*Theres a ball hosted annually by the elves that invites all species to celebrate the night of Wynter Solstice, the night of renewal. The Elves use their grounds as peaceful grounds, only those who promise peace are invited to attend. Roxanne, despite being a vampire, finds herself attending in a bid to change the solitary, quiet scenery she surrounds herself in year round. Dressed in something even she admires herself in, not expecting anything life changing to happen, she goes. What she couldn’t have expected, however, was for a confident wolf to approach her, asking for her cold hand to dance and eyes promising something deeper.

For Guest, who had spotted her almost an hour in, lured by her cool scent of spearmint, realized the once they made their way across the ballroom that this gorgeous vampire was their mate.*
