Chapter 219: Reconciliation at the Moonlight Carnival
(Third person’s POV)
Ethan Quinn arrived alone at the Moonlight Carnival Grounds, his usual confident demeanor reced by nervous energy. He hadn’t been there for a few minutes when Lily also arrived, her long ck hair catching
the afternoon sunlight.
Seeing Lily, Ethan’s eyes deepened with longing. He wanted to say something to bridge their cold war, but Lily directly ignored him and said to Reba Frost: “Reba, didn’t your brothere today<i>?</i><i>” </i>
“My brother said he’ll be here soon,” Reba replied, ncing between Ethan and Lily with knowing eyes.
Just then, Lily noticed a couple not far away near the carnival entrance. She pointed them out to Reba. “That man looks like your brother Gabriel Andrews.”
Reba squinted in the direction Lily indicated, then nodded with confirmation. “That is indeed my brother.”
Lily’s curiosity piqued as she studied the she–wolf beside Gabriel. “Is that his college girlfriend Sophie Shaw<i>?</i><i>” </i>
Reba confirmed with a knowing smile, her eyes twinkling with amusement at her brother’s unusual choice.
The group, including Olivia Winters and Connor Rivers, found themselves face to face at the carnival entrance. Ethan stepped forward to make introductions, his Alpha manners overriding his nervousness.
“Everyone, I’d like you to meet Sophie Shaw,” he said, gesturing toward the petite she–wolf beside Gabriel.
Sophie was a pretty and demure college student with long ck hair andrge expressive eyes. When she spoke, her voice was soft and melodious, carrying a hint of shyness.
“Hello everyone, it’s nice to meet you,” Sophie said quietly, her cheeks flushing pink under the attention.
The group exchanged greetings, surprised by Gábriel’s change in taste. The Rivers pack heir typically dated morous and mature she–wolves from elite pack families, not innocent college students.
“Everyone’s here, let’s go in,” Reba suggested cheerfully, trying to ease the slight tension in the air.
Taking the VIP channel to skip the line due to Connor’s Alpha status, Lily led the way. She seemed still upset with Ethan and deliberately created distance between them, her steps quick and purposeful.
Olivia and Connor followed closely, their hands asionally brushing as they walked. Ethan hurried behind, trying to catch up with Lily, his expression growing more desperate with each step.
Reba noted that her brother seemed easy to get along with as she watched Gabriel attentively guide Sophie through the crowd.
Sophie responded with a quiet, shy reply that reflected her gentle nature. “Gabriel has been very kind to me<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Lily, loving thrills and still channeling her frustration with Ethan, invited Reba and Olivia to join her on <b>the </b>roller coaster ride. Her eyes sparkled with mischief and determination.
“Come on, let’s try the biggest roller coaster first,” she dered, pointing toward the towering steel <b>structure</b>. Reba declined immediately, her face paling slightly. “I’ll pass. My fear of heights is <b>stronger </b>than my

werewolf courage.”
Olivia offered to apany Lily, her natural kindness overriding her own nervousness. “I’ll <b>go </b><b>with </b><b>you</b><b>, </b><b>Lilly- </b>
Connor and Ethan followed suit, both Alphas wanting to protect their respective mates during <b>the </b>intense ride. Their protective instincts kicked in automatically.
Lily then imed the front row of the roller coaster, herpetitive werewolf nature showing. She slid <b>into </b>the seat with practiced ease, her excitement palpable.
Connor asked Olivia if she was nervous about the ride, his voice gentle with concern.
“I’m a little bit nervous,” Olivia admitted honestly, her amber eyes reflecting her apprehension.
Connor instinctively took her hand to ease her fear, his Alpha protective instincts kicking in. His warm touch sentfort through their mate bond.
As the roller coaster slowly started its ascent, Ethan let out an unexpected scream. The sound was high–pitched and thoroughly undignified for an Alpha.
Lily, sitting beside him, rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Why did youe if you were scared?” she questioned, though her tone carried a hint of fondness beneath the irritation.
Ethan tried to exin it was for her, attempting to show his dedication despite his fear. “I wanted to be brave for you, Lily.”
But as the roller coaster picked up speed and plunged downward, he let out a loud, undignified scream <b>that </b>echoed across the carnival grounds. His Alphaposurepletely abandoned him.
Connor remained calm and collected, holding Olivia’s hand tightly. His Alphaposure stayed intact even during the thrilling ride, providing steady reassurance.
After the ride ended, Ethan stumbled off and threw up near a nearby trash bin. His face was green and his legs shaky from the intense experience.
Lily’s anger melted into concern as she patted his back and handed him a bottle of water. “You’re such a scaredy–cat,” she said teasingly, but with obvious affection returning to her voice.
Reba chuckled from the sidelines, realizing that her n to reconcile the couple had worked perfectly. Her matchmaking instincts had proven sessful once again.
Connor handed Olivia a bottle of water, asking if she felt dizzy from the ride. His concern was evident in his gentle tone.
“I’m okay,” Olivia said, epting the water gratefully.
Connor suggested they rest before trying another attraction. “Let’s take a break and see what else catches
our interest.”
While they had been on the roller coaster, Gabriel had apanied Sophie on the gentler carousel ride. He was taking pictures of her with his phone and showing unusual attentiveness for the typically casual Rivers
pack member.
Olivia and Reba exchanged knowing nces, noting how rare it was for Gabriel <b>to </b><b>be </b><b>so </b>devoted <b>to </b><b>one </b>she–wolf. This suggested Sophie might be more than just another casual date.
Lily, her mood nowpletely restored and eager for more excitement, <b>suggested </b><b>they </b><b>visit </b><b>the </b><b>haunted </b>

house attraction next. Her eyes lit up with renewed enthusiasm.
This caused Ethan’s face to pale further as his werewolf hearing picked up the screams from inside. But he reluctantly agreed, not wanting to disappoint her again.
“If you want to go, then we’ll go,” he said bravely, though his voice trembled slightly.
Olivia, Connor, Gabriel, and Sophie decided to join them for the spooky adventure. The group moved toward the ominous–looking haunted house entrance.
As soon as they entered the haunted house, Ethan immediately <i>took </i>Lily’s hand. His Alpha pride was forgotten in the face of manufactured terror.
“Lily, I’m scared,” he admitted sheepishly, his grip tightening on her fingers.
Lily looked at him with exasperation mixed with amusement. Her earlier anger hadpletely dissolved into
fond tolerance.
Ethan moved closer to Lily, his voice dropping to a whisper. “What if the fake ghosts grab <i>me </iter?”
Lily said with mock annoyance but growing fondness: “Those are all humans dressed up in costumes, what’s there to be afraid of for a werewolf like you?”
