Barely Breathing
Chapter 7: Since when did you come to terms with my enemy?
The Mate Hunt is being held annually and participated by different packs all over the world. This event is as old as time, back to the ancient days of werewolves finding a mate. Before, the monarchy holds a royal ball each year, where everyone can socialize first before the actual mate hunt. However, this has changed after the war. The council, who replaced the monarchy’s rulings has altered it into a more primitive way.
What happens is every female werewolf will be blindfolded and lined up as per status in their pack. Then the male werewolves will pass each female to find their chosen and try to familiarize her scent, to find her easily on the second part of the mate hunt.
A chosen mate varies in a man’s preference and the pull their wolf feels is significant in choosing. Alphas are more selective though, for their wolf seeks more than the physical attributes of a woman, but of strength and bloodline. The pull their wolf feels is usually stronger than ordinary male werewolves.
After the initial part, the females will then be released into the forest to seek shelter while waiting for a male to claim them. After half an hour, the males will be released to find their chosen.
Once a werewolf finds his chosen, he will have to mark her to ward off other males. The mark will bind the two and give them an unbreakable bond. The unbreakable bond is a gift from the moon goddess and will grow stronger as time passes by.
But there is one problem. The trick is one or more males might find the attraction to one female. That’s where the werewolves submit into their primitive nature - a fight.
There is only one rule: The stronger gets the girl.

Females were all gathered in the hall in Moon Valley packhouse. The house was huge, the hall itself was wide and has a height of a two-story ceiling. We were all at least a hundred females here lined up by status. I, being a warrior stood in the middle, after the alpha, beta, and gamma’s daughters.
