The Pack Run

The crisp evening air of the Little Palace grounds hummed with anticipation as the pack gathered for the full moon run. Aleksander, standing at the front of the group, cast his gaze over his wolves—his pack—and then turned toward Amira, his mate, with a quiet smile.

It was a significant moment, one he had been waiting for since their union. Tonight, for the first time, he would introduce Amira's wolf to the entire pack. She had been his elusive white wolf for years, the one no one could catch, the one who had always remained a mystery. But tonight, that would change.

Aleksander knelt before Amira, his voice a low, comforting rumble as he reached out, his hand resting lightly on her arm. "It's time. Show them your wolf, my love."

Amira took a deep breath, her wolf pacing restlessly within her. She could feel the weight of the eyes around them—the pack wolves, curious and excited, waiting for the reveal of their Alpha Luna's true form.

Nervous energy buzzed in her chest, but she knew Aleksander was right. She had evaded them for years, teasing them with the game of chase. Now, it was time for her to stand before them, not just as their Alpha Luna, but as the powerful wolf she was.

As she began to shift, her body contorting and transforming into the sleek, white wolf she had kept hidden for so long, a ripple of awe spread through the pack. Murmurs broke out as her pristine white fur caught the moonlight, and the blue-tipped tail swayed behind her, a clear sign of her dual summoning abilities.

Aleksander smiled proudly as Amira's wolf form stood tall before the pack. His wolf stirred with pride, recognizing his mate, their Luna, in all her glory. He turned to face the crowd, his voice booming with authority. "This is your Alpha Luna, the white wolf who eluded us all for years."

The pack responded with a collective howl, their approval echoing into the night sky. Amira lifted her head and let out a howl of her own, joining the chorus of voices that swirled around her.

As the howls died down, a small figure broke through the crowd, racing toward Aleksander and Amira. Anna, in her wolf form—a small, silver wolf with bright blue eyes—bounded over to her parents. Her tiny tail wagged furiously as she stopped just in front of them, looking up at them with wide, adoring eyes.

Aleksander smiled warmly, kneeling to meet her level. "And here is our pack princess," he said, his voice filled with affection. "Anna."

The pack, who hadn't fully realized Anna's place in the family before now, exchanged glances of surprise and admiration. Anna was not just any wolf; she was the daughter of their Alpha of Alphas and their Alpha Luna. She had been adopted into the most powerful family in the pack, and it was clear now that she was as much a part of them as any blood-born wolf.

Aurelia, who had been standing off to the side, grinned as she watched her father with Anna and Amira. She stepped forward, ruffling Anna's fur with a playful nudge. "Looks like you're not the only princess anymore," she teased, her tone light and affectionate.

Anna yipped in response, her little wolf tail wagging even harder.

Amira shifted back into her human form, the air shimmering around her as her body returned to its familiar shape. She looked down at Anna with a soft smile before glancing up at Aleksander, who had also shifted back, standing tall at her side.

"She's perfect," Amira whispered to him, her voice filled with warmth.

Aleksander nodded, his eyes fixed on his family. "Yes, she is."

The Pack Run Begins

With introductions made and the pack buzzing with excitement, Aleksander gave the signal to begin the run. One by one, the pack wolves began to shift, their forms blending into the night as they prepared for the run across the grounds.
