As I dressed for the wedding of Storm and Noelani, I fixed my gaze on myself in the mirror. Simply put, I didn't want to go to this wedding.
We had all completed the required shift, and the moon was full. I had assumed that Storm and Noelani would wed before the full moon and that he would then mark her because an Alpha must perform a ceremony before marking someone. However, this bundle operates differently than usual.
When an Alpha marks someone, or when someone marks an Alpha without adhering to a certain full moon ceremony, it carries a curse. Every subsequent full moon causes both parties to experience agonizing suffering. However, it seems that in this pack, the Alpha and Luna must endure suffering for three full moons before being able to finish the Alpha curse.
The suffering is intended to fortify them. It just seems superfluous to me.
