My Atypical Wolf

"Everyone who has gathered here today, I welcome you as the current Alpha of this pack on the behalf of everyone who is a member of Crescentile Pack." Mr Wrisberg began. "I was given this opportunity thirty six years ago, a year after I married Rachel. It's been an honor for both of us to serve this pack ever since. But it is time for us to take a step down and to let the next generation take on the title." Mr Wirsberg smiled at the crowd.

"Christian, come on the stage." Mr. Wrisberg called his son. As soon as Christian was there, he continued. "I, Arthur Silas Wrisberg, would like to pass the title of the Head Alpha of the Crescentile Pack to my firstborn Christian Hardine Wrisberg." he declared. 

In the Crown, Ashton linked his mate and asked, [His middle name is Hardine? What's yours?] 

[Lucian] Caleb informed him.

Mr. Wrisberg, who held a ring on his right middle finger, pulled it off and handed it to Christian. The ring had no extra powers, and was merely a symbolic gesture of the title of the Head Alpha of this pack. As Christian took it, the ring adjusted itself to the size of Christian's ring and thereby the ring became his. 

Usually, after this a similar ceremony was done to pass down the title of Luna. Since Christian was unmated, Mr Wrisberg took it upon himself to announce that this won't follow this time, but before he could his son linked him, [Dad, Sebastian and I had a discussion. He is going to be the Luna.] Christian informed his father.

Mr. Wrisberg, who was quite concerned by the sudden development, gave it a thought. While he was skeptical of the relationship between his son and the said wolf, Mr. Wrisberg knew that Sebastian was an excellent choice for the Luna. His skillset is what prompted him to join his pack. Recalling the same event. [Are you sure about this son? If I announce that, he won't be able to abandon this title ever.]

Christian looked at Sebastian in the crowd, who simply smiled at Christian and nodded as if he had been in the link this entire time. (He wasn't, but he could tell what Christian was trying to ask. And seeing him up there, Sebastian realised that there is nothing more he would love to be there right next to Christian.

"Well, as planned earlier, I was going for the hall of fame, but there had been an interesting development." Mr. Wrisberg declared. "I would like to call Sebastian Kyles on the stage," he declared.

Sebastian, taking a deep breath, headed out to the stage. As an actor he was over the stage of stage fright, but somehow he was more nervous than he had ever been on stage. His heartbeat elevated as he stood right next to Christian and stared at the entire crowd of people he too will be responsible for. It was hard not to be anxious about it.

A hand slipped in his hand which prompted Sebastian to look at his right. He saw Christian looking at him and smiled and in that instant, all his worries melted away. Sebastian wouldn't have to do this alone. And if Christian was strong enough to take on these responsibilities, he can be as well. Sebastian smiled back at him.

"I would like to pass the mic to my beloved wife, Rachel." and with that, Mr. Wrisberg stepped down. As Mrs. Wrisberg took her position, she mumbled, "As a mother, I will always hold firm on the belief that no one will ever be good enough for my sons." She declared with a smirk as she also stole a quick glance at Ashton causing Ashton to panic. Caleb followed his brother's suit and held his mate's hand as well. 

"But as the Luna, I can say for sure that Sebastian will be the perfect candidate for the position of Luna. I have known this man for over a decade, and if there is one thing I know about him is that he is very passionate. And I know that he will serve this pack with equal passion." She declared. She took out her silver ring and handed it to Sebastian. As was with Alpha ring, this ring too adjusted itself to Sebastian's size.

"Before we move on to the oath taking ceremony, we would like to hand their pictures to the hall of fame." Mrs Wrisberg declared and with that Caleb rose up from the seat. He went backstage and soon the curtain covering the hall opened revealing the portraits of all the alphas and lunas that had been before them. The portraits moved to make space for a new one. 

Caleb appeared on the stage with two portraits on both of his hands that he handed to both his parents. Mr. Wirsberg hung the picture of Chrstian on the Left, while Mrs Wrisberg put the picture of Sebastian right next to it on the right. The lights around the picture turned into a bright multicolor display, pertaining to the current ceremony.

This time, it was both Christian and Sebastian who took the mic. Christian was the one who took the chance first, "I, Christian Hardine Wrisberg, the current alpha of the Crescentile Pack, promise to serve and protect this pack with every cell of my existence till I hold this title…" he looked at Sebastian and strengthened his grip. "Along with my mate, Sebastian."

Sebastian gave Christian a faint smile before declaring, "I, Sebastian Mason Kyles, the current Luna of this pack,  promise to serve and protect this pack with every cell of my existence till I hold this title along with my mate, Christian." And with that, both of them shifted into their werewolf forms.

The entire pack came out of their seats in the giant aisle (that was created giant on purpose) and shifted as well. Christian and Sebastian initiated a howl, which was joined in by everyone.. Thus, the leadership of Christian and Sebastian was sealed in the pack with the howl marking the official end of the ceremony.
