When a messenger appears with a formal order from the king of her world, Aaliyah is given a second chance at redeeming herself, a chance at earning forgiveness from her father. Returning to the werewolf realm of Askara'velmanti at the height of full moon, Aaliyah happens upon one very fine young man and she spends the night with him, celebrating the tradition that they are accustomed to.
