I woke up super early today since I need to make sure everything is ready prior to my departure tomorrow. Since Riley will be arranging the security protocol, he will need to brief his pack members and me on the procedure if any unwanted incidents were to happened.

I hate it that Riley decide to held meetings early in the morning. There are 24 hours in 1 day and he have to pick 8AM for a meeting.

Once I woke up, I decide to take a shower and head straight to our pantry to grab some snacks. Since it's 6 and breakfast will be served at 7 and I don't want to be late for meeting Riley.

He may be a dork but once I accidentally came late for his meeting, afterwards he decide to lecture me till my ears bleed and he punish me by making me forgo a hellish training.

While finishing my snacks, I decide to take a stroll within our courtyard. I know today is going to be a stressful day, and I just want to enjoy a relaxing time with myself a little bit longer before things started to become hectic.

I head straight to our meeting room and saw that Riley and his pack members that will be my guard during our trips have all arrived. They stand up and bow to me before I ask them to sit and the meeting start.

Time skip

The meeting took longer than expected and before I know it, it's time for lunch. They are waiting for me to took a leave first before they all head to the door. Once I reach our dining room I slump myself on the table.

"I'm hungry. Need food..." I feel my body gradually relaxing while putting most of my upper body weight on the dining table.

"A lady should sit straight and never slump her body at the table like some sloth", suddenly a voice replied to my weak whimper for food.

"Mom.. you nearly gave me a heart attack". That surprised me and I immediately sit straight while my eyes open wide from the sudden surprise.

Queen Meredith Gailent de Albemont, Queen of the Werewolf in America and my mother. She have long but wavy red hair just like me. Lucky for me, I gain her similar feature.

One by one, each of my family members including Riley and Carol start to join in. We start our long-awaited lunch. Somehow today's food taste much better than the usual.

"I need to start packing now, see you all soon". As I started to stand from my chair I feel a little hand grab my arm.

"I want to help sis!!!" Lionel finish his food at a faster pace than usual.

"You're going for a long time don't you?" Giving me those sad puppy eyes.

"Don't worry I'm coming back home soon, I'm going to bring you some gifts once I'm back."

"Pinky swear?"

"Pinky swear", I reply while giving me my little finger.

Afterwards, I decide to pack my clothes and all other necessities I might need during our travels. Feeling satisfied with myself for finishing another task, I wipe my sweaty forehead and decide to walkout from my room.

"Thanks Lionel for helping me to pack my stuff."

"Stay right here sis." Suddenly Lionel ran out from my room. When he came back he held his favourite lion figures and gave it to me.

"You can have it with you in case you get lonely."

"Aww, thank you big guy." I took his lion figures and put it in between my clothes.

Everything happened so fast and it's dinnertime. I quickly finish my dinner so I could relax and have some alone time.

I just really need a break from everything, especially with Sierra keep yapping the whole day about how happy she is and can't wait to "meet her subjects". Note how I mention this with a sarcastic voice.

"Hey Edith!" A figure from a far approaching me slowly as I open my eyes.

"Hi Carol"

"How's everything going?"

"All preparation is done, now I'm just trying to relax for a while before finally heading to sleep"

"Excited for tomorrow?"

"You wish", I rolled my eyes at her.

We continue our conversation like usual, talking and gossiping all of the things that happened in our kingdom for the past few months.

Suddenly she ask me "What are you going to do if you find your mate?"

That took me by surprise as I never concern my thought about it. My whole life have been devoted to becoming Queen and the thought of having a mate never crossed my mind.

"What about it?", I replied.

"Well since you're going to be a Queen one day, what will happened if you have an Alpha for a mate? Who will lead and what will happened to his pack? Will you still be Queen and Luna of his pack at the same time? Or will he", Carol keep rumbling until I cut her short.

"There's no use thinking about it, let's stop thinking about complicated things and just focus on the present."

"Aw my poor little sister must be feeling lonely without her mate around." She replied with a teasing voice as she sling her arms around my neck and pull me close towards her face.

"Nooooo let go of me!!! If you keep hugging me all that cheesiness of yours will soon spread to me."

She let me go while laughing at me and we continue our conversation for a couple of hours until I decide to call it a night.

I head straight to my room and prepare for bed when suddenly Sierra start to howl for my attention.

"You want to go for a run girl?"

She replied with sticking her tongue out and jumping and running around.

"I guess that's a yes."

I quickly run from my room to our castle's backyard. When I open the door, I was hit with a smell of nature. Grass, droplets of rain, even wind have its own scent.

I stood still and close my eyes while taking a deep breath, enjoying what both moon goddess and mother nature have given to me. The moon is shining bright illuminating our forest.

"Hurry up and shift." Scream Sierra in my head.

"Can't you give me a damn minute."

"Don't blame me if I start to claw on your conscience"

"Stop that! You know that it will gave me headache."

"Just hurry up and shift." Sending a huff of annoyance towards me.

I head to a nearby bush and quickly stripped myself so I won't rip my clothes when I shift. There are lots of advantages i becoming a werewolf but having to take of and put on your clothes after shifting isn't one.

In a blink of an eye I shift. Instead of arms, there were paws, and I have furs covering my whole body. I can see my snout at the end of my visions.

My hearing is enhanced and so do my visions. I feel more powerful as I took a step with my front paw.

A felling of full and pride overwhelms me as we took our second step. As if we are reclaiming what is soon to be our land and stating our presence.

"Let me take over."

"Sure thing Sierra, go ahead!"

Within a second I feel Sierra taking over my body and the simplest way to describe it is I become a passenger of my own body. Before we start our run, Sierra take a long deep breath, enjoying the freedom.

Sierra started to run deep into the forest, startling little creatures on nearby land with her loud stomping. Gaining even more speed the further she went and jumping over logs and branches that stand in her way.

Around several minutes later, Sierra decide to rest on a nearby river and take a sip of water. She saw her own reflection, bright silver eyes staring back at her, with her dark grey fur covering her whole body.

Her size is bigger than common wolf as she have royal blood running through her bloodline. Edith never get bored when looking at her wolf form through Sierra.

"Sierra, let's get back. It's already quite late and we have a big trip coming ahead of us tomorrow."

"Five more minutes?" Giving me her signature wolf grin.

*Sigh* "Fine five more minutes, not more not less."

"Yipeee..." Sierra start to jump around.

"How are you felling Edith? Still nervous about our trip?"

"Not so much, I guess what I need is a solo midnight run with just the both of us."

Not long after, Sierra start to rise and stomp her paws heading straight back to her castle. Within a few minutes, she found her herself staring her backyard doors.

Edith quickly take over and find a nearby to shift back on her human form and put her clothing back. The sudden thrill from her midnight run exhaust her and she yawns and rubbing her eyes as she walk back to her room.

Once she reach her room, she let her body fall straight to her bed and let the sleepiness took over her.
