NIGHT OF THE HUNT

Xaden watched as Aurora left the pack with her things

He had been thorough with her, she would return on the last day of the halo festival.

Xaden knew what the last day of the halo festival was about.

He was the Alpha of the pack and as was mandatory he was going to have to be the one to perform it so that they would come as an offering to the moon.

It was a millennial old tradition that every Alpha whose pack had been visited by the halo moon had to perform.

He had three days until it was carried out.

When her saw her and some of her entourage ride out, he turned away from the balcony and walked towards the hall.

He saw Belle coming in and he wanted to make a quick U turn but she had already seen him.

"Xaden." She called out to him.

He bowed to her as it was mandatory.

"Princess Belle." He said.
