The memories of the previous night crept in as. I stirred awake, the rays of morning light filtering through the heavy curtains of my apartment.

I groaned, burying my face into the soft pillow. I had finally met him-my fated mate. The universe’s way of telling me that I had found ‘the one’. Every werewolf’s dream, and a real blessing now in this overpopulated world. It was becoming more and more rare to find one’s fated mate, and I had just stumbled across mine in the dead of night.
