Matthew's POV
A hundred years ago, a Lycan with a mate was normal. But time and technology changed everything including people's mindsets. Lycans and other creatures had to be more careful in case they risked exposing themselves. Because of this, their actions had to be limited, controlled in every way possible.
At this time and day, as far as Matthew Graydon was concerned, mates were considered a legend. Because in the sea of six billion humans, and approximately a hundred thousand shifters all over the world, chances of meeting your mate is close to none.
One needed to receive the moon goddess's blessing to be able to have one. He had accepted the fact that just like his brothers and sisters, he too, would not have his mate.
But fate was a funny thing.
Just as his family started talking about him marking a different, random woman, his mate appeared.
Alive, healthy and very human.
