The Blood Rose ceremony happens every 20 years under the Blood Moon. Every girl aged 16 to 20 is to dress in a red dress and walk into the middle of the Blood Forest at midnight. When they all get there, there are blindfolds placed in a circle around the Blood Rose bush, each girl must wear one, if they do not the beast that roams the forest will rip the girl to shreds (This has never happened) The point of this ceremony is so that the beast of Blood Forest finds their mate. In the morning after the ceremony, one girl is gone from the circle. Since I am 18 this year I am of age and must participate. I personally think that this ceremony is insane and should stop. Celeste Dagger thinks that the Blood Rose picking ceremony is a waste of time and should stop. Celeste participates in this ceremony but she never would have guessed that she would be the beasts Mate. Damien Castle is Alpha of the Blood Rose pack and he has waited 20 years for the Ceremony so he could finally chose his mate.
