Okay, okay, it's a Relena fic I know but the story wouldn't work any other way!
Please don't kill me Liz! ^_^

The Night Hunt
All Relena knew was the pack. They protected and loved her. As long as her father was the alpha male no harm would come to her. The other females, such as Dorothy, despised her for being Princess Bitch and even more resented her mother for being Head Bitch.
It was peaceful up in the mountains, though, where the pack resided. No one could harm them while they were there. The inn they ran was the perfect place for weary travelers to stop and rest their bodies. Quite a few were destined not to leave.
Relena loved to romp and play in the wide spaces of the mountain valleys. Many times her older brother, Milliardo, would come to make sure the other males of the pack would not harm her. No one ever would though.
Tonight, however, she was to seek out those other males. Tonight she was to pick one for her mate.
"Father please don't make me go with one of them," Relena protested loudly. "They do not like me. Just look at them fighting over me like some possession." She pointed to the seven males fighting vigorously, already in their fur. "It's the title they want, not me."
"Relena," her father said calmly. "Tonight is your sixteenth year. You must choose a mate. Even the moon has blessed us with all her glory tonight. Once in fur you will not be so reluctant."
"But father-" she started but he silenced her with his fingertip.
"You must choose between the seven," he said in a tone that no one in the pack disobeyed
Relena dropped her head in submission. All of them were so immature. Perhaps she would choose Quatre. He had always been nice to her but they were only playmates.
Relena stepped out into the moonlight and welcomed the change.
