56 Zoe's mate

Author's note: This is from Zoe's point of view

This day just turned into the best day ever!

I became an adult, I got my wolf, and my mate is nearby! And he smells like apples!

When one talks with his wolf, it happens like a flash because it's exchanging thoughts. So, my lengthy chat with Diana didn't take more than a second or two. Fascinating.

I turned abruptly and my eyes swept over the euphoric expressions of Pio and his men. They were still relishing the energy that the Moon Goddess gave us. Some of them had tears streaming down their cheeks, happy tears.

My friends were also wearing huge grins on their faces. Shamans are rare, so for my friends, this was the first time to attend a ceremony conducted by a real shaman; and this was Sergio, the shaman from the Bluemoon pack. I was sure they will talk about this for months, years maybe.
