Prologue: Uncle Uzzi
From the Enchanted Desk of Uncle Uzzi Stregovich—Magical Matchmaking Witch, Fate Whisperer, and Architect of Happily Ever Afters
Hello, Lieblings!
Yes, yes, it’s me—your friendly neighborhood magical matchmaking Witch, Uncle Uzzi.
And guess where I am right now?
No idea?
Why, I’m in Maverick Point, of course. Back with the Maverick Pride where one of my most beloved legends began.
Ah, Maverick Point.
This little town in New Jersey is chock full of Shifters, stubborn hearts, and destiny just waiting to be nudged in the right direction.
You see, as a descendant of Aphrodite herself, love runs through my veins just as strongly as magic.
It is both my birthright and my greatest joy to help lonely hearts find their fated mates.
And the Maverick Pride? Oh, my darlings, they are one of my proudest success stories.
I’ve matched nearly every member of the Honor Guard.
Even Hunter Maverick, the Neta himself, found his mate with a little assistance from yours truly.
Oh, the day I brought Elissa to his Pride House was memorable indeed.
Like a lightning strike—that match took off instantaneously.
Not that I brag.
Well. Not much.
Today the town is celebrating the arrival of Spring, and for those of us with a little magic in our bones, the Vernal Solstice as well.
The entire Pride has turned out for a weekend of feasting, dancing, and festivities that promise to last well past sunrise.
Food stalls line the streets.
Fair games are all set up—including those little water gun games where you race to fill the balloon over the clown’s head to make it pop.
Music is playing in the square.
And there’s enough grilled meat in the air to make a Tiger roar.
In short?
It’s the perfect setting for the Fates to work their magic.
Which brings me to the reason I’m positively thrilled to be here.
You see, I’ve just finished upgrading my beloved Date to Mate app.
Oh yes, my sweets. It’s bigger, better, and more magical than ever.
In fact, this newest version doesn’t even require the user to sign up before destiny begins to weave its web.
