Kiana The Wolfless Mate

JESSICA'S POV****

I could feel my heart being ripped out of my chest standing right before my long-time boyfriend and best friend, their hands clasped together.

I narrowed my eyes at them, my full blossom pink lips pressed together watching a smirk appear on Zoe's tin lips.

It was a full moon and also my 18th birthday, which I had been looking forward to it because everyone at the moon shadow pack had mocked and laughed at me for years because I was Wolfless and the only girl of my age without a wolf.

My mother has vehemently assured me that i would finally get my wolf on my 18th birthday.

But it was the full moon, the one everyone had been waiting for because it was a Lunar night, one that was regarded as the blood moon night, and the feast was to be held within all packs in Hilltown.

Alpha Landon and I have been dating since college, when Landon became Alpha of the pack, he met his wolf and realized that i was his mate but I had not been able to confirm it without the existence of my wolf.

I was so excited when i was been told that he was my mate and I dreamt so much of the day when I would finally meet my mate and be able to feel the mate bond that everyone had talked so much about.

But as the festival proceeded, i could not stop anticipating the feeling that came along with my wolf, the rush of adrenaline accompanied by my mate.

But nothing was forthcoming, there weren't any new feelings, neither was there a newfound strength, everything felt the same and to top it all, I could not find Landon anywhere around the festival ground.

my mother Vivian who sat with the rest of the elderly wolves could not stop staring at me keenly. she could hear my every heartbeat anxious and pacing frantically.

“ Jessica dear, what is going on?”. Vivian finally stride over to me seeing that I wasn't enjoying the festival with the restlessness that I was feeling.

“ Mother what is happening! Why haven't I met my wolf”. I cried out, my light skin poring sweat out.

“ I told you to calm down, your wolf can sense when you are anxious and wouldn't want to meet you in such a state”.

“ Everyone else has met their wolf, Zoe is going to find her mate soon while I sit here unable to accept the mate bond that I haven't felt”.

“ Landon understands that you are his mate, and it doesn't matter if you are unable to identify it or not, what matters is the both of you love each and that is the bond that matters”.

Vivian trailed her fingers through my brown long hair that was cascading down my shoulder, my warm brown eyes filled with worry that was slowly fading.

“ But mother, I can't find Landon anywhere, where could he be? ”.

“ He is the Alpha, he might be performing some rituals at the ancestral hall, so let him be”.

Vivian could tell that my heartbeat had calmed down, she tugged me around and dragged me back to a seat.

It was almost drawn, the blood moon fading away into the sky and the festival was slowly coming to an end with families going back to their various homes. Life animals were killed to appraise the moon goddess for showing mercy and strength she granted to them.
