Chapter 6: The Silver-Eyed Truth
Elara clutched the moon pendant in her hand, the voice's warning still ringing in her head.
The one who hates you most might be the one you need to trust. Could that be Kael?
She slipped the necklace over her head and tucked it under her shirt. Its cool metal warmed against her skin as she prepared for dinner.
The pack house dining room took her breath away. A huge table stretched beneath a crystal chandelier, with more forks and spoons at each spot than Elara had ever owned.
"You're on time. Good." Alpha Marcus sat at the head of the table.
Luna Evelyn was on his right, Kael on his left. Ronan waved Elara over to the empty seat beside him, across from Darian.
"Our guest of honor," Ronan announced with a wink. Kael's jaw clenched.
"She's not a guest. She's a duty."
"Kael," Luna Evelyn warned. Servants brought out steaming plates of food.
Elara had never seen so much food in one place.
"So, Elara," Alpha Marcus started, "Ruth tells me your transformation is progressing. Your wolf might emerge soon." Elara nearly choked on her water.
