Our Surprise Mate

Hazel Jones elegantly glides into the gala, adorned in a stunning red silk dress with a sultry thigh-high slit and matching black strappy heels. Her luxurious chocolate-brown hair is styled in an exquisite updo, revealing her graceful neck. She completes her look with a coat of mascara and a bold, matte red lipstick. Before stepping out of her apartment and into the waiting limousine, Hazel gives one last appraisal in the mirror. Although she might not see her loved ones again, attending the Mate Gala is a non-negotiable for her. As King Octavius Storm and his mate, Valentina, observe the scene, their hearts race with astonishment. This unexpected arrival, Hazel, a mere human, is now entering the Lycan Royals' territory at the gala. In their world, Lycan Kings have traditionally possessed only one mate - a rule that holds true in the Full-Blood District, but not within their own Colony. What's even more extraordinary is that both Octavius and Valentina felt the powerful bond with Hazel before she set foot in the ballroom, defying all expectations.
