Felix and Daphne Ford are 17 years old twins who are forced to move to a small town, after their father gets a new job as the police chief.
Daniel Huntington has everything going for him. He is the son of the Alpha of the largest wolf pack in East C...
It was the night of the full moon ceremony. This is the night where my entire future gets decided.
As it's customary, the pack throws a party to celebrate the Moon Goddess and everyone attends it. Which is probably why the Council saw fit to schedule the hearing for today. To say that I was nervous it was an understatement!
I mean, I know I have a small chance of getting them to reverse their position, but there's nothing I could do but hope. Honestly, when you are prepared for a position your whole life, it's hard to see yourself doing anything else. And from the moment I first draw breath till my last warrior training, I knew I was born to be Alpha!
At breakfast, everybody was nervous, most especially Nate. I mean, a part from myself, he was probably the person most invested in me being Alpha. After all, Betas were chosen by the Alpha, if I don't ascend neither will he. But I honestly think his sole concern was with me, regardless of his own fate. And I loved him for it!
"Are you excited, Dan?" - He asked me while we ate.
"I'm very nervous! I mean, I have to speak before the entire pack, so that the council decides if they're going to stop me from becoming what I was born to be and have been preparing for my entire life!" - I replied, anxiously.
"I understand, brother. But we'll be right there with you, including Felix and Daphne. It's going to be their first full moon ceremony!" - Nate said, excitedly.
"Know that you're loved and supported, cariño. That's what's most important!" - Mom comforted me.
"You'll knock it out of the park, big brother!" - Denise chimed in, smiling at me.
"I'm sure you're gonna do great, son." - Dad said. His face was serene and somber as ever.
"I just hope it's enough!" - I whispered.
The pack ground was entirely decorated. There was going to be a huge bonfire at night, as we celebrate the Goddess. The full moon was peak time for werewolves, so there was going to be a lot of wolves running tonight.
We would run through the woods all the way to the waterfalls. It was a treat! Especially for first timers! The full moon is also when a young member would shift for the first time. It usually happened after you reached puberty, around 12 or 13, at the latest.
Back in my room, I called Felix to check in.
"Hi, Felix. So, are you excited for your first full moon ceremony?" - I asked him, anxiously.
"Hi, Dan. I am. I just hope no one bites me." - He said it and I laughed out loud.
"No one is biting you, I promise! There's plenty of food!" - I snickered.
"And are you nervous? How are you feeling?" - He wondered.
"I am, of course. It's only my entire future on the line!" - I said, ironically. I heard a soft laughter.
"I hope they see reason, Dan, I really do! I know how much it means for you!" - His voice was hopeful.
"Thanks, Felix. It does, indeed. I hope so too!" - I thanked him.
"See you in a bit, bye!"
"Bye!" - I ended the call and rested for a while, this was gonna be a busy night.
Nate went to pick them up for the ceremony and he also had to face Chief Ford. I mean, good luck to him!
