“It’s going to be perfect,” my mother said brightly as she zipped up the back of my dress. I touched the lace, a little in awe. The dress was gorgeous. The second I’d seen it in the store window, I knew it would be perfect for tonight. And even though it was way beyond our budget, my mother had agreed. It wasn’t every day you were presented to your fated mate.

“Tonight will be the best night of your life,” she promised me.

I just wondered why her eyes said something else. Threads of trepidation began to weave their way through me. Who was I kidding… They’d been building the second I’d seen Alistair at that pack dinner.

At eighteen, you’re brought to your first pack dinner. It’s supposed to be the moment when you’re accepted and become a member of the pack family. I’d been excited…and terrified to go. Mother was an omega, the weakest member of the pack, and she didn’t go to many pack events or talk very much—if at all—about the ones she did attend. She’d never said anything outright bad about the pack, but she always came home…defeated. I wasn’t sure if that was the right description. It was an odd, uncomfortable feeling.

But any uncomfortableness had disappeared when I’d walked into the hall and felt it, that pull, like a string was snapping into place, propelling me into the room as if I had no control. Our eyes had met, and that had been it.

I’d loved him the moment I saw him, convinced that the moon goddess must have blessed me to give me someone like him.

Mother smiled at me again, and I took a deep breath, drawing strength from her sweet smile. I trusted my mother with everything in me. If she told me everything was going to be great, I could believe her.

Straightening my shoulders, I smoothed out my dress one more time. The dress was a navy-blue color with a black lace overlay. It was mermaid style, perfectly form-fitting until it flared out at the bottom. It had a sweetheart neckline that displayed my mother’s necklace perfectly. I’d been shocked when she’d presented it as one of my eighteenth birthday presents. I’d loved that necklace since I’d found it in her bedside table. And even though she never wore it, always telling me it was too special to wear all the time, as a child, I’d often peeked looks at it whenever I was in her room.

Now that I was wearing it, I had trouble not touching it constantly, afraid that it would fall off and get lost. My mother had tears in her eyes when she gave it to me. It was the most special thing I’d ever owned.

“Ready to go?” she asked, shaking me out of my thoughts. I looked at her face one more time, looking for the reassurance I, at eighteen, still desperately needed.

“He’s your true mate,” she whispered. “It will be just like all the stories we’ve always talked about.”

“Let’s do this,” I answered, giddy anticipation pushing away the fear…at least a little.
