When Does Apple Bloom Get Her Cutie Mark Novels & Stories

Leon held a grand marking ceremony for me. The location was the ancestral land of his pack, Silver Moon Valley. The entire valley had been decorated into a sea of silver and white. Moonstones and fireflies were everywhere. It looked like something straight out of a fairy tale. Since I was allergic to pollen, there wasn't a single real flower at the venue. Every flower was handmade. There were roses, lilies, and daisies. Each one looked vivid and lifelike. If you leaned closer, you could even see the delicate patterns on the petals.

Zane’s fingers wiped gently at my face, but instead of fading, the mark began to spread. His touch activated the special ink. The stain bled across my skin like a disease, stretching from my right cheek down to my jaw. "Damn it," he cursed. "This mark is more stubborn than I thought." I must have looked pathetic. I knew it for sure when I heard Dahlia’s unconcealed giggle from behind him. My humiliation was her greatest pleasure. "Alpha," she said suddenly. "It's almost time. The Alliance's Full Moon Gala is about to start."

"Are you scared?" "No," Cale said. "Because tomorrow... the flower blooms." "What flower?" Cale pointed to a pot on the deck. A dead, dry stick in dirt. "That one," Cale said. "I watered it. In Timeline 45. It blooms blue." "It looks dead, Cale." "It is dormant. Wait." They waited. The sun set. The stars came out. And in the morning, when they woke up... The flower was blue. A forget-me-not.

"I’m sure." The black-market healer tried to persuade me one last time. "But this is the Silver Moon Pack’s highest Alpha mark. Countless she-wolves dream of bearing this claim. If you wash it off, you’ll lose all your privileges within the territory. You’ll be treated as a packless Rogue." "I want to be a Rogue." I lay down on the cold operating table. "Please, just get on with it." "Very well. Once the procedure is done, I’ll inject you with a high-grade Alpha Scent Masker—it will completely cloak your natural scent for a week. The Alpha won’t suspect a thing."
