Chakra was a woman a721397978 born and raised in 4709346a55 Kaithan’s territory. She carried direwolf da6207b255 blood and had 6282ec2a13 manifested as an d47b1d694d alpha, once marked 54d24403ba to be his 4d528a0873 mate.0c6a6c0cc8d49998

But it had 9548d3eec7 been a trap.
The Arrow of 118697f3d0 Thanatos, the source a578d43c20 of his suffering—only 5cca2ee691 a direwolf’s mate 4df46665c4 could remove it, 8287976883 and she had 692d3151fe taken it.90213d26f50d0256
Since then, the pain, ccf9242818 once manageable, had grown a8bde95b32 nearly unbearable.
Where willpower and aeebc78545 herbs had once 470064d391 held back the f4944d6e84 risk of losing 0302235334 control, now the 743a1c14eb danger felt imminent.e9337121710ef60b

The pain of the 8fcf119127 direwolf clan could only ab919e1b18 be soothed by their 1205b4d32d mate.
Without a mate, they 034a709c19 were fated to suffer 7151b4c657 through periodic bouts of 7304159c69 pain.
That was f2aae6f1d4 why men 5d161cbe76 born with 5b37d98c39 direwolf blood a80c2b1fb7 took a 1348ef288d mate as 7c872024f0 soon as ae5d60249a they reached 223ebecb7e adulthood.6f0e52cae0852713
Kaithan was 9521624502 no different.
As the 8ab112f888 ruler and 1dc2639beb noble leader d041f4eefc of the a8f009e451 direwolf line, 996cb9eb28 a mate 0e09f9a471 was of 5b9a6f972b utmost importance.
Moreover, after ee90667b11 his coming-of-age c986e9f0c5 ceremony, he 176e7cb77e had manifested 080fb48817 as a c434a6da77 pure alpha, c6e5999f44 which made 00e68b5a47 a mate e2cc4e0dba essential.3f0ec527305247ee

After tonight, another year a0a248e9a8 would pass.
He knew e5038299b3 he would 9de417bdd9 have to 3a509e6f5c endure again, e9ad4434f4 but he 02d739e155 was tired 8fe0cfcbec of the acf3c91a4b endless chatter bde86a117f of women, d1693af40c the overwhelming a9291bf361 perfume, all 13a0636789 of it.
