As was our habit, I had made a special demand for my tenth birthday from my parents. I wanted to visit the lycan king’s pack for a pups’ competition. I had met Kaida, one of the pups in Shadowmoon pack when I followed my mom to the capital a month before. She had challenged me to a duel during the Annual Pups Competition at the lycan king’s palace. That day happened to be my birthday and I wanted to prove to Kaida that our pack was not the weak pack they rumoured us to be. I wanted to represent our pack, win Kaida and make our Prime pack proud.
My dad had been a bit under the weather few days before my birthday, recovering from a recent pack attack. Mom had nursed him back to health and was even joking about it. So, I thought all was well and we could go for the competition. Gavin, my brother, supported me and we both persuaded our parents to give me the special birthday gift.
The day dawned bright and beautiful on the day of my tenth birthday. Aroma of sweet food woke me up from the bed. Mom, Dad and my dear brother Gavin, came to my room to serve me breakfast in bed, with a large cake, specially made for my birthday.
