King Novel 15

Chapter 15

The red moon. Crimson. Similar to the blood that will be shared in a Pack acceptance ceremony

Legends has it that the Moon Goddess has one birthed a King who will rule the entire werewolf kingdom-the one wh be the eyes and mind of the Goddess herself whilst seated on the throne she has provided him, that was the legends.

However, along the way, upon falling in love with a mortal lie was not destined or mated with, the King the Goddess has looked up to has become corrupted.

Devoid of any wisdom she has bestowed and therefore has taken a different turn to the golden path the Moon Goddess had

in mind.

"It has turned red!"

"The myth was true!"

"The Goddess does not accept!"

The Omega's pleas and murmurs didn't go unnoticed as they swallow the entire training field with shock and some having mixed reactions. In the myth, the Goddess, or should we call her Selene, decided to express her anger to the people by having the Moon turn as crimson as the blood the King and his bride will share on their wedding night.

You could say it's eerily similar to Mother-in-Laws who aren't in favor of the simple commoner their beloved son has chosen

This legend has become a basis in knowing whether or not a pack member will be accepted in a pack yet it has been rare to have happened, except tonight perhaps."

Thank Goodness that bastard Kallias isn't here to see this. He would have pleaded his father that the crimson moon is enough reason to kick Enoch out of the pack

The metal clinks on the ground as my sweaty palms slowly give up on holding onto it in shock. The Goddess is rejecting Enoch joining the Riverstone Pack.

I swallow the lump in my throat, looking at those innocent emerald eyes as they stare right back at me in question. He doesn't know what is happening-none of us do.

I turn to the Gamma who is still gaping at the large ball of the sky. What is he going to do? Is he going to kick Enoch from the pack now that the Goddess clearly wouldn't want to let him in?

"Taryn," I turned to the gravelly voice as Enoch walked over to me. I bite the insides of my cheeks. "Bad?" Enoch murmured. studying my features and for once, I nodded. "It is bad, yeah."

You might just have to leave now, big guy.

I exhaled the breath I didn't know I was holding before bending down to pick up the bowl of wine I dropped

Moments ago, Enoch had the privilege to drink this for a toast of having one new member of the Riverstone Pack, as did I years ago when my brother and I were adopted then.

But I guess not anymore.

I just have to have him take some money and maybe give him the entire clothing collection I bought Kallias last year for

some clothes.

He might survive if he somehow lands himself a decent job to earn a couple of pennies in the market down at the unclaimed lands, that is if that stalker we had encountered then didn't have his face blacklisted there.
