Mated To My Enemy's Rival
While I was still stunned into silence, they broke my skin, and I felt the warmth of my own blood drip down to my collarbone.
Then a stinging pain radiated from the place of contact, and I felt my skin sizzle as the mark of the Luna was burned onto my neck.
The crowd erupted in cheers. I exhaled slowly through my nose and said nothing, keeping my eyes fixed on the middle distance while the cheers got even louder.
'That's it then,' I thought. 'I guess I’m married.'
From being rejected and cast out of the Bloodwyn pack, nearly dying in the forest, and somehow surviving one of the worst mights of my life, to becoming the Luna of an even greater pack.
