New day, a fresh start, fresh energy, new opportunities this quote doesn't fit Xander.
Why?
It's a new day but the start isn't fresh, the opportunity is new but it can bring severe consequences.
So here he is in the middle of the field ready to fight anyone who is a threat to his goals.
Others might think that he is being selfish and self-centered bastard for showing his interest in power and position. He has already said that if someone is more capable of the title then he will give up wholehearted.
It's just that he wants to prove himself and keep his parents word. He knows that he isn't excellent and has many flaws that need to be improved. And he accepts and wants to refine himself.
As all the rules were already discussed and he has already defeated three people who were challenged him.
Suddenly he was ambushed by the wolf. Not only one by a group of wolves. It was defrauding the rules. However, Xander's ego didn't let him back out so he transforms into his wolf and started battling.
Another wolf interrupts in the middle causing lots of chaos. While fighting Alex (Xander's wolf) didn't do any permanent damage but was receiving multiple harms.
Alex's authoritative growls lead many of them to submit. They convert into their human form and become decent.
As all of the members were present in the ground field head Alpha and Luna who was the first creations were the one who was held in charge.
"This is the uttermost disrespectful behavior not only towards your Luna and Alpha who are inside the coffin but also the direct threat to the reputation of your pack." Alpha Head growls.
"The right which Xander held from his birth was endangered and when he is passing through the trauma which could only be imagined, every one of you was intensifying instead of helping him." Luna expresses her disappointment.
"Xander fights this battle following the rules and demonstrating his capabilities. Alpha prioritizes his pack members above everything and today in this battle he proves by not harming them though he was constantly being attacked." Beta Karl explains.
"I guess Xander is worthy."
"Yeah, he proved it today that he is Alpha Stephan and Luna Katya's son."
"Maybe we judge him wrong."
"We didn't even help him. He might be upset."
All these thoughts can be heard in the crowd and mind links.
"Today it's 6th day of massive loss so I the moon goddess first creation declare the Xander is the fair winner in this battle. Does anyone has a say in it?" His voice boomed in the crowd.
"Does anyone has an objection to giving the Selene pack Alpha title to Xander?"
No sound is produced.
I repeat "Any objection?"
"NO" the crowd howls.
"Today The new Alpha of Selene pack is declared. ALPHA XANDER" Everyone cheers up.
"Tomorrow we will formally tribute them and a funeral will be held. After two days coronation will be held."
Finally
Finally, it's the day of the funeral, I wasn't surprised that many people attend it on short notice. My parents were great but not with all of them. These people are here to see the former Alpha and Luna's son who has already created chaos in a week which most people creates throughout their life. They were showing their sympathy and making sad faces which didn't make difference.
I was in the same behavior that I have been in this past week. LOST. I don't know if I should cry about my loss? Should I feel the joy that I was able to save my parent's hard work by going against all those people who were supposed to support me? Or should I be happy that I change their opinion and make myself capable or should I be scared of all the responsibilities that will be thrown on my shoulder from now on?
I didn't even dare to look when the coffins were buried no I didn't cause last night I saw them in my dream I am more than happy to see them alive in my dream than seeing them deep buried inside the ground in reality.
Glasses have been my favorite item it hid my remorse but what about my heart? What should I do? I have thought of many things in my mind but in reality, I am failing. People were crying for me and being sad about my reality. I was waiting for my tears to fall but they didn't. At that moment I realized I realized I am alone from now on in this cruel world that snatched my parents. No tears no sympathy or prayers can bring my old life back.
NOW, I AM AN ORPHAN.
They gave speeches on how great my parents were, how they civilized and flourished the pack, how they help them, how they were an example of true leaders etc. They call my name for speech but I refuse. I don't want to share my memories. Why should I? Wasn't the sympathy and pity already overload that they want me to take more. I simply went on the stage and said " Thank you all for arriving at short notice. Hope you will be able to participate in the coronation. Enjoy your stay till then."
I went to the graveyard where my parents were buried. I found a small empty place between my parents and decided to put something for my little sister.
I buried the plushie my parents bought me when both of them were away for a pack meeting between the ground and covered with soil.
I was upset with them for buying that girlish toy because after 1 month I was going to be 16 and they bought me something like that.
At that time they had told me to give this to someone special who is going to come. Now I understood that they were talking about you. So today I am giving this to my little sister who was lucky enough to stay with mom and dad, fortunate to not step into this cruel world.
I pick a stone from the ground craved a name for my sister by my paw and buried it like a tombstone.
