~Heidi's Point Of View~
The heavy scent of white lilies and crushed pine needles fills the air. Heidi stands at the edge of the sacred clearing, her fingers trembling against the rough, warm wool of Lucan's arm.
She takes a breath, feeling her wolf stirring beneath her skin. The Moon Goddess had been clear in her dreams: the forest must be burned so the soil can thrive. To Heidi, the deaths, the blood, and the horrific melting of the brother she once loved were more than just tragedies—they were a cleansing. It was a brutal, divine surgery performed to cut the cancer from the Bellamy line.
She is no longer the girl who hides in the shadows of the Castell estate. She is the woman the Moon carved out of the wreckage. She is rigid, she is focused, but as the music starts, the armor around her heart cracks just enough for a single tear to threaten her lash line. This is it—the day she is officially being tied to one of the loves of her life.
