Chapter 3 Day of The Moon

Finally the long awaited day of the moon had come, the pack was ready and I'm upstairs getting ready.

I hate pack meetings and gatherings but sadly I'm an Alpha's pup what do I have to say

Someone barged into my room I turn and look at the intruder at the door; it's Caleb, my twin.

I can see the tiredness in his eyes he also hates planning events. Sadly as he was Alpha to be he had to plan and also attend them.

He strides to my table and takes my hair-comb in his hand, it's one among the many things we both share. Unhygienic, yes but Caleb was always loosing his combs. Mine was for emergency. He had a comb emergency everyday.

He does his hair and walks out of the room. A moment later, I hear my door creak open I raise my head it was Caleb again.

"You look pretty." he said as he comes closer to me, picks up my comb and starts doing my hair.

I know that's not why he's here, we both know why he's here, my father's many great plans is giving him lot to think about.

"I'm fine Caleb." I give him one of the most reassuring smiles I could muster as I stare at his reflection on the mirror.

"You know you really don't need to do this." he says. Oh Caleb do I look like I have a choice. My face falls and I sigh.

"I could wear a wig and trick them again." Caleb said trying to make the air in the room lighter.

I smiled remembering our childhood stunts when he'd wear a wig and pretend to be me.

"Caleb, father would kill you" I said producing a small smile.

"If he gets his hands on me, Pa is getting weak so he ain't got shit on me." I smack his hand as he 'ohhhs' like a two year old.

"Mind your language when referring to our father"

"Yes Alpha Ci-a-ra" he answered with a mock salute. The room goes silent again.

"You know I'd love to know what college looks like" I said touchingand admiring my hair Caleb had done he smacks me, I growl at him and he laughs.

"College would look like a whole lot of fun, badly Alpha's don't get to go and if you weren't an Alpha's child you would go too." he said picking up my make-up kit. Yes, my brother the Alpha to be, knows how to do make-up he only does mine and mum's no one else.

"And who told you if one of us wasn't going to be the an alpha twin it'd be me?" I asked him.

"Well for starters your skinnier than my painting brush,

Secondly your so light on your feet,

Thirdly you swoon over our head guard,

Fourthly and lastly you're a girl." He shrugged.

"I do not swoon over Markus" I say as my cheeks turns red. Caleb cocks a brow at me and now I grin like a fool he stares intently at me and now I'm sure my whole face is tomato red.

"I do not shwoon over Maacus" he says and moves in an annoying girly manner that I pick up my pillow and throw it at him making sure I get him hard. He laughs out loudly. It's been a while since we had quality sibling time like this, finally we stop and I drop on my bed panting.

Caleb drags me up and takes me to the chair murmuring how I'd smudge his masterpiece.

He adds final finishing touches to my face and beckons me to look at my reflection in the mirror.

I look at the mirror I look beautiful just too beautiful I look up at my brother and he smiles endearingly at me he gave me that everything would be fine smile. We both stare at the mirror once more lost in our train of thoughts then he breaks the silence.

"What if you find you mate tonight, what would you do Ciara?"

"I would do what I am supposed to do for my pack."

"Many lives will be hurt in this journey." he says.

"Maybe this is fates choice for me." I say and sigh.

"Fate might be cruel, but on the bright side he might be your mate." he said trying to give me hope. The 'he', Caleb was referring to was the Alpha who my father had arranged for me.

"He might, he might not." I said Caleb gives me a warm hug and turns away when he gets to the door he pauses;

"Ciara, I know your heart is with another person, but I need you to know I will forever have your back in any choice you make."

"Including eloping" I gape, my eyes grow wide did Caleb just offer me to elope?.

"Yes baby sis, eloping if need be I'll help you out". I run to him and locked him in a warm embrace, I love my brother too much we were still locked in a hug when my door was kicked open there's only one person in this universe who'd kick my door open.

"Ashleyyyyyyyyy." I growl at her.

"Be a dear and keep you inner monster away it's time for you to get dressed." she said dropping my dress on the bed.

"I'll be going." Caleb said.

"Hey Ash, bye Ash" he greeted her and walked out.

"That was weird." I said looking at her she just shrugged and I got into my gown. Tonight's gonna be a goddamned long night my future is going to change from tonight.

The pack grounds was filled I noticed as I got there. I stared around well our hard work really paid off, the setting was marvelous.

It was just the regular Day of the Moon, I wonder why it wasn't named the night of the moon.

The event is to be carried out on the pack ground, the biggest land reserve in the pack.

I could see the tables all set in perfect order.

The first table it was made of oak wood it was for the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Huntress and Zeta.

Next table was for the warriors, scouts and pack hunters. The table after that was for the rest of the pack members subordinates, omega's and pup watchers the pups were pumped when I, Caleb and Markus told them we will be having a day of the moon festival.

I spotted my father Alpha Conan and next to him was my mother Luna Lilith as they sat at the top table.

I watched as my Papa pulled out a seat and whispered her in her eyes as she sat down she giggled like a child; moon goddess why not give me this kind of a relationship.

Next was my brother, Caleb being Caleb wore plain black pants, a black shirt and silver cufflinks and an earring seriously Caleb a half moon earring his outfit was same as mine a black gown which hugged my curves well was open at the back and shimmers when I moved I had a little charm bracelet which had the other half moon which Caleb wore it was our twin gift to each other the only jewelry we wore.

Next to him was Markus the Zeta of our pack, I couldn't tear my eyes away from him he always looked so good but tonight he looked heavenly also dressed in pitch black with only a golden wristwatch he wasn't facing me but talking to his sister Selene the Huntress leader of the Gamers. She was one of the females I liked.

I couldn't spot Malcolm our Beta, he must be out giving orders that guy works way too much.

Next to Markus was Annette, his Eta who was his second in command.

Last but not the least was Conan the Xonar.

Next table had the scouts, Gamers, and Warriors, the table after that the next table had the subordinates and omegas.

The next table held the pups and pups watchers.

Everyone was seated then my father stood up to start the proceedings of the event a hush fell on the people as he started speaking...
