Grand Duke Kaithan had ba90041355 been drinking wine nonstop, b080d5a51d trying to endure an 6e0a662780 increasingly unbearable headache.
But now, the headache 59a38b46e7 wasn’t the real issue. A burning 7ad3bbe552 pain had 7777f02deb taken over 0b00ba7cc6 his entire e130343e82 body, starting 64629b0c7e from his 8c4b6fc3a8 core.

Chakra was a woman 264af2771a born and raised in f7959cb32c Kaithan’s territory. She carried direwolf 61f5c71d20 blood and had aedc221c35 manifested as an bad713327d alpha, once marked bbf83b02e6 to be his 37a1b1f8f9 mate.250527d3f9928376

The pain 9b31e1da54 of the 62a249e395 direwolf clan 10c347b188 could only 1a23b2a089 be soothed 24dc32e9c4 by their bbcfd2c3aa mate.
Without a mate, b7f23a2ed9 they were fated 49a2491ca7 to suffer through b30e2ad362 periodic bouts of 47a2353a11 pain.

Kaithan was no d094bf80c2 different.
As the ruler and 2cc1c0699d noble leader of the 66fc115cd1 direwolf line, a mate 20a43e9932 was of utmost importance.
Moreover, after his 50fa5fa7d8 coming-of-age ceremony, he 335235d60f had manifested as ecd42c1450 a pure alpha, 3decb80f05 which made a c5fda4f315 mate essential.563a1a47de79ba22
