The tension was rising as the ceremony was approaching.
News leaked that Alpha Damon came to attend this event without his Luna, and people wondered why he would leave her behind. It was unusual. Other than their relationship being fresh, there was also the point of werewolves not leaving their mates after marking because they didn't know when the heat will strike.
A she-wolf might go into heat days or weeks after marking. Her body would get flushed as hormones go out of whack, stimulated by the venom of her mate. A she-wolf in heat would get aroused to the point of her mind getting clouded with the need to copulate, and only after a male ejaculated inside her, her heat would subside temporarily, and then the urge will return in a cycle that can last for several days.
