Chapter 6
Once I left the ground, Highsun slid neatly away. I don't know what caused me to turn but just as I was about to slam head first into Alpha peak my body instinctively twisted so I could push off of Alpha peak with my hind legs. I landed on her back but before u could react she had me belly up on the ground with a single mighty paw on me. I knew she was going to kill me because when you challenge an Alpha within a pack it is usually to the death, but surprisingly I wasn't afraid. Then the pressure from her paw lifted and I looked towards my brother. He was petrified. I stepped over towards him to try to calm him. Highsun came and sat in front of us. I guess I tensed up because she laughed "calm down little one, your fight is not with me." Currently she was the least of my worries, I was still calming Nico down. "Nico," Highsun began,"you showed a natural understanding of authority and a trusting of your instincts. You will be known as Night." She took his muzzle in her jaws in acceptance. "You will be taught by Lionclaw. A large, majestic, golden wolf stepped out, his thick pelt around his throat made it look as if he had a mane. He was Highsun's beta. "Nona," she turned to me. I knew that if she wasn't going to kill me than she would set me to exile. " you showed great strength when you attacked me as a threat yet you showed that you had a soft side when you cared for your brother, a pack needs this loyalty if it is to survive. You will be known as Ice." She took my muzzle and I was still in shock that she is allowing me to stay. "I personally wouldn't want to be an enemy of you so I will take you in as a half-wolf." That's when I thought I went crazy, it was an honor to be trained by the Alpha and half-wolves trained by Alphas almost always become Alphas them selves. "May I speak Alpha," a familiar voice rang out, just as I feared, it was Tigerblaze. "Yes Tigerblaze?" "Is it wise to take on a half-wolf who just tried to attack you Highsun?" He asked with a snarle. "This pack needs strong wolves to keep our heads above water and due to the fact that I was the one to have her claws in my pelt, I'd say she meets standard." Tigerblaze sat and said nothing after that. "We welcome you, Night and Ice as half-wolves of the Black Moon Pack. A group of howls erupted from the pack, a song of welcome. Highsun didn't speak until the noise died down. "Rest you two, training starts at dawn" at that she came down from Alpha peak and into her den. Night and I started to walk towards the half-wolf den but I was quickly intercepted by Tigerblaze, "if I were you mutt, I'd watch me back, cause I'll be chewing on it." I knew for sure then that I made an enemy with Tigerblaze.
