The world as we know it has been taken over by werewolves and their way of life interferes with everything. It's been 381 years since that day, when the werewolves first revealed themselves and took over the world. Those who weren't killed then were forced to live under the control of the biggest packs in the country and participate in... necessary gatherings. These gathering have been every person's worse nightmare as it determines if your forced to live a werewolf for the rest of your life or not. Silas has lived his entire life not knowing about this event, until told by his own employer. The one problem is that Silas come from the slums of his region, aka the poorest area. Andrew is the heir to the Alpha position of his region, but his lack of action has caused the neighboring regions to plan a raid on him. That is until he can find his mate. Though this may all change on the day of the Mating Ball, where every human who is 18 must head to a building where a ball is held to see if a human if the mate of a werewolf. For 3 years, Andrew has been attending these parties, to no avail, that is until an unfamiliar scent comes from the library, where a certain person resides.
