Love Thy Shadow, Satan (LTSS) [#Wattys2018]

Chapter 33 - The Shadow, Alpha Faith White

Faith's POV

A Messenger Wolf was asked for immediate attendance to my Crowning, the next morning - to deliver all governmental details to the King. We were lucky that he had journeyed quite close to our grounds, visiting a neighbouring pack, we were able to convince him to visit Blood Moon.

And so the ceremony started, at 8am. The morning after my pups abduction.

"We are all gathered her today, to witness the bearing of the Alpha title of the daughter of the Beast, Alpha Josiah White, as the 1st Alpha of Blood Moon."

To be the first, or to choose to be the last, Alpha of a pack was seen as a great honour. Since Daddy had chosen to be the last Alpha of Moonlight - before merging it with BloodLust.

"The title I have chosen, to call my own, is... The Shadow."

"As per ritual, will you please elaborate a little on the reasoning behind why you believe this name best suits you." The Messenger Wolf for The Wolf King spoke his practiced words.

It's time. Maya said, taking control for her part in this ritual. She took off our blindfold, but kept our eyes closed. We did not want to open our eyes just yet - not until it was needed.

We must start now.

Maya's POV

I inhaled, and exhaled... Then started the speech that would solidify my title, as Alpha of the Blood Moon pack.

"The Shadow is a figuration of Black
Yet, The Shadow is a silent friend.
I am The Shadow
And you'll remember me til the end.

The Shadow doesn't disappear
it's always there, stuck with you
Waiting with you in the darkness
I'm always there, watching you

Even if you can't see me
You can't ignore my existence
We become each other's being
I am you, as you are me - living substance

I live as you do and die just the same
I develop with you - never better
I plan to stick with you through life and death
And whatever comes after. I pester.

The Shadow is a figuration of Black
Yet, The Shadow is a silent friend.
I am The Shadow
And you'll remember me til the end.

I have developed, in a sense
During my time away
Became monstrous with time
Cast my naivety away

I've learnt life can change
It's colour as well as shade,
Dramatically and without warning
You have to change to accommodate

Accommodate the darkness
Make it your friend
So when push comes to shove
It won't lead to your end.

The Shadow is a figuration of Black
Yet, The Shadow is a silent friend.
I am The Shadow
And you'll remember me til the end.

Don't ever forget, heed my warning
Karma is a bitch, but she'll do me justice
What you've done to me
She'll do ten times worse to you

Not by herself, she'll give me the power
To do as I please to you
Hurt you. Torture you. Kill you.
She won't stop me. And I plan to ruin you.
