The Alpha Prince And His Silver Lone Wolf

[11:59 pm]

Prince Alcyd instructed everyone to proceed to his lake house for the 'Lighting of Lantern' program of their festivity.

Each townsfolk and member of the Golden Moon Pack arrive one by one to the location of the lake house for the 'Lighting of Lantern' program as part of their festivity.

By the edge of the shore of the lake, there are colorful lanterns with attached lighter that will be used to light each lantern.

"Everyone! I want all of you to grab a lantern and start lighting it. But do not let it go yet. Because all of you will make a one wish first upon lighting and all of you must wait for my signal before letting go." The Alpha Prince of the Golden Moon Pack instructed everyone loudly.

Beside him was Selene who was holding her own lantern.

"Why don't you get a lantern?" Selene asked Prince Alcyd and she continued, "Are you not gonna wish for something?"

Her handsome mate just smile and answered her question, "There is nothing else to ask for. I have everything I need in front of me. I am already looking at my present and future."

'Damn it! We got so lucky. Kiss him again!' Sylvia, the spirit wolf of Selene, appeared once again and became rowdy in her demands to Selene.

'Shut it! Stop distracting me. You are so out of control. Will you calm it down?' Selene requested to her spirit wolf.

She shoved her spirit wolf deep within her mind. 

And she looked at Prince Alcyd trying to pretend that she is not affected by his words.

But deep inside, she was truly moved and a fluttering feeling was taking over Selene's emotions.

"Ahem! You still need to wish because there are things in life that you have no control of. So, it is only right that you keep asking our creator for anything because if you do not ask anything, you may lose what you have now." Selene explained to Prince Alcyd the importance of prayers and wishes despite self-contentment.

"I dare him to take away what I have! I will scour the heavens and the earth to bring you back to my side. Nothing in this world will make me lose you." Prince Alcyd confidently said to Selene his own thoughts.

"Alcyd! Do not be like that, it is not good to challenge our creator. There will always be a time that we may never be together." 

A sudden change on Prince Alcyd's mood after Selene mentioned about a time that they maybe apart.

"What do you mean that we may never be together?" a question that Prince Alcyd asked which demanded for Selene to clarify.

"Of course, there is death and we may be werewolves. But our life is destined to end at some point. So you better be ready that someday there will be one of us will leave this world of the living. Even the previous late GREAT ODIN himself passed away despite being the most powerful being in this world." Selene clarified to Prince Alcyd.

"Why do you have to bring up death and not being together? You are trying to ruin this moment," said by Prince Alcyd as he tried to hold Selene closer to him.

Because of it, Selene dropped the lantern as he try to kiss her.

'Ahem! Ahem! Hey, two love birds! You have not announced everything yet and here you are publicly displaying your affection. Can we finish this event first?' Garrett reminded his best friend through the mind-link.

Those who were nearby Prince Alcyd and Selene may have seen the two become affectionate towards each other but they were more focused in their own stuff than be concerned with how the two were acting towards each other.

'Why don't you mind your own business? Just focus on Athena and not me.' Prince Alcyd's retort from his best friend's concern.

"Can we just start wishing? I will let you share my lantern. So I am forcing you to make your own wish." Selene gave orders to the Alpha Prince which he responded with a smile.

The stubborn Alpha Prince watched Selene close her eyes before he closed his eyes too.

For a moment, everything became silent …

Under the bright moon,

There were lights of lantern all over the shore of the lake …

A solemn silence from everyone …

Making their own wish …

Others shared one lantern … A family … Lovers … Group of friends like the orphan children … Siblings … And individuals …

This was a meaningful night filled with solace and hope.

After making a wish,

"Now! Everyone prepare your lanterns, in my signal … Once I said -Golden- then everyone must let go of their respective lantern." Prince Alcyd instructed everyone.

…

In few seconds,

"Golden!" exclaimed loudly by the Alpha Prince of the Golden Moon Pack.

One by one, lanterns floated in the air.

With the soothing breeze of the wind, it directed each lantern to float higher.

It was a night to remember.

Such spectacular sight to behold.

…

…

Selene hugged Prince Alcyd and rested her head to his chest.

"What did you wish for?" Prince Alcyd casually asked Selene.

Immediately she responded, "I will leave you if I tell you …"

A hint of teasing in her voice as she smiled at her mate.

"Nah, you won't leave me. I am already too deeply engraved in your heart." Confidently expressed by Prince Alcyd.

"Ah, Excuse me!" Selene hit Prince Alcyd's chest.

The Alpha Prince trying to block Selene's hands, "Isn't it true?"

Only silence and glares from Selene was her reply from Prince Alcyd's words.

"Fine! Fine! I will stop teasing you… I forgot how short-tempered you can be! But do you want to know what my wish was?" Prince Alcyd gave up teasing his platinum-haired mate.

"Okay, what was your wish?"

"You know, you are unfair sometimes! You want to know mine but you won't tell yours."

"For your information, our difference is … you are voluntarily offering!"

Prince Alcyd smiled at the sight of his fuming mate.

"My wish was … to be with you 'til eternity! You … and I … Forever!" Prince Alcyd confessed as he gently touched Selene's face.

Selene smiled and held Prince Alcyd's warm hands.

"Let's wrap up this event already …" Selene reminded Prince Alcyd.

… 

Once again, Prince Alcyd started to get the attention of everyone.

"I want the attention of everyone!" Prince Alcyd communicated all members of the Golden Moon Pack through,

<<<_ Ultimate Mind-Link _>>>

An ability which allows the Alpha to mind-link in a collective number.

"As announced earlier that there will be an announcement so let me present to you all, Selene." 

Selene stepped forward and cleared her throat,

"Everyone …"

====================

*** Few minutes rewind from Selene's announcement ***

[12:10 am]

Scarlett excitedly was holding her own lantern,

After making her own wish … 'Please, oh our dear creator! Please grant me the best partner and love of my life … I want to have my own family that I can call mine … Please, I humbly ask of you …'

Solemnly prayed and wished by Scarlett.

Unknown to her friends, the 18th birthday of Scarlett has begun.

From a distance was their Alpha Prince giving instructions,

"Now! Everyone prepare your lanterns, in my signal … Once I said -Golden- then everyone must let go of their respective lantern." Prince Alcyd instructed everyone.

…

In few seconds,

"Golden!" exclaimed loudly by the Alpha Prince of the Golden Moon Pack.

Scarlett let go of her own lantern.

For few minutes, after looking at the spectacular and breathtaking sight of lanterns floating higher with the glimmer of the bright moon …

An intoxicating scent invaded Scarlett's senses. 

When she looked around, everything went into slow-motion and stopped for Scarlett.

The man destined for her is just few meters away from her …

"Caleb!" uttered by Scarlett.
