After everything that had happened today, I figured the least I could do for Klaus was to offer him a place to rest. I showed him to the guest room, telling him to make himself at home, then quietly slipped away to my own bedroom, feeling the weariness settle in my bones. Amara excused herself not long after, mentioning that she wanted to take the chance to visit her aunt while she was here at the Black Moon Pack. I gave her a nod of approval, glad she had somewhere familiar to go amidst all the chaos. Inside the bedroom, I found Amanda sitting at the vanity, brushing her long hair in slow, graceful strokes. She looked radiant, the soft light of the afternoon sun from the glass windows catching the golden strands and highlighting the natural glow that seemed to grow stronger each day wit
