When mate gatherings land on full moons our wolves are more present making it easier to track our mates down. The gathering is for all twelve packs, the council is holding it on neutral territory since it is expected to be such a large gathering. All Alpha's and Luna's are required to go, it's going to be a 3 day event so I'm honestly just going so Claire can find her fated mate. Very few people know that me and Ares are mates so we both have to show up to keep up the charade.
