๑♡๑DIANA๑♡๑ Dusk came fast. Soon, the grand hall was packed with every unmated wolf in the territory. The air was thick with merriment. Laughter echoed beneath glittering chandeliers. Music swirled softly. Excited whispers drifted across the grand hall. Tonight was special. Everyone anticipated the moment when the moon goddess would finally reveal their fated mates. At eighteen most wolves find their fated mate. There were exceptional cases, of course. But growing up, I heard the stories. The mate bond was the goddess’s greatest gift to us.

I sighed, just wanting to get past this night without any unfortunate incident. I kept my head down, and balanced a tray filled with crystal flutes, weaving through the se

Sharp silver-grey eyes watched us approach, like hawks awaiting their prey.
