CHAPTER 10
TOMORROW’S YOUR BIRTHDAY
Jamie: So, Aiden tells rose and I that you’re turning 18 tomorrow.
Luna: Yeah,
Rose: Do you have anything in mind as for themes?
Luna: Not really, Just really just as long as it’s outdoors. I like being out here, it’s relaxing, and calming to me.
Jamie: We all understand exactly what you mean. It's why we live out here, its why all our kind live out here in areas like this. Our wolves are one with nature as well as Lycans but…
King David-Pop: Us Lycans can adapt anywhere but prefer nature as well.
Beta Michael turns to Luna
Beta Michael: Sorry to interrupt you Princess Luna, but I'm going to be escorting you to our library today to study our laws and those of the Lycans as per your grandfather’s wishes.
Michael and I head out of the Pack-house and start walking towards the library
Luna: And who will be training me to fight on Monday if not you?
Beta Michael: That will be our Zeta the lead warrior Lucas.
Luna: Uhm you guys have Warriors?
Beta Michael: Yes, don't worry that’s why we’re going to the library today. The sooner you understand the ranks the easier everything will be to understand how we work in a pack. You’ll need to know all of this if you are to challenge your father.
Luna: (Growls) He’s not my father!! HE’s my mother’s rapist!
Beta Michael: I’m Sorry Princess Luna, I wasn’t aware of the details. Alpha Aiden assigned me as your guide and guard for the time being. Will that be ok with you?
Luna: (Raised brow) I get the guide part buy guard? Really from what?
Beta Michael: Your grandparents, your mom and, my Alpha feels it’s necessary for a guard at all times, just so we don't have a repeat of what happened a few days ago.
Luna: Ok, but seriously at all times? Don't you have a family to go back to or something?
Beta Michael: (Smirks) Why do you want to know? Are you fishing to see if I'm single?
Luna turns red with embarrassment
Luna: No, more like concerned you’ll have to be stuck with me all day.
Beta Michael: You make it sound as if I’m unbearable to be around.
Luna: Uhm, Yeah, it will be if you’re around at all times. will I ever get a moment to myself?
Beta Michael: Yes, you’ll go to the bathroom and bed alone if that's what you’re wondering.
Luna: Obviously, but if I’m on the territory do you still need to hover?
Beta Michael: (Laughing) Yes, always.
Luna: Ugh, fine.
-----------------
After several hours of learning the laws and chain of command of the Wolves Michael gave Luna a tour of the territory borders.
Beta Michael: Ok, we should head back, it's time for dinner.
Luna: Ok, I’m starving as if I haven’t had eaten a thing all day.
Beta Michael: Tomorrow you’ll be turning 18 that means…
Luna interrupts
Luna: I’ll be getting my wolf officially.
Beta Michael: Uhm, yeah, I think but it’s hard to say because you’re a Lycan too. Your Lycan is with you since birth, and you can shift at any time you’re in danger, but we wolves get ours at 18 and you’re an Alpha King’s pup, it’s different. I don’t know you might look like a wolf, but you’ll defiantly be stronger with most Lycan traits.
Luna: So I might be larger than a Canis Dirus but smaller than a Canis Armbrusteri with Lycan abilities.
Beta Michael: (Laughing) I didn’t peg you for a walking encyclopedia.
Luna: What’s that supposed to mean?
Beta Michael: Nothing bad you’re just very intellectual, I like smart people, but as for your assumptions, no you will not be near the size of an Armbruster’s wolf nor a Dire wolf. You will not be much larger.
Luna: What do you mean I will be? How do you know?
Beta Michael: I know because of Alpha Aiden’s wolf is the size of a Dire wolf and the Alpha King Elijah is the size of an Armbruster’s wolf, so you will automatically be larger because of you’re also a Lycan, and if your Lycan form isn’t dominant you’ll probably be as large as Alpha King Elijah.
Luna: Well here’s hoping my Lycan side is dominant.
Luna’s POV
We arrive at the Pack-house in time for dinner. After tonight’s dinner, I hang out on the couch watching movies with Alpha Aiden’s Beta Michael, Zeta Lucas, and two Etas Jax and Reed.
*1. ALPHA / LUNA = PACK LEADERS
2. BETA = SECOND IN COMMAND
3. GAMMA = THIRD IN COMMAND ALSO WISEST
4. DELTA = PACK MESSENGERS
5. EPSILON = GUARDS
6. ZETA = HIGHEST RANKING WARRIORS
7. ETA = WARRIORS LED BY ZETAS OR EPSILON
8. OMEGA = LOWEST OF LOW LAST TO EAT
9. ROGUE = WOLF WITH NO RULES A MERCILESS KILLER*
Luna: Hey can I ask you guys a question other than the one I’m asking now?
I’m not sure if they were going to be smart asses and say I already asked but instead they answered in unison.
End POV
Beta Michael: Yeah,
Eta Jax: Yeah,
Eta Reed: Yeah,
Zeta Lucas: Yeah,
Luna: What should I expect tomorrow because I’m nervous. Will it just be your pack and my family or what?
Beta Michael: Don’t worry you’re safe here Alpha King Elijah cannot step on our land without permission.
Zeta Lucas: And we are here to protect you, princess.
Eta Reed: But you can expect some neighboring packs to come to visit as well it’s your 18th birthday and…
Jax cuts in
Eta Jax: You're a Royal Princess, and soon you’ll be our Queen and reign over all the packs of North America, but only a few Alphas and their unmated sons will come to your birthday.
Luna: Why the Alphas and their unmated sons only?
Beta Michael: Well it’s only a few Alpha’s, Luna’s, their sons, and Gammas from their packs so you can get acquainted and maybe possibly find your mate.
Zeta Lucas: And that's if your mate is even a wolf.
Eta Reed: Yeah, he might be a Lycan like you.
Eta Jax: Dude the Princess and her family are the last of the Lycans or so I heard.
Beta Michael: Only in North America, but there are more in Europe.
Luna: You never know there’s probably more Lycans here and they don't even know it.
Beta Michael: That is possible. Since the King and Queen can hide their scents.
Luna: Ok, well good night I’m heading to bed. Thank you for today.
Beta Michael: You’re welcome, good night Princess.
Zeta Lucas: Good night Princess.
Eta Reed: Good night Princess.
Eta Jax: Good night Princess.
As Luna gets closer to her room, she gets even more nervous worrying about what to expect tomorrow. Will everything be different forever.
