The moon light shines bright in the cool night sky. I stand in the center of the clearing encased in a circle made by the rest of the pack. Each of us illuminated by the gleams of the moonlight as the stars shimmer bright above us. My father and Ethan step forward from the circle to approach me. I kneel down on the ground as I bow my head in respect.
“Do you, Davina, promise to be the best Luna you can be? Will you put your pack before everything else and always put their safety first? Will you care about the pack as they are your own family? Will you risk everything to protect them including risking your own life. If so, then please respond with I do.”
My father's words echo throughout the air of the clearing. I look up at my father’s face to see him smile.
“I do,” I respond.
He gestures for me to rise and get up.
