"Please, don't go," I whispered as I started kissing her neck once again.

She caressed my head but started saying the reasons why she knew it was wrong.

"We can't do this, Triton," she told me. "It is killing us, and it is destroying our families. Imagine how the pack would react if they were to discover us here? If they discovered that you were in the woods with me, kissing and caressing? As much as I love you and as much as we are mates, we are also enemies, Triton."

"No!" I said, my face still buried in her neck. "I don't care what they think! I don't care what will happen! All I want is you."

My Enemy, My Mate

I looked over the fancy font and thought about what it said. The silver cursive lettering contrasted nicely against the light blue of the letter's background in my hand. I kept reading over the font again and again. 


"Come, join us, as the banquet of fools." The front of the letter read. I knew the banquet of fools was an old human celebration that we sort of adopted as a joke. I knew we sort of created our own version of this holiday where we would all dress up as a masked "fool" character. 


The goal was for no one to know who was who and dance and experience the night together. 


I opened the letter once again to read the invitation. I could tell a she-wolf wrote it according to how the letters looked. 


"Please join us for our banquet of fools. Hosted by Shining Moon Pack to bring all together as an anonymous visit. Food and drinks and party music, please come dressed as a fool!"
