"Lagerta, it's time!" I heard from behind me. I checked my dress one last time in the mirror,soothing down the nonexistent wrinkle for god knows how many times now, before heading towards the stage.

Today might be the day I get chosen by my mate.
Every sixth month after I turn 18, I have to attend a ceremony and stand on the platform where all the unmated wolves, often from our pack, would come around and recognise their mates.

It has been eight times for me already, it's my ninth time now. One might think nine is a lot, but it's fairly common for wolves to wait for their mates until moon goddess deem you mature, it can take some people more than twenty time to find their mates. It is super rare for someone to find theirs in the first go.

Right after my first visit here, I learnt to tell whether I'll find my mate that visit or not. But this time, this time is different. I can feel it in my bones. I am getting restless as if the volcano inside me is about to erupt.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAban89UyJ8o
I feel like a child in front of a candy yet I can seem to reach by any means.

Finally, all the girls around got into the respective place and the curtain got pulled backed. Blinding. Blinding lights shined on the stange. You would think that I would have gotten used to these annoying light by not, but sadly I am not.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAMFgoytAMv9
Thankfully I knew I wouldn't have to be on this stage in front of these stupid light ever again, the thought of it made my heart beat faster.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAeOrvwlcVxD
In my heart, I am so thankful of my mother doing my make up and hair for me, she always does it for me before every visit. It's like her of say good bye.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAhMQ9aloRKT
These lights had their purpose, so that it shows your features clearly and your mate would choose you without any mistake.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAQnfPUeTsL1
Which I think is stupid because who could ever mistaken their bond with someone.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAi4dSPhRxdQ
Looking around, there were hundreds of seats. All of them cheering and rejoicing for this sacred ritual, celebrating the gift given to us by moon goddess.

Half of my anxiety evaporated when my eyes fell on my parents and my seven siblings. Both my mom and dad were holding hands, excited for me just as they were when I came here for the first time.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9RjbjzN7q
I see my brother, Sven talking to his mate. I am the eldest child in the family but I don't have to worry about how my parents would survive if my mate has chosen me.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAkvSYUndsqf
That's because Sven is already 20 and found his mate, he is quite a responsible being and I wouldnt worry that he'll let me down.

"Welcome! Welcome to the semi-annual mate-finding ceremony! " The crowd cheered even more as elder Jonathan announced the start of this event.

"This evening, we have the honour to have pack members from Pack Norr" . All the girls on the stage let out a gasp and my own eyes widen in suprised.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAJYXNIyeFUC
It has been such a long time since a foreign pack came to join our ceremony.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAEwYOkGQlkn
Pack Norr. Pack Norr. Pack Norr. Where have I heard this name before? When we are homeschooled, we also have to learn about different pack and their speciality.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAFW3Lq72bYw
But for some reason, my mind is completely blanking out on Pack Norr. Oh well, I'll ask my mom later.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAyMBvyh8zVZ
They are very easy to spot in the audience. While my pack member wore veils, silks and turban, they wore animal-skin clothing and loincloths.
126Please respect copyright.PENANATxtixKYOXc
Seeing them showing so much skins is bizarre to me as it's common here to do so. In my pack, we are only permitted to show skin in front of our own family, even than we can't show a lot.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAP32WzrUJli
"Unmated wolves from Pack Norr would also be joining our ceremony this blessed afternoon. So without further ado, let's start this evening!" Elder Jonathan clapped loudly and the audience stopped cheering immediately. Letting the people on stage concentrate on finding their soul mates.

One by one, male walked in with puffed up chest. Making a show of their masculinity, reeking of intoxicating testosterones.

By now I can recognise a few faces. I was never allowed to go out and mingle after I turned 7. It is one of the traditions of our pack. It is to keep females pure and untouched by anyone unrelated to them. They are homeschooled and taught the art of life.
126Please respect copyright.PENANA6bV52aeY63
The ones that I recognised were the one I have seen from my previous visits. Some I saw from my first and some from others. They didn't wait to sniff me because they have already done that and no need to show interest in they know not theirs.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAAcPAVnykrp
Ten couples found each other between our own pack. Sadly, I didn't see anyone who was mine. My heart drop to the lowest point there is. It couldn't be. I knew I was gonna meet my mate today , it just can't be it.
126Please respect copyright.PENANAjvd8x8FQzo
" now I would like to invite Pack N-" and a growled thundered. That's when I turned my head towards the source of the growled and my eyes came in contact with the coldest and the bluest eyes I have even seen.
