Plot Development
1.Anticipation of Shift and Unknown Mate
Emma is excited about her upcoming 18th birthday and first shift. She wishes her parents could be there. She also hopes to meet her mate. Neither her brother Andrew nor Alpha Logan has found their mates yet.
The day before her shift, Emma encounters Sienna, who is mean to her and threatens to exile her when she becomes Luna. Jacob, Emma's friend, visits, and they go training together. Jacob hints that he wants to be more than friends with Emma, and she has feelings for him too, but they are both waiting for their true mates.
2.First Shift and Surprising Discovery
On her birthday, Emma spends a great day with her brother, making traditional food and watching movies. In the evening, she goes to the shifting site in the forest. With the presence of her friends and Luna Gloria, she successfully shifts into a pure white wolf, which seems special but she doesn't care.
After the shift, Emma realizes Jacob is not her mate. Her wolf Eliza tells her that she belongs to someone else. Emma runs with her friends and then goes home to rest.
3.Mate's Appearance and Harsh Rejection
At 11 pm, Logan arrives at Emma's house, nervously looking for her. Emma is attracted by his voice. When she goes downstairs, she smells pine needles and snow on him, and Eliza recognizes Logan as their mate. However, Logan is cold to Emma, thinking she is too young and not strong enough to be the Luna. He plans to choose Sienna instead.
After hearing Logan and Andrew's conversation, Emma is heartbroken. She decides to leave home and go to a cave in the forest to think. She feels the pain of being rejected by Logan is unbearable and even thinks that being exiled by Sienna and becoming a rogue is better than staying and seeing them together.
