We open the door to Casters office. All around the room everyone was standing. Caster walked in first and I followed and Flint closed the door behind. Caster sat in his chair, I was standing to the side of him when he grabbed me and sat me on his lap. It took me by surprise a little but I ignored it and just sat contently.
"Is that what we are here for?" I hear Arrah yip
She was pointing to my neck and she was talking about Caster marking me. I looked at Caster. I wanted him to take the lead.
"No, and yes." Caster answered "We accomplished what we went to the summit for but unfortunately the after effects are coming for us."
"What do you mean?" Armin asked.
"Well the guy turned out to be Arkin, an Alpha at the summit and we saw him before he saw us and that is why Izzy is marked." Caster answered.
"Okay new question." Arrah said, "Who is Izzy?"
"Me, I am Izzy. When I proved to the whole room of alphas what Arkin was doing, Apparently It gave my real identity away to an alpha and Luna who knew my parents. Turns out they are my aunt and uncle."
"Oh. You found out who you are?" Armin asks.
"Yeah." I nod my head, "I gained more family then what I want though because I gained a great aunt and uncle on my mothers side but Arkin is my uncle as well." I explained further.
"The man that kept you prisoner and killed your parents is also your uncle?" Arrah clarified.
"Yes, and when he was outed at the summit he disappeared and we all think he is getting his army to start a war. The only way to stop him is for me to challenge him." I explained.
" Izzy being the rightful alpha, and how strong she is . she will have no problem beating him." Caster boasts.
"Izzy, do you know how a challenge works?" Armin asks.
"Not a clue." I admitted, "there wouldn't be a book by chance?"
" It has to be a formal challenge. Your wording must include your full name, rank or ranks, you pack and your intent to challenge and why. So as you could say, 'I Izobel luna of valley green and rightful alpha of crimson powers challenge you Arkin, for you title of alpha, I issue this because of the theft of title, the murder of children, and the countless other immoral infractions that have brought us here.' Has to be formal and respectful." Armin explained.
"Can I just say that technically.?" I asked.
"Yes, but feel free to add anything you want to it just follow procedure." Armin said.
"When they show up to fight we have to get Izzy to him. She can do the rest." Caster explained. "Arrah we are sorry but we need to postpone your birthday party at least."
"I totally understand. It's fine." Arrah replied.
"We will make it up to you, we promise." I assured her.
After reading the books I understood now how important a wolf's 18th birthday truly is. Once they turn 18 they can finally find their mate and instead of focusing on that she may be helping out in a war. They also can shift for the first time. It is one of the most important birthdays a wolf, especially a young female wolf has.
"So all the young and anyone who can't fight will hide out in the rooms under the cells. We need to stock the room with water and food. Arrah you and Armin will be up in the cells."
"Why?" Arrah asked
"You need your dad for the first shift, and I don't want you in the war bunker until after you have shifted back for the first time. The cells will give you privacy and safety." Armin answered.
