Moonblessing Stolen The Omega Who Broke the Bond

During the Moonbite Feast, I bit down on a silver token hidden in my portion.

The entire den erupted in cheers.

Last year, my mate's sister found the token and the pack matriarch gifted her a territory stake worth ten resource shares.

The year before, my mate's nephew won and received a full set of hunting gear and scrying crystals.

Full of anticipation, I watched as Morwenna Duskthorn smiled warmly and made her announcement.

"This year, the rite has changed. The one who finds the token must bestow five resource shares upon each of the twenty pack members present."

I froze.
