25 parte Ongoing MatureAfter four years at the royal academy, Dice returns home a different wolf stronger, sharper, and more haunted than ever. Once, he and Layton were inseparable childhood friends, until tragedy struck when Dice's mother died protecting Layton during a rogue attack. The grief twisted Dice into someone cold and distant, and he left without looking back.
Layton, now training to become the pack's healer under Elder John, has grown into a calm, grounded omega with rare spiritual powers and the gift of sight. He's connected to the earth and the goddess Luna in ways most wolves can't understand. But beneath his serene exterior lies a quiet ache for the boy who left, and for the bond they now share but don't fully understand.
As the two navigate their reunion, old wounds surface alongside the undeniable pull of the mate bond. Between pack duties, lingering guilt, and whispers of fate, Dice and Layton must decide whether they can rebuild what was broken... or if some scars run too deep to heal.
