Being weak has never been a permanent thing to the almighty fated Luna whose husband has recently passed on,now she has the sit.
It has not been easy for the Luna since her husband passed away,he was recently buried and it still has been paining the left wife and twin daughters with nothing but misery,the pain is too much and it weakens them, it's just hard to accept .
Either way,life goes on .The girls had turned 17 last year without their father alive and they have always looked forward to having to turn eighteen this year and shift to their she-wolve form with their father present to guide them as their Alpha, unfortunately life happened and the Alpha had fallen too soon,to death.
Two years ago the almighty Alpha was pronounced dead on the early times after a cold night.He was at his house with his wife on their bed when he started coughing blood.He had been grinning over a stomach bug since he came back from his family gathering ceremony which was a week before his twin daughters sixteenth birthday.
The Alpha knew that the chances of him getting killed was higher because of the hatred and jealousy his other family and pack members had for him.He had always known that ever since he was reigned an Alpha years ago and many had not been pleasantly genuine to congratulate him or support him fully.
He knew how they felt about him being an Alpha and leading their pack,they had also just little faith that he can actually lead and had their minds made up that he should be removed as soon as possible.
The Alpha's male cousins and two aunts,had plotted against him,they had planned his death and they managed.It is in my deepest believe to know that they killed him,they plotted and succeeded.
At the ceremony,they were so friendly to him for the first time and the other cousin, which the Alpha had trusted the most with his whole life, offered him a drink,A glass of champagne to cool off ..
After ceremony the Alpha went home and had started having sypmtoms if a severe stomach bug ,he said he want to rest so that he wakes up better,He could feel his intestines literally separating from his soul,the pain was just a lot,He groaned the whole night until around midnight when the Luna didn't hear him groaning anymore when he was Gone .
He was not breathing .
The Luna looked at her husband lying on the bed next to her lifeless,thee most hopeless painful moment one could ever go through in this life,that was the moment she had sworn that whoever has a hand in her husband death will pay.
The Luna cried all she can and did not scream to wake up her daughters, she looked at the time and it was two in the morning,she was messed up and didn't know what to do with herself,she knew she had to be strong though,the situation was sudden and she did not expect to lose her Alpha mate.
She went outside and went down the road to the woods place,the moon was shining bright but the snow had covered almost everything,she took off her gown and shifted into her she-wolve form.With the white furry and blue eyes,she went for a run,She needed it,she needed to think about everything that's going to happen next....
The Luna came back before the sunrise and went back to the house in the human form,she had no idea how she's going to tell everyone that their Alpha has fallen,that he is no more!!!
She got in their bedroom and found him lying still where he left him,his body,His soul was not there ..She looked at her Alpha corpse and right there she couldn't hold it anymore.
Bursted into tears and screamed her lungs out,the pain was kicking in and she was also getting weak,The girl heard the scream from their parents room and they rushed still sleepy trying to figure out what is happening.
They got in the room and saw their dad there,Angela rushed to bed seeing that he is not moving even when the mother is crying,she knew right there that the stomach bug has taken him,they couldn't understand. How could this happen on their birthday week?
How could the universe be so cruel to them? that's the only thing that was on their minds,they all cried so bad that even the security guys came to ask what's happening .
They gathered themselves up as they knew they had only each other to can get through the tragic at their hands.The sun rises and everyone and every pack member had to know about the death of their Alpha.
By ten every pack member was aware of the Alpha's death and the whole pack was in sorrow,the black cloud had fallen and they knew it's about to get bad,and really bad...
The Alpha was to be buried on the day that his twin daughters turns sixteen,and there was no way that could be escaped,that was the only way a tradition could be followed .It was beyond their control and they let it happen anyway.
The Warrior, greatest Alpha of the light Moon's pack,was buried on his daughters birthday and the funeral went well,there were numbers and the funeral was it was supposed to be..
The sudden death though had many eyebrows raised and many wondered what have caused it,the Luna explained it at the funeral the exact way which it happened.The stomach bug then suddenly death.
The family tried to be there for each other than ever and the support was there,from every member of the pack,Alpha Roni was the best leader of the pack and he had earned a huge respect throughout the years of his serving.
Everyone promised to be there until the daughters and Their Luna are back on their feet,they had learned to live and accept that it's only three of them that what's going to be case until eternity.
It's been only three of them ever since the Alpha passed,they even are coming into terms with the fact that he is gone ,such things are not easy to accept but life on it's own forced them to accept their reality and live with it.
Luna Carley,has sworn to keep her daughters safe and sound for as long as she lives,she loved them and showed it under no condition,they were all she has and all she could ever live for after all .
She made sure that she fills the father's void in all means and she did,even though sometimes the girl would just miss their dad,she tried to be there for them,fully so and going all out in terms of all their wants and needs.
The twin's birthday from their sixteenth one would always be a bad reminder,on their seventeenth birthday they decided not to celebrate it and just honour their father's life.
They made a memorial day and held a memorial service instead of a party and it was a way of healing process,They managed to get lighter and felt good about the chance they were given with their father.
They had planned and agreed that they are going to celebrate their eighteenth birthday in a happy form,they agreed on what they have both dreamed to get since they were young.
Amber and Angela,the only daughters of the Late Alpha Roni,the only seeds he planted and took care of to bloom,they had always planned their eighteenth birthday since they were five,they would always talk about it in a yearning way,they had always looked forward to it.
They had everything planned and had everything planned of how they want their party to be like,they also knew that turning eighteen is a milestone In their world,as they would be shifting to their wolve Form for the very first time, they curious about their wolve looks and are looking forward to having to know,what kinda she-wolves are they .
FIRST PERSON NARRATING
"It's our eighteen birthday party tomorrow,why is that why you not looking happy"?Asked my twin sister,Amber ...she is the most free sprited one in the house and always makes sure that everyone is doing well...
I'm alright,I said to her with my face glued to my playing intertwined hands on top of the table,it was when she got closer to me that I bursted in tears,I could literally feel my heart breaking...
what's wrong Angela?Asked Amber with a great look of concern on her face,she knew I was not okay and she knew what could be wrong...I miss dad,I said sobbing down on her chest,she had opened her arms wide and assured me that Dad is looking over us.
I believed her,and it made me feel better,it made me feel happy that at least dad lived until I was almost eighteen , it's been two years without him but I still have thoughts of him roaming on my mind .
Only a day left and me and my sister we shifting,a day before a shift is the most sacred in our pack,it is the most valued time in our lives and had always been since ancient times.
My dad was the son of the greatest Beta in the existing packs ,he was the last born of 3 and had taken the alpha seat just after finding his mate ,the Luna...They were together for almost 3 decades and still going strong...
A decade after their marriage, that's when the twin daughters were conceived, Angela and Amber,named after the Alpha's late twin sisters who passed away due to sickness.
It was only three of them and hence the throne was his.
*******
On our sixteenth birthday which was the day my dad got laid to his final rest, my sister Amber had overheard the eldest members of the pack with my mother discussing who will be the next To sit on the throne.
She says she heard them mentioning that we only left with two years to shift, therefore after shifting we would be fit enough to can be Lunas!!!!!!the leaders of the Light Moon's pack, something like that.
My sister told me days after she overheard it,she thought I would panic or maybe tell my mom that we know what the elders plans are, because it has not been a conversation that both my parents has ever had us with.
It was not something that we also had set as a priority on our minds,we understood that we are the Alpha's daughter and and that some recession would have to be made if one of the parents passes away,yet not what we had set our minds for the future to.
I didn't tell anyone,I was just as astonished as her,but a deeper soul of mine was happy that my our eighteen birthday comes bearing somethings,since then I had always wished time could go faster so that I could shift.
********************
"We need to start preparing for the party"Said Amber to me, trying to awaken my sense of happiness,I knew the day would come but now that it's here, there's just a glimpse of sadness covering up that it's a milestone what's coming our way.
Mom had hired cooks and servers for tomorrow,and the catering people will make it in the early morning to make sure that everything goes according to the plan,we had chosen royal blue and white for the theme as that was our favorite color.
There are hired professionals but after all it's our party and regardless of the profession help we had,we needed to make sure that everything is in its place and all in order...
My mom has promised us to go shopping for our big day tomorrow,she said that we can have all that we want to have at the mall,the mall was owned by my dad's family before the Beta who was taking care of it and managing it passed away,so my dad had sold it to another pack member in exchange for money,beside,there were already businesses to be attended to.
The gas selling business,the filling station at the pack's boarder and other businesses my mother has not yet told us about.
The last day for our birthday came and my mom took us out as had promised,we went to the mall and we looked around and chose our outfits for the party, which is tomorrow afternoon.
I chose a baby blue dress with a royal blue jacket,and blue crystal heels,my sister Amber bought the same ,we pretty much have the same taste in coming to everything,we identical twins anyway ,of course we ought to love the same things,from the food we love to eat,to the way we do things in everything we do.
It has always been just the two of us with no siblings or any other for that matter,we had lived through each other and we were basically each other's characters,I wonder what our wolve forms would look like ,the same?or different?well we're yet to find out.
We had bought everything we've wanted for tomorrow,also went for a lunch and some snack,my mom likes spoiling her daughters regardless,the best mother we could have ever asked for,she put our feelings and happiness first before anyone's and makes sure that she lives to see our smiles everday of her life
Our smiles gave her hope that everything will be alright,a form of light in her eyes assuring life and it's greatness in overall,she would do anything for us any day any time and we were thankful to have that kind of Love from the one we supposed to get it from.
The void my father's has left was not a wider space and the woman we call Mom made sure of this,she could never go wrong in any day to make us happy,she lived for us.
I was happy and couldn't wait for tomorrow's party , I'll be rocking my new outfit and will make sure I enjoy every single moment, I'd be knowing my wolve form and could find a mate too!!!
My sister Amber ain really like me personality wise,she is more grown and acts big all the time,she does not go crazy over a few new outfits, she's a tough nut and sometimes does not even show any emotion towards certain situations,or rather she acts tough to be there for me always.
We drove back home after a long beautiful at the mall,a beautiful day before our birthday for a first in a while and comfortable moment our hearts could afford to be after all we had been through on our previous two birthdays .
We got home and the first thing on our minds was to take a shower to refresh our tired bodies,we have a long day of birthday celebration tomorrow and we need as enough rest and shower as we can have to be able to be up and running tommorow.
It's after dinner and only four hours left for us to shift and midnight is slowly approaching.Shifting is what we always knew would happen when we reach the age we reaching tomorrow,my mom has always tried to make us understand the concept of shifting and what it comes with.
We have had guidance our whole life and we had to be ready,we were ready...I was fully ready to see my developed woman-wolve form and anything that's coming with my growth.
We will be shifting in few hours and I can feel the anxiety crawling in, "Shifting shouldn't be something to worry over"saying Amber passing to her bedroom ,she doesn't even seem scared at all.
We had to have some rest at Least for a few minutes,have time to ourselves and be physically ready and strong for the big thing coming our way,so I went to my bedroom too to have some rest too.
I layed on the bed with my back and looked at the roof top,I was not tired but the sleepiness came as strong,I tried to fight it by keeping my eyes wide open and I failed,I fell asleep right there.
And suddenly was in a dream,in this dream are two white and gray female wolves,they are running in the forest full of snow,the gray wolve is running faster than the white wolve,and playfully poking the side of the the white wolve, where the white wolve accidentally traps over sharpend wood that cut through the feet and rolls over it's back,it got deeply cut and injured and had a whole pool of blood.
There was blood over and there more the wolves ran the more the blood came out,it kept coming out, more and more of blood was coming out and was unstoppable,it was flowing from the wolve foot and tarnishing the whole place with blood and suddenly the snow had turned all Red!!
I woke up from the dream sweating and when I looked at the time and it was about to be midnight,five minutes was left for a big moment and we had to go shift outside to Avoid having to break anything in the house.
I just took my gown and got in sleepers and went downstairs,where I found my sister Amber and mother already waiting for me, just as we had said over supper that mother will wake up at midnight too to can be able to see her daughters shifting,she wanted to be there,and in all ways possible.
It was almost midnight,when the three of us stepped outside the front door's vareenda,the blue earth coloured by the full moon was waiting for us,fully....a smell of new beginnings too from afar.
We had taken our gowns off and naked,the bones breaking hard is what I could feel, literally the most painful pleasure I've ever experienced, I shifted into a white furry she-wolve,my wolve was jumping and had emotions high after a shift,a life revoked after all was pleasant to her .
She was strong and had me all in pain,but it still felt nice to have finally met her,an amazing wolve that's gonna develop!!.
I turned around me and I saw two wolves,one of white butore creamer colour,and that was definitely Amber,we are twins and I had expected similarities in both our wolves...well they were there and visible,the most fascinating eyes Amber she-wolve had, about my she-wolve size and almost as big as Mom's .
My mother was standing before us,a big grey and White she-wolve Luna,The most strongest among werewolves,she had always been preparing for this moment,to stand before us and lead the way in a form of comfort, I bet and thank God the time finally came.
"Ready?"my mother asked us ,we looked up at her when she turned her face with our paws already aligned ,we were ready for our first run.
My mom started and we were running after her,the best speed for the starter and actually a nicer comfortable form we in,we ran through the snowy forest and made circles running, about three rounds and my wolve still jumping with excitement.
The forest and everything in it looks much better than when we in human form, everything seems so big and in peace,I guess this is it,what we have been waiting for the longest time ever .
On our way back home,I saw an image of a big grey wolve,an illusion type of image that even got a bit constant as much as I was avoiding it, I did not want to think much over it but I do know that in a way, dad's wolve spirit was there, running with us and enjoying with the the twin daughters of the Alpha Roni and their Luna
******
We all jogged back to the house and Amber was playing the whole way poking my paws, wanting me to give in and play with her,It was such an amazing moment formither to experience all this,her daughters have fully developed and shifted,what a journey!
When we got back to the house,we had to shift again and go back to our human forms,The most painful and no pleasure at all,I felt my spine forwarding the pain to the head and all the round and up .Cold pain of breaking bones felt .
We wore our gowns as we entered the house freezing.When we got in the house the time was ten minutes to one o'clock, meaning we had a whole lot of forty minutes during our shift outside,of which a lot was from running and having to shift back to the human form.
We sat on the table with our mother and had tea prepared so that we go back to our beds warm.
"You did well"my mom said looking happy and bright,for her daughters were now women and the ready future Luna's of the Pack.
"Thank you Mom,but what's going to happen now? was this all?I asked looking straight into my mother's eyes, piercing my look through her eyes and really wanting to know what is really the next part,an educated Luna surely knows,she has been living for years and surely knows everything by heart and nails.
I knew there was more that had to come with shifting but did not know exactly what it could be,well I also understood a little bit about having to be mated,by fate at that, I had learned all this from my school mate who had shifted a year before us,Everly Robortson, she's one of the pack members and her mother, Petunia wit same second name as Everly, was the trusted and favourite of my father.
Her mother has worked as our maid for few years,until my father saw her intelligence and the much potential she has when it came to books,he gave her a job aligned with her purpose and she's now a Library manager,she has been working there for five years and she's part of our family,she always comes to our family gatherings and even later on she's coming to the party, might even come earlier than everyone.
Hopefully she shall arrive with Everly and maybe we could talk about this and I could learn more about this mating thing .
"Well , there's a lot you need to learn and a lot that comes with it,but we can still have the discussion after the party "My mom said brushing off having to tell us what's really going to happen next."Alright, I'm going to sleep then"That was Amber too emotionless about having to sleep without knowing about the next thing that is going to happen,Even if it wouldn't be immediate or happen too soon,we had to know and understand. Well ,I really want to know,But it's alright for now it's a rest for the big party later on .
"Switch the lights off mam,we have a big one later"Said mom heading to her bedroom."yeah, goodnight".."Good morning Sweetheart"she said.
I chuckled as I turned the lights off heading to my bedroom too, snuggled inside the warm blankets and was out in a few,and the dream again ,the running in the white forest and the injury of the gray she-wolve.
**********
The birthday party**
"Wakey wakey"!!Amber getting in my bedroom and coming to hug me "Happy birthday sister"she says smiling and giving me a face full of sisterly love "Happy birthday sister"I said while holding her tightly ,my wolve jumped out of the comfort warmth and hugged her wolve, our wolves loves each and ate getting along very well ever since we shifted.
"what time is it?"
"It's almost twelve ,thee afternoon"-Amber
"oh,we have been out for too long, where's Mom? I'm asking knowing exactly that she normally would wake us up way earlier than that , probably at ten.
"Angela,Amber"My mom screams ouf names as she comes through the our bedrooms passage,"we here Mommy"Amber answers
Oh my sweet angels, happy birthday,I love you so so much",thank you Mom,we say hugging her,but she's holding a box at her other hand and she takes it out and says"here's your present"She has always bought us gifts wrapped in one box and And always gave it that way,We already know that there's a similar double what she bought and that it's the same color,blue!
We hugged her tightly and thanked for the present, unwrapped the box and it was two tiny wrapped boxes inside, meant for each of us, what could it be ?my Wolfe said out of curiosity,well only one way to find out is to open the box ,we set out time with and counted up to three, just like the old days when we were young.
One,two ,three ,tadaa!!!Oh my Lord!!The CAR KEY!!!!!BMW key ,both of us!!!I jumped out of bed crying and and had my face all soaked with tears,Amber also screaming like crazy around the bedroom failing to contain her happiness and the amount of it,we have never got anything this big from our parents and this was the most biggest of them all!!A car!!!!
We hugged and kissed her face all over wiping her tears as she emotions high seeing us this extremely happy after a long time,we could not stop thanking her and the love was just overwhelming the whole artmosphere and we were reminded of how far we've come and how far we've made it.
The three of us hugged for some few minutes and my wolve was at it's most comfortable zone ever,with family love and warmth felt it was excited and happy,it kept jumping and tickling me,and mom kissed both our foreheads and told us that she loves us more than anything in this world and that we are the best presents she could have ever got from the universe.
What a good start to our party, First birthday celebration after two full years,of pain and misery.
"today is a good day"my mom said to us with all smiles and happiness in her face and we could see she was proud too see what she has birthed and brought up,her seeds has grown to plants and now developing more into trees,more strongest,The daughters of the almighty Leaders.
"We need to prepare, it's almost one", says Amber standing up and heading out with mother,she went to take a bath and I made my bed and took a bath too,I slept for a bit long so my body is fresh as ever and I'm feeling very light,and Happy of course, we've come a long way,we deserved to at least be happy in our eighteenth birthday party.
We have already organized and put our outfits ready and perfect,have hired two make-up artist and they were the best ever known.The other one for me and the other for me
"knock knock,can I come in"came my make-up artist and surely the other one is at my sister's bedroom,We had agreed on a natural make but with more glamour on the eye circle and brows,we want some blue to Match with the colour of our dresses.
I checked up my message texts,and my friends were already downstairs,with their dates and they were already served with refreshments while waiting,the guests gathering up outside and a party getting combined after all,I cannot even wait to have my dress wrapped around my sexy body , It's a tight dress and all assets are going to be shown off.
"We need to hurry a little, it's half past three and we have to be downstairs by three,or even before....whatever is it, it should not be after three,the party needs to start.
"I'm almost done"says my make up artist spraying my face with a make-up spray to hold on make up on my face and finally we are done.
Thank you so much,I say looking myself in a mirror taking out the dress,wow my face looks so beautiful and I'm definitely and angel just like my parents named me.
I took the gown off and took off a new pair of bra and underwear that my mom got for me at the mall yesterday,Amber also took the same but a bra with a different pattern,a more complex one.
My dress is a simple beautiful dress that does not need any bigger effort,it has got two ropes on the wraist closing it up and and had my lower back revealed completely and nicely,with a silky soft skin glowing off.
It wrapps my lower parts and all the curveous assets are out there,I swear I've never felt this much sexy and beautiful ever before.
it's like I'm looking at a different Angela with a more radiant and beautiful face a d everything on my body, I'm gorgeous and I'm feeling it, I'm not a jewellery person so I just got one accessorie which is a necklace that my mom got along with the dress.
I got in my heels Ang stood on the mirror putting the necklace on,the final touch and Amber knocks on my room,"Angela,can I get in?are you done in there""I'm almost done ,get in sweetheart I said turning my head to the door and Wow!!My sister looks amazing and she looks like an angel too."you're beautiful"we said to each other at the same time and chuckled and hugged,we were to walk hand in hand to downstairs so she had came to fetch me.
Oh the final touch , the perfume also,one of the most expensive small bottles of nice scent,I splash on on few times and the scent was of good stuff,it smelled so nice and I swear downstairs it's going to take people's breaths away.
And done!
Amber and I holds hands and walk outside,I pull the door and we fix our minds to be ready for the crowd outside,surely the whole yard is full of pack members .
As we went down people in the launch waiting for us with their cameras to take us pictures,we hear whistles and screams an we walk down and reach the floor where all eyes are glued on us and everyone wants to make their way to the front to can be able to see us and take a. picture,they have never seen people this beautiful and they admiring the beauty to the fullest,I turn and loot at the crowd when I catch eyes with Everly!!
