Thinking of Eugene’s rave reviews about the view from Yellowstone Mountain after a snowfall, Lance decided to push forward.

He turned to Adelaide and said, “The road ahead is getting pretty rough. If you’re tired or the cold is getting to you, just say the word. I’ll carry you.”

“I’m not that fragile, Lance. Don’t forget I’m a Gamma.”

With their fingers locked together, they began their ascent to the summit.

The snow was already past their ankles, and the narrow trail was choked with dried, thorny vines that acted like natural barbed wire.

A few times, the jagged thorns snagged on Lance’s expensive cashmere coat.

Lance awkwardly untangled a vine, caught Adelaide’s half–smirking expression, and quickly tried to save face.

“Nobody really comes up here, so the path is a bit of a mess. But trust me, Eugene said the view from the top is absolutely mind–blowing.”

“Mhm, I believe you.”

Adelaide offered a bright smile, her cheeks flushed a vibrant red from the biting wind, looking like a tempting red apple.

The higher they climbed, the worse Lance’s gut feeling became.

Looking around, there was nothing but charred, black, skeletal tree trunks and a monotonous, endless white void of snow.

If there were some bubbling streams, crisp white snow, and maybe a few winter plums for a pop of color, that would be romantic.

But this? This was a wasteland. Not a single living plant in sight.

“Eugene, I’m going to kill you,” Lance growled to himself.

When they got back, he was definitely going to toss that guy into the training camp for sc serious “re–education.”

But he was supposed to be the charming Alpha here; he couldn’t let their date end i

awkward stalemate.

Lance scanned the area and spotted a wide, steep slope to the north.

It was covered in a thick blanket of snow with no trees or boulders in the way–it was a natural ski run.

His eyes lit up. “Change of plans!”

He scooped Adelaide up by the waist. Leveraging his superhuman wolf agility, he blurred across the snow in a series of powerful leaps and sprints, cutting through the woods until they reached the peak.

Standing at the edge of the cliff, he pointed toward the horizon where the sun was beginning its slow descent.

“See? No flowers, but it’s still beautiful, right?”

“We can wait here for the sunset. And once the light fades, we’ll just slide straight down that slope! Trust me, it’ll be a total rush!”

nod.A

Adelaide gave him a fond, indulgent nod.

Before them lay a stark landscape of blinding white and skeletal black branches–like a raw, unedited charcoal sketch. It had a certain desolate, wild majesty to it.

The north wind lashed at her face, and her ears were starting to go numb.

Still, Adelaide forced a smile. “Alright. Let’s sit and wait for the sunset.”

Lance was finally having some fun, and she was more than willing to humor him.

They had over two hours until sunset, but the sky was already bruising over, the clouds hanging low and heavy.

She glanced at the male wolf beside her and thought, “Fine, I’d give my life for you.”

But sliding down the mountain? She figured Lance was just talking big. They had zero gear.

You needed at least a snowboard to tackle a slope that steep.

Lance, however, was dead serious. He stood up and stomped on the snow to test the density,

“The pack is thick enough,” he said confidently. We can just use our coats as sleds and sli down.”

Back in the war, he’d pulled off crazier stunts than this.

They sat side–by–side on the snow, Lance pulling Adelaide tight into his embrace to shield her.

The howling wind drowned out everything else the romance was effectively dead. Adelaide felt every bit of her energy being diverted to just staying warm.

She buried her face into his cedar–scented chest wondering for a split second if she’d actually lost her mind, sitting on a frozen mountain in the dead of winter.
