Luna On The Run!

Girlish giggles emanate from the room of Adlin Rain, daughter of Alpha Gorgio and Luna Ariel of Eclipse Howl.

As Adlin Rain is the eldest of the daughters of the Alphas of Midnight Moon and Eclipse Howl, it was decided that she and Esmee Clarita’s eighteenth birthday party would be held in Eclipse Howl. Esmee Clarita had a small celebration in her pack after she left for Eclipse Howl. Tonight will also be their first shift and possible mating.

Naturally, unmated Alphas have come from far and wide, each dreaming of having one of the daughters of these prominent packs as a mate. The girls are immensely popular in the werewolf community, and their exploits have received much media attention in recent years. Everyone loves them, and their mischief in the clubs is dismissed as youthful impetuosity.

Their clothes and make-up are imitated by many she-wolves and they have even designed their own perfume and clothing line. Their business, in which they all have an equal share, is incredibly profitable.

As for girls, Ariel and Gorgio have three, the youngest being twins who are still minors. Clarita and Zane have only one, Serene and Kensley have three.

Fiona and Jace have only sons, three in all, of which Hester is the eldest. Same goes for Alexis and Eric, who have two sons. The eldest, Alric, still has two months to go before he turns eighteen.

Hester is two months younger than the birthday girls. The Lycan traits of Fiona’s family are more prominent in him, which is why he often resides in the Kingdom, where he trains with King Jasper’s grandchildren. Among these three packs, there are seven girls, two of whom turned eighteen today.

David Gorgio and Albert Zane, the twin pair of the girls, had their first shift in the early hours of the morning but retired to their rooms. The arrangement is that they’ll keep to themselves until it’s time to face the guests and, presumably, sense their mate. Ariel and Clarita have deliberately arranged it this way to keep the excitement going.

“Adlin Rain, have you seen Princess Michaela? She was supposed to be here early to do our make-up after the shift.” Adlin Rain rolled her eyes and continued to get dressed. Her parents are waiting for her in the clearing where her shift will take place. It was sunset and the timing was perfect.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

She gets out of the room, taking Esmee Clarita with her. “Why are you looking for her? You know she never keeps appointments. I wonder what David Gorgio will do with her if she turns out to be his Luna,” the girl replies skeptically.

Esmee Clarita’s face tightens, she knows her chances of being David Gorgio’s fated mate are slim. The boy avoids her like the plague, refusing to see how much she is in love with him. A few times she has tried to tell him of her feelings, but he keeps pushing her away, telling her to wait for the Moon Goddess’ decision.

Adlin Rain noticed her friend’s mood was sinking.

“Do you still have hopes of becoming my sister-in-law? I would love to but I agree with my brother. What’s the point of having a love affair if you’ve got a mate somewhere? It will only cause all kinds of heartache and drama. The destined mate takes precedence over a chosen one. The pups are stronger and the Alpha gets more respect.”

A tear rolls down Esmee Clarita’s cheek. Adlin Rain hugs her sympathetically.

“Wait until you meet your mate. You will immediately forget my brother. The mating bond is strict, just look at our parents. Sometimes they forget they have grown-up cubs. They still kiss so passionately. And I can still hear my Mum screaming all sorts of things when she and my Dad are at it in his office.”

Esmee Clarita forgets her tears and they both begin to laugh heartily. They both know that their parents still can’t get enough of each other, even though they’ve been together for a long time.

“I want David Gorgio. Ever since I first saw him,” she insists.

Adlin Rain sighs deeply, knowing how stubborn her friend can be. “Come on, our parents are waiting. And I am so curious to see my wolf.” The two run to the agreed place and see their parents standing there. After they have undressed and are naked, Gorgio instructs his daughter to handle the shift.

Alpha Zane does so with Esmee Clarita and within minutes the sound of bones restructuring is heard. This is accompanied by cries of pain and distress.

Eventually, the girls succeed and two wolves stand watching the elders.

Adlin Rain is a wolf with woolly silver fur and gray eyes, the genes of the Alpha King family clearly visible. Her name is Cera.

Esmee Clarita’s wolf has beautiful golden brown fur and bright blue eyes. Mira, she introduces herself. After a few moments of admiration, the adults also shift to take the pups for their first run.

After an hour, they all return and it is time to prepare for the ball.

“Thank you, Mum and Dad. That was amazing. I feel so good now that I have my wolf.” Adlin Rain hugged her parents and hurried off to the packhouse with her friend.

When they enter her room, Princess Michaela is still not there. Luckily, her little sisters offer to help her with their make-up, and an hour later, both birthday girls are ready.

“Nervous, Esmee Clarita? My heart is pounding in my throat. I am so excited to meet him tonight”. The girls all laugh, teasing her that she is too eager and has to wait for the right time.

“Your mate is definitely Albert Zane. He is crazy about you. Can’t you see how he looks at you all the time? At school, he has already warned the boys to stay away from you,” Esmee Clarita laughs. “Haven’t you noticed that the boys stare at you in awe but never ask you out?”

Of course, she knows. She has never confronted Albert Zane about it; in fact, she likes it all. Frivolous affairs and fending off suitors could cause unnecessary tension at school and in the pack, something she is absolutely not looking forward to.

“Come on, it’s time to go. I can already hear the first notes of the music”…
