The first bell had just rung letting the humans know the change was coming. He stared up at the full moon in the sky feeling the power it held over him. His muscles flexed as he watched each member of his pack moving through the clearing. Darcy, Drake, and Lewis stood beside him. He spotted Daisy as she came through with her mate. Matthew had his arm wrapped his mate. Several other mates were snuggled against each other in bliss. He saw Lori coming toward him. He raised his arms in the air gaining their attention. Silence descended on the gathering. “I want to thank you all for coming tonight. The full moon is powerful, and we use this night to give ourselves over to the night and the beast.” Cheers rang around the pack along with howls. “Tonight I bring great news as well. Today I was mated.” Gasps went around the group. Lori smirked, moving forward. She clearly thought he’d claimed her. “Who did you mate?” Daisy asked, stopping Lori from moving any farther with an arm around her waist.
