The Alpha and his New Luna

Chapter 2: The Cermony

Alexander was ready for the ceremony to begin, but he knew that there was a lot that went into it. He wanted to help, but that would be disrespectful to the current Alpha, as it was his duty to put the ceremony together. All he could do was prepare himself and be sure he really was ready for this.

He decided to start a training session and went to the training grounds to get a partner for sparring. Since there were wolf packs from all over the territory here, he knew he wouldn't have any trouble finding a sparring partner. When he arrived, he saw 3 different warewolf men standing on the side of the main rink. He decided to go with the largest man, as he preferred a challenge while training.

"Spar?" he said to the man.

"You think you can take me, young wolf?" said the man.

Alexander simply walked to the center of the rink and nodded at Charles to referee. Since wolves tended to go a tad overboard, even in training, it was always good to have a ref.

Charles looked at them both to establish a confirmation of readiness and slashed his hand through the air to begin the match. As a standard, matches lasted 3 sessions. The sessions had no rules except no killing, and it must stop if one of the fighters tapped out. Sessions could also end after 5 minutes if nobody tapped. After the s***h, Alexander rushed to the man and ducked his jab while throwing his own uppercut to the jaw. The man stumbled back 1 foot but didn't fall. He spit out a little blood and rushed Alexander back. He tried to hit Alexander in the gut, but Alexander was too fast. He lived for this thrill. He let his wolf guide him, and his wolf knew not to take over during these sessions. Alexander and his wolf were true partners. They listened to each other, in harmony, at all times. Alexander was able to do movements and dodges so much more efficiently thanks to his wolf seeing, hearing, and sensing things and then communicating that to him so he could use it. Alexander was one of the best fighters in the entire territory. The man shouted at him, trying to rile him. "C'mon pup! Is this all you can do?!" Alexander slid out of his grasp and delivered a massive hammer fist to his opponent's knee. The man fell and tapped out for the first round. one of the best things about werewolves is that they heal exceptionally fast. After a few minutes, that knee was back to normal, and they started round 2. The man knew to be a bit more wary now that he faced Alexander before, but he still thought Alexander was too young to know very much. He jumped and tried to kick Alexander in the back of his knees, but Alexander jumped as well and kicked him in the head. This effectively knocked him out, and Charles checked on him to make sure he was still breathing. Charles named Alexander the winner, and the other two men came over to congratulate him on the win.

"Great job, man! I am Judas, " the 1st man said. He was short and stocky with blonde hair and a crooked front tooth.

"I am so glad someone finally put him on his A**. I'm Reggie, " the 2nd man with red hair and sky blue eyes said.

Alexander shook their hands and introduced himself. They both got wide grins on their faces when they finally figured out who he was and that it was his ceremony they were here to attend today.

"Domonic is going to be so pissed! Knocked out by the new Alpha before he even got his new powers." said Reggie.

Alexander thanked them and went back to the pack house to go shower and change into clean clothes. It was getting close to the ceremony time, so he went ahead and got dressed into his formal clothing. This included his full suit, with cufflinks, white tie, and black boots. He combed his hair into a neat style that his father showed him for special occasions. Alexander took an extra few minutes to look into the mirror and decide to do his very best for his pack. Since he was so young, nobody expected him to take a Luna yet. They knew that the current Elders and advisors of the White Moon Pack would continue to work and supplement the Luna role. Alexander recognized that he was very fortunate in that he was able to have such a grand support system. Even without his mother, he was surrounded by calm, confident, supportive wolves. His wolf paced inside him in anticipation. He let his calm envelope the wolf inside, and he calmed completely. It was finally time to begin the ceremony.

Due to the size of the gathering, the cermony was to be held outside. The woods behind the pack house were filled with seating, lights, music, wolves, and joy. Alexander had stayed away from the ceremony location so that he could really appreciate it when the time came. When he approached the center, there was the Elders, Wolf Alphas, Wolf Counsil and of course, his Father. Even though the ceremony was a huge deal, the actual event was fairly simple. Since this was a voluntary change in power, there was no death involved. His father, Alpha Bashton, drew a knife across his palm, and poured some blood into a goblet. Then, Alexander did the same. After, Alexander drank the contents and a monumental shift of power occurred. All of the extra Alpha magic transferred from Bashton, into Alpha Alexander.

The power transfer was so intense that it made his eyes pour light, his veins lit up with white energy. He could feel the power from the ancestors, his ancestors, filling every inch of his being. This feeling would calm as he acclimated to his new power. But in the beginning, it was exhilarating and a little scary. Alexander gave a huge ROAR of success and everyone cheered! He was the Alpha of the White Moon Pack now. His father and all the wolves of HIS pack cheered and then fell to one knee in a show of submission and faithfulness. He smiled and bowed to them in respect. Alpha Alexander respected each of his pack members for their contribution to the pack. He loved them.They loved him.

Now that the ceremony concluded, it was time to celebrate! Music, dancing, and congratulations were in order. Alpha Alexander was sitting in the middle of it all and each one of the other Alpha wolves from the other packs in the territory came to shake his hand and officially show their alliance. Only one Alpha was not there and it was no surprise. Alpha Scott was not on good terms with anyone. Alpha Scott was currently trying to start a war that nobody wanted. Turns out he wasn't even on the guest list. The gathered Alphas were allies. They may not have signed up to be in the war together yet but they had an alliance of peace at this time. It would keep.
