I wake to an intoxicating smell of sandalwood and cinnamon. I stand, comb my hair with my fingers and straighten out my cardigan to feel a bit more presentable.

  It's our mate! You must go to him now. Storm says, excitedly.

  I know. Let's go. I say.

  Running downstairs and down the hallway, the scent gets stronger. It leads me to the bedrooms belonging to high-ranking pack members. I become nervous and less excited.

  We’ve never been in this hallway before. I tell Storm.

  There! That room! He’s in there! Storm says.

  Standing in front of a large brown wooden door, I’m about to knock, lose my courage, and take a step back.

  He’s in there. Knock! Storm yells.

  I can't do it. I say.

  Turning to walk away, the door flings open, and I make instant eye contact with Alpha Tate.

  ‘Mate!’ I say, in a trance.

  I hear a chuckle a door down. Someone is there.

  ‘You’re kidding me? Hope is your mate, Alpha Tate?’ Beta Sam asks.

  I shake my head and break the trance between us. He snarls and growls at Beta Sam. I step back, out of fear.

  ‘This can't be right,’ I whisper.

  ‘No, it's not right. You’re not fit to be Luna or my mate. I can't accept this curse from the Moon Goddess,’ he says, and I take a step back.

  ‘I, Alpha Tate, of the Blackwood pack, reject you, Hope, as my Mate and Luna!’ He spits, and we fall to the ground in pain, and my eyes well up with tears that run down my face.
