The Enchanted Claw Pack's living room was bathed in the soft glow of the evening, casting warm shadows upon the wooden floors. The family had gathered, and the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. Alpha Eric cleared his throat, his expression a mixture of determination and concern.

"I wanted to talk to all of you about something important," Eric began, his gaze shifting from face to face as he addressed his wife, Diana, his son, Matthew, his daughter, Selene, and Daphne, the Luna of the pack.

Diana nodded, a graceful smile on her face as she encouraged Eric to continue. Matthew, who had fully recovered from his injuries, sat attentively, his eyes reflecting his curiosity. Selene, however, wore a thoughtful expression, a hint of uncertainty clouding her features. Daphne, wise and supportive, watched with interest.

"I've been considering the idea of Selene attending the Mystic Moon Academy," Eric announced, his gaze now firmly fixed on Selene.

The room fell into a thoughtful silence as everyone absorbed Eric's words. It was Matthew who spoke first, his voice filled with genuine enthusiasm. "That's a great idea, Dad! I attended the academy when I was younger, and it helped me a lot in understanding my abilities."

Diana nodded in agreement. "I think it could be a wonderful opportunity for Selene. The academy offers a unique environment where she can learn and grow."

Daphne, too, added her support. "I went to the academy as well, and it was there that I met Matthew. It's a place that fosters not just learning but also lasting friendships."

Eric turned his attention back to Selene, his gaze gentle yet firm. "Selene, I believe this could be a chance for you to explore your abilities further and be among peers who understand what it means to be a supernatural. But ultimately, the decision is yours."

Selene bit her lower lip, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. She looked at her family, each face expressing their support and belief in her. But one question gnawed at her, a question she had been asking herself since she became the representative.

"Would people still like me there, Dad? Would they be kind to me just because I'm the representative?" Selene's voice held a hint of vulnerability.

Eric leaned forward, placing a reassuring hand on Selene's shoulder. "Selene, you are so much more than just the representative. You're a kind, strong, and intelligent young woman. People will see that in you, and you'll make friends who appreciate you for who you are."

Diana chimed in, her eyes filled with motherly affection. "And remember, dear, no matter where you go, we'll always be here for you. The academy is just another step in your journey."

Selene's heart swelled with gratitude for her family's support. She knew their words came from genuine love and care. With a determined nod, she finally spoke, "Okay, Dad, I'll go to the Mystic Moon Academy."

A collective sigh of relief filled the room as the family shared smiles of approval and pride. Selene's doubts were natural, but her courage to embrace new challenges was a testament to her strength.

As they continued to discuss the logistics and preparations for Selene's enrollment, the living room was filled with a sense of unity and purpose. The decision had been made, and the future held the promise of new adventures and experiences for Selene.

The Mystic Moon Academy awaited, with its secrets, challenges, and opportunities, and Selene was ready to step into the next chapter of her extraordinary life.
