Life as a werewolf royal isn't easy. Mary never wanted to get married, not even as a little girl. But what she wants doesn't matter, not to her family and not to her pack. Mary is the daughter of the Moonstone pack's Alpha and a werewolf royal. Because of this her whole pack hopes that on her 18th birthday, when she finally meets her mate, it will be someone of good standing, hopefully an Alpha. Mary has felt this pressure her whole life when all she ever wanted was to be free of her duties and to be able to lead a normal life. But now her destiny is only a week away. It's only a week until her 18th birthday. A week before she has to give up her life and freedom and marry a man she has never met. Nate has always known what is expected of him. He is a royal and the firstborn son of the Alpha, which means that when his father steps down he will take over and lead the Blue moon pack. This is what was decided for him by fate. He also knows that to be able to do his job right in the future he cannot let his judgment be clouded by love, which is why he is happy that he has not yet found his mate. Females always find their mates on their 18th birthday but not males. They can go years before they find their mates, their one true match designed for them by destiny. Nate is now 21 and hopes that it will be a long, long time before he finds his mate. This way he can take over the pack and get everything in order before it all gets ruined.
