“You're finally going to get your wolf!” happily exclaimed by Cindy, the daughter of Beta Jack.
She was with Princess Hana at the moment while walking towards where the party will be held. They have been best friends since they were a pup as Cindy's father was the older brother of Princess Hana's father.
“I'm so happy for you, finally, you'll be able to come with us and enjoy the scenery outside our pack's periphery” she added while beaming in joy.
It was their pack's rule that those who still haven't awakened their wolf will be forbidden from leaving the pack's periphery as they don't have the ability to protect themselves if danger arises. So the younger generation who haven’t gone through their awakening are like prisoners in the pack, unable to leave until they awakened their wolf.
“But what if I wasn't able to awaken it?” Princess Hana replied asking pessimistically.
“What are you so pessimistic about? Believe in yourself! You're princess Hana, the daughter of the Alpha!”
“Yeah.. I guess” Princess Hana replied unsure, she was nervous as she was the princess, the daughter of the Alpha. What will the others say if she wasn't able to awaken her wolf?.
Just thinking about it made her very pressured. The two of them arrived at the venue after walking for a long time. The two guards guarding the door opened it, allowing the two to get inside. The moment they got in, joyful sounds of voices entered their ears.
“Princess Hana of the Silver Moon Pack has arrived!”
After the two went in, a loud shout attracted everyone's attention as they look towards the door. In there, two gorgeous lady could be seen walking gently, all the mate-less males present in the party have their eyes solely focus to Princess Hana's figure.
She was so beautiful, second only to the moon goddess. They couldn't take off their eyes on her as if it was glued.
Alpha Broderick and Luna Dianne went towards their daughter before having a little talk, afterwards, they all went towards their seat. As Princess Hana's arrival only means one thing, the event is finally starting.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the awaited moment has finally come. Princess Hana of the Silver Moon Pack will be turning 18 and will awaken her wolf, so before the ceremony start, I humbly request everyone to settle down”. Everyone sat on their respective chairs and waited for the emcee to continue.
“So as to start, I'll call the name of the guest or subject of the pack to please come forward and present their gift to our beautiful celebrant”. The emcee stated, it was to make sure that everything goes well and to avoid chaos.
“Alpha Blacky of the Black Spot Pack”
After the emcee chanted the name, a person wearing a black thick clothes stood up, in his hand were a beautifully designed small chest. He was exuding a mighty pressure that makes him different from other's.
“Princess Hana, daughter of the respected Silver Moon Pack's Alpha, I give you this gift as a sign of acknowledgement and respect” he humbly said towards Hana.
“Thank you for the gift, Alpha Blacky” Princess Hana replied with a faint smile on her face, her voice was so sweet that it even enchanted Alpha Blacky.
“It's my pleasure, Princess” Alpha Blacky replied before he went back to his seat.
After him was another Alpha from the other pack, the same thing happened over and over again. A name will be called and he/she will then present gift.
Several hours passed and everyone had finally given their gift with the exemption of Alpha Broderick and Luna Dianne as it was still a secret. The next phase of the event was dancing, when there's an event, dancing will always be present. Many male interested in princess Hana flocked towards her direction asking her for a dance.
However, all of them left disappointed as Princess Hana rejected them one by one. Alpha Broderick smiled seeing his daughter rejecting their invitation. He walked towards her and asked her for a dance.
Princess Hana accepted it without hesitation, she and her father dance beautifully among the crowd. After some time, the two of them took the spotlight as everyone watched from the sidelines, hooked by how well the two danced.
“You're so good in dancing. Who taught you?” Alpha Broderick praised that her daughter was good at it.
“I've trained so hard just for this day, that's why I don't want to waste it to some strangers and only accepted yours” Princess Hana replied smiling meaningfully.
“You cheeky girl” Alpha Broderick muttered smiling bitterly.

“We've come to the final phase of our celebration, Princess Hana's awakening ceremony will start in less than 10 minutes!” the emcee stated in a loud voice gaining the audience salvo.
'It's finally here' Princess Hana thought as she started to feel nervous. The emcee called her out asking to walk towards the altar. Everyone then formed a circle around it where Princess Hana was currently standing.
They then went to their knees and prayed to the moon goddess to bestow her gift. The clouds above the sky departed as the rays from the moon lightened up Princess Hana's beautiful figure.
All the people surrounding the altar turned into wolves in different sizes. The Alpha's from different packs were noticeably big and have a thick strong fur. The other wolf on the other hand are only half the size of the Alpha's.
Loud howling sound escaped from their mouths as if calling for something, it reverberated through the pack house as the bright rays coming from the moon got brighter and brighter.
Princess Hana couldn’t keep her eyes open from the blinding light and was forced to close it. While inside her head praying that her hesitation was void. She prayed that she'll awaken her wolf, that her father, the Alpha will be proud of her.
As the moonlight keeps on getting brighter, Princess Hana's figure could no longer be seen by everyone. They all started distancing themselves from the altar with their heads lowered on the ground in respect.
Several minutes passed and finally the blinding lights disappeared without a trace. The place went silent as everyone saw Princess Hana standing still on top of the Altar.
Prior that night at the Blackburn residence, a huge event was happening. A few hours after Griswold left, Princess Hana that was unconscious had finally woken up. Esmond and the others immediately visited her room in excitement.And before their eyes, Princess Hana’s beautiful and innocent face enraptured their hearts. Renfield was the most noticeable as his eyes had turned into hearts, staring at her with longing.The patriarch and elders also arrived a few minutes after them. All having serious expression but after seeing Princess Hana’s appearance, their eyes couldn’t hide their surprise.“Where is this place?” Princess Hana asked in wonder. Confused why she’s not in the forest anymore.“Hello, you’re in the Blackburn residence of Winterfrost city. We found you in the forest while unconscious so we brought you here.” Alwyn timidly responded.Princess Hana found him adorable and smiled. But noticing that there are many people that she’s not familiar with, she cautiously hide her emo
On the second floor of the Alchemist Association, there are not as many people as that of on the ground floor. Moreover, the people here were well known figures in Winterfrost City and some were powerful practitioners.It is also noticeable that the items on display here are of high quality than those below. The price of the products here are also absurdly expensive. Also, the cheapest product on display were sold for a hundred thousand gold coins.Their group of three did not stay on the second floor for long and immediately moved to the third floor. Unlike the other floors, this floor have no products on display nor many people walking around. Rather, the place was full of rooms.“Hello dear customers, are you here to hire an Alchemist to concoct a pill?” a charming young lady went to their group and asked.“I’m here to see the Branch Manager, please show the way.” Scr
“Stop this meaningless aggression or I’ll be forced to hurt you.” Jake warned, completely blocking Griswold’s attack with his sword.At the same time, he also released his Martial King aura, pressuring his opponent in great multitude. Even the crowd present at the scene could feel the immense pressure. Except for the young man with red eyes and his servant.“Humans really are interesting beings. To attain such skill level, his comprehension ability are truly astonishing. Maybe there are people out there who can contend with my father.”“That would be dangerous. Moreover, their population are abnormally high. If among them, there are three people that can contend with your father, then it would be a disaster.”The young man smiled then looked at his servant. “If you fight him, can you win?”His servant didn’t reply
“Lylia…” Griswold affectionately muttered while caressing his wife’s thin hands.His eyes were misty because of both happiness and grief. After so many years of sacrifices of looking after the mysterious Sun Triad Flower, they had finally found it. Moreover, they found it on the day where his wife’s life was in danger.He clenched his fist tight before standing up. “Wait for me, this time I’ll definitely help you recover.”However, there’s no response from his wife. He could only sigh helplessly before leaving the room.“My lord, the carriage you asked had already been prepared.” the butler that welcomed him a few hours ago reported.Before visiting his wife, he specifically looked for him to prepare a carriage. He plan to visit his old friend who’s helping him take care of his wife.
“I also got this awesome scar” Esmond said, showing off the claw mark left by the big wolf he fought earlier.Everyone looked at his chest with disbelief written in their faces. They couldn’t believe it. How could a wound turned into a scar in just a few hours? Unless one had superb regeneration ability.Iris walked next to him and stared intently at his scar. Afterwards, a smile formed on her face as she looked at his brother. It was a look of contempt and disgust.Renfield wanted to say something but his sister was one step ahead of him.“Wow! Such great scar. You truly are talented compared to my brother who only knows how to look good. He's clearly older than you yet you're better than him”His face turned red in embarrassment. The mockery of his sister was like a knife stabbing him in his chest. He wanted to retort back but there's nothing
“The two of you stay here. I'll follow uncle Griswold as he might need my help”“What are you talking about? You can't just leave us like that!” the girl who was silent moments ago blurted out.“Iris! Stop acting like a child. Esmond is in trouble and I have to go there”Iris looked at her brother hatefully. Its not that she didn't want her brother to help save Esmond, it's just that if he go, no one will be here to protect them if a monster showed up.“Go if you want to go! If the both of us are attacked by savage beast and die, I promise I'll haunt you forever!” Iris furiously said, thinking that her brother didn't care about her.“Fine!” the young boy replied in irritation. He really wished to go and follow his uncle and see him fight in action against that big beast. But because of his younger sister, his chance of seeing it becomes nothing.***Swizz~ swizz~Swizzling sound of the wind could be heard as Griswold ran at an unbelievable speed. He was too fast that it was as though t
