Devran is a handsome, dominant, certainly arrogant, and aggressive Alpha who despises humans... Mira is a human. Both docile and beautiful. When this human finds herself in the lives of werewolves everything begins to change. Both tension and attra...

Looking in the mirror I was amazed at myself. I felt pretty today. The dress was so flattering and my hair was swept up elegantly aside from the fallen pieces to frame my face. I wasn't in make-up, just some gold shimmer which highlighted the light of my eyes and the warmth of my skintone. It was Melanie's idea and it was a good one. She looked stunning herself. Her thick browned locks were down but she still had her red signature lip.
We each wore a wrist cuff that complimented the overall look and because our dresses were long we wore flat sandals for comfort. They weren't really seen anyways. Jasper told me he had some behind the scenes stuff to do and that I should go with Melanie to the area where the ceremony would be held.
So, once we were ready we walked outside to join the others. It was just after sunset and the sky had dimmed until it was moonlight lighting the sky. I thought we'd be going to the town square but we turned and headed for the treelines. "Where are we going?" I asked. "You'll see," she smiled.
Ahead of us past the treelines was a path lit with lanterns beautifully. As we followed the path it led us to the clearing Jasper, Mel, and I frequented only this time it was lit up with candles, twinkling lights, and decorative lanterns. There were flowers scattered and you could see where the ceremony would take place and where the people could stand. We sort of surrounded the area so that the Alpha, Beta, Delta would be in the middle of our crowd of people.
"Once the ceremony is over we start a fire and this will essentially become a dance floor" Melanie explained, pointing to different spots in the clearing. "It's absolutely stunning..I've never seen anything like this" I whispered more to myself than her. It was like being in an enchanted forest and I was mesmerized.
When an elderly man appeared in the crowd people began turning towards him. I noticed he had a ceremonial garb he was dressed in and after he'd been led into the circle everyone got quiet.
"Hello everybody" his voice croaked. We all greeted him back in unison. "Tonight's such a special night and I feel honored to be seeing something like this for the second time in my life. Tonight we let the Moon Goddess lead us into a new cycle. A new Alpha" he addressed the crowd and people clapped.
A guitar started playing in the distance and I guess it was a cue that the Alpha, Beta, and Delta with their families would be walking down the lantern lit path. I grasped hands with Melanie who was standing by her parents now and we waited to see everyone appear. Sure enough the families appeared and instead of clapping everyone bowed their hands so I followed suit.
They walked up the lantern path and into the middle of the circle. The rest of us just waited and watched. I wasn't right up front so I didn't have the best view but that's okay as long as I could see Jasper in his moment. I had brought his camera with me to take pictures. Jasper tried refusing but his mother and I tag-teamed against him and he caved.
As the leading families took their places I saw Jasper looking around and didn't realize until afterward that he was looking for me. He leaned over and said something to one of the gentlemen and when the man walked through the crowd he tapped me on the shoulder.
