The Firstborn's Weakness

In the Kingdom of Carantania, ruled by werewolves, young Prince Ares, blessed by the Moon Goddess, is destined for greatness and invincibility... unless his fated mate is found. His uncle Dimitri plots to use this weakness to seize the throne. A prophecy warns of betrayal and a war looms. After a century of loss, King Ares is cold and withdrawn. But as his 115th birthday ball approaches, a mysterious prophecy hints at his mate's imminent arrival and a shift in his lonely fate.
The grand ballroom of the Royal Moon pack palace was a dazzling spectacle of light and movement, filled with the scent of expensive perfumes and the murmur of countless conversations.
Chandeliers glittered overhead, casting a warm glow on the assembled guests – Alphas, Lunas, Betas, Gammas, and unmated females from across the supernatural world, all gathered to celebrate your one hundred and fifteenth birthday.
Despite the festive atmosphere, you stood at the top of the grand staircase, a solitary figure in silver and black, your face a mask of stoic indifference that belied the storm raging within. A deep sigh escaped your lips, unheard amidst the din, as you prepared to descend into the throng.
