Tristan’s POV After I had marked my mate, the next ritual that would follow was the running ceremony. It is a ritual that must be performed because that's how it has been done even before I was born. You know, like a tradition that dates back generations. It is during this ceremony that werewolves who don't have a mate and can’t wait for their fated mate, probably because they felt they had waited for too long, would be asked to choose a mate during some activities after the run. “Tell me more about this running ceremony,” Callista demanded, her lips protruding in a sulky pout. “You really seem eager to know,” I giggled, tauntingly. “As the Luna of this pack, that I am,” she paused and squared her shoulders arrogantly as a small smile appeared at the corner of her lips. “Don’t you think there are things I need to know?” She stated it with a wide grin. “Okay, since you insisted, your highness,” I teased, succumbing to her anxiousness. "Yes, my lord, I’m all ears.” I burst into a

Lily’s POV~~ I couldn’t believe it. Beta Andrian’s wolf is light brown,with soft and fluffy fur nipping at mine. I felt a rush of adrenaline, and my stomach was twirling with excitement, loving the butterflies that were swarming in my stomach. Even though I was in my wolf form, I was on cloud nine, floating with happiness and excitement. Since the night after the moonlight chase, we have always spent time together. The Alpha was also busy with our Luna Natura, each of us enjoying our newly found love. “Are you sure you are okay, Delta?” I asked when I noticed she was far gone in her thoughts."Yeah, I’m okay.” She responded, flashing me a fake smile. I could see sadness weighing heavy on her face like a stone sinking in the ocean. I can’t tell if she was jealous of what I had told her earlier about Beta Adrian and me or because she had lost the Alpha to someone else. She had always joked and talked about being the pack’s Luna Natura during our combat training sessions, but it's so

Back at the Wolfsong Dominion PackCassius’s POV I traced the rim of my coffee mug with a heavy heart, lost in the memories that refused to fade. I was enjoying the view of the woods in front of me on the balcony of Alpha’s palace, as I was savoring the freshness of the atmosphere. War! War!! War!!! It was all over. We had fought. We had won. We have shown them what it takes to be the most powerful pack.During the war, I won’t skip the fact that we lost most of our skilled warriors, even though we had won. The Alpha had been very ill since then. “Hey man,” Garret tapped my back as I jolted back from my thoughts. I beamed him a little smile. “How long have you been here?” I asked with my gaze fixed on him. “I noticed you weren’t with the alpha, so I decided to check you here, and I guessed right. I just got here, though.” Garret explained. “You seem lost; what are you brooding about?” Garret asked with a raised brow. “Yeah, but it’s nothing much, man,” I sighed. I gather my thou

Cassius’s POVIt was the night of the mating ceremony. It was a ritual for all the pack members to gather around the huge, secluded slab of rock, free of towering trees, where the moon was reflected in its full bloom. It was in this exact place that all the members of our pack had their first shift. Before we proceeded with the ritual, there was going to be a little speech from my father as Alpha, and we were all waiting expectantly for him. A few minutes later, he walked out of the pack house and right onto the podium. “Esteemed members of the Wolfsong Dominion Pack,” he began, looking down at everyone. Garret, Landon, Selene, and I were seated at the back of the podium, but we were still visible to the rest of the pack members. I got lost in my thoughts for a second, the responsibilities I was about to be saddled with dawning on me. Garret nudged me with his shoulder, bringing me back to the present. ". . . a ritual that my heir, Cassius, takes over from me as the next Alpha of o

Lily’s POV~~Wait! Am I afraid to tell them the truth? I guess I’m not. I am trying to protect Luna Callista and, at the same time, don’t want to ruin Elowen’s reputation. I should just spill it right here. “She even asked me to...” I almost spilled it out, but thanks to the moon goddess and the maid that came in. I was able to control the rage twirling inside of me.I need her to see that I am very concerned about her and not perceive me as being jealous of Delta Elowen.Why does she even want the Delta to come eat with us? That’s going to give her the chance to lure the maids into achieving her evil plans. It shouldn’t even be happening, and I’m going to make sure it doesn’t. Luna Callista doesn’t even know that her life is at stake, and I’m here trying to savage the situation, but she isn’t ready to listen to me. Is she so stupid that she can’t see through Delta Elowen’s pretense? I don’t want bad things to happen to Callista anymore. She is just twenty-one and has gone throug
