It's the annual mating ball and all unmated shifters are thrilled to find their mate at said event. Throughout history there have been a few rare cases where a shifter had what was known as a 'Second Chance Mate'. This occurred when a mate bond had been rejected and the rejected individual got a second chance at being whole. But never in the history of shifters had there been a Triad Bond. Three shifters discover that not only do they have a mate, they have two. Follow their journey as the learn to love and embrace this peculiar bond that they share.

(who is starting this?)

(Idk, I have been a bit busy and stressed with life stuff, like my boyfriend about gave me a heart attack, I can start but it may be awhile)

Shifters across the world, all of the age of 20 and up, were preparing themselves for of the most grand event of the year. The Mating Ball. They would be gathering at the manor of Leon, the home of the Lion shifters. It was situated at the centre of an estate, the only lush area in the city. They would come from far and wide. Each representing their species and clan (tribe, pack, etc.)

Today was the day of the mating ball.

An absent mind accompanied that of busy hands as they trimmed flower stems. It remained that way until the thumb was pricked by a thorn. Stormy grey orbs glanced down, suddenly torn from their mindless train of thought. "Liz if you don't finish that bouquet of roses soon, you'll be late for your dress fitting!" The voice of her grandmother sounded from behind her, earning a soft huff from the younger woman. "Nanna... this isn't my first mating ball and probably not my last one. I'll just wear the same dress I wore last year! There's no need for a new one... besides, I have to finish these bouquets first. We both know you're starting to get too old for such laborious work." The young woman teased her elder as she gestured to the floral covered table in front of her. "You got your mother's tongue I see... You're lucky I'm fond of you deary." The elder retorted, giving the girl a knowing look. "Just because you didn't find your mate at the ball last year... does not mean you won't tonight... And the owner of that dress shop is an old friend of mine, she offered to tailor a dress for you! Now, no more dilly-dalying! Off you go, the ball will be starting in 5 hours and you better be ready by then!" The elder woman's raspy voice instructed the girl, dismissing her.

Nika's mother had been beginning her to go to the mating ball. Mika was still unsure weather she were to go or not. Mika was making a few yummy treats for her family's bakery. So her mother came downstairs to see her still here made her mother mad. Mika looked at her mother to see an upset face come across her mother's face. Mika mother then began scolding her "young lady, you need to be getting ready for the ball" She said.mika went back to what she was doing as she spooke "let me finish this...and I will make up my mind." Mika said in a class voice as her mother stormed over "make up your mind?" Her mother said "yes, make up my mind" She responded. "We had agreed that you will go" her mother then said flicking her tail furiously. Nika smirked "you agreed with a wall that I would be going, I only said I would think about it" Nika said flicking her tail now annoyed and frustrated with her mother.

Oops

"Wrong."

"I don't care what he stated. I want the black tuxedo and that is all."

Aleksander's piercing emerald gaze will bare down on the tailor's assistant until the smaller man caves under the pressure.

Nodding to himself, Aleks will look back into the full length mirror to appraise himself. This year's ball was going to be just like all the rest... Utter failures. At the old age of 24, he doubted he was going to find a person to even dance with, never mind a mate. His father told him that he needed to be more "lively and approachable" to even have a snowball's chance in hell to have a girl even talk to him. Too bad he liked to be cold and solitary, lest he might have listened to the advice.

.

Rolling his eyes, Aleks starts to remove his jacket as the assistant returns with the tux to try on. A few minutes later, he will be in front of the mirror again, green eyes skimming over how the black on black on black number hugged his toned body and showed off the silver quality to his curly hair. Nodding again to himself, he will pick up his jacket and turns for the door. "Put this on my father's account." He tells the assistant dismissively on the way out.

.

Tossing his jacket into the passenger seat of his sports car, he will ignore the buzzing of his cell. Just father, probably calling to yell at me that I turned down the white suit again... He thought to himself as he floored it, speeding along the narrow roads toward the manor house that was to be the host for the mating ball that year. His ambush (group of tigers) was on good terms with the Leon Pride, so he doubted the pride would mind if he showed up a bit early. He pulled onto the estate's drive, waving a hand at the gate guard and driving up to the guest parking lot. Now... A chance to blow a few hours reading... He thought before pulling out his tablet to continue the novel he had been reading.

moments latter Mika was at her grandmother's dress shop...her mother wouldn't let her not go. She came across a black dress that faded to gold along with gold starts scattered as the gold faded to the black, I was an off the shoulder dress something her mother would never approve of but Mika guessed if she would tk find a mate she would have go a little out thare to get one. It's not like every day the person of her dreams is to walk in throw her family's bakery doors. Mika smiled as she took the dress to try on. After putting it on she came out to see that her mother was now thare 'oh lord, please do help me' she said to herself. Her mother was pleased with her choice and so it was the dress she wint with.
