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

We all dressed up for the closing ceremony. The top six ranking packs were to sit with the Council on the stage. I had on

my rust-red dress and for the first time in a while I felt self conscious.

“You look amazing,” Finlay told me for the hundredth time as we walked towards the stadium.

“I should be wearing white and gold,” I told him, as I had done all the other times he had complimented me.

“You don’t have white and gold clothes,” he pointed out. He knew this as he had asked me.

“Of course I don’t have white and gold clothes. Only lunas wear that combination.”

“Right. So you look stunning,” he insisted. He was right, I couldn’t wear what I didn’t own. But I still would have preferred

the traditional colours. We arrived at the stadium but instead of going to our usual seats, we were shown to the stage. A

long row of chairs had been arranged in a half circle on stage, a table with chairs stood in the middle of the half circle. We were placed on specific chairs, all facing the crowd. When my old pack walked up on the stage, Finlay moved his chair

closer to me and put his arm around my shoulder. Sam moved his chair closer to me on my other side. I saw my brother

and Becky and smiled at them. Some of the other pack members smiled and nodded at me as well. James looked like he

hadn’t slept in days and stared at me with a mix of anger and sadness. I saw his eyes dart to my mating mark and more

anger replaced some of the sadness in his eyes. Cindy was clinging to his arm, trying to make it look as if they were a

couple, and failing. I felt relieved when they sat down without an altercation. When everyone was sitting down, the

council walked out onto the stage and took their seats at the table in the middle. The head walked to the front of the

stage and started a speech. It was more interesting than the one at the start of the game. He did a recap of the games

and listed a number of interesting facts. During the game sixty two new matings had been made.

‘We are one of those,’ Finlay linked me. He lifted my hand, which he was holding, and placed a kiss on it. Next, highlights

from the games showed on big screens. It was a mix of impressive feats and funny moments. We got to see Finlay and

Sam pull Jake up. It was even more impressive looking at it from a distance.

‘I really should ask for a copy of that clip,’ I linked Finlay. He chuckled next to me. There was a clip of my wolf being
