Chapter 87: Coming Of Age Ceremony [3]
The coming of age celebration had just begun, ten young girls who’d just turned eighteen on this day, dat under a beautifully decorated pavilion, watching the dancers flow elegantly with the music.
The air was thick with merriment and excitement as the girls chatted quietly among themselves, their brightly colored clothing and adornments a vibrant contrast to the more subdued tones of the elder women.
Suddenly, a hush fell over the gathering as the sound of drums echoed through the pavilion before stopping, as all tries turned to the direction where a group of women made a grand entrance.
Breath caught in their throats as the women, led by the village women, stepped aside to reveal Mirian and Kira, then Reana, their beloved Luna, standing tall and radiant in her stunning red velvet gown.
The assembly erupted into a collective gasp of wonder, as Mirian’s eyes sparkled with delight, her face aglow with happiness. The drums resumed their rhythmic beat, and the gathering surged forward, pulling her to a throne-like seat.
Reana didn’t know what was going on, why the people had turned 180° from how they treated them yesterday, but she had no problem with this sudden...friendliness, provided they didn’t plan evil against her and her pack members.
Talking of pack members, Reana glanced around, there were only women here, no men in sight. The realization made her slightly uncomfortable, and her eyes narrowed slightly as she scanned the crowd, her senses on high alert.
She wasn’t afraid that the women could harm the three of them, but was rather worried about Rider and the others locking heads with the Dark Snow Pack warriors. Her pack members may be powerful, but certainly not as good as the Dark Snow Pack members.
Those werewolves were diabolic.
