Intro. Elara, with eyes the color of a summer sky and hair like spun moonlight, had loved Ronan since they were children. Ronan, heir to the formidable Blackwood werewolf pack, was everything she wasn't – strong, fierce, untamed. Their shared childhood was a tapestry woven with whispered secrets and stolen glances under the silver glow of the moon. But Elara’s love was a one-sided devotion, a secret garden blooming unseen. Ronan, charming and cruel in equal measure, played with her affections, his heart untouched. One fateful autumn evening, while chasing a rogue firefly near the whispering river, Elara slipped, the icy water swallowing her whole. She drowned, her life extinguished like a snuffed candle. But death, it seemed, wasn't the end. An ancient prophecy, whispered only among the oldest members of the Blackwood pack, spoke of a ritual and Ethan's brother, Darius performed it instead and forbid anyone from telling her.
