“Raven, sweetheart, come sit with me. We need to go over a few things.” My stomach knots. Paperwork always means rules. Expectations. Timelines. End dates. I sit, folding my hands in my lap. “What do you need from me to age out?” I ask quietly. The room goes still. Mrs. Connor, who’s been stirring something on the stove, turns sharply. “Age out?” Ms. Carter freezes. “I… was going to talk to you about that.” Emily’s eyes widen. Noah steps into the doorway, phone forgotten. I swallow. “I turn eighteen on Halloween. So… next month. I want to know what I need to do. For when the placement ends.”

There are many celebrations on this day, the biggest of which is the Coming of Age Party. This party is not only to celebrate coming of age but also to help those pack members who have not found a mate to meet more people of the opposite sex.

You can sign anything.” “If I am from the Crescentmoon pack, then why do I need to sign anything?”

As the holiday break neared, she announced in the dorm, "Tomorrow's my 18th birthday, and my dad is hosting a coming-of-age ceremony for me. You all have to come! I'll have the driver pick you up tomorrow." I instinctively looked for an excuse to turn it down. "Sorry, Sophie, I've been staying up late studying this semester.
