The stories my mother would tell me about mates as a kid made it sound so nice and I couldn’t wait to be able to find him. I would dream about a mate that treated me like a princess and worshiped the ground I walked on. A mate that made his love known to me every second of the day, held me tight and kissed me with passion like mama used to tell me about. The moon goddess failed me.On my sixteenth birthday when my wolf never came,My dad always said I was a late bloomer, that gave me hope. But with each passing year my wolf never came.

As I got into my teenage years my father started explaining a little at times on how the kingdom was run and things to do and what not to do.
