Hey!
It's come to my attention, that some of you haven't read a werewolf book, before!
And that's okay!
Since this is a werewolf book, allow me to introduce you!
First off, in this type of story, you gotta know the specifics.
'''''
In this kind of story, werewolves don't morph into this half man-half wolf monster on full moons. Instead, they look like humans and can shift at any time. Most wolves shift when they are 16 or so.
Most werewolves have mates. By mates, I mean "soulmates". It is said that the Moon Goddess chooses each and every mate. They are the perfect half to each other. Mates can be either both werewolves, or one werewolf and one human. In most books, when mates find each other, one (or both) of them says "Mate" or "Mine." This is a sign of acceptance and marking territory. After meeting their mate, they can either reject them, or accept them. If they are both rejected, they can part ways and never see each other again. If they both accept, then that leads to them moving in together, and eventually completing the mating process.
The mating process (in most books) is 4 parts:
1. Acceptance
2. Moving in together
3. The Marking
4. Tying the Knot
We've already covered part 1 and 2.
The Marking is when the male bites the female on the collarbone. It only hurts at the beginning, then the feelings of euphoria take place; she either feels loopy and ecstatic, or she feels really tired. (This will not be included in MY story)
Step Four, is basically either solved by marriage or doing the deed. Sometimes, it's both. (This will not be included in MY story)
And don't worry! If you're not comfortable reading that stuff (I'm not either) most books cut out the mature scenes, or at least have warnings at the beginning.
Also, in some books, there is something called "The Heat" that takes place. (This will not be included in MY story)
It is after werewolf mates have found each other and typically happens after the Marking. It is when the female (and sometimes the male) is overcome by a burning sensation. It was created by the Moon Goddess to help speed the mating process up. You see, the Heat happens every full moon. And it can't be stopped until the mates complete the mating process.

Now that the mate stuff is taken care of; we have the Werewolf hierarchy.
The highest ranking werewolf is the Alpha. An Alpha's job is to protect his pack, and make sure they grow and prosper. He is also in charge of decision- making. His rank is only matched by his mate, the Luna. The 2nd in command is the Beta. It is his job to support the Alpha and to carry out his orders. His match is his mate. And the 3rd in command is the Gamma. His job is commonly to train the werewolf warriors. His match is his mate.

Next, we have the different types of groups.
