This was the moment every guest had been waiting for, Alpha or beta, Luna or warrior, pack members and what not, the one that had everyone buzzing with wild anticipation.
The full moon climbed high over the pack grounds, glowing brighter and more magical than anyone had ever seen, like the Moon Goddess herself had shown up just to bless the whole crazy celebration.
Her silvery light poured down across the clearing, making the massive bonfire blaze even hotter and more alive.
Cheers exploded from every direction, ripping through the night air as they howled and danced under that breathtaking sky, hearts pounding with pure joy.
Damon wove his way through the excited crowd, passing out sheets of paper to every group before heading back to the leaders’ circle. By the time he got there, Alpha Ravyn had already handed out the white sheets.
Everyone settled into their spots, heads bowed as they poured their deepest, most desperate wishes onto the paper.
Seraphine wrote with her heart racing: I wish to be mated to Voren during the Blood Moon Festival.
Voren’s wish burned with fierce love: I wish to be mated to Seraphine during the Blood Moon Festival, and I want her to have the strength to give birth to our pup safely, healthy and strong.
Corvine: I wish to be mated to Athaliah during the Blood Moon Festival. Before now, his intention for coming was just to protect Seraphine and enjoy the ceremony but after meeting Athaliah, everything changed.
Athaliah: I wish to find my destined mate during the Blood Moon Festival.
Alpha Killian: I wish to be mated to Athaliah during the Blood Moon Festival.
Kael: I wish to be mated to Jasmine during the Blood Moon Festival.
Jasmine: I wish to be mated to Beta Corvine during the Blood Moon Festival.
Damon: I wish to be mated to Princess Athaliah during the Blood Moon Festival.
Prince Jasper: I wish to be mated to Luna Seraphine during the Blood Moon Festival.
Tallulah: I wish to be mated to Alpha Voren or Beta Corvine during the Blood Moon Festival.
Emery: I wish to be mated to Beta Corvine during the Blood Moon Festival.
Zane: I wish to be mated to Emery during the Blood Moon Festival.
Daisy: I wish to be mated to Alpha Voren during the Blood Moon Festival, and I wish Seraphine Walker would die before then.
Ravyn: I wish to be mated to Sera during the Blood Moon Festival. I also wish she would accept Daisy as her co-Luna.
Luna Mayo: I wish to be mated to Alpha Voren during the Blood Moon Festival. I should become the Luna of the Grimroot Pack.
Luna Joyce: I wish to be mated to Alpha Voren during the Blood Moon Festival.
The wishes kept coming, one after another, full of raw longing. Even the regular pack members scribbled down dreams of snagging Alpha Voren as their mate, their hearts overflowing with desperate hope as they poured every secret desire onto those white sheets.
When everyone finally finished, Ravyn stood tall and looked out over the massive gathering, his voice carrying strong and clear.
