Guardian to Groom

Nora was small when her parents died on an expedition. Calvin, once a student of her mother's, took her in and became her father figure for twelve years. There is no blood tie between them, and Nora is now legally an adult. On her twenty-second birthday she confesses: her twelve-year love was never innocent, and she asks him to stop pretending the attraction is only one-sided.

At a gathering, Nora — now a PhD candidate researching Moonstone energy — is introduced to Paul, a handsome single man just back from abroad. The talk turns to Rebecca's gray fluorite necklace, a gift from Calvin. Legend says only someone blessed by the Moon Goddess can wear it; it also tracks residual Moonstone energy, and Nora is the one who studies exactly that. By the end of the opening arc, the girl who loved her guardian for twelve years is pushed into the guest seat, the fiancée wears the tracking necklace, and the promise Calvin once made is the one thing he cannot take back.

The answer is cold. Calvin says the only identity he will ever have to her is her father. His old kindness, he admits, was only pity, and the promise he made when she turned eighteen was just a line to quiet her. Then the news drops: Rebecca is moving into the house and will be its official mistress. Nora is told she may no longer call her guardian by his first name — the household rules have changed.

Nora, Calvin and Rebecca carry the opening arc.

Nora

The ward who confessed

A young brown-haired woman and PhD candidate researching Moonstone energy. Her parents died on an expedition when she was small, and Calvin took her in. Now legally an adult, she tells him her twelve-year love was never innocent — and quietly holds a field of knowledge no one at the party suspects.

Calvin

The guardian and Alpha King

Dark-haired, brooding, once a student of Nora's mother. He swore early on he would be with her one day, then spent a decade and a half raising her under one roof. He is also the Alpha King of the pack — and he chooses to call her his daughter rather than keep that old promise.

Rebecca

The fiancée moving in

Dark-haired, elegant, in a deep off-shoulder dress. The woman Calvin chose over Nora, moving in as the official mistress of the house and wearing the rare gray fluorite necklace Calvin gave her.
