Catriona's POVFor the umpteenth time this morning, my back hits the ground hard, stealing the breath from my lungs. "You are so predictable." My sister Hela scowls down at me on the training mat while I try to catch my breath. "Stand up. How many times do I have to tell you? You can't attack while leaving yourself open. You'll get yourself killed.""I'm trying." I growl and push to my knees, resisting the urge to rub over my rib where her boot connected. There might be something fundamentally wrong with my lungs because they are just not getting enough air. "It doesn't look like it." She growls. "Quit stalling and stand up."I glare at her but press my lips shut against the thousand excuses begging to spill forth. She is so much bigger than me, all my siblings are. They are all confident fighters that have never had to second-guess themselves.

The myth passed down for a thousand years says that the werewolf community was once besieged by powerful wolf-like abominations called the Orkeli and we were losing the war until the werewolves merged all the clans, bringing forth the strongest of their warriors to push them

Catriona's POV"No matter what happens, you must persevere until your mating ceremony where..." Mum trails off, her pale skin turning crimson red and I grimace. "I know what happens after the mating ceremony, Mum." I say to save us both the pains of the details of this conversation. "In fact, most people don't even wait for the mating ceremony to get into it." I add, unable to resist teasing her a bit. "No, my dear it is different." She says and sighs sufferingly. "The... coming together of mates is different from regular sex, you must be a full wolf to survive it, it is why your Father set the condition.""That he must help me manifest my wolf before we can have the mating ceremony." I say saucily, a little sensitive on the topic of Dad. "Precisely." Mum rises and paces. "This was never the plan, I don't know why that bull-headed giant won't just pick another mate to avoid these complications."I fold my hands and wait for her to calm down. In a way, my parents' worst nightmare c
