like an old almanac. “Take a look.”

Tessa leaned over, and Landon’s head tilted next to hers, their hair brushing as they studied the chart together.

“This one looks good,” Landon said, looking at her with a quiet question in his eyes.

Tessa nodded. “Yeah. It’s nice.”

Sunlight slanted through the windows, casting a warm glow over the three of them. Darren looked at the pair in front of him- such a fitting match–and thought of how wrong he’d once been about her. “From now on, the Thorne family is your family. If you ever need anything, come to me.”

A warmth bloomed in Tessa’s chest. She murmured, “Thank you, Uncle.”

As they left the restaurant, Landon held her hand as they walked along the lake.

“When that day comes, I want the entire Montedra pack to witness it,” he said, bending down to kiss the top of her head. “I’ll never let you face anything alone again.”

Tessa looked up at him, the autumn sunlight catching in his eyes like scattered stars.

If her grandfather were watching now, she knew exactly what he’d say: “Our Tessa finally found someone who loves her.”
