Chapter 15 - Girl Talk

Ari’s POV

I woke up the next day feeling reinvigorated. Today was the claiming. The most important event of the week. This was it. I would meet my mate. The way the claiming worked was pretty straightforward. All the unmated she-wolves were sequestered the morning of the claiming and taken far away from the packhouse into the woods that surround it to an undisclosed location where they house us for the day. All the unmated males were ordered to stay within the packhouse walls and not permitted to go outside for any reason whatsoever. While the unmated wolves paced the floors waiting eagerly to begin the claiming, those not partaking in the claiming were doing all the things needed to get everything ready for the claiming.
