Turned Rogue (Prev: IBLYWC)

Chapter 6 (Part 2)[Edited]

I knew that I had to be strong for this pack and for my Alpha, and I only hoped that I didn't fail. 

Today was the day in which everything about my rank, my abilities, and my character would change.

Hopefully for the better.

As I exited my room and descended the stairs to the house I found my beast to be restless and my palms became slick with sweat.

I wiped my hands on my clothing before continuing the walk to the pack house where already people were gathering for the ceremony.

"There she is, Danielle Rover, the Imperiae Tenbri." The Alpha spoke as he gestured for me to join him at the top of the hill.

"It is my greatest honor to present to you my fellow lycans, our newest addition to the pack, Danielle Rover."

The crowd howled as they acknowledged my presence and as I stepped in place next to the Alpha I felt an overwhelming surge of energy.

I joined my pack in their howl, sealing our bond and taking my place in the command line.

Alpha Jason smiled as he gestured towards his command line,

"Danielle will be our running commander, she has not only proven herself worthy time and time again, I have taken your words into consideration and made them into a reality. Thank you to everyone who came forward and voiced their opinion."

He nodded towards the rest of the crowd and they all replied with a victorious cry, arms in air, and a harmonious cheer. They all darted for the trees shifting as they entered the forested area.

They carried each other's voices throughout the meadow and circled the grounds of the pack, and as the command line stood in place, I felt pride and courage pumping within my heart.

Suddenly it became hard to breathe and my chest became tight, my fingertips stung and my jaw throbbed as my canines desperately tried to elongate. A lump formed in my throat and I was brought down to my knees, almost immediately the Alpha and Hannibel were at my side.

"Fight your beast Danielle, now is not the time."

I whipped my head to the left and faced Hannibel, his eyes widening as he took a step back from me.

I shook my head, snorting and huffing as my nostrils tried to become my snout, and my fingers continued to extend and retract.

Soon I let out a shout as my shoulder popped out of place and my arm became that of my beast, I felt my eyes watering and as I let my wrist catch the tears I found that they were blood.

"Hannibel!" I cried as I felt my throat closing, muffling my speech.

My back made a sickening crack and my spine lengthened, I soon felt my clothes tearing and falling to the ground around me.

I let out a powerful growl before my transformation was complete and I found that my wolf had changed significantly since the last time I'd shifted.

Despite my sore body, I stood and watched as the pack members returned from their initiation run and surveyed my beast.

I looked down upon the people I was to be guiding shortly and as most of them held fear in their eyes, I saw a hint of trust and respect. Two Lycans laid their paws down, and then their heads, followed by two more and then so on and so forth.

Soon, the pack bowed to me in respect and I felt my heart soar, I tilted my head back and led the pack in a howl, as they joined me I watched my Alpha shift and take his place beside me and his sons.
