"Betas repeat after me," She starts "I as a beta, pledge my loyalty to my alpha Nadiana."
"I as a beta, pledge my loyalty to my alpha Nadiana." They all repeat in unison.
"I'll respect, understand and always put my alpha first," I watch as they all parrot Zelda's words "my price is death if I leave my pack by choice and become an omega." I know what she by that, Tomas is some what lucky to have survived being an omega for so long.
Most lone wolves get picked apart by bigger packs and don't make it more than a year alone, I don't know how Tomas did it. But then again his alpha was killed. "Alpha," Zelda gets my attention "your turn." She says and I nod.
"I as alpha, take responsibility for my betas." I repeat after her "I'll understand, respect and always be there for them. My price is death if ever I abandon my betas by choice."
"By the power of the full moon and black magic, you are now a pack." She announces and I turn to my dad with the biggest smile, I go to him and warp my arms around his neck into a tight hug. "I'm proud of you honey." He tell me then his eyes shift behind me.
"Go run your pack." He tells me and I nod going back to Tomas and my sisters. "How is everyone feeling?" I ask scanning each face.
"Good!" Tili shrieks and I look down at my now healed hands but they're stained with dry blood.
"Let's go." I tell them and head into the forest, I set off running with my three betas beside me and I start to speed up letting Nia come out. It doesn't take long for us to shift tearing our clothes with our new form, I growl at the painful shift then start to stretch into Nia's body.
I look down at my still white paws and I'm pretty grateful that my fur didn't change, I trod over to Bailey who now getting the hang of shifting and then we start to take off reassuming the game of tag we were playing back home.
We decide to split up into two teams so we don't get divided and I make Tomas go with one of my sister just in case they become defenceless. I did all that with growling and head gestures.
We do mange to play a really extended game of tag only occasionally running into other wolves and packs but never actually interacting with them.
"Nadia!" A high pitch yell wakes me up, omg school! I quickly rush into my bathroom and do my routine as fast as I can, this is why I hate full moons on a school day. I'm always fucking late!
"I'm your alpha, we can't both-"
"I'm my own alpha." I cut him off which ends up doing something to him, his eyes go from ocean blue to black and they take quite a while to go back to blue. I start to pack my things away putting each into its right place, I can't lose anything at school.
I close my bag and my eyes shift to Saints who just watching me "I'm sorry." My eyes widen at his words and I try compose myself.
"For what?" I move my bag into the skin and sit on the counter.
"For making you feel like you weren't the first option." He says surprising me. "I'll drop her, for you."
"Aren't you suppose to be getting her a necklace?" I questions and I watch him process what I just said I shake my head while rolling my eyes at his silence. "I don't want your apology Malic."
