Chapter 52 Not Your Mate

• We drive through the pack, the soft moonlight gives everything such a picturesque view.
• Shadow Moon is indeed outstanding, the spatial planning is excellent. The residential centers are separated from the lively catering industry, probably to prevent noise nuisance. Everything is orderly and maintained as I already noted when we entered the pack.
• The Alpha explains that his pack is one of the oldest and most of the smaller ones originated from Shadow Moon. Persons who at first could not adhere to the strict discipline had left the pack in groups and formed smaller ones that have grown over the years. This pack does not accept rogues, unlike refugees from war-surviving packs. He states that his father is officially still the Alpha, but that he is the actual leader carrying out all the work. According to tradition, he cannot officially take over the position until he has found his fated mate. He is now twenty, and has searched for her in a number of packs but came home empty-handed.
