Finally after finishing the packing the small bag with a change of clothes, and other important things, I dragged my self down the stairs and dropped my bag in the kitchen. Sitting at the table I watched my mother cook, she was distracting her self. She knew as much as I did that if I got chosen I left to my chosen's pack, I would no longer live with my mother. But God help me I was going to do everything in my power to make sure I wouldn't become some sexes males mate. I would return home in two days and hug my mother hello. As I watched her she turned to me, and the tears started rolling down her face.

"My baby," she cried out as she came over to me hugging me in her embrace, "you're my baby you can't be taken from me." She whispers into my hair, I was the youngest, her baby of course she didn't want me to go, and I didn't want to go just as much. My mother knew my feelings of the choosing ceremony, and the sexist males, she knew if if didn't have to partake in this I wouldn't, but I was still her baby, her little girl.

"Mother I'll be back in two days, don't fret about it." I spoke as she placed a kiss at the top of my head.

"Shh." She shushed me, "don't jinx it, I want you to return home, your not ready for the world baby." She spoke, and I pulled away to send a playful glare up at her.

"You mean to say that the world is not ready for me, mother." I playfully corrected her, my mother just smiled down at me, eyes shining with her unshed tears. She turned back to what she was doing before she smothered me in her motherly affection, and continued her work.

After supper I returned to my room, getting dressed and laying in bed. Looking around my room I wondered if anything would change while I was gone, laughing to my self I turn over shutting my eyes. Nothing would change, I would only be gone two days.

Some she-wolves worried me, as I sat on the bus with a seat to my self I could her the gossip and the rumour mill going at high speeds. I could hear the normal chatter among the females awe traveled, then a conversation perked my ears, I could hear the high pitched voice from a mile away. She was talking about her self to these other girls, she wasn't from my pack I didn't recognize her.

"But don't worry I'm sure I'll remember you lovely ladies once I become queen." She sighed as she spoke, the girls surrounding her smiled a hopeful smile, but they soon faded as another voice spoke through the bus.

"And what makes you so sure the king will choose you let alone anyone, he never chooses you should know that." To my right a girl spoke up, turning to look at her I find she's turned around facing towards the back where the other girl was speaking to the girls.

"And just who are you to question that! I will be your future queen show some respect." The girl scoffed, crossing her arms as she glared down the she wolf across from me.

"My name is Ara, and I'm the one that's telling you to stand down, we all know that your just another she-wolf hell bent on pushing out your breast and waiting for the king to notice, how many of you's there are around him I doubt he'll even notice you." Ara spat out at the pissed off she wolf, I watched with a slight smirk on my face I quite like Ara she seems like someone I'd get along with.

"Well Ara I don't have to fight to be noticed by the king when I already have been," she states staring daggers up at Ara, "I've been with the king already and when I enter the choosing ceremony this year, he will chose me to lead next to him, as Luna queen." She smirked, as if thinking she proved a point but by the look on Ara's face she just sounded even more desperate.

"Okay so you had sex with him, not like you're the only one." Ara laughed out, watching as the she wolf got even more so provoked.

"It wasn't just sex!"

"Oh yes I'm sure that's what all the others think as well!" Ara laughed even louder, this time I placed my hand gently over my mouth to hide my smile.

"You will see! He'll choose me and then I'll be crowned queen!" She squealed and Ara just shook her head and let out a low laugh.

"Yeah okay whatever you say." Ara spoke back before turning around once again and sending a wink my way. I liked her attitude, turning to my direction she spoke out again but quieter, "I'm guessing your on my side with that." She smiled. Nodding my head I smiled back at her and looked forward once again.

Suddenly movement in my seat caught my attention and Turning to look I find Ara staring at me with a smile, sitting right beside me, "I didn't catch your name, as you must of heard me I'm Ara." She laughed.

"Ella, I'm Ella." I smiled at her and she quirked a brow in my direction.

" so I take it you don't like those types either," Ara said as she jerked her thumb towards the back, were the other she wolf sat, we could still hear her going on about how she will become queen.

"Yeah I'm not fond of them, nor am I fond of the mating ceremony." I spoke lightly as I rolled my eyes, I could see Ara's face brightening up at this.
