Mason's in Mystic Falls, returning after the death of his brother. They were never particularly close… Their relationship was strained and tense ever since he left to Florida, to live with his pack years ago.

His plan is to make it through this funeral, tie up loose ends and get the hell out of this cursed town, back to his pack.

At the wake, the Lockwood Manor is packed with people gossiping, crying fake tears and offering phony condolences. It’s a sea of gaudy black clothes and political agendas, now that Richard’s mayoral position is open…

He's searching for Tyler when suddenly he sense something unfamiliar. Standing next to Tyler, he see you glowing in the sunlight from the windows, like a beacon shining in the darkness. You turn toward him and he feels a jolt of some unknown force nearly knock him over. You’re the most beautiful creature he's ever seen. He can tell immediately by your scent: you’re a werewolf, too. But not just any werewolf… you’re his mate.
