The guard repeats his qu

wing in his father's footsteps and hosting the mating ball but unfortunately, things didn't go as he planned. The Nightshade pack as always were ahead of him, somehow they had convinced the council on authorizing them to host the mating ball for the year and this didn't sit well with my father. Do you know what he did next? He gave an decree, stating that no one in the pack should step foot into the Nightshade territory as well as think of attending the ball; anyone found guilty would be punished severely. Can you believe that? The man's out of his damn mind if he thought I was just going to leave things as they were, no way. I was this close to finding my destined mate or preferably he ends up finding me first and I wasn't about to let that dream of mine go just like that. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up because I...um...don't have a wolf...yet. Yeah, I know, I'm an embarrassment, a freak, some would say but I was born that way—wolfless. Most werewolves get their inner wolf at age thirteen and I'm already seventeen so what hope is there for me? Imagine my father's disappointment when he discovered I had no wolf. The man was crushed both emotionally and physically, he couldn't even look me in the eyes, I was a failure to him. His only daughter whom he slightly favoured above his other children was...different. Mom says it's totally normal for werewolves my age to get their inner wolf much later than the others and that I might be a late bloomer. However, I'm not entirely sure that was the case. I know it's wrong to jump to conclusions but sometimes

But no one else was there apart from me and as I shifted my eyes to him he disappeared, vanished. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Blake, keeping an eye on me. Yeah, he was creepy like that.
