Brooklyn"
I woke up to a beautiful day it was the middle of autumn my favorite time of year i heard the birds chirping outside and the irritating voices of my little brother and sister arguing about complete nonsense.
I got up and had a shower and washed my long black hair that fell just bellow my shoulders and washed my face when I was done I got out looking in the mirror at my tan skin from the summer i got dressed and applied some make up to hide my freckles my eye lashes were all ready long and my eyes where bright green so I didn't need any help there my lips were full wnd plump I put on a apricot Matt lipstick on . It completed my dress well.
I went down stairs greetings my mother she embarrassed me with a warm hug
Emily"

I can't believe it tomorrow is the day I arrive at the choosing ceremony. I am of age to meet my mate I hope he's there but how will I know .....
My mother alllways told me I would know I will smell his scent and feel his presence dragging us together.
I completely forgot my 18th birthday was only three days ago i feel like such a burden that I have forgotten I was of age now

We headed out side of our little county house and went into the village . It was busy so many girls that have come of age looking for there perfect dress it wasn't to long untill mum found mine as soon I seen I I Screamed with excitement it was beautiful and pearl white covered in lace
Emily"

I rushed Brooklyn into the fitting room her size 8 body was beautiful in this dress the lace complemented her slim waist and her hour glass figure the dress fell mid thigh and she looked stunning
Now sweet heart it's up to you if you want to wear heels or flats either way you will look beautiful
Brooklyn '
Yes mum this is my dress I love it thank you Mummy .
I think I'm going to go with the heels I think they with complement my legs as I'm not very tall .
I fell just under 5 foot 2 inches
I can't wait to see my best friend tonight she is also going to the choosing ceremony
Emily"

Okay sweet heart chop chop get dressed so we can pay for the dress we are going to be late for the pre ceremony
Brooklyn POV
The pre ceremony is help the day before to check that all the girls are pure untouched and ready to meet there mates this includes a examination, a ritual with our packs elders and a moon dance to honour our ancestors of the blood moon pack
I got ready and headed to the pre ceremony it started at 6pm just as the sun went down everyone had to stay in there homes apart from the girls who were of age
Jacob "
Mother ! Father! I don't want to go I do not need a mate or a luna I'm the strongest alpha there has ever been
I am the alpha on the scarlet rose pack we are worries the most feared pack in Pennsylvania I do not obey anyone and if I don't feel like going I will not go.
Lisa"
Jacob son ! Please the moon goddess gives you a mate for a reason you are stronger as one instead of being alone
If you don't think you have a mate then you don't need to worry do you just go and if you find her then you have a choice all 12 packs women of age will be there .
Jacob"

Brooklyn POV
I have just finished the pre ceremony rituals the to n is silent and dead no one to be seen before all the girls were in the field in the eight dresses some made of silk and lace we were all blindfolded and left standing I felt a breeze against my skin as I head the town bells in the distance sticking midnight I heard the grass rustling and could here people coming closer and that's when I smelt it
