The Dawn of The Crescent

Chapter Nine: Leo's POV;
    Yes, Truely today is the day! The day had been wonderful, Filar kept my company. We kept talking on how to train your wolf amd so many wolfy related stuffs especially matey stuffs. Anytime we talk about mates, Auriga comes to mg mind and my heart skips several beats. I kept on asking myself, Is she the one? Does she loves me? Does she even notice me... Yes, i make her laugh and stuff but Does she feel the same way I feel?
      9:30pm says the clock as I hurriedly sped to the bathroom for a quick shower, after bathing I brushed my teeth and smiled handsomely to the image staring at me in the mirror.
   I rubbed my body with lotion after wearing a blue underpant. I opened my wardrobe, and brought out a sky blue shirt with long sleeves, it was smoothly ironed and the gator I ironed on the shirt could behead an ant. I wore it but it felt big on my body so I decided to change it, I glanced a bit at the wall clock and it read 10pm. "Oh shit! I have to be fast" I said in a whisper.
    I took a quick glance at my wardrobe and my my optic nerves kept browsing and sending the images at sight to my brain. My eyes fell on my plain light green shirt, I picked it up and wore it, it was perfect. I wore a black jean that I had prepared to wear with the shirt. I picked my light green canvas, slid it on my legs before lacing it. Wow! Excellenté! Perfecto! Hardayie! What other word can I use to classify my handsomeness! I thought as I kept posing and looking at myself at the mirror after wearing my favorite silver wristwatch.
      I came out of the pack house before asking Filar to please take me to school which he gladly accepted after commenting on my dressing. Yeah! Am so handsome that I think guys would turn to gay when they lay their eyes on me. (And like Akanbi Daniel would comment. Ómò it is not easy.)
       We arrived at THUS in thirty minutes. And as I alighted, a very familar person alighted the blue Dartium Sport Car in front of us, yeah it was Daniel. He looked really handsome, with his golden hair adding to his handsomeness, he was wearing a red with blue diagonal stripes cloth, his blue jean and a red shoe with blue lace with his tattoo showing on his shoulder and his sliver wristwatch laying perfectly on his wrist. He is gorgeous!  I thought instantly as I lay my eyes on him.
    "Hey...... Leo!"
"Hey...... Crux!" I said imitating him.
   We exchanged handshakes with shoulder pats.
    "Men...... You are looking Handsome." He commented.
    "Thank you....You are looking more handsome bro" I commented genuinely.
     "Thanks." He replied as we walked through the west wing.
    Finding the ceremonial hall was as easy as the wink of an eye, maybe because we had seen it before or maybe because we were following the multitude. Alot of pack members were greeting us and commenting on our dressing as we walked pass the hall,many were older than me amd some were my age mate.
     We walked into the ceremonial hall and we were slightly marveled at the sight before us. The center bulb, the large curtains, the perfect song written by my favorite artist, Patricia Diamond playing, you have to hear her sing, she sings just like Sia.
      We walked to the champagne table, where the cups of champagne was arranged in a pyramid shape, seven of them. Then a fountain of a liquid probably champagne also was what marveled me most.
     I took a cup amd Crux did the same, I turned back and my optic nerves fell on two familar girls walking majestically through the eastern wing of the hall. I tapped Crux and pointed at the girls. I heard him sip a little of the cup of champagne in his right hand. I sipped a little quantity of the liquid and it tasted like champagne but more like a black berry flavor, i took another one from the pyramid before proceeding to meet the girls and Crux followed.
    "Do you care for any drink?" I asked politely like a stranger with the hope of purposing to a lady.
    "No, thank you Leo." Auriga replied jokingly collecting the cup of drink from me.
    "Evening Virgo" I greeted and she replied before stretching her hands for a shake, but I was awestruck when I pushed myself to her in a warm embrace and after some seconds she withdrew from embrace with her cheeks red.
    Crux greeted them, bowing and smiling to Virgo and she returned the greeting with a smile as she accepted the champagne from him while Auriga hugged him as a reply to his greeting
     "Baby, you look beautiful" I commented Auriga and she turned around like cinderella.
    "You look handsome too. You are like a Prince in green." She replied and I felt my head sweeling.
     Tin, tin, tin was the sound that broke our beautiful conversation. We turned around and saw Mrs Patricia hitting the cup of the champagne with one of her claws in other to get the attention of the students. I cheeked the time and it told me the time was 10:59pm.

************
After the long boring speech that lasted for thirty minutes,  the graduation of the finishers and awarding the outstanding students, the freshers were finally called to the stage. Yes, IT IS TIME! I felt my heart beat fast but it suddenly began to slow down when I felt a cold thrill on my hands. I turned to the direction of the thrill and noticed it was Vidgo holding my hand, she must have noticed that my hands were shaking.
     We walked to the wide and big podium like stage like a school of titus or sardine.
    "We are all here to witness another emergence of new wolves" Mrs Patricia informed and everyone applauded. ".....  as you all know, there are four divisions of wolves, The Alpha , The beta, The Omega and The deltas." She continued. "Yearly, we have an Alpha, two betas, three omegas and a lot of Deltas." She concluded as she walked to the middle of the curtains.
    A big bell rang twice, there was perfect silence, so silent that even the cricket and the bugs were quiet for that moment, the big curtains went down and the Lunar goddess emerged, surrounded and accompanied by stars and laid perfectly with the clouds. She was so close to the earth, that you will think if you run a few miles, you will touch her. She illuminated the room, and as her glorious light filled the room all candles put off their little light in acknowledgment.
    "Close your eyes and connect with the moon goddess" Mrs Patricia said in a voice more than a whisper but everyone could hear.
     I closed my eyes gently and as slow as I could. I felt Virgo's hand slide down my hand. I slowly felt a connection in my heart, all my nerves were up and I felt butterflies in my tummy(Not literally, idiomatically). I felt my heart beat rise and I think I will need a doctor cause i think it is beating 200BPM, I felt adrenaline pumping,my muscles started rising and my eyes running west to east as I breathe in fresh air. I felt my hairs rising like am floating in space. I stretched my tongue to touch my teeth and I discovered it is longer than normal, I think it is fangs. OMFM (Oh my f***ing Moon)! My first Fangs!
I folded my fingers into a fist and noticed my nails were longer than normal, even thicker than normal. I used my thumb to run through the other fingers like someone playing a piano. OMFM! My claws!. My ears rose and I could hear heartbeats,especially Auriga's own since she was closer to my left ear. I breathe fresh air again, and I could smell the Champagne that was miles away, I breathe again, and I could smell Mrs Plankton perfume, she was not in the hall all through the event, maybe she just entered.
   I felt my brain open wider, and immediately, I heard a familar voice which spoke softly. "Hello, anybody here"
   "Auriga?"
"Leo?" She replied.
   "You can hear me?"
"Perfectly" I replied and I was filled with joy. I felt like jumping up and down like a kid playing with his airplane.
     "Auriga? Leo?" Another familar voice spoke.
"Crux!" We both screamed in unison.
    "Crux?" A different but familar voice spoke.
   "Virgo!" We screamed in unison again.
    "Wow, we are Mindlinking" Virgo stated happily.
      "Concentrate!" Mrs Patricia spat.
  I continued with the connection with Lunar.
      Like Lunar was a conductor, conducting a set of choristers, we all roared loud with our head facing the ceiling and our eyes glowing, our claws stretching and facing the south, our fangs were visible and veins that supplies the neck blood were visible. Though we were in our half human half wolf form, our inner self had emerge and we are now officially WEREWOLVES.
    I began to hear different name from mg left to my right after the roaring stuff is over, I began to wonder what was going on, I tried to open my eyes but they failed to answer me before I closed them tighter. I heard Virgo and Auriga say two differnt names but I can't recall what they said. I tried to open my eyes but unfortunately they proved futile so I closed them tighter before trying again. As I opened mg eyes I saw my self in a white room with a wolf with pure white fur, a black lining on it's kneel and around its claws, it was beautiful but its eyes was closed, and it said in a semi whisper "ORION"
    Immediately it said it, I felt my mouth repeating what it said. As I repeated what its said it opened it's eyes.
    "If your wolves eyes are black kindly step backwards" Mrs. Patricia informed, alot of people moving backwards was heard.
         "If your wolf eyes is Orange, move to the left." She continued and A few steps were heard.
       "If your wolf eyes are blue, move to the right" she continued and a few steps were heard.
      "If your wolf eyes are red, move forward" she concluded and a single person moved forward.
     "You there!" She screamed. "Are you deaf? What is the colour of the eyes of your wolf?" She asksd that's when I noticed she was talking to me.
      I opened my eyes slowly and I felt my eye glow in the same colour of my wolf.
     "GOLDEN!"
