The Moon Goddesses’ Promise

Introductions

Kiera, Sophia and the others were standing to the left behind the gazebo, waiting be introduced to the kingdom. Kiera’s father Rich was in the middle of the gazebo with Clarice standing to his left and Kode standing to his right. Rich and Kode were both wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath the jacket. Clarice was wearing a dark red dress that was tight fighting on her slender body. Her family all had the air of authority and strength as the lycan royal family.

Rich stepped forward and the pack quieted down, waiting patiently for Rich to speak.

“Good evening, tonight we celebrate several of our children receiving their wolves tonight. This is an important time in any werewolf’s life. Tonight we will witness 5 amazing young werewolves who will meet their wolf for the first time. On top of witnessing this coming of age event we also have the honor of hosting King Gabriel and Prince Stephen of the La Lune D’argent Kingdom,” pausing, Rich bowed towards where King Gabriel and Prince Stephen were seated at the front table. King Gabriel raised his glass while Prince Stephen nodded.

Kiera was interested about these royals, who had interrupted her father’s and brother’s breakfast. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see much past the pillars and ivy that covered the gazebo.

“Allies are always welcome here and we appreciate the opportunity of having you here to help is celebrate with us our shifting ceremony. We also have the Alpa Thomas and Luna Arial from Moon Star Forest and Beta Darren and his wife Katrina from the Night Stone Pack. Thank you for joining us on this evening,” said Rich. The Alpha, his Luna, the Beta and his wife both all bowed before the king, prince and queen.

“Now, it is time to introduce our children who will shift for the first time tonight!” Rich exclaimed as he stepped to the side for his wife to move to the middle. A loud roar of clapping and whistles erupted from the spectators.

“Good evening! As your queen I celebrate with!” Proclaimed Clarice, with a huge smile on her face. “Tonight I am proud to introduce to you the 5 children who will shift, but I am biased about a particular one!” Laughter erupted through the crowd. “Let me introduce you to these amazing children who will one day be important members as well as leaders of our pack!” More cheers and claps rumbled through the crowd.

“First off, may I introduce Sherry Duncan, daughter of kitchen maid Mattie and cook Fredrick Duncan.” Sherry, a mousy red headed girl, stepped forward. Sherry was wearing a loose fitting, plain white dress. Her most memorable feature was her bright green eyes. Sherry stepped towards Clarice as the crowd clapped and cheered for her. Kode came up and gave her a bouquet of red flowers. A blush creeped on Sherry’s face as she curtsied and bowed in front of the prince.

“Second, Samuel Evans, son of Stacy and First Lieutenant Charles Evans!” Sam stepped forward, he was tall and beginning to show muscles through his white shirt. Sam had began training to be a warrior a few months ago and was already showing the promise his dad had when he was Sam’s age. Sam had short strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. Most of Kiera’s friends from school had a huge crush on him. She did know Sam always seemed to say he was going to save himself for his mate but had been known to make out with a few of the girls behind the school.

“We now have Charles, son of Daphne and Gamma Zack Webb!” Charles stepped forward, a brown eyed boy with chocolate hair that he wore long. Charles had been training for about a year to take over his father’s place as gamma, once Kode becomes king when he turns 21. Charles took his place by Sam.

“I am pleased to introduce Sophia, daughter of Rebecca and Beta Hendrix Campbell!” Sophia looked amazing in her white babydoll dress Kiera thought. Walking on the stage, Sophia accidentally tripped over a vine that had began to grow at the top of the steps, Sophia landed hard into Kode’s arms as he tried to steady her. Sophia, realizing who was holding her up, mumbled an apology as her face turned bright red. She quickly stood next to Charles, Kode walked up to her with a sunflower bouquet, which he handed to her.

“It is now with great pleasure and pride,” Clarice shouted enthusiastically“to introduce your very own princess Kiera, daughter of Queen Guinevere Clarice and King Richard Andrew Beaufort.” As Kiera stepped forward, she was welcomed by the cheers of her people. Her pack shared their queen and kings pride as they stared at their beautiful, young princess. Kiera’s white dress had thin spaghetti straps that outlined her slender frame. The skirt of the dress had a split that revealed Kiera’s long legs. On her feet she had on white, high heeled sandals. Her diamond tiara, that sat on the top of her head glistened in the fading sunlight. As she took her place by Sophia, Kode brought her a bouquet of tulips, Kiera’s favorite flowers. He leaned down to her, whispering“You don’t look half bad care bear,” in her ear. It took her every ounce of restraint to not role her eyes.

“These are once again our beautiful children with whom we celebrate tonight!” Her mother cried out as all present cheered. It was at this moment Kiera’s eyes drifted towards the front table on the right side of the gazebo. There sat a man with short black hair, a beard, and enchanting bright blue eyes. Next to him sat another man, who was younger and had longer black hair that was tied in a ponytail and the same blue eyes as the older man he sat next to. Both men were staring at her, the younger one with a slight smile on his face.

There was a familiarity about the younger man. Although she had never met him before, she felt as if she knew him. Kiera felt her cheeks feeling hot as she realized she was still staring at the man. He widened his smile at her and Kiera felt a warm tingling sensation spread over her body.

“We have a few hours before the moon is full. Please eat, dance, and enjoy!” cried out her mother, moving to join her husband as the people cheered. Those on the gazebo moved off to join the party. Kiera quickly caught up with her brother and asked what the strange two men were sitting at the table.

Looking over, Kode sighed and let her know that was King Gabriel and his son Prince Stephen. Keira quickly turned her head to look at the visiting royals, King Gabriel was talking to her father, while Prince Stephen was staring at her. The warm, tingling feeling heated up Kiera’s body again. Confused, she quickly turned away to join her friend Sophia at the buffet to get a plate of food.
