Excitement buzzed through the Enchanted Claw Pack's territory as the day of Selene's 12th birthday approached. The enchanting scent of fresh flowers filled the air as the pack members busily prepared for the celebration. Selene's parents, Alpha Eric and Luna Diana, had been meticulously planning the event for weeks, determined to make their daughter's special day truly unforgettable.

Selene couldn't contain her enthusiasm as the sun rose on the morning of her birthday. Her excitement was palpable as she bounded out of her cozy den, her tail wagging with delight. She knew her party was going to be special, but she had no idea what surprises lay in store. As the day progressed, she found herself eagerly counting down the hours until the celebration.

The Quadruplets—Ronan, Connor, Oscar, and Hudson—had of course been invited as Selene had also been invited to their birthday, Selene felt that the bond they shared was unbreakable. As the future Alphas, they carried a certain level of responsibility, but when they were together, they let their youthful spirits shine.

As the afternoon sun bathed the clearing in a warm glow, Selene's birthday party commenced. Colorful banners adorned the trees, gently swaying in the breeze, and the pack members gathered, their eyes filled with affection for the young wolf destined to become their future leader.

Amid the cheerful chatter and the soft rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze, the Quadruplets made their way to the front of the gathering, their steps confident and their smiles bright. Each carried a beautifully wrapped gift, adorned with ribbons and colors that seemed to reflect the very essence of Selene's joyful spirit. Her heart swelled with gratitude, knowing that her friends had put thought and care into what they wanted to give her on this momentous day.

"Happy birthday, Selene!" Ronan exclaimed with genuine excitement, holding out a small box adorned with swirling patterns in pastel purple. His amber eyes glimmered with warmth as she eagerly took the gift and carefully untied the ribbon. The package felt delicate yet substantial in her hands. As the lid came off, a gasp of delight escaped her lips when she revealed a pair of exquisite pastel purple wireless earbuds, their iridescent sheen catching the sunlight. "Ronan, these are amazing! I've always wanted a pair like these!" Selene exclaimed, her eyes shining with joy as she pulled him into a tight hug.

Next in line was Connor, his calm and composed demeanor masking the excitement he felt inside. He presented her with a delicate package adorned with an assortment of wildflowers and leaves, carefully arranged to create an enchanting pattern. With a soft smile, she unwrapped the gift, revealing a set of crystal jelly lip balms, each with a unique flower encased inside. "Oh, Connor, these are stunning!" Selene remarked, touched by the beauty and thoughtfulness of the gift. "I'll cherish these for sure. Thank you!" she said, beaming at him with heartfelt appreciation.

Oscar stepped forward with a warm, friendly grin, holding a pastel purple instant camera in his hands. "Happy birthday, Selene," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "This way, you can capture all the special moments on your birthday and keep them forever." Selene's heart fluttered at the sentiment behind the gift, and she couldn't help but feel touched by Oscar's thoughtfulness. She wrapped her arms around him in a heartfelt hug, grateful for the friendship they shared.

Lastly, it was Hudson's turn, and a playful glint danced in his eyes as he handed her a large box wrapped in purple paper adorned with whimsical wolf paw prints. Selene's curiosity piqued, and she couldn't wait to see what he had chosen for her. As she peeled away the wrapping, she revealed a pair of cozy pastel purple wolf slippers. Her laughter filled the air, and she slipped them on, wiggling her toes. "Hudson, you've outdone yourself with this one!" she teased, grinning at her mischievous friend. "These are fantastic! I'll be wearing them around the packhouse all the time!"

"I knew you'd love them," Hudson chuckled, pleased with her reaction.

With the Quadruplets' thoughtful and heartfelt gifts, Selene felt an overwhelming surge of love and support from her pack members who were witnessing this heartwarming exchange. They all knew that Selene's journey as the chosen Representative of The Moon Goddess was destined to be extraordinary, and they wanted to celebrate her and remind her how cherished she was by each of them.

The day continued with laughter, games, and delicious treats.

The daring race through the forest brought out the competitive spirit in everyone, and Selene couldn't help but admire how skillful the Quadruplets were, each showcasing their unique abilities.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden hue over the horizon, the pack members gathered around a bonfire, its warm glow dancing in their eyes. The Quadruplets sat close to Selene, their bond stronger than ever, as they exchanged stories and laughter under the night sky.
