The seasonal ball- it's a big deal in the were city of Alareim. Every citizen attends; it's the main event of the season when all werewolves under the moon get to enjoy each other's company under one roof; when the lowest of classes get to mix with the highest class. With Caelia's nineteenth birthday two weeks past, the Summer Ball arrives, meaning she is finally able to find her mate. And that, she does. What she doesn't expect is that he is the next Alpha of Alareim, the current Alpha's twenty seven year old son, Aramis. Caelia has always dreamed of the moment she would find her mate, that they would run to each other and embrace, take time to know each other and be happy together. So imagine her dismay when she discovers that the next Alpha of Alareim is as cold as the rumors she has heard. *content intended for a mature audience who can occasionally expect detailed sex and violent scenes* *title picture is not owned by me*
