《You're the One (white wolf)》Chapter 18 - the Luna's ceremony
Advertisement
Audrey brought me to her room, she told me that she already pick a dress for me. She lead me to her closet.
I'm speechless, I think my eyes got wide like saucer, the dress, it is so elegant, like I'm about to be a princess, I silently say thank you to her, as I'm still in daze.
"I, -I am , I mean Audrey it is too much
Ssshhh, you child deserve it, you're going to be the Luna and you will be my child also, so you deserve the best. But for now we have to arrange your hair and make up. So, take a seat and I'll call my make up artist to come here now." She said happily.
Soon a pretty lady, same age of Audrey, come into my view. She said hi first and introduce herself before started to do my hair.
And here is the finished product.
Then, after that she did my make up, telling me that I dont need put more saying that I am naturally beauty, which I humbly appreciated.
After one and half hour, I'm done. Audrey told me that I need to stay here for a while. I nod at her and try to calm myself. I am so nervous, no words to explain, and my heart is beating so fast. I grabbed my necklace, and closed my eyes, I think about my parents, to calm me down. After few moments someone came forward to me. It is Cole, smiling and guide me come outside.
"Luna, I'm here to escort you to the ceremony." He offer his forearm and I smilingly accept it.
"Thank you, Cole." We then proceed outside the pack house, he asked me to wait a little as Alpha Philip was still talking in the stage.
I bite my lips, the tension inside my body is getting high. This is the first time I will face the pack, I mean the whole pack, and I dont know if they will accept me.
"Avalane, is that you?" My mom and dad come forward at me. They have teary eyes and then they embraced me. I'm about to cry when my mom said don't, as the make up will be ruined. I laugh because of her statement. My father kissed my forehead and wish me that everything will be alright, and he said that they love me forever. I'm trembling when I heard that because without them I'm not here.
I just wish also that my true parents are here, that they are here wishing me goodluck and happiness. I can't control myself being sad, thinking about them.

"I love you Dad, I love you Mom." I murmured while my eyes are closed. Suddenly I smelled him, my mate.
"Hey, why are you sobbing?" He looked alarmed.
"I'm just wishing that my true parents are also here, to witness me being with you. Being a Luna of your Pack." I told him, which made his arm, wrapped around my body. He whispered sweet nothings to me, telling me that wherever they are, they are happy because I grown to be kind, compassionate and lovely lady. Hearing this from him make me relax. My nervous slightly lessened.
"Come on, dont be sad, I am here always for you, you have me my Love." He declared, and I nod to him, he kissed me and we walk together on the stage.
"Thank you everyone for making it all tonight, as we all know, the Blood moon pack is one of the top packs in north america and to keep it strong and in order, I would like to present to you, my Son, , as the new Alpha of Blood Moon Pack, please give him a round of applause." Alpha Philip announced, Zander guide me first up to the stage before taking the limelight from his father.
"Thank you. I'm grateful that everyone of you warmly accepted me as your new Alpha. Now, I would like to present to you my mate, your Luna, AVALANE MARIE COLLINS." I walked towards Zander. He held my hand while I'm hearing a lot of murmurs coming from the crowd. Suddenly Zander spoke again.
"And as our pack' tradition, if there are any she-wolves who want to challenge the moon goddess' Luna, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Butterflies on my stomach erupted. The chatters are getting loud, until ......
"I, Nathalie Reid, Beta's Daughter of Blood moon Pack, Challenge Avalane Marie Collins, for the Luna Position." She declared, as I expected. She's will never gonna give up.
' I'm gonna beat her ass to pulp.' Althea mumbled in my head. I smile at her in my mind even I feel sick now.
"I, Annalie Browns, warrior of the Blood Moon, Challenge Avalane Marie Collins for the Luna Position." I looked at her, she's one of my classmate, well she knows I'm weak.
"I, Britney Smith, warrior of the Blood Moon Pack, challenge Avalane collins for the luna position." I looked at her and saw her face scrunched in disapproval. I feel my rage inside of me starting to set.
' Come on, do I have to beat all the unmated she-wolves here?' Althea snarled, I just rolled my eyes on her banter.

' How dare them questioning our capability to lead this pack!' She yelled,
She's furious and ready to charge but I stopped her. I told her that we cannot kill them or else all male wolf here will be mate-less. She just snort, and block me out.
"Is there more?" I asked Zander, showing to him that I am not afraid, he just smile at me.
"5, Love, they are 5." He informed. "Ok, why not all the unmated she-wolves challenge me as Althea said." His eyes widen, does he think I am joking?
"It's okay Zander, as I expected, this will going to happen, they think I cannot lead this pack with you because I'm just an Omega, a weak, but dont worry about me ok?" I said, assuring him that I'm not going to bow down.
"Ok, but I have to inform you, they will going to shift in their wolf form, and you must not." He said in low voice.
"I know, I know what to do, me and Althea knows what to do. But What I wanted to do now is, if everything is settled, can we go back now at the pack house? I dont want to stay here, I feel I'm suffocating, and I dont want to see their faces showing disappointment and disgust." He come and wrapped me to his body. He nodded and we left the stage.
When we are inside the pack house. Alpha Derrick is there, with dark, cold face.
"Hi, Alpha, How's the searching?" I asked even though I know the answer, his mate is gone, she left already, and I dont know where she will go, she didnt tell me, and I trust her. He then looked at me and give me a smirked.
"You seemed not afraid Luna, five warriors challenged you and you looked so cool." He said while Zander hold my hand tight. He's about to snarled at him when I rest my hand on his chest, telling him that 'let me handle this bitch'.
"Well, A little, but I expected that since I found out that my mate is the future Alpha of this pack, I am ready since the time me and Zander accepted each other." I looked at him and see that he was stunned by my answer. I then start to smirk at him.
"What about you? Did she accepted you?" I said while he's glaring at me now.
"No, and I didn't find her here, but I have the feeling that she lives here, and I am planning to stay for few more days. Is it alright Alpha, Luna?" I didnt answer, I let it to Zander, who say yes to him.
"Thank you, and Good luck Luna to your fight." He then leave us. While me and zander start to walk again.
Entering my room alone as I asked Zander to let me just take shower.
But before that I told him that he can sleep with me in my room but just sleep and he gave me a naughty smile. I quickly run to my bathroom and do my business while thinking about my bestfriend, I am not really worried about the challenge, I am worried about Olivia, where she will go and how's the feeling that you're away from your mate.
After I finishe my shower and wear my clothes, I went to the kitchen to have some snack.
"Zander, these five warriors including Nathalie that I will face tomorrow, do I have to kill them? Or can I just submit them to me. Because I dont really want to kill as they are still our pack members. They have parents and siblings, and they just being blinded to challenge me." I said in flat tone, he looked at me and said that I have to, if only we still have time atleast he can ammend this law.
"Ok, and Zander did you have any idea where is olivia and jake?"
"Jake just asked me if they can go, and I granted him. I didnt asked him because I know, he also dont know. It was unexpected and not planned so we just have to wait Ava for them. Praying that they will be safe." He sighed and looked at me.
"Yeah, she will overcome this, she's strong."
"Same like you!" Zander said while pinching my cheek.
"Ava, tomorrow , be careful in fight, please note that they are warrior, they have some things up their sleeves. Promise me My Love." Zander looked baffled.
I, on the other hand didnt like this, he should not be so worried about me.
"Zander, please dont worry about me, and I'll be careful." I kissed him and he kissed me back. I told him that I am sleepy and want to sleep, so he quickly ushered me to my room as I told him.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
