Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

Chapter 18-1

The next day felt like all I did was to wall for the bloodening ceremony to begin. It would take place after dinner, so I had the whole day to pass. I spent most of it unpacking and then walking around the village and the surrounding area. I was walking along the creek when I heard footsteps and scented Medow, I stopped walking and waited for her to catch up.

“You are one hard cookie to find. I had to track you down with my suffer,” she said as she saw me, I smiled.

“Sorry. Trying to get to know the area,” I explained..

“I get it. It’s a beautiful pack land, we were lucky to get it,” she said

“Were you with the pack when it split from the Ocean Shore pack?” asked her.

“No, that was before I met Sam. After they split from their old pack, he group temporarily got shelter with the Coyote Hill pack. My old pack were allies with that pack and we assisted with additional tents and supplies. That’s how I met Sam,” she told me.

“And you chose to go to his pack even though they didn’t have a home?”

“Well, yes. In my old pack I was just an ordinary pack member. I liked it there and I had my family there. But Finlay and the pack needed Sam. He was their Gamma and there had already been so many changes for them that I knew they didn’t need to lose their Gamma as well. So it wasn’t a hard decision to make. And then Finlay found this land and I have never been happier.”

It is beautiful here,” I agreed. “So why did you look for me?”

“It’s almost time to get ready for the ceremony. It’s best to do it before dinner as we head over to the clearing right after,” she said. *I was hoping we could get ready together.” Her voice sounded more uncertain. “It’s not that I don’t have any friends here. I do. Everyone has been amazing. But I’m part of the top tier of the packt creates a distance to the rest of the pack. And since neither Martin or Finley has found their mates, it’s a bit lonely being the only female, except for Matilda, on the top.”

“I get it,” I told her. “That’s one of the reasons my brother and I grew so close to the Alpha and Gamma children in my old pack. It’s nice to have friends that know what responsibilities you live with,” I said. “And I would love to get ready with you.” She smiled at me and we hooked arms and walked back to the pack house. Along the way Medow pointed out some of her favourite spots and as we were almost at the pack house, she pointed out her and Sam’s house. It was a nice two story house a bit away from the pack house. “My place or your?” I asked her.

“I have already put my things outside your room,” Medow said. “What are you go

going to wear?” she asked as we got into my room and she started unpacking her small bag.

“I was hoping I could get away with something simple? I really haven’t had the occasion to dress up in the last few years.” I told her, she frowned at me.

“It’s your bloodening ceremony. It should be special. I would lend you something. But you’re as tall as a freaking tree. All my dresses would look ridiculous on you. Can I have a look in your close ?” she asked.
