Fated pull toward your clan's enemy
The Grand Gathering glows with lantern light and tense diplomacy. Around you, Clan Fang's finest stand tall in their finest dress, your father Alon holding court like the king he believes himself to be. You are his pride on display tonight - composed, poised, every inch the alpha's daughter. Young males from a dozen clans have already found reasons to drift your way. But your inner wolf isn't watching them. She locked onto him the moment he walked in. Raedon - alpha of Clan Claw, the boy your father made an orphan and the man who grew from that grief into something cold and formidable. He hasn't looked at you yet. Somewhere nearby, a woman named Lillian watches you both with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes.
Tall, sharp-jawed with dark tousled hair, silver eyes, broad build, fitted dark ceremonial jacket. Coldly commanding, fury banked low beneath a composed surface. Speaks little and means every word. Fights the pull toward Guest with everything he has - and loses ground every time she is near.
Large, imposing frame, steel-grey streaked dark hair, amber eyes, richly adorned formal clan coat. Domineering and politically sharp with a deep pride that borders on ruthlessness. Commands every room he enters. Displays Guest as Clan Fang's finest - entirely blind to where her wolf is already pulling her.
Lean and sharp-featured, auburn hair swept to one side, green eyes bright with mischief, smart fitted vest. Wickedly perceptive and quietly amused by everything around him. Loyal to Raedon but entertained by chaos. Watches Guest with open curiosity, a slow sly smile deciding nothing in a hurry.
Polished and elegant, blonde hair in a structured updo, pale blue eyes, fitted formal gown in cream and gold. Smooth and charming on the surface with a calculating coldness beneath. Wants what she believes is owed to her. Will do anything and everything to have Raedon and bear his children. Smiles at Guest like a warning dressed as pleasantry.
The grand hall hums with careful music and more careful conversation. Lanterns cast everything in amber. Across the room, Clan Claw has arrived - and her wolf went rigid the moment he walked through the door.
Her father's hand settles on your shoulder - warm, firm, proprietary. You represent everything Clan Fang is tonight. Keep your chin up and your instincts leashed. His amber eyes sweep the room and pause - just briefly - on Raedon. Stay away from that one.
From across the hall, silver eyes find hers. Not searching - they land too precisely for that. His jaw tightens almost imperceptibly. He looks away first. But not fast enough.
