Midnight Moons

Midnight Moons

POV: Xavier

The pack assembled on the training field. Before taking the podium, I scanned my pack with pride. Over 1500 wolves stared back at me. Solemn expressions met my gaze as I looked at each face.

"Brothers and sisters, we are gathered once again in our age-old tradition of welcoming new wolves into the pack. When the Moon Goddess bestowed powers upon the first wolf, she did so under the full moon. From that day until this, every werewolf is influenced by the power of the moon." I boomed over crowd.

"Every wolf in the Midnight Moons pack is special to me. From Alpha to Omega, each of you has a place in this pack. Each wolf is entitled to safety and protection within these borders. As such, each wolf is responsible for ensuring that the pack thrives and grows. The moon is near her zenith. Raise your glasses as we welcome the newest Midnight Moons wolves!"

The sound of 1500 wolves cheering caused the packhouse windows to shake. Whistles, cheers, and howls filled the air as my Luna led the first-shifters to the front of the dais.

Dressed in white gauze gowns to cover their nakedness, the wolves looked up at me in solemn silence.

"Precious ones, in a moment, your human bodies will undergo significant changes as your wolf emerges. I won't lie to you, your first shift can be painful. It won't always be that way, so don't let the pain stop you from experiencing this important gift of the goddess." I looked at the nervous wolves to be.

Behind me, the giant clock at the pack school could be heard faintly as the seconds ticked to midnight.

"Experience the power of the moon!"

The sounds of cracking bones filled the air. I looked at Hope and the other young wolves. I saw Hope drop to her knees as her spine elongated and her human legs broke to make way for the more powerful wolf legs. Huge canine fangs burst through her gums, elongating her snout.

Tim and Dana stood near Hope to ease her transformation. As her hands lengthened into massive paws, I was surprised to see gold fur springing from her skin. Hope is a Gold wolf!

Startled, Tim and Dana looked at me. Within moments, Hope stood before the dais in all her glory. Her face broke into a goofy wolf grin as she jumped and ran around in circles.

Cheers broke out in the crowd as twenty five other wolves completed their transformation. Yips and barks filled the air as each wolf exploded with the sheer pleasure of their new forms.

"Wolves of Midnight Moons, transform! The full moon run can begin." I hopped down from the dais and shifted mid-air.

All around me, my pack shifted and joined the new wolves. Howls filled the air as my wolf Ian led the pack out of the training area. As we approached the open field behind the packhouse, my mate, Tim, Hope, Connor and Dana joined me at the head of the pack.

Hope's golden wolf paced and leapt around Tim. Her wolf licked his face and nipped at his neck. I guess that means they are fated mates after all.

Connor's and Dana's wolves pranced back in forth in front of Hope, admiring her golden fur. Hope turned around in circles as if modeling new clothes.

My wolf suddenly dashed from the pack towards the woods. Close to 1500 wolves thundered behind him. Giant paws slapped the ground, the sounds deafening. Ian lifted his massive head and howled. The pack run was on!

All around me, wolves raced through our pack lands. Midnight Moons was fortunate to have a territory filled with hills, beaches, woods, and running streams. Wolves ran in all directions as each opted for their favorite terrain.

The pack run was organized yet chaotic. We would run for hours, experiencing nearly every corner of the territory. Wolves ran in large subgroups to ensure safety, but each wolf was free to run as hard or as fast as they chose.

Elders, mothers, and guards didn't participate in the run, so nearly 300 wolves remained at the compound. However every wolf was linked through our telepathic mindlink.

"First guards, return to the pack house to relieve your brothers and sisters so they can enjoy the run." Ian commanded the pack via mindlink.

Two hundred wolves immediately peeled off and returned to the packhouse. These warriors understood the importance of protecting the pack, but they also understood duty.

New howls filled the air as the relieved guards now shifted and joined the run. Although my wolf Ian was enjoying the run, my mind remained sharp. Peering through Ian's eyes allowed me to also keep an eye on the pack.

Naoko's beautiful red wolf caught up to Ian and nipped his heels. Ian spun around in delight and covered our mate's face with wolf kisses. Mentally I closed my eyes as I enjoyed the force of their mating. Mated wolves are together for life. The mate bound exists for both the human form and the wolf form. Ian loved Tamiko, Naoko's wolf as much as I loved Naoko. The physical attraction between wolves is all encompassing.

As Ian and Tamiko mated, Naoko and I experienced wave after wave of pleasure during their coupling. Ian was in full control as he enjoyed his mate for hours.

Mated wolves broke away from the run to enjoy intimacy. Guards and unmated wolves continued to run. Briefly I wondered if Tim and Hope would enjoy their fated status or wait. As his father and Alpha, I was overjoyed with the mate the Moon Goddess gave him.

Ian's powerful howl signalled the end of the run. Wolves headed towards the training field. While we were running, the field had been changed into a banquet hall. The aroma of moked and grilled meats filled Ian's nostrils causing our mouth to water.

Ian and Tamiko ran shoulder to shoulder. Leaping over a grassy dune, they shifted on the fly. Naoko and I giggled over our nakedness before putting on thin garments tied around our ankles. Gym shorts for me and a sexy onesie for her.

I growled and lifted my sexy wife. She immediately wrapped her legs around my waist. I licked my mark on her neck, causing my erection to poke through my gym shorts.

"Easy there wolfey. Ian and Tamiko wore me out. I need sustenance. We eat first." Naoko shimmied out of my grasp but made sure she rubbed her delectable little body against my d**k on her way down.

She grabbed my hand and led me to our table. I heard cheers and chuckles from nearby wolves as they enjoyed the playfulness of their Alpha and Luna.

"You heard your Luna. Let's eat!"
