A Wolfs Soul

Chapter Two

* New character introduction- Josh "Prince" of the Crimson Thunder Pack. He is also of royal decent much like Logan is. Their clans long ago had a disagreement over a piece of land that has never been forgiven by either clan. Their Clans are not allowed to cross the border lands or may be persecuted for it.*

"Why am I doing this?" Josh thought to himself as he grabbed his bag filling it with some snacks, a flask of water, and a blanket.

He was getting ready to run, something is pulling him he had to find it and he didn't know why. But it's strong and all he knew about where he is going was that he had to cross the border lands, which means possible persecution if he gets caught. But he doesn't care enough to stay, he needs to know what it is that's pulling him there. He made his way out of the camp as quickly and quietly as he could, if he was caught now he would never make it there in time. When he made it to the edge of the clearing he looked back at a his distant home.

"I'm sorry mom, dad... I'll be back soon... I hope"

Josh began to run transforming into his wolf as he did, he had to make some ground by morning light or he would be caught quicker than he had made his decision to run away.

*Back to Logan*

Alex comes in through the door of Logan's room to come wake her for her big day.

"Logan"

"..."

"Logan"

"..."

"LOGAN!"

Logan jumps from the bed startled and sleepy. She stutters the words

"Huh w-w-what I'm awake, I'm awake."

"Oh okay good" Alex say doubled over in laughter.

"Ugh you jerk I was trying to sleep"

" Yes I'm aware of that but it's a big day you have to start getting ready. If you thought my ceremony was a pain in the ass then you've got another thing coming."

"What are you talking about?"

"You're the god damn princess the Morenden werewolf clans. Your ceremony is bringing packs from all around, if it's anything less than spectacular you will be a disappointment to your pack and your people."

"Wow thanks Alex, great pep talk. And don't call me that you know I don't like it when people refer to me as that."

"What? You mean when people call you a princess? Well honey I hate to break it to you but you are, it's not something you can change." Alex tells me half teasing me half being completely honest

"YES ALEX I KNOW, THANK YOU!" I yell at her annoyed sending a glare her way.

We share an awkward moment of silence before we look at each other and laugh.

"You know you could never stay mad at me for more than ten seconds" Alex giggles to me " Now come on I have to take you to get Maria to do your make up and give you your flower crown."

"But I'm tired Alex." I whine to her hoping she might let me sleep for five more minutes

"I know I know, but if I let you go back to sleep we'll both get in trouble."

Alex comes around to my side of the bed and helps me out the door. We walk over to Maria's hut and she lets us in.

"Ooo honey come here lets see what we can do about those bags under your eyes, I take it you didn't get much sleep last night?"

Maria grabs me and pulls me over to her hair and make up station. Maria is basically our packs fashionista, she does hair, make up, and clothes for all the special occasions in our pack. Shes very friendly and well maybe a little too chatty but she that best at what she does so we don't mind.

"No not really"

"Ah yeah me either when I turned. It's a stressful thing ya know, and a girl your age is just not really equipped to- "

I am too tired to listen to Maria tell me all about her transformation and something is bugging me I don't what, I have this feeling that there's somewhere I need to be. Oh whatever it's probably just the jitters.

*A few hours later*

"So what do ya think?" Maria asks eagerly.

Alex looks at Logan to see a beautiful young woman standing before her. Shes wearing a fitted bodice floor length gown in a pale floral pink color, the torso part of the dress has a beautiful see through crochet design around the waist. Her fingernails and toenails are painted in the same shade of pink. Her long golden brown hair has wavy curls in it and a flower crown of miniature pink roses lay a top her head. Her eyelashes are curled with a thin coat of mascara on them, making her icy blue eyes pop.

"Oh...my... god... she looks amazing!"

"Can I see?" Logan asks

"Sure can baby girl." Maria replies giving her the go ahead

"I look amazing!" Logan shrieks the whips her body around to give Maria a huge hug "Thank you so much Maria!"

"It was my pleasure hon, now go on I'm sure your parents will want to see you before the ceremony starts. I think their in the garden putting the finishing touches on it before it's time."

Logan and Alex make their way to the garden.
