Chapter 36: _Descent Into Chaos
As soon as Elder Gita uttered those words, everyone in the hall observed decorum, focusing their attention on her.
There was just something about the spiritual leader that screamed power whenever she was in charge of an event.
Anyway, seeing the silence, the woman began with a cough. "A few nights ago, the Moon goddess made her decision on who the Luna of Blue Moon pack is going to be. And tonight is all about acknowledging the girl who the moon has chosen for our pack’s Alpha."
For an odd reason, the hall became tense as I suddenly felt like most eyes were now fixed on Phoebe who was trying hard not to sink into her chair.
Hehe... This was going to be a long night indeed.
"Now, tonight isn’t a night for long introductions or anything of the sort, so let’s get right to the drinking of the ceremonial wine." Elder Gita proclaimed with a loud voice.
Oh, finally, some wine.
Everyone around the hall got on their feet, the atmosphere becoming somber as a bowl of red blood-like wine was passed around while everyone was given glasses.
The drinking of the ceremonial wine was a sacred part of the Luna Ball passed down for generations, but there was still something about drinking from that bowl that I found unnerving.
The wine got to Phoebe and me last, and we proceeded to await Elder Gita’s next words.
"Could the Blue Moon pack’s Moon Chosen please step forward?" She asked with a domineering voice.
