Chapter 5
"Let all wolves with a pack name meet beneath Alpha Peak," howled a large scarlet she-wolf. I have heard many stories from the elders about her, her name is Highsun. She is leader of the Black Moon Pack, my pack. The entire pack sat in organized rows with a column down the center. My mother, Nico, me, and my father all walked down the center in unison. "We have come for a teacher selection for two of our pups," stated Highsun. "Sharpfang, Sandfur." My mother and father bowed to Highsun and started chanting, "we submit our Nona and our Nico to you, to train to become wolves of the Black Moon Pack." Highsun howled yet again as my mother and father backed away, leaving Nico and I in the center. Highsun leaped down from Alpha peak and stepped towards us. An alpha is known to care for his/her pack as if they were there own pups, but it seemed as if we were mer prey as she stood over us and growled. This wasn't a play or accepting growl, but one that was given before a kill. My instincts told me to drop to the ground as Nico had already done, but seeing my brother scared triggered something in me, it was fury. His fear pulsed towards me threatening to drown me. I put one paw over him to cover him and I growled in my alphas face. It was a growl that felt as if it came from the tip of my tail and pulsed power as it moved through my muscles. Finally I leaped.
