WOLF CEREMONY

“I know, but I just want to see how it goes and meet my prince charming,” she dreamily said.

      “Ew. That will be so disgusting.” I frowned in disdain. “Meeting a lot of alphas feasting on their mate or a bunch of them on one person, all moaning and making stupid noises. They should ban us from that sort of ceremony; we are kids. You are still a kid; why will you be dreaming about meeting your mate at this age? We are supposed to be kids, not adults.”

“It doesn’t matter if a child encounters her mate in this day and age; don’t be such a killjoy. I want a mate, and it doesn’t matter to me if you want one or not.” Jessie laughed out loud at my words.

“That’s such a hassle, Jessie; you watch too many movies. That’s why you think life is full of roses when you meet your mate; trust me, you are going to hate your life for sure.’

“It’s not about watching too many movies; I want someone for me, just like my sister, to love,” she argued.

“Love is not everything.’ I remarked.

“Who told you those words, your brothers?’

I thought for a moment. “Nah, but I think it’s Gerard who told me I’m still not sure.’

“Gerard wouldn’t say such words; he believes in love, unlike you. Love is everything.’

“It’s not like I don’t believe in love; I do and my brothers taught me a lot about love being, everything, but to other people, nay.”

“I don’t care; I just want so much love from my mate, then we will dance at the night ball till twelve midnight and...”

I don’t even want to know anymore why she is so obsessed with getting a mate.

“Listen to me when I say you are still a child; just believe me.’ I rolled my eyes.

“And you as well,’ she countered. “I don’t know why you despise mates. It’s every werewolf’s biggest dream to get a mate to love and cherish them, but your mindset is something else. Well, I would love to get a mate today and get married to him today; I don’t care, as long as it fated us to be together.”

When I say my best friend is sick in the head, please believe me.

It’s of no use arguing with her at this point; it’s better to be quiet than to be sorry later on.

“That’s for you, but not for me.” I uttered it casually with a sigh and continued the manga I was reading.

      I love my peaceful moment.

I don’t want a mate, I just want to be with my peaceful family and avoid all these problems.

I’ve seen how mates suffer when their partners are jerks. I don’t want to be miserable and depressed, then die on my deathbed and burn to ashes because my mate declined to bond, making me suffer and refusing to be with me.

No, I’m not interested in it and besides, who would want to mate with a woofless Alpha like me? I was already a laughingstock. Maybe the moon goddess chose this path for me to suffer so I could have a peaceful life with no mate.

Alphas are assholes, and they stink a lot, except for my brothers, who smell so nice and lovely; they have the nicest pheromones in the world, and whenever I perceive them, it relaxes me.

I miss them, and I wish they would come home for this moon festival; it’s been so long since I’ve seen them.

      Two years.

“Come on, your mother should be searching for us; the elders are coming soon; let’s go downstairs.”

 ‘Go on without me; I’m coming, and I will be there before you know it." I casually promised and switched on to the next episode of my manga.

She ran out of the room.

She exhausted me as it was and didn’t want to leave my room.

I know what she was speaking about; the pack has gathered again to discuss some stupid stuff and talk about their boring lectures.

I’m not coming, anyway; it’s best I stay in my room. No one would even notice I wasn’t there, anyway.

“Oceana,” my mother called from downstairs; I could hear her footsteps coming upstairs.

Not now; why at this time of the day? Wasn’t she supposed to be at the ceremony leading the wolves as Luna of the clan? Why was she back so quickly?

“Oceana!” she shouted.

Could she quit yelling my name? It is embarrassing, and if I pretend to be asleep, I will be in deep trouble. If I pretend to be tired, she will snap at me and have suspicions concerning my reasons for being weary.

     What should I do?

“Oceana!” she yelled.

“Coming!” I yelled back.

“OCEANA!” she screamed at the top of her voice. My eardrums were hurting nonstop at this point.

     What a day!

“Mom, I’m coming.’ I quickly clicked on the green icon to close itself, but my stupid phone wasn’t clicking the way I wanted it to. What kind of day is this?

Finally, it clicked.

I quickly hid my phone under the bed after checking the time on when they will be posting the next episode of the manga, and I quickly ran out of my room and shut the door behind me.

My mom frowned with her hands on her slender waist upon seeing me. Hell is about to break loose, I guess.

“Oceana, what have you been doing inside your room since morning?” She asked solemnly.

    Here we go again. Should I be reminded of why she is my mother again?

“Arranging my bed,’ I answered casually.

“What?” she frowned.

My mother is the Luna of the clan, the queen of the five packs; she is a powerful wolf; her long hair is the same color as mine; her eyes were so blue; she had a little bit of acne on her face; a pointed nose; pale pink lips; she had a sort of oval expression; she was pretty attractive and stunning to the core.
