ℒove is hard to find, in fact it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Many of us never find our other half,
our soulmate, the ones who do are considered to be very lucky that fate was on their side. Finding a
soulmate has become so difficult and rare that we have given up on it all together, instead we have
a different system of finding mates here. It doesn't always make us happy, in fact some of us are just
made miserable by the one we are paired with, but it keeps the pack surviving and what more could
we really ask for? Some of us do find love this way though and those of us that do are happy for the
system that we have in place. There will always be those who want the system removed so they can
have a chance at finding love, but the tradition remains strong through this day as it has done for the
past century that it has existed.
ฬhat we do to get a mate is have one assigned to us. The process is pretty simple, every month those
of us who don't have a mate yet go up to the top of the mountain where there is a cave and we head
to the back of the cave moving down a narrow tunnel until we get to the room of crystals. The cave
is lit up with the soft glow from the crystals and each male goes and positions himself next to one of
the crystals. The females then make their way around to each crystal and if it glows brighter the two
are paired together. If there are any that the crystal does not light up for they have to wait another
month and try again to find a pairing. This tradition was developed when an alpha made a trip up the
mountain to investigate claims that his pack members had made about seeing a mysterious glow from
inside the cave. He went in and followed the glow to the back cave which had previously remained
unexplored and there he noticed a lone female curled up besides one of the crystals. He walked over
to her to investigate and as he got closer to her the crystal started to glow brighter.
Ƭhe glow catching the female's attention she looked up and when they locked eyes it was love at
first sight. He brought her back to the pack and announced that he had found his mate in the cave and
told the skeptical pack about what had happened. A new superstition had risen that the crystals could
tell a wolf who their mate was, nobody knew how it worked, but the next day a few of the members
went up to the cave to see if what the alpha said was true. When the got to the cave the crystals were
not glowing as the alpha said. They went back to report this to him, but he told them it must be some
sort of mistake. They insisted that he go and look for himself and in an attempt to prove them wrong
he went up and looked for himself. When he got there he saw that they were right, the crystals were
no longer glowing, he thought that couldn't be right. Everyday he checked again and again, and every
time he checked it was the same result, until the first day of the next month. He went back and when
he got there the crystals had the same dim glow that they had when he first investigated the cave. He
was excited to tell his pack and rushed back to them with the news.
ℛeluctantly the pack followed him thinking him crazy until they got there and saw that he was
right. A few of them wandered around the crystals and when a male and female got close to one it had
started to grow brighter. They looked at each other in shock with what just happened, but neither of
them felt a spark towards each other. The alpha insisted however that it was meant to be, that they of
course were mates because the crystal glowed. On that day he set a tradition that once a month the
unmated members of the pack would journey to the cave to find the wolf they were meant to be with.
Many of them did find a wolf they were paired with according to the crystals, but many of them never
found love. The alpha made it a law that they had to be with who the crystals deemed as their partners
it was forbidden to be with anybody else, and to this day the wolves still follow this tradition. It has
been so long that most are afraid to break it.
