MiaI was racked with nerves. I was afraid. I didn't think that I had ever been afraid in my life. My heart beat loudly as if it was going to jump out of my heart and I knew that I didn't have to knock on the door when I got to Albert's study to announce my arrival to the elders and whoever was in there.With the superior hearing of the wolves and the way my heart was beating loud enough to compete with the beats from a drum, I was sure that they would have heard me coming, even from miles apart.I was about to get to Albert's study when I turned back and ran outside to the garden. I couldn't do this. I couldn't do it. I couldn't face the elders when I was this much of a mess and didn't even know what they wanted from me. I had to be composed to stand before them and not be torn into shreds by them but I couldn't find it in me at all to compose myself.I ran all the way out to the garden seeking some fresh air for myself. Maybe after some minutes out there, I would have gotten the str
MiaI was right that it was a serious meeting. The elders, as they were called, were seated in Albert's study looking so fierce with their expressions that I wondered if they hated me and almost lost my footing. I didn't though and quickly straightened myself up, my head and my shoulder high with pride as the Luna that I was meant to be.I was glad that I had the boys with me or maybe I would have faltered in my confidence and steps. It was glad to have someone familiar and on your side in the room when you walk into the lion's den because that was what it felt to me.Even Albert didn't act as if he knew me and I was glad that I had run outside and found the boys and had come inside with them. I would have been shaken if I had thought that I had Albert on my side and he was behaving like this. I understood him though. He was trying to act with principles and show that it was a formal meeting and he didn't want to show any preference but that didn't mean that he couldn't have given me
MiaI wondered what that drama was for. I knew that there had to be an underlying tension in the room that I didn't know of. I was going to ask Quinn of it afterwards. All that anger certainly couldn't be because the alpha had mated with his sister and they weren't happy with his choice of mate.The meeting finally started and I was able to calm down a bit. Watching and listening to them bicker did more harm to my nerves than good.I felt like I was on a job interview and had found out that the interviewer was my mum's ex-boyfriend. I felt out of place listening to them bicker and was scared that would affect my chances.It wasn't like they could do anything about it. They couldn't decide to not make me the Luna. Quinn was the alpha and I was mated to him already. They couldn't give him another mate because they didn't like me as a mate bond was irrevocable.I didn't think this interview was necessary for every female intending to be the Luna. I didn't think they would do this if I wa
MiaIt was the day of the second stage of my test. It was the day of my fight with Saidah, the strongest female wolf in the pack. It was the day that I was going to show to the doubting Thomases and get my recognition as the Luna of the pack.I knew that Saidah was the lady that would have been chosen for Quinn to get mated to and make as the Luna of the pack if I wasn't in his life. It was only logic that the strongest male and female wolves of the pack were mated to each other.The boys were scared on my behalf but I wasn't today. I didn't know why but I wasn't. Moreover, I had read and trained all through the two days that I had been given to prepare.Binoo had called me a prepared lady and I wasn't ready to lose his respect on that. I had made sure that I was prepared despite how hard the current hurdle seemed and how everyone seemed to think that I had no chance. I was determined to show that I had everything in me to deserve what I desired.I was determined to make Binoo and Ke
MiaI stretched as I woke up, feeling good. It was the next day after my test and I was feeling on top of the moon. Asides that I had won the fight and brought back an animal in due time, I had spent the whole night afterwards with the boys, making up for lost time.I was sandwiched among them but I didn't mind. I didn't mind being squeezed by them because I knew that they weren't going to squeeze me to death. It felt deliciously good being among them.Quinn smiled at me as soon as he realized that I was awake. "You are awake, sleeping beauty."I chuckled. "Oh yes, I am."Jack snorted as he roused from his sleep and turned to face Quinn. "With all due respect to you as the alpha, brother, but I think you are being rude. How could you call the Luna of the pack a sleeping beauty?""Oh!" Quinn gasped in mock understanding. "Forgive my oversight. I was struck by her beauty that I lost my senses for a while." He bowed to me. "I'm sorry for my rudeness, your highness."I snorted. "Will you
MiaIt was coronation day. It was the day of my ritual as the Luna of the pack and the day that I was going to be initiated as a wolf. It was jubilation time for the pack but most especially for me.I was finally going to be recognized by all the werewolves as one of them and be able to boldly announce to anyone that I belonged to the silver moon pack. It was the day that I had finally been waiting for.I was more than excited that I was about to be accepted officially by the wolves and into the world of the boys. I was finally going to get to belong with them in every sense of the word.The werewolves were in a happy mood, excited to have another reason to gather and celebrate again and I didn't think anything could stop them from feeling the way they feel at that moment, not even Fredo's angry glares as he moved around the party.What was wrong with him? I had heard that he was like that during Quinn's party too. Couldn't he pretend to be happy at all? I doubted if anyone cared abou
MiaMy official calendar as the Luna of the pack had already started. It started in full bloom. What was I going to do except accept them all?Just the way Quinn was meant to go and fight some miscreants as soon as he became the alpha, I was also given something by the elders to do according to the traditions. Thankfully, mine wasn't as dramatic as that of Quinn.I couldn't for the life of me imagine that I was going to have to fight for some barbarians taking some people captive, even if I was told that they were female wolves and weren't as aggressive as the male wolves. I just couldn't do it. I didn't want to fight, even though I knew that I was only going to lead the army and wasn't going to fight alone.I didn't want to fight. I wanted a scenario that we could achieve whatever it was that we wanted without having to fight. That was one of my dreams and plans for the pack as Luna and I knew that Quinn wanted that too.It wasn't compulsory that I fight with Quinn as the Luna. It wa
MiaI groaned as I stood up from the bed. It was another meeting time. It was hell going through the lecture yesterday and listening to all the elders talk. I could barely concentrate after four hours had already passed and they seemed to have yet a lot to talk about.It seemed as if they had all been told that their time was ticking and wanted to pop me full of information before that so I could be the one to pass it on to the next generation.I snorted at that ridiculous notion. As if wolves died easily as that. They didn't. They weren't humans who were going to pop off and die because they were already at a certain age and looked old as well. I snorted. As if humans didn't die before old age as well.Wolves also did die early but that would be in terms of war. If there were no unforeseen circumstances that would lead to the early death of the wolves, they could live for far longer years than a human.I knew that they could die a natural death as well when they had lived long enough
