Mate of Light

The moon hung low and silver over the northern forests, casting light on a world that was both wild and waiting. Somewhere, a newborn girl slept, unaware that her heartbeat had already reached across the mountains to a young Alpha—Eighteen, untouchable, and unyielding. Edmund Blackwood had sworn a vow he could not yet explain: to protect the mate he had never met, to wait for her, and to love no one else. Fate had already begun its work. And the world would never be the same. ——————— Main Characters 1. Edmund Blackwood – The Alpha / Future Pack Leader • Age: 18 • Personality: Calm, disciplined, intimidating, highly intelligent.
