THE NEXT DAY
Avery and Nolan had both woken up for the activities of the day.
It is the day for the naming and introduction of their newly born child to the entire pack of the Silver Moon Pack.
Ryan woke up earlier than supposed and went to the crib, he heard the baby was crying so he quickly ran towards the crib she was placed in.
Ryan came and held its little hand and she calmed down. Due to that little gesture, little Valentina stopped crying.
Nolan and Avery were both surprised to see this, they looked at each other with questioning looks plastered on their faces.
"Good morning Nolan." Miles greeted
"Morning Miles, hope you slept well." Nolan said
"I did, the bed was soothing, um, have you seen Ryan, he wasn't in bed when I woke up." Miles said
"He is with the baby." Nolan said
"Huh!! With the baby, so early? That's a surprise." Miles said because he knows his son isn't a morning type.
"Yeah, the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that when the baby was crying, he just held her hand and that was it, she just stopped crying." Nolan said
"Are you serious?" Miles asked in bewilderment
"I am serious, if you doubt me ask Avery, she witnessed it with me." Nolan said
"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Miles said
"I believe I am." Nolan replied
They laughed and then Miles said
"Come on let's not make assumptions just yet, where is Avery?"
"She has regained her strength, it would seem because, she offered to head to the kitchen to make some meals." Nolan said
"Okay, then I better go look for Madison." Miles said
"There is no need to look for me, I am here." Madison said and turned to Nolan and asked "Hey Nolan, have you seen Avery?"
"In the kitchen." Nolan said
"In the kitchen? Whatever for?" Madison asked surprised
"To help out or oversee I guess." Nolan said
"She just delivered a child and now she is in the kitchen of all places? I better go to her." Madison said and left.
"Avery darling, what on earth are you doing in here?" Madison asked as soon as she stepped into the kitchen
"Helping out with the pies, it's the naming today." Avery said
"Of course I know that, you are covered in flours. Come on you just gave birth to a child, you should be regaining your strength you know." Madison said
"Yeah, but sitting idle and letting people do things for me isn't my thing, you know that." Avery said
"Hm... Since you are being this adamant there is no talking you out of this, is there?" Madison said knowing her friend
"That seems to be the case." Avery said calmly and smiling
"You are so stubborn, Avery. Fine will help you out with this." Madison said rolling up the sleeves of her night pyjamas
"You are our guest Madison, you shouldn't be here." Avery said
"Say that again, and I will pull you out of the kitchen myself." Madison said sternly
"Fine, I can't disagree with you." Avery said
They both chuckled and helped the maids out in making a huge breakfast and of course dishes for the naming.
★★★
By 11:00 A.M everyone gathered in the gardens at the Villa where chairs and tables were set.
Everyone were chattering away happily, it is of course a joyous day.
The Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack is happy, so his pack must be.
Nolan stood proud on the podium, situated at the middle of the town with his beloved wife beside him, holding an infant in her arms.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the little baby with admiration.
"Everyone, today is the introduction of a new born child, Alpha Nolan and Luna Avery's. We are here today to celebrate a new life and an addition to the Silver Moon Pack, beloved werewolves... I present to you a special and wonderful gift from the moon goddess, a baby with Alpha blood twice, my daughter and the future of the entire pack... I present to you Valentina Hudson, your future Alpha." Nolan said as he raised his daughter up for the crowd and they all said happily and in unison
"Yay!!!"
Someone in the crowd then chanted
"All hail the moon goddess."
"Hail the moon goddess, Hail the moon goddess, Hail the moon goddess..." Everyone present cheered.
A round of applause, joy, happiness filled the entire Pack.
"My beloved Pack, it is time to eat and enjoy to your fill. It is time to celebrate this auspicious day with your Alpha... Silver Moon Pack, Enjoy!" Nolan said
"Yay!!!" They chanted as Alpha Nolan accompanied by his beautiful wife walked away from the podium.
The cookies, pies and dishes, everything prepared earlier with Avery and Madison's help were shared to the entire pack, they ate and partied all day.
★★★
"Ryan come over here, come take some cookies." Madison said calling her son
"Mum I am full now, I want to stay with baby Valentina." Ryan said
"Hm, are you sure you don't want these delicious cookies?" Avery said holding a well shaped huge cookie.
Seeing how tasty it looks Ryan said
"Just one bite aunt."
"*giggles* here you go my sweet sweet boy." Avery said
After handing over the cookie to Ryan who was hell bent on not leaving baby Valentina's side.
Avery then signalled Madison and they both went to a secluded corner and began discussing.
"Don't you think its a bit weird for Ryan to want to be by the baby's side all day long?" Avery asked
"Maybe its just admiration, though he is a little bit clingy with Valentina than when his sister was born. But I think he just likes babies." Madison said
"Its because you didn't see what Nolan and I saw this morning, if you did you might change your thoughts." Avery said
"What was it? Come on tell me, did something extraordinary happen?" Madison said
"Ryan woke up very early today and sat down with the baby." Avery said
"Really?" Madison asked
"That's not even the iceberg." Avery said
"Come on tell me, you know I love gists..." Madison said and they both giggled
"Ryan soothed the little baby who was crying by just holding her little hand." Avery said
"Are you serious?" Madison asked
"Yeah I am, ask Nolan if you think otherwise... It was surprising yet amusing." Avery said
"The thing is, Ryan has this special gift. I think he'll manifest Alpha tendencies at a young age." Madison said
"Wow!!!" Avery said
"I wish they would be mated, I have always wanted us to be in-laws." Madison said
"That would be remarkable, and the best gift the moon goddess can give either of us." Avery said
"What are you both discussing about, leaving the kids alone together?" Nolan asked as he came looking for the women
"Just telling her about what we saw this morning." Avery said to her husband
"I already told Miles about it." Nolan said
"And that man didn't tell me about it?" Madison asked
"Oops, my bad, Miles is in a whole lot of trouble then." Nolan said
"Believe me when I say tons of it." Madison said
"Let's go check on the kids." Avery said
"Sure." Madison said and they all went back into the room
Just then Miles walked
"Hey hon..." he said pecking Madison on her cheek, she allowed him only because her friends were watching... deep down she was boiling
"We need to talk dear." She whispered lovingly into his ears
"Okay" Miles said
They both left for their room, leaving Nolan and Avery as well as young Ryan in the room.
"Did something happen dear?" Miles asked
"Actually it did, did you know Ryan woke up early to stay with Valentina?" Madison asked
"Oh that, um Nolan already told me about it dear." Miles answered truthfully
"Oh I see, and you didn't even bother to tell me?" Madison said
"Sweetheart, its just a little thing, I thought it was no big deal." Miles said
"No big deal, so if your son is getting married it's no big deal right?" Madison said getting upset
"Maddy dear, come on why would you say that?" Miles asked
"I am sleeping in Ryan's room tonight. Or better yet Ryan and I would be having the room to ourselves, I would rather stay with my son who is true to his feelings and guts, than stay with my husband who is lying to me and keeping things from me, when I get back please evacuate the room." Madison said
"Honey, I am so sorry." Miles said apologizing to his wife but it fell on deaf ears
"Save your apologies... today, you are sleeping in Ryan's room tonight." Madison said and left the room leaving Miles worried.
"So guys, come on tell me how is Crescent Wolf Pack?" Nolan asked his friends as soon as they came out from their room.
"Apparently it is okay, everyone is falling in line with their Alpha's rules and all. So far, nothing has gone wrong, thanks to the moon goddess." Miles said
"That's nice, you are doing a great job." Nolan said commending his friend
"Yeah too bad the Alpha, lies to his Luna like there is no tomorrow." Madison said
"Maddy, come on not again." Miles said
"Okay calm down guys, today is all about Valentina not you two, so quit fighting like kids will you?" Avery said
"I guess you are right, sorry. But he still has to be punished for withholding stuff from me." Madison said still adamant on not letting go of the issue.
"I am certain..." Miles said
They all laughed and everyone had fun that day.
The next morning after breakfast, Madison and Miles bid their friends bye.
"Are you sure you can't spend one more day?" Avery asked
"You know how it is, the pack can't do without its Alpha and we've been away from them for too long." Miles said
"Yeah, also Sophie needs her mother, she is too tiny to be left alone." Madison said
"I wonder why you didn't bring her here.." Nolan said
"She will overshadow Valentina's cries since she is a cry baby, and it's just like you said it's all about Valentina and I wouldn't want it any other way." Madison said
"Fine, I will miss you so much Maddy." Avery said hugging her best friend
"Me too my beloved, don't worry we'll come visiting as much as we can." Madison said
"I know, can't wait to see you again." Avery said
"Likewise, let's be on our way now." Madison said
Ryan as well as his parents went back to the Crescent Wolf Pack, where they belong.
Years after years passed and little Valentina grew up, her beauty kept radiating.
★★★
TEN YEARS LATER
BLACK WOLF PACK
Nathan who was in the midst of his elders said
"It is time for us to extend our prospect with the rest of the world"
"Not this again, all talk and no show." Elder Derrek said
"Nathan this is complete madness for the past ten years you had promised that you will extend a warm hand to the Walker's and for the past ten years the treaty hasn't been signed. May I ask what you have been doing for that long?" Another said
"Patience my dear elders, as we are all gathered here today... I am proud to inform you that I've already send word to the Walker's informing them about the peace treaty." Nathan said
"Then enlighten me on this sharing our prospect I don't understand one bit of it." one of the elders asked with a confused face.
"Well about sharing our prospect with the rest of the packs we'll discuss that on another day, but just so you all know, the Walker's would be sending word soon... and as soon as I get it, we'll assemble here to discuss our next plans."
"I just wasted my time coming here." Elder Ramos said
"Okay but make sure you don't keep us waiting for long." Elder Derrek said and left in disappointment
'I really need the Walker's influence so as to stay high and respected in my pack. If they could give me their support, I will claim the next formidable pack that is proving to be a pain to me.' Nathan thought as he paces in his office.
Just then a young fifteen year old boy came through the door way and said,
"Father why are you pacing about?"
"Alexander what are you doing in my study uninvited?" Alpha Nathaniel yelled at his son
"I saw and heard the elders talking on their way out of your office." Alexander said
"Did you by chance hear them?" Nathaniel asked
"Yes father they seem to be really pissed at you." Alex said
"Come in, come tell me what you heard them say." Nathaniel said beckoning on him to come in.
"The head elder said, you are an embarrassment in the history of all Alphas." Alexander said
"What?" Nathaniel yelled
"That's not all, they said you are too slow with your decisions, and that you have been planning a peace treaty for years now and not a single move made yet." Alexander continued
"Is that so?" Nathaniel asked just to be certain
"Yes father..." Alexander said innocently
"Okay then assemble the family right now for an emergency meeting." Nathaniel said
"Yes Father." Alex said and left to do his father's bidding.
"Nathan Hunter, what is it that you have to summon the entire family so early in the morning?" Stella asked
"We need to move fast, the elders are closing in on me and they are planning on revolting." Nathaniel said
"Why? You are the best Alpha they've had in years." Stella said mortified
"I know that except for the fact that I am yet to sign a peace treaty for ten whole years now." Nathan said disappointed
"Okay? With the Walker's I suppose." Stella said
"Exactly..." Nathaniel said
"Okay so, what would you have us do?" Stella asked her husband
"It would be best to make friends with them." Nathaniel said
"Father, I and Emily, since we both attend the same school with them and even their cousin, Theodore is in our class so we will do our best to fit in." Alex said trying to gain his father's approval
"I hate that guy, he looks at me with a weird look." Emily said
"He has a crush on you Emily." Alex said
"I don't like him one bit, there is someone else I really really like." Emily said smiling sheepishly
"Oh you mean the arrogant one Ryan? I despise him so much, he is too full of himself like he owns everything... I actually prefer Theodore to him, Theodore can be easily swayed, one of this days I will invite him over so as to establish friendship with him." Alex said
"Very good, do whatever it takes to create bonds with the Walker's. Your mother and I will make way to them after the full moon which is coming up in two days time, Emily and Alex you are in charge of watching over the pack until our return." Nathan said
"What about your beta father?" Emily asked
"He is not to be trusted and if my useless son of a child is half as dubious and well prepared as the young Walker, you would have been my beta now. And not a gamma. Get yourself together son, you are a Hunter don't disgrace me." Nathan said outrightly
"Yes father." Alex replied sadly
★★★
"I need to sign a peace treaty with the Black Wolf Pack, Aaron." Miles said to his beta
"Why? We don't need them in our lives, we are far better, stronger and even more industrious than they are." Aaron his beta said
"We aren't yet strong enough, Aaron... we need to build allies and you know that."
"And you already have allies, the Crystal Pack our dear Lunas pack is already in alliance with you what other alliance do you need?" Aaron asked
"I know out of the eight territories, we have just two alliances, my best friend Nolan's and Madison's home town, and if the black wolf pack can be added, we'll have three including us to make it four out of the eight territories... It's a win-win situation beta." Miles said
"Okay Alpha, your wish is my command." Aaron said giving up
Just then someone came and bowed, it was Alpha Miles' Omega.
"Greetings, Alpha." He said
"Report..." Alpha Miles said
"I just received words from Alpha Nathaniel, it's a request from the Hunter's." The omega said again
"What do they want?" Miles asked
"The Alpha and Luna are seeking for approval to come over for the signing of the peace treaty themselves." The omega said
"Tell them, it is a deal." Miles said
"Yes Alpha." He said and left
After dinner, Ryan and Sophie who were teasing each other, were both interrupted by their father.
"Dad, what do you want?" Ryan asked
"We need to discuss, you and I." Miles said
"Okay then, I am all ears..." Ryan said
"Sophie go to your room, its already late my little pumpkin." Miles said to his lovely daughter
"Okay dad, good night." Sophie said and after receiving a peck from her father, went to her room.
"Ryan, you are the next Alpha of the pack you need to get involved in the activities." Miles said
"Dad, I am already involved, Leo and I have been training everyday of our lives so I am not just sitting idle doing nothing." Ryan said authoritatively
Madison walked in at this time and said
"Calm down boy, he is your father."
"Yes mum." Ryan said humbly
"I am going to sign a peace treaty with the Black Wolf Pack in two days time." Miles said
"What?" Madison and Ryan both yelled out loud at the same time
"Miles, why would you want to sign a peace treaty with the enemy pack?" Madison asked
"Everyone hates them, dad. Of all Packs why them? Even Alpha Cyrus's pack despises them." Ryan said in anger
"How did you know about that son?" Miles asked
"Leo told me about his father's hatred for the Black Wolf Pack." Ryan said
"There have been a prophecy that the entire eight territories will be engulfed in a war and it can only be averted if all eight territories seek peace, that's why I am trying to stretch my hands to that of the enemy." Miles said
"Miles honey, I am very aware of that prophecy. But that doesn't mean signing a peace treaty for some years with the most hated pack will avert it. It will only cause uprisings from the other powerful packs and they might even cut ties with us." Madison said
"So what do you want us to do? Welcome them with open arms dad?" Ryan asked with disgust
"Yeah, please if you can, just do that." Miles said
"If that's all I am going to my room, it's already late... goodnight dad, goodnight mum." Ryan said and walked away
"You are the Beta in the making you need to be there in person." Miles said calling after him
"Whatever dad..." Ryan said
"Goodnight my baby boy." Madison said as Ryan walked away from their presence
"Miles are you sure this is a good idea? I mean of all the packs, why them?" Madison asked still wondering what had gotten into her husband.
"Trust me, it will be the best move, I think and besides it will make us more powerful than the rest of the four packs." Miles said
"Okay honey, whatever you say... Let's go to bed, it has been a stressful day for me." Madison said and Miles followed her to their room so they could rest for the night.
★★★
The Alpha and Luna of the Black Wolf Pack set out for the signing of the peace treaty with the Crescent Wolf Pack.
After close to four hours of driving, they finally got to the gate.
'I have waited for a long time to be able to gain passage into this beautiful territory, it has the potential of being the strongest, most successful and thriving pack. That is why, I need this peace treaty, what is theirs will be mine. As simple as that, no stress.' Nathan thought while a smirk appeared on his face.
"You seem to be happy you are doing this Alpha Nathaniel..." Stella his wife said
"Believe me when I say I am most delighted. Signing a peace treaty will mean having unlimited access to their goods, and since you seem to want to look younger in every way, their styles of fashion differs greatly from ours you see. So you could get access to their fashion brands." Nathan said to his wife
"Good, you seem to think fast, good thinking." Stella said
Just then the big and impenetrable gate began opening
"Stella be on your best behavior when we get there, we don't want to tip off our one chance at making them our followers and allies." Nathaniel said
"Believe me, for the dresses... I will be." Stella said
They got inside the gate and they were taken inside the Villa to a room so as to wait for their hosts.
"Please seat while I go get them." The maid said and left
After about thirty minutes no one came out
'What's taking them a long time to come in here?' Nathan thought
"They are taking us for granted Nathan why ask that in your thoughts rather than say it out loud?" Stella said
"Quiet down will you? the wall has ears... Behave remember?" Nathaniel said cautioning his wife
"Whatever." Stella said
Twenty minutes later, Miles and his beloved wife walked in graciously and hand in hand.
"So sorry for the delay Alpha Nathan, I welcome you to Crescent Wolf Pack." Miles said
"Thanks for welcoming us here with open arms, we are honoured to be here."
"It is my pleasure come on have a seat." Miles said
They all sat down in silence each looking at one another with different thoughts
'Her outfit looks beautiful on her, can't wait to start shopping here.' Stella thought as she looks longingly at Madison
'He looks so confident, let's see if you won't bow to me one day.' Nathaniel thought
'So old fashioned, geez they look too barbaric for my liking.' Madison thought as she stares at the two guests in front of her.
'Where could Ryan be for goddess sakes?' Miles thought
"Alpha Miles, care to get on with the signing agreement?" Nathaniel said jolting everyone back from their thoughts
"Yeah about that, my beta in the making needs to be present to witness it." Miles said
"Okay where is he?" Nathaniel asked
"He'll join us soon enough, we just need to be patient." Miles said
Just then the door opened and Ryan walked in and sat down without saying a word
"Alpha Miles why is your son here?" Nathan asked
"He is my beta in the making." Miles replied
"Oh Hi Ryan." Alpha Nathaniel greeted
"Hi Alpha Nathan" Ryan replied as humbly as he could
"Nice to meet you in person, but why aren't you in school?" Nathaniel asked
"I don't answer to you..." Ryan replied and then turned to his father and said "Dad, let's get this treaty going. Let's not delay it longer than it is supposed to be."
'What a rude little brat... If only my son is this way then I won't have to worry for my pack's future.' Nathan thought
"Indeed son, I agree." Miles replied his son and continued
"State your case Alpha Hunter, what is it you have to say?"
"Okay Alpha Walker, its just like we discussed a while back over the phone, this peace treaty will help both packs expand and claim territories." Nathan said
"I know that very well, but what's the catch?" Miles asked because he feels this isn't just a peace treaty there must be another reason why they would approach him for something like this.
"There is no catch, it is to promote peace only between the two packs and with time others will follow." Nathan said trying his best to convince Miles
"Let me see the documents." Miles said
Nathaniel immediately handed over the document of the peace treaty.
"Nathaniel, from what this place is saying this peace treaty will only last as long as you and I both are Alphas am I correct?" Miles asked after reading through
"Very correct, and when our sons take over they can as well renew it and their sons after them." Nathan said
"Nice, I will sign it hand over the pen." Miles said
"It needs a blood oath, yours and mine to seal it." Nathaniel said
"Okay then, if that's what it takes." Miles said
After contemplating, Miles scratched his thumb and blood gushed out.
He pinned his thumb on the document, Nathan did same and it became valid.
"Okay that's settled, the peace treaty is signed in our bloods. Welcome to a life of peace between us, Alpha Miles Walker..." Nathaniel said
"Yeah it is, settled. Congratulations to us." Miles said
They both shook hands and the Hunter's were about to leave when Madison said
"Luna Stella Hunter?"
"Yes Luna Madison Walker." Stella said as politely as she could
"The Lunas of the eight territories all have a meeting once each year, and this year's is postponed till next year due to some issues." Madison said
"Oh okay nice, thank you for the information." Stella said
"You are invited, if you want us to be at peace with each other, your appearance will be welcomed." Madison said
"I wouldn't miss it, thanks." Stella said
Immediately Ryan stood up from their midst and headed to the school for young werewolves.
Nathan and his wife left to their pack, because Miles and his Luna didn't feel like letting them stay, so they left the Villa and headed home to their territory...
Ryan got to school and as soon as he was spotted a voice asked
"Where in all of the eight territories were you?"
"Duties back at home, sorry buddy." Ryan said
"What duties could you possibly have to miss Elder Raynor's class of test of controlling?" The voice asked again
"You won't believe it even if I told you about it." Ryan said
"Try me." He replied adamantly
"...*sighs* Today, dad had to sign a peace treaty with the Black Wolf Pack." Ryan said sadly
"What?" He yelled out loud
"Shh, come on Leo keep your voice down okay, someone might hear it." Ryan said covering his friend's mouth but it was already too late.
"Actually I already did." Another voice said
"Antonio what on earth are you doing snooping around?" Ryan asked
"It's not like I can just enter into the basement and stay hidden when my twin brother and I are intertwined." Antonio, Leo's twin said
"What do you want?" Ryan asked
"Nothing except of course showing just how powerful I have become." Antonio said proudly
"Jeez no one is more stronger than me in this entire institute and you know it." Ryan said
"You wish, anyways I am not here to pick a fight. Elder Raynor wants you in his office right now." Antonio said
"Of course, I knew this was bound to happen, he must be mad that his favourite student missed his class." Leo said
"Right, Leo please keep this to yourself okay buddy." Ryan said
"I hope I can." Leo said
"You have to promise me." Ryan said knowing fully well his friend can be a blabbermouth if he chooses to be.
"*sighs* fine, I promise." Leo said and Ryan quickly dashed off towards Elder Raynor's office.
Immediately he got inside, Elder Raynor a strange looking man who has different faces, sometimes looks younger and vibrant other times older and frail... was meditating when he said
"Shut the door behind you, boy."
'Oh goddess help me.' Ryan thought
"Sit..." Elder Raynor said
Hearing this order, Ryan knows better than to sit on a chair, he immediately sat down across him legs crossed.
After what seemed like hours, Elder Raynor asked simply
"Where were you?"
"I was at home, I had to do something of great importance for the pack." Ryan answered truthfully
"Hm and whatever it is you were doing was more important than my classes?" Elder Raynor asked again
"No it wasn't, its just that my duties as a Beta in the making was needed today, that's why I couldn't miss it." Ryan said awaiting the worst kind of punishment, everyone says Elder Raynor treats him differently because he was his favourite, but he treats him differently because he wants him to be the best he can be.
"Impressive, duties first before school... Well, whatever you say. For missing my class you are going to practice everything I taught today in your absence until you get it right, you are not leaving do you understand?" Elder Raynor said vehemently.
"Yes Master Raynor." Ryan said.
★★★
"Emily hi again..." Theodore said
"Okay, hi." Emily said and was about to go when Theodore stood in front of her and said
"Emily, I want you to be friends with me."
"Friends with you? Why should I be a friend to you of all people?" Emily asked looking at Theodore with contempt.
"Because we are in the same class and I like you, it's common knowledge you see." Theodore said
"Get yourself together, I don't want to be friends with you, I want to be friends with Ryan instead." Emily stated
"Ryan has his own friends and you can only get close to him if you get close to me." Theodore said smiling
"You are not powerful enough like him, that is why you are in class 10 and not class 18... disgraceful." Emily said
"I choose not to showcase my power so as to be in the same class as you, dear banshee." Theodore said truthfully.
He was powerful, but he was suppressing his powers purposely just so he could be in the same space as the one he has a crush on, Emily Hunter of the Black Wolf Pack.
"They are yet to tell us what we are, how did you know?" Emily asked somewhat surprised
"One of my talents... see you around Emily." Theodore said
'If not for dad's plan I won't have to deal with this thing.' Emily thought and left angrily.
Theodore went back to class and Alex stopped him on the way
"Hi Theodore Walker..." Alexander greeted waving and smiling mischievously
"What do you want from me Hunter?" Theodore asked
"Nothing, just that I see the way you look at my sister." Alexander said
"I don't know what you are talking about." Theodore said and wanted to walk away when Alexander asked loudly
"You like her don't you?"
"..." Theodore didn't reply
"I will take your silence to mean you do, well I can talk to her since she is my twin so that you can both hang out together." Alex said
"What do you want in return?" Theodore asked because he knows the Hunter's always have an agenda at least that's what he feels.
"Simple be my friend, I don't have much friends around anyway." Alexander said
"Fine then, if its just friendship, then let's be friends." Theodore said
"Cool, come by our house some day okay?" Alexander said
"Okay then, we will see about that." Theodore said and left for class.
★★★
Ring ring...
Madison's Phone was vibrating on the little desk in her room, after some seconds she walked towards it and answered.
"Hello, Arabelle Cyrus of the Cyprus Pack, how is your Pack and family doing my dear?" Madison asked as soon as the call connected
"Oh its more than fine dear Madison and thanks to the moon goddess we are all okay..." Arabelle said happily
"That's good to know." Madison replied
"How is home?" Arabelle asked
"Fine as well dear, we are okay." Madison replied
"The moon goddess be praised... Wanted to say, the meeting of the Lunas will be held latest tomorrow evening." Arabelle said
"Oh that's nice... wonderful, can't wait to see you and the other Lunas." Madison said
"Same here... One more thing, it's a question though." Arabelle said
"Sure what is it?" Madison asked
"Well, it came to my notice that you signed a peace treaty with our enemy pack, is that true?." Arabelle said
'Great, everyone knows?' Madison thought and then said
"Just a means of formality nothing more."
"I thought so, just wanted to confirm if it's true or not." Arabelle said
"It is, so how did you find out about this?" Madison asked
"My son Antonio told me about it, anyways, why don't you invite the Luna of the Black Wolf Pack? No one knows what she looks like... Is she even pretty?" Arabelle said
"Oh Arabelle, she is nothing to write home about, her fashion sense, so last season." Madison said
"Haha... let's talk about the meeting, since I will be calling the remaining four Lunas you should be in charge of bringing that loosed brat and our beloved Luna, Avery to the meeting okay?" Arabelle said
"Sure, I'll make sure she doesn't miss it." Madison said
"Good take care, see you tomorrow at the regular meeting place." Arabelle said happily
The call got disconnected and Madison couldn't help but smile.
"What makes you smile so much sweetheart?" Miles asked as he walks out of the bathroom
"Oh the yearly meeting for the Lunas of the eight territories is happening tomorrow night." Madison said
"Oh that's great, it will help us find out what's in their hearts and how everyone is thinking." Miles said
"Exactly and also make good friends..." Madison said
"Nice..." Miles said
"I better go to the store to prepare some gifts for them all you know how it is honey." Madison said carrying her bag
"Yeah you ladies, do your thing." Miles said
"Okay see you later honey." Madison said
"Love you." Miles said and kissed his wife on her lips and the latter left for shopping.
★★★
The next day Madison called on Stella through her cell phone and after two rings it finally got connected.
"Oh hi Madison, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Stella asked over the phone
"The meeting, the one the Lunas of the eight territories will be attending that I told you about the other day, well it will be happening tonight." Madison said going straight to the point
"Tonight? Thought you said it would happen sometime next year that the this year's is cancelled?" Stella asked getting frustrated
"It came to my notice just yesterday that its happening today and tonight so I figured since you said you would like to come why not tell you about it. You are after all a Luna or are you not?" Madison said
"Yeah, uh sure... so where is this place?" Stella asked
"The mountain of the moon goddess, I am sure you know how to find it or would you want someone to come pick you up?" Madison said
"No, I'll find my way there, thanks." Stella said
"But of course." Madison said and hung up
Stella who was beyond mortified was pacing unnecessarily
"Will you settle down?" Nathan said
"Nathaniel, the meeting of the Lunas, is coming up tonight and I don't know what to put on. Madison just called me, apparently she found out yesterday and forgot to tell me about it, just tell me how do I fit in?" Stella said
"You are the most beautiful werewolf there is to find in all of the territories." Nathaniel said trying to soothe his mate
"I know that's why you found me, but my dear I am having a fashion crisis. What if they don't view me as beautiful or high classed?" Stella said worriedly
"If you are having a fashion crisis then just order from the Crescent Wolf Pack and it will be delivered to you in a jiffy. They have the best services when it comes to delivery." Nathan said
"You are one smart Alpha, what would I do without your interference?" Stella asked
"You are my Luna of course I will help and come to your aid whenever you call out for me. You just howl my name and I'll be there." Nathan said
"I love you Nathaniel." Stella said
"I love you too honey, come on you better start ordering." Nathan said as he walked out of their room
Stella brought out her phone and ordered a beautiful dress to wear, one that when she walks into the room, glittering will be her middle name or so she thought.

Evening finally came and Stella sets out for the scheduled meeting place.
In the mount of the moon goddess, in the middle of the entire territories there is a perfect huge building and temple for everyone to come worship, but for some reasons only the women are allowed in there.
So the Lunas all came into the temple one after the other, some came in two's. A perfect example of such was Avery Hudson and her best friend Madison Walker they are one of most reputable Lunas in the entire land. Their reputation precedes them both.
They sat down on their usual seats one by one at different times, the Lunas came in.
Finally the seats that were eight, seven of them has been filled save one... Stella Hunter's.
"Dear Luna Madison did you forget to invite your new found partner's wife?" Arabelle asked
"Believe me when I say I did invite her and told her everything and that we love being on time and all." Madison replied
"Then why is she taking time to get here, does she think she is worth waiting for?" Avery Hudson asked
"Haha..." They all laughed out loud
"She must be delusional, I hate when someone keeps me waiting for long. If I can make it on time who the hell is she to keep me waiting?" Lilith said getting upset
"Keep calm your Majesty." Avery said to soothe her down and she did.
Just then Stella walked in without saying a word of greeting to anyone, she walked straight to the empty seat and sat down amicably.
There were sneers and stares from the others towards her, she was of course the Luna of the Black Wolf Pack.
