Silver Meets Royalty

Chapter 2- Evaluation

Imene  P.O.V.

     ''Knock knock" my bestfriend Joy said while walking in with a breakfast tray.

     I scoot over in bed to get her a place to sit next to me as our other bestfriend James come walking in with cups and a gallon of orange juice.

     "I can't believe your still in bed! Shouldn't you be getting ready for the evaluation." Joy said looking at me like a mother scolding her child.

     " I'm up now and why are you so excited anyway." I said as I grab a piece of a bagel with strawberry creme cheese on it.

     "Now you know she ready to meet her mate. Hell I'm ready for her to meet her mate so she can stop talking about it." James said as he rolled his eyes.

     "Just because you guys are nervous of the unknown doesn't mean you have to be sassy."

     Joy is like the complete opposite from me infact her name literally describes her personality. I never witness her cry or worry she just trusts the moon goddess to guide her life. She loves the idea of love so having a mate is her biggest dream but having a destined mate was her ultimate wish.

     James is the confident, popular guy who every girl drools over but he isn't interested. He has always been a warrior at heart. His only desire is to become a high ranked warrior and make his father proud. His father was the best warrior my pack has had in years but due to a war that took place a few years ago James father died.

     After eating breakfast and hearing joy talk about the testing center and James tell her to stop being soo bubbly about it I decided to get dress. I put on my favorite Nike training set and we start to head to the testing center.

     The counsel is three women who happened to be elders of the royal family for 100th years. Rumor is they are not silvers but they do have a powerful line of communication with the moon goddess which is why they have been deciding people fates since the royal family created the evaluation. They will be scoring on physical strength, physical and mental skills, knowledge on pack life , and balance between your human form and wolf form.

     We finally enter the testing center where wolves are waiting on their number to be called. My number is 55. I looked on the roster when I first walked in and noticed that it's 55 wolves here for the evaluation which means I'll have to be here until everyone else is gone. My day is just getting worse and worse like what is the chance that I'll have to go last when all I wanted is to get it over with.

     My dad is at a neighborhood pack helping with another pack's evaluations so I won't see him until tomorrow. Each pack has its own evaluations and the mating ceremony usually takes place a designated location that didn't belong to any pack. This year the royal family is hosting the mating ceremony for each pack in the kingdom.

3 hours later

     "Number 55. Please come forward and enter the brown door to your left." The speaker boomed reminding me where I am . I been here for 5 hours and I don't even know what rank Joy and James got because once you get your rank you leave out of a different door that you entered.

     As I walk in I see the counsel members sitting in their silver robes watching my every move as I stop right on the x that is marked on the floor.

     "Please state your name, your wolf name , and your current rank." The elder in the middle with the name tag that reads Ainsley spoke up.

     "My name is Imene Cruz, my wolf name is Shay , and my current rank is alpha daughter." I noticed how Ainsley eyes rose slightly at the mention of me being one of the alpha's daughter. My siblings are all older so it hasn't been evaluations for the high ranked members in the pack for 3 years now.
