Chapter 1

Early in the morning, I awoke and immediately got out of bed. I was happy. incredibly thrilled. My birthday is on Wednesday. I'll meet my wolf tomorrow and I'll be eighteen. I couldn't wait to make my first shift. Although they claim it is painful, I didn't care. It only lasts for a little period before becoming simpler. I'm capable of handling some discomfort.

I just wanted my folks to be here to witness my first shift. Eight years had passed since they passed away, yet things had remained the same.

They were slain in a rogue attack.

Wolves without a pack are known as rogues. They leave their packs after committing different crimes, which causes them to become rogues. Some of them decide to live as rogues and abandon their packs. Though uncommon, that is. We wolves live in packs. We dislike being by ourselves.

A wolf usually decides to go rogue after experiencing some sort of negative event within their pack or after losing their mate and going insane.

The criminals are loners. Other wolves are not employed by them. However, they were collaborating when they came after our pack. It was quite strange. Since that evening, our Alpha has discovered that a lone wolf has collected other wolves to attack several packs. He is referred to as the Rogue King. Since then, the attacks have persisted. They repeatedly assaulted both our pack and other packs.

The son of our Alpha was targeted for death on the night of the attack by rogues.

His first shift and 18th birthday were being honored. He was meant to begin his preparations to succeed the current Alpha and lead the pack.

But that evening, thugs murdered our former Alpha Leon, who was his father. He was immediately made into an Alpha. And he performed superbly. He completed his training early, making our pack one of the most powerful.

Beta for Alpha Leon was my father. He died defending Alpha, Luna, and their son, as did my mother. They had to do that.

My brother Alan became Beta after they passed away. He and our Alpha have been great friends since they were young, and they now co-manage our pack.

A fantastic Beta, and an even greater brother, is my brother. When his parents passed away when he was 17 years old, he was left in charge of our pack and me. He was never grumpy. He accepted those obligations and tried his best. And he did well. He constantly took care of me and made sure I was protected. He continues to.

I recently completed high school, so all I have left to do is train. After the attacks, my brother and our Alpha concluded that everyone in the pack needed to learn how to defend themselves.

All of us in our group are required to complete high school. It resembles a human high school in some ways, but we learn about werewolves and pack history, pack rules, and everything else required to make the pack run well.

A wolf will gain some more knowledge about managing the pack, for instance, if he or she is interested in working for Alpha. If a wolf has an interest in farming, he or she will educate themselves on plants and crops to support our food production.

A wolf that wants to protect the pack will have to put in more training time than the rest of us and master strategiesategies and assault formations. I opted to assist the Alpha in leading our pack. To me, it came naturally. I wanted to support my Beta brother as much as I could.

I gained extensive knowledge of pack regulations and other requirements for properly managing our pack.

The only members of the pack who depart to attend training for their jobs are the Alpha, Beta, and pack hehealersThey join several packs where they receive all the training necessary for their respective roles within the pack. A year or so passes during the training.

Given that our pack was assaulted and that our previous Alpha was dead, our new Alpha and Beta completed their training in a relatively short period

They had to be done more quickly than normal since the pack required them. When my brother went, I was sad to see him go, but I understood why he had gone.

Although we have to train every day, tomorrow is my birthday and my first shift, so I have the day off. It's a unique occasion. The first shift is crucial since it's when you get to know your wolf and your partner.

The mate is significant in wolf culture. Your soulmate is the person our Moon Goddess chooses for you. It represents the union of two souls. You start to prioritize your partner above anything else. They immediately win your heart. You must stay by their side and guard them.

My brother is still looking for his mate. And our Alpha didn't either. Rachel, his mother, still holds the title of Luna and performs Luna's responsibilities until he does.

She struggled after the death of her partner, our former Alpha. She nearly failed to survive. She did nothing, not even eat or sleep. That is what takes place when a partner is lost. Your desire to live disappears. She did, however, bounce back and is now a fantastic Luna. I'm very fond of her. I have a unique relationship with her because she assisted my brother after my parents passed away. To me, she resembles a mother.

She agreed to be there when I started working.

She agreed and embraced me tightly. Being present for a wolf's first shift is a major event. I suppose in our pack. Every pack has a different custom, but in ours, only the wolves you select get to see you start your shift. And being picked was an honor

I decided on Luna Rachel, my friends Shirley and Brian, and my brother. They were all proud of me and happy for me.

I was eager to change. It will be incredible. And perhaps, unlike my brother, I'll find my soul match soon.

I quickly showered, dressed, and cleaned my teeth because I had to leave for training right away. I put on my black Nike sneakers, black tights, training bra, and gra my hoodie. I went downstairs after putting my long brown hair in a ponytail.
