2022-10-11 22:51:18The celebratory atmosphere that centered around Hades as he grinned away at the crowd couldn't help but make Mikkel feel a bit annoyed. The handsome man looked so carefree and happy, a look he had often worn the past couple of years, as the young boy observed him from a distance. Mikkel did find the man attractive, who wouldn't? Everyone loved him, except Meghaal of course. He found himself being highly attracted to him, but at the same time deep down he subtly resented him.
*Flashback*
The young boy was seated on his favorite well-polished chair as he gazed at the long cold microwaved mac and cheese in front of him. The last twenty-seven days had been a blur. Loneliness grasping at his heart he continued staring at his cold food, appetite far abandoned. His parents being the only interactive company he had, had gotten him used to making it a point to catch them for at least ten minutes before they headed off to pack lands for work. However, he knew that each March would be different. Heck, he expected each March to be this way, however, he could never get used to the feeling of not seeing his parents for almost the entire month. March was the month that made his parents stay back on pack lands. The month that made them come home once a week to 'check up on their son' at odd hours when the said son was bound to be asleep.
And why?
Everyone celebrated Young Alpha Hades birthday all month.
And Aries Solar was to mentor the next Alpha in the art of war as the present Gamma. His father did do his best when it came to educating him in the martial arts, however their differing body types and drive for a fight had his father bond more with the young Alpha than his son when it came to the field of the physical arts. Even his mother who performed duties as the pack ambassador had to spend most of her time educating Hades on diplomacy and upholding pack relations. Marileona had a tendency to often call Mikkel her smart cookie. However, it always made his existence feel ironic. Even though he was the product of the pack's Gamma and Ambassador, he still failed to be smart or skilled in war. But the father and son tried their best, Aries Henderson made sure to sharpen his son's skills by opting to hone skills related to his small stature instead of following standard fighting styles.
The clucking of Aphrodite snapped him out of his lonely thoughts.
The young hen leaped up to his lap and snuggled against his lap. He stroked the hen's head fondness taking over his neutral expression.
"That's right. How could I forget you? They may be busy but at least I have you."
*End of flashback*
The ceremony was still going on as Mikkel stood up from his seat and walked around the tables at the corner, a contented smile plastering his face. Forty percent of the tables used today had been crafted by his very own hands.
He reflected on all the time he spent at his tiny porch that made the perfect makeshift studio. Tearing the wood, ploughing it, polishing it, drilling it, assembling it, polishing and painting it again, and then finally having the final product that stood proudly today at the ceremony. He knew people didn't really pay them much attention considering the lavish blue tablecloths that clothed them, but the feeling that he finally had a way of contributing to his pack couldn't help but leave an easy smile on him.
His handiwork was something and in fact, the only thing he was confident in. Something he knew he was better at than most. Meghaal had been kind enough to spend hours drafting and sketching out the ideas that wandered through his mind. Her artistic skills inked the ideas to his leather-bound book that his parents had gifted him for his 20th birthday. At times he envied his best friend, her smartness and talent were something he often craved. But he knew she had a fair share of problems handed to her as well.
"And now the Elders of Cosmic Moon pack shall bless our future Alpha reciting the ancient chants as dictated by the Lunar Almanac"
Mikkel was snapped out of his thoughts at Alpha Hesiod's proud booming voice.
Great, the Lunar Almanac again.
Mikkel thought bitterly.
"As much as I appreciate history and anything ancient. That book is way outdated and filled with crap. I could personally attest to that since I read most of it."
Megaara walked over to his with a glass of water and joined him by leaning against the wall to stare at the busy stage.
He knew what she said was true, but he also knew this was her attempt at making him feel better about himself.
This simple book alone was responsible for the horrible life he had. The book that made his pack detest him and abandon him.
The book that made him 'abnormal'.
An 'abomination' to the werewolf community.
Looking back toward the stage he finds the elders reciting verses off the said book in ancient wolvish, stretching out their hands at Hades who sat on a throne at the perfect center under the pale circle of light emitted by the vibrant full moon.
While the elders chanted, the six figures sat at the table of the Pan-Supernatural council stood up gracefully, the figure clad in white at the lead, the group proceeded towards the stage with Hades.
The white-clad figure, assumably lady Cleopatra, gently held within her palms a delicate blue handkerchief with a Tattoo template that represented their approval of Hades taking over as the next Alpha of the Cosmic Moon pack. For a pack or coven to be validated under the eyes of the other supernatural, the ratification and approval granted by the Pan supernatural council is essential.
Every coronation, the coronated leader would receive a custom-made tattoo that was designed using their affiliated community's material slogan and the number of positions they held. In this case, Hades' tattoo consisted of the number thirteen as he was the thirteenth Alpha to take over, as well as an ancient sword. The sword was placed between the two numbers with intricately woven vines climbing up each image, connecting them to each other.
Hades looked up at Lady Cleopatra with a proud smirk that showed he was more than ready to take up the role he had been groomed for.

If onlookers were to look upon the crowd that stood swarmed around Hades Henderson, they would have thought the image before them resembled a blue-hued painting of bees surrounding their queen. Everyone's attention was directed at the Alpha.The sight looked magnificent, the engraved dark wooden throne contrasted against the blue-themed stage. The details engraved onto the stone spoke of the many stories that had been rooted from each Alpha that sat on the throne for the last twenty decades.However, as mystical and sentimentally valuable as the throne sounded, it was there for another very important purpose.To bring 'it' out.Coronations aren't just a time to celebrate an Alpha's ascendance to power. It's also a ceremony that puts an Alpha's self control to test.When sitting on that innocent and extravagant-looking throne, the Alpha seated would be inflicted with a force that would gradually loosen his control over his wolf, making the beast the dominant party at hand.Hades Hender

LycaonThe very name of the ancient being sent through the crowd chills that made the hair on their arms still with apprehension.Growing up in a werewolf household, every wolf was bound to hear stories of the great Lycaon. He was known as the world's very first Lycan. The form in between human and their wolf. Every child was disciplined by their parents with the phrase and it was tradition to incorporate stories of the great Lycaon with early childhood development."If you don't listen to me, the great Lycaon will be under your bed tonight"It was a sentence meant for children.A sentence meant to be used as a silly threat, nothing more.However, everyone felt that there was some sort of truth behind the being's words.True, they had no reason to believe it.But the probability of someone claiming to be the great Lycaon in front of so many people was so low, that the werewolves of the crowd knew not to brush the statement off.Every other being present in the crowd who was not part w

The audience began stirring, everyone attempting to be the first to make it to the closest exit that would lead them to the nearest shelter. Something was wrong with the soon-to-be Alpha and an angered Alpha was never something anyone wanted to be around. The stone grey form of Hades Henderson's wolf jumps off the makeshift stage and onto the long narrow table closest to him. The half-eaten dishes flew off the table staining the blue tablecloth with the different sauces that spilled off the toppled dishes. Blue candle wax smeared the half-covered table squishing itself under the strong paws of Hade's wolf. The wolf appeared to be calm. He stood their nose held high, sniffing the air as if he was looking for something, his concentration so well that none of the panicked shouts from the audience disturbed it. Meghaal and Mikkel stood towards the corner of the open garden staring around confused at the dispersing crowd. The two of them being too short to

Eyes shut tight Mikkel awaited the expected attack with each passing heartbeat. Within the span of those few seconds, he couldn't think of any reason Hades' grey wolf would be reprimanded for the oncoming attack. No one had ever challenged Hades Henderson while on his bad side. Not even his own father. The adrenaline in his veins triggers his defense mechanism to kick in. He instinctually closes his eyes and further crunches them as if crunching them would create a protective shield around them if he crunched them tight enough. His heartbeat thumped against his ears, and the adrenaline coursing through his veins allowed him to be hypersensitively aware of every sensory feeling that he was exposed to. But when the awaited force did not reach him as he anticipated, he opened his dark onyx eyes with apprehension. Instead of the angry form of Hades' wolf, stood before him was a human figure cloaked in black and white. It took the young man a few seconds to put a name to the said fi

His temples thumped with thundering tension as he scrunched his brows with furrowed concentration. Drops of perspiration rode down his light tan face attempting to cool out the tense muscles that were already evoking in him the beginning of a migraine. It's not every day that you get a twelve-year-old having severe migraines, but alas, it's not every day you get a twelve-year-old standing in the middle of the Alpha's personal training quarters with three figures of authority demanding of a twelve-year-old what is out of his control.The atmosphere was tense as his temples that a slick butter knife would be able to slice through it. He felt the heating gazes of the three adults as they watched his every twitch, frown, and intake of breath as if the child was purposely withholding it to get a rise off them. He was still a child after all. He was bound to rebel.The young boy's eyes were scrunched with strained concentration, head bent down towards the cold stone floor when he felt someo

Climbing up the grass-clad cliff, the young boy plopped down on the wildly strewn carpet of grass below the soothing shade of the ancient banyan tree. The sun was well above his head, indicating the passage of time.Any minute the field below will be occupied by the buzzing activities of the young werewolves that push against the speed of the wind to beat the other. As predicted, the boy felt the prickling sensations in the hairs at the back of his neck due to the thundering force of the approaching pack made of the four-foot beasts.The rush of adrenaline that was evoked within him despite not being part of the wind-crushing group never did seize to make Mikkel Solar be one with nature. The wind that blew past his face tangled his long dark hair to a rhythmic dance as he breathed in the fresh air of a new day.The feeling made him feel like he was thriving and disheartened at the same time.

"We really need a break." Mikkel looked over his shoulder at the lazy being sat on his black leather couch bundled up in equally dark fluffy blankets. Her dark pair of specks stood firmly on her nose framing her dark brick-red, almost black eyes that were concentrated on the screen before them. Her dark ebony hair had a polish of blond at the bottom sprouting through the gap below her cuddled-up form. Meghaal indeed was the definition of a koala. Both were lazy and on a mission to seek comfort. "Betch, you say that, yet you're the one whose eyes are still glued to Damon's ass" Mikkel complained while heading over to the kitchen counter to pour himself a glass of warm water. The weather was getting chilly again, indicating Boreas' presence and the upcoming winter. "Blame me. As if you aren't after his ass. At least, I only prefer one Salvatore" Meghaal muttered into her blankets. "What are we having for dinner?" Mikkel questioned as he felt his stomach rumble with oncoming hunger

Bright blinding lanterns blinked with excitement, lighting up their path to the Agora that was transformed into a makeshift stage. Shades of majestic blue veils hung down from the tall trees, draping on branches, intertwined with a contrasting shade with sequins and gems that reflected light off the festive lanterns. The Hendersons had clearly spent a fortune on their eldest child's coronation. The blue theme of the event signified to the oncoming guests the pride the members of the Blue Crescent Pack took in their patriotic shade of blue."Don't you think this is a bit dramatic?"Mikkel looked over at his best friend, who looked slightly excited. The two of them were in fact excited to be out there that night. Mikkel rarely stepped out of the house unless it was for the monthly pack runs or to accompany Marileona to the groceries. Meghaal never attended any social events, being busy with university and her part-time job and her personal time for studying had her schedule fully packed
