Luhan found himself caught in the middle of a defining moment for his pack. As he watched Mother beckon everyone to leave her and Thunder alone, an air of anticipation and excitement filled the dense foliage. Mother's piercing gaze met Thunder's, her golden eyes shimmering with determination. The sight of Thunder, with his striking lightning bolt on an almost black-grey base, sent a chill down Luhan's spine. He quickly averted his gaze, not wanting to be a witness to their intense connection. "I don't need to see nor hear this," Luhan thought, closing his eyes tightly and covering his ears. The weight of responsibility bore heavily on him, but he knew he had to respect Mother's wishes. He focused on blocking out the world, shutting himself off from the unfolding events. As the minutes dragged on, Luhan's mind began to wander, conjuring up images of the legendary 12. Legends passed down through generations spoke of twelve exceptional wolves, blessed with extraordinary powers and unmatched bravery. Each legend had a unique story, their powers deeply intertwined with the elements they represented. Luhan's heart raced as he imagined the new alpha, the leader who would guide the pack into a prosperous future. The weight of this upcoming decision hung heavily in the air. The fate of their pack and its storied history rested on Mother's ability to choose the worthy successor. Finally, the sound of Thunder departing shattered the silence. Luhan slowly opened his eyes, his curiosity overwhelming his desire for seclusion. He watched as Mother called after Thunder, expressing her gratitude for his time. Her voice echoed through the forest, carried on the winds of change. With Thunder gone and the pack dispersed, Mother turned towards a hidden cave – a secret sanctuary where she often sought solace and guidance. Luhan understood this was her sacred space, a place where she could commune with nature and seek counsel from the spirits of their ancestors. The young wolf couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for her deep connection to their heritage. As the last rays of sunlight filtered through the thick canopy, Luhan made his way out of the dense forest. His paws carried him effortlessly, his mind consumed by the significance of the day's events. The notion of a new alpha, one who would step into the shoes of legends, filled him with both excitement and trepidation.
