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

The day had finally arrived. I had been waiting for it since I was a pup and first heard the stories about the games. I

dressed in my training clothes and when I almost ran into Finlay and Sam outside our rooms, we all grinned.

“Time to go, boys,” I said, heading for the stairs.

“Hey, who are you calling a boy? I’ll let you know I have a daughter. I’m all grown up,” Sam objected, and both Finlay and

I laughed. We joined the others for breakfast and there was a nervous excitement in the air. We didn’t know what the day would bring, but it was finally here. Matilda was ready for everything. She had made an array of different snacks, ready to

eat meals and beverages. Everyone who wasn’t participating would be watching the games. They would all make sure her

“It’s not my strong point either, no pun intended,” I told him and managed to get a smile from him. “But we are a pack

Finlay laughed. Despite the nerves, we were all in a good mood. After breakfast, we all headed towards the gathering

point.

“Participants, please go into the stadium, spectators please go to the right and you will be guided to where you can watch the game,” an official was telling us. Our party split up and the five of us headed into the stadium. We went to our

designated seats again. There were considerably less wolves there today as only five from each pack had been allowed in. We sat down and waited for what would happen. Nine o’clock sharp, there was a sound coming from the speakers and

then the voice of the head of the council.

“Good morning. Today marks the first game. It will be performed in seclusion. This means we have prepared four

identical areas. Each pack will do the game without any other packs present or able to see what is happening. You will not

be told what the game is until you arrive at it. You will have ten minutes to plan and twenty minutes to complete it. There will be equipment provided. You may choose to use all, some or none of it. All packs will have the same equipment
