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.
