Once a year, on the Full Blue Moon, which typically falls sometime in the end of the year depending on the celestial calendar, the annual Mating Ritual is held on the Sacred Land. The Mating Ritual is mandatory for all unmated wolves over the age of twenty by order of the Alpha-King. Twenty is the age when you become a fully matured wolf, or in other words, ripe for the mating.
The elders always say that the Mating Ritual is a beautiful thing, when young love sprouts, but we all know they mean when the next alphas and lunas are born. But really the Mating Ritual is a blood bath waiting to happen, where alphas kill other alphas for their prize-excuse me-mates. But it's not just the males who kill, but also females who kill for the best of the best of males. And this year will be no different.
Accalia Valenthia Arhein - 20 years old, born of alpha blood, younger sister to the alpha of the The Golden Delta Pack, strongest fighter and honorary warrior in her pack.
Dariston Royd Aushaira - 20 years old, born of alpha blood, oldest of his three siblings, strongest fighter/warrior in all of Aushaira, heir to Aushaira, soon to be Alpha-King.
What will happen when these two meet?
This is my first ever story and I will update as often as I can, I'm still a student guys. I want this story to be different than most werewolf stories, but there will be a couple cliches in here, it's inevitable guys. I've read a LOT of werewolf stories and I got tired of the same old stories and figured there wasn't enough of these types, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Adelaide meets her mate on the day she turns eighteen. However, she has a secret that no one knows about, not even her best friend. How long will she be able to keep this secret from her mate? And what will happen when he finds out?

I never heard him make a sound, so his voice makes me jump as I hear him say "I can smell him on you" from right behind me. I turn around and dread fills me as I look into his dark eyes. They're glowing from the light from the fridge. I stumble over my thoughts but manage to squeak out "I thought you were out on a mission for your Alpha?"
"I finished, and now I'm back." His eyes boring a hole through my head. "And I can tell that you've been slutting it up" he says with a look that makes me tremble.
I start to shake my head, to try and persuade him that I haven't been doing anything wrong, but he forcefully grabs my jaw and stops me from shaking it. "You really shouldn't lie to me Adelaide, now I'm just going to have to teach you a lesson" he spits out at me.

This isn't you typical story about werewolves, but I love the idea of mates, so follow these young adults on their journey with a supernatural twist.
