LyraI couldn’t sleep that night.Knowing you’re about to lose your home would do that to you. But that didn’t stop my mind from returning again and again to the grey eyes of a man I do not even know. I think about the way its stare woke my dormant wolf up. I don’t know what it means but it scares me just as much as it excites me. My wolf went quiet again after he disappeared, but thankfully not like before. Now I can still feel her presence and for that I’m grateful. Although it seems like she’s just waiting for him to come back.The first light of the day filtered through the window as I pull my hair back.

I had been standing at the edge of the room as I always did at gatherings like this, not wanting to be noticed. That was until his eyes met mine. I could still feel the sparks where his hand closed around my wrist. Couldn’t he feel it? Why then is he doing this?The greatest thing that could happen to any werewolf happened to me just twenty minutes ago.I found my mate. The one person picked for you by the moon goddess. The one who is supposed to love and care for you for the rest of your life.At least I thought that was how it was going to be.One minute I am standing at the edge of the room trying my best not to be noticed, the next
