Brea's POV Tara(secretary) came by my den today. It was time to be marked. Mated and marked. my father called for me at the peace audience. "Who thinks they should have the honor of mating Brea?", my father questioned as soon as I sat. I jumped up. "What??!!", I screamed. I can't believe he decided just to auction me off. How could he. A young wolf around my age with a silver coat. He spoke with such a loud and powerful voice it made me melt. "She will be safe with the Diggers. The pack protects all it's wolves. Unlike the Climbers who allow their wolves to roam in other territories.", he half growled, half said. Other wolves spoke but I didn't hear them at all. I was lost in the silver wolf's blue eyes. At the end, I was paired with the silver wolf. Turns out his name was Derrin. He live across the forest near the river. I was to leave tomorrow. Tonight is a huge feast followed by the unison mating. Was I even ready for this? Could I ever love him? Sure I wanted a family but as I chose who to mate. * Horrible I know. School tires me. But should I continue? With the whole mating thing or just quit it? ** After your answers I'm adding the rest in a new post. It will be called The Aftermath.
