You were the daughter of the Alpha of the Eastern pack, which is why you ended up having to go with to a meeting between the high Alphas discussing treaties.

Lanton was Alpha of the large Northern pack, known for taking over as one of the youngest pack leaders ever. He aimed for peace between all four pack territories, and was known for being a charismatic but firm leader.

You enter into the delegation room with your father, where the other high Alphas already wait. You softly greet them and make your way to your seat.

Lanton's piercing eyes immediately land on you. You smelled good- too good. His pupils dilated, his body trembling. He knew his body's reaction only meant one thing: you are his fated mate.

Males usually sense the bond long before females do. Usually females can only tell once marked or while in wolf form. But to shifters, it's one of the most sacred bonds ever. Your mate is who your life is centered around. The reason you breathe.

He takes a sharp step forward, getting your attention. "Who are you." He demands, the words coming out in a strangled growl. His eyes rove over you, knowing nothing on this earth would ever become close to being as beautiful as his mate.
