JULY

Mika sighed once more for the hundredth time. Or so it seemed.

Her mother and father were hunters of the Crystalleaf pack. They were never home, so she was alone tonight, the night before the most important day of her life.

Again. She still loved them dearly though. Who wouldn't? They were important members of Crystalleaf. They brought all the food back after all.

Her sweet sixteen had been wonderful and important. So had her graduation.. This though was so much more important. She was nineteen going on twenty, and old enough for the Alpha Run. She could be finding her possible mate.. Move out of her hometown.. Into a new pack as a Luna..

The thought alone scared her. All of her life she had believed she was just some regular pack member meant to be with a normal guy. But, here she was. Almost twenty, mateless, going into the biggest mating event for alphas ever made. She shuddered at it. Not really because of the cringe factor. More like the terror.

Honestly she should have gone last year, but her birthday was just after the event. She didn't make the age cut. Mika couldn't use that to her advantage anymore though.

The Run was scary. Mika felt anxious, like the pit of her stomach was dancing with fire. Oddly enough, this fire wasn't entirely uncomfortable. Almost as if her body knee something she didn't. Still, she didn't really want to leave her life behind. Her parents. Her friends. She never thought of herself as alpha mate material.

Who does?

Well...

Okay so some specific, head up their asses, females did. Some guys too.

The thought of having so much responsibility was nearly unbearable, but if it was her destiny then it simply was. She would have to do her best to help the new pack. She would be determined to.

In a way the thought excited her as well. Ugh, why couldn't she sort out her own feelings? Was she nervous or was she terrified?!

A Luna... a young lady, or young man in some cases, picked by the moon goddess to help the alpha take care of their pack. She couldn't help but be awed by the thought. They were so important.. Not only did they take care of the pack, but she had witnessed her own Luna calm the alpha down enough to keep a war from happening. Such beautiful and powerful beings.

She would never make a good one.

Would she?

After making a rather small dinner, Mika did what little chores she had for her parents, and decided to take a bath. The laundry had helped busy her mind. Picking herbs and flowers with the other girls had put her In a state of peace. Herbs and scents of flowers could do wonders for the body. Foraging was always fun in Crystalleaf. .

She wanted to be presentable tomorrow, because first impressions on over bearing alphas were normally important. She was covered with dirt, leaves, and mud. Not only that but she smelled like one of her favorite plants. Gardenia.. Mika sighed contently to it's scent. She grew them herself, and couldn't help but nap in them from time to time. They were all around the pack. She personally tended to them, and the sweet pea as well.

She scrubbed her grimy skin clean, and the scent went with it sadly. Though, it wouldn't matter much if she was clean or not. Not this time at least. Everyone would be dirty after tomorrow's Run.

It was a rainy, summer, night in South Carolina. Mid Summer. To be exact, July. From what she had heard through the grapevine it was also raining in No Man's Land. It would make The Run muddy tomorrow.
