Seeing his humble attitude–and the fact that he hadn’t let out a single whimper while getting his tail kicked earlier–the three warriors decided to cut him some slack. He was officially part of the crew.

Adelaide, however, had one more question, “You’re in the Obsidian Guard. Aren’t you worried about your bosses coming down on you for seeking out Paisley? Lycan Erasmus is incredibly paranoid about the Blackthorns right now.”

Alfred answered with a stiff, respectful bow.

“I don’t care. If I have the skills, my career will find its footing eventually. But if I don’t sharpen my edge now, even if Lycan Erasmus uses me today, I won’t be able to hold that position tomorrow.”

“If a stronger wolf comes along and takes my spot because I was too lazy to train, that’s real humiliation. I’m young; I can afford to wait.”

Adelaide nodded slowly. She liked his clarity.

It was rare to find a wolf who stayed that grounded after so much bad luck. It seemed Lance’s intuition about trusting him wasn’t misplaced after all.

Once Alfred left, Avery drifted into the room like a ghost.

He stared at the pile of gifts Alfred had brought, but for the first time in history, he didn’t dive in headfirst. Normally, he would have been halfway through the boxes by now, pocketing anything shiny.

A few weeks ago, Avery had taken his entire year’s earnings back to the Ancient Moon Pack. Instead of getting a pat on the back, his Alpha and Luna gave him a lecture.

He’d spent a fortune on flashy, cheap jewelry and trendy perfumes, which they saw as a total waste of

money.

But the very next day, every she–wolf in the pack was wearing the jewelry and smelling like roses.

Even the butler admitted, “There’s no harm in the ladies dressing up, especially with the Winter Solstice coming.”

The Ancient Moon Luna, who was a softie at heart, eventually stopped nagging.

But the night before Avery headed back to the capital, his Alpha called him into the study for a heart–to- heart.

“We might be poor, Avery, but we’ve been poor a long time with our honor intact. If someone gives you a gift, say thank you and accept it. but if they don’t give it, taking it by force or stealth is just plain rude. It shames the pack.”

Avery had been moved by the speech, but he couldn’t help but ask, “So, back when I was a pup and you sent me to pick fights with the neighbor’s kids so you could demand ‘rent compensation‘ when I lost… was that an honor thing?”

He was almost kicked out of the pack on the spot for that one.

So, this year, he’d sworn to the Moon Goddess to be a “civilized” wolf.

“Not gonna look?” Paisley asked, watching Avery stare at the gifts until his eyes practically popped out of

his head.

Avery took eep breath, puffed out his chest, and looked righteous. “That’s your stuff. I’m not a rude person.”

Adelaide and Paisley nearly choked on their coffee.

“I’m sorry, who are you and what have you done with Avery?” Paisley asked, looking at him like he’d grown a second head.

“You? Not rude? Then who was the guy who used to steal my private stash of liquor and ‘borrow‘ my daggers permanently?”

“That was the old me. Things are different now,” Avery said with a dead serious shake of his head. “I am now a wolf of… refined character.”

He tried to think of a fancier word to describe himself, but his vocabulary failed him.

Paisley rolled her eyes and started opening the boxes.

Inside were two bottles of aged brandy, a pair of exquisite silver candlesticks, and some high–grade magical herbs.

“Take ‘em.”

Paisley shoved the whole pile toward Avery.

“These are for the Alpha and Luna of the Ancient Moon Pack. They looked a bit thin last time I saw them; they could use the herbs and the spirits.”

Avery’s eyes lit up. If Paisley gave them to him, it was legal! If was fair game!

He gathered the gifts into his arms with lightning speed and gave a very polite bow.
