Chapter 9; The festival

Pain sometimes is a sign that we are alive. Rejection gives chance to better opportunities, so remember to not allow the pain of rejection to shackle you but rather search for the other opportunity it paves for you.

In the study of the pack house sat the alpha, luna, beta male and female, and the four higher up of the pack sat there with serious looks on their faces as though there is an argument going on between them. So you are saying that the child is human and she might be the child in your dream, the one Her.... yes Ami yes it might be her but I am not sure albeit I do know she is a human little girl and she is going to be very special, and we are to accept her with open arms and treat her with love and care and train her to fulfil the destiny she has been given. The four in the room nodded in agreement to what was said, do we know when we are to expect this child? Axel enquired, no alpha, now that you have brought it up I am not sure when that should be but I do know it will be soon, Delphora the beta female answered.

Then we should prepare ourselves to make her feel at home and accepted isn't it, Amiri the luna declared to end the discussion and diffuse the tense atmosphere as she believed having a new addition to their pack is not a bad idea especially if it a little angle, she will accept her with open arms and everyone nodded to her declaration.

Now that that's out of the way, the moon hunt festival will start tomorrow evening, what are the updates Axel inquired about, yes alpha the preparations have begun, and many packs have accepted the invitation to the festival, whiles some packs have sent a request to be allowed to attend the festival. I will sort out the list and I will let you know which ones are allowed in and those coming, the beta female and luna are in charge of decorations and arrangements for guests so I will get the list before midday so the arrangements can begin.

The hunt will begin at midnight, with the recent attack on the pack it will be dangerous for the pack members, especially the pack members who are not warriors or trained to go out hunting alone especially now that we do not know our attackers, so I will like to get an opinion on how to make the hunt save as it is done by only pack members and before the festival begins.

The hunt is usually done alone, only mates chose to hunt together. This festival is only celebrated by the dark moon pack on the day of the crescent moon, this is the time members of the dark moon pack gets to shift and play with nature as they are restricted from doing so on normal days compared to other shifters in the shifter realm, this is because they believe that the humans might see them if that happens they might get scared and attack hence the restriction but on the moon hunt festival everyone is allowed to shift and hunt and that's why it is such an important day for the member of dark moon pack, so I was thinking that there should be a change this time in the way the hunt is done and instead of hunting alone people should hunt together, the pack members can go in groups and with each group, at least two warriors will be present, this time we can make it a game, the group that hunts the biggest can get a reward from the alpha, this way it will look normal and not panic the pack members as they will view the change as an improvement to the normal hunting festival. Yeah, your idea is great Ora, as this doesn't restrict the packs from releasing their beast and running with the wind, so it will be fine for them.

Now let's go start with the deco Ora as we have a lot to do, giving the alpha a peck on the lips the luna dragged her friend who had also given a kiss to her mate as goodbye out of the room.

Since that is settled I will live now Axel he addressed him with his name as the serious matter has ended, still sitting and looking worried he asked, tell me Zeril what's your opinion about the child, is it good or bad news?

To be honest my friend it can be neither or both, huh? What do you mean? I did not ask you to talk in parables Zeril, I mean the goddess always gives us missions and we never know if it is good or bad but it always works out in the end, a typical example is the dark moon pack which we built 300 years ago away from the shifter realm and the royals because the goddess had also ordered that and so far it has come with its benefit and drawbacks and we have survived and still is, as we have become the door to two realms, so that what I mean, nodding in agreement Axel got up from his chair and both friends walked out the study, that's very true, then we have to wait to find that out.

Yes, we have Zeril answered before walking out of the pack house but before he can reach the door, Axel spoke, set an appointment with the royal family, we need to inform them of the new mission we have been given this time and see their input to it.
