"Where there is a will there is always a way

And where there is fire there is hope for a new day

Where there is truth and purity there is a power

I simply cannot define but in due time all will come full circle"

A wise one once said, And it would never be more true than right here today and right now. They just didn't know this yet. That is all

Winter's POV

The morning came fast but and in an hour everyone was ready for my swearing in.

I was shaking like crazy and my Family could see it.
hey
"Don't worry bro your going to do just fine". Solaris said in a kind and motivating tone.

"yeah Hon you care going to be the greatest." Jasmine said while Nuzzling me.

Well easy for you guys to say you never had to be turned into a wolf learn you have a great spirit mother and she is a wolf and now have to lead a pack of millions of wolves. I said in my head.

Solaris POV:

"Oh we don't bro? I think you forgot the four of us have been in this together so…" I said. "Need I remind you I can do that mind reading business too so ease up on the negativity" I added

"So are we just gonna stand here all day or are we gonna do this so we can all have a break?". " I've seen enough action and been through enough formalities for one week" I said in a somewhat commanding but not rude tone.

"Don't look at me I don't start the ceremony Saint does." Winter said

"So let's get on with it. Sunset is in a few hours and I don't want to miss it this time" I said. "Saint can do the honours now" I added after a brief moment of silence and the black and gold brute stepped up to the altar and begin citing the the oath.

"Winter do you promise to govern this pack with Authority, honour, dignity and respect to the old ways and with sworn honesty come whatever may through illness and health."Saint said

"Yes I do" Winter said

"Very well, step up to the altar and repeat the oath then we shall proceed my alpha" Saint said in a commanding tone. One he was famed for across the land.

Winter stepped up to the altar and repeated after Saint.

"repeat after me" Saint said.

"On my Honor I will govern this pack and always follow the Law of the alphas"

Saint motioned for Winter to follow him to the falls. "This is the holy waterfall, we have been swearing new alphas in with a bathe in this fall for generations, It is my honour to oversee this occasion" Saint said with pride to his new alpha "It's not cold so don't be shy, just don't soak me I just got dried off from an earlier dive in the lake" he added with a genuine chuckle.

"Ok saint I won't." Then Winter walked in the warm water and then swam to the falls and went into the falls.

Winter's POV:

the water felt warm and comforting and I felt that I could stay there for hours but I could not other wolves were waiting for me but just as I was about to leave I swear I saw my Mother in the Cave but when I looked back I didn't see anything. But I then heard her say "Well done my son. I'm proud of you" in the back of my mind and I acknowledged her presence out loud by saying "Thank you mother I won't ever let you or the clan down"

Solaris POV:

I blinked for a second as soon as Ghost finished his initiation as alpha and I saw a solid white wolf with golden eyes in the background behind one of the falls and I heard her say something. So I said "I told you it would all work out in the end didn't I?" I asked and then I added "We're all proud of you bro, This was a long time coming for the clan but all of our mother's hard work is finally beginning to pay off. Why don't we just hang out here tonight and celebrate your promotion. Saint told me earlier today that he knew where the rest of our clan was and that we could go visit them all tomorrow if you wanted, I for one am about ready for a nice relaxing dive in the lake, I don't know about the others but I'm perfectly fine with being here for the full moon tonight and enjoying some of the easy life" I said acknowledging them both in one sentence

As I finished the sun began its descent behind the falls and the sight of the sun setting over the valley was gorgeous. I had not been here for a sunset since I was a small pup so this was a first in many many years for me.

"This is gorgeous" I said to myself enamored by the beauty that befell before me.

As the moon rose I started my transformation to werewolf form early to knock some of the edge off of it and with one large bound I dove into the warm waters just below the altar. As soon as I hit them I could feel any tension or frustration leave me from the week before, This was truly the good life at its best and we wouldn't have it any other way than things were right now

"Come on in everyone the water is fantastic!" I exclaimed with a mile wide grin. This was gonna be long but good night for everyone. Our spirits were high as the heavens themselves and no one was going to take that from us right now. For once all was truly right in our respective worlds and our minds were at full ease tonight. This was living.

I just then remembered something I heard Saint say when I was a pup about the clan and it could not be more truer than in moments like right now.

"This is one love, one unity for we are one

We'll suffer this together and endure

For the power of one is bulletproof"

after playing in the water for what seems like hours me Winter , Zema ,Balto, Kallisto, Jasmine and Saint finally settled down and relaxed.

Solaris POV:
At this point the moon was high in the sky and shining bright. Naturally as a wolf I decided to expel some raw energy and belted out a long melodic howl to its lunar glory. "Anyone care to join me?" I asked as I stopped to take a breath before I resumed singing

Winters POV: I decided to sing along with my brother I needed to relax any ways because tomorrow my work begins and there will be no time play.
