"She's shifting." The Demon Princess answered as she walked closer to Amaris.
Amaris screamed from pain when she felt like something was coming out from her back. It was forcing itself to come out as if it had been caged for a long time. She could also feel that something was growing inside her.
"Aunt! Help me!" She begged.
Athanasia held her shoulders and stared into Amaris' eyes.
"You have to endure it! Are you that weak, Amaris?" Her aunt asked.
She shook her head to answer her aunt's question.
"Did you know you are using your real name? Amaris, meaning child of the moon. You are the daughter of the moon goddess and the demon prince. Make your parents proud!" Athanasia said in a firm tone.
Amaris' confidence suddenly grew when she heard what her aunt had just told her. She looked at the moon again; it was indeed a blue moon.
She turned her gaze to Zion, then to the members of the blue moon pack. They were looking at her, observing her. Then looked back to her aunt and nodded.
Athanasia released her and stepped backward. Everyone couldn't blink their eyes, waiting for their Luna to shift. Nobody knows what she would become after, but they wanted to witness what creature she was.
Amaris took a deep breath and focused. She read in the books that when a mythical creature is a shapeshifter, it will experience unbearable pain because all the bones in the body would break.
In her case, she only felt it at her back, and it didn't feel like her bone was breaking. She felt like a knife had sliced her open. Her father was a demon, one of the fallen.
They were called the fallen because they originally lived in Caelum but were cast out because they committed the seven deadly sins. But the fallen also have wings like the angels.
She wondered if she also had one. She focused on the pain from her back. She closed her eyes and mustered her strength, putting all of her energy on the part where she felt the pain.
Amaris suddenly felt like something was flowing through her veins. It was warm, moving faster inside her whole body.
Zion wanted to get closer to Amaris, but Athanasia said he should let her be. His Luna stood just a few steps away from him with her eyes shut. With so much anticipation, everyone's eyes widened, shocked when Amaris' back suddenly started glowing.
"Her back! It's glowing!" One woman from the crowd shouted.
As soon as her back glowed, Zion suddenly felt his bones break. It wasn't the first time it happened to him. Every time he shifted into his wolf form, he experienced pain a thousand times over.
But the last time he felt that pain was one hundred years ago. Is he shifting? Is this because of Amaris? He thought to himself.
He growled when he felt the continuous pain all over his body. Everyone started turning their eyes to their Alpha when they heard his growls.
Then they heard Amaris scream. A bright light from both the moon and Amaris body came out, making everyone close their eyes.
Amaris felt a huge black feathery flesh come out of her back. It was indeed a pair of wings. It was nearly as tall as her with its smaller feathers mixed together with the large ones, rounding the narrowed curve of its bottom end.
Her hair also changed its color. Half of it was black, and the other half was white.
When the light of the two moons vanished, they saw their Luna change into a winged creature while their Alpha shifted to his wolf form after one hundred years.
Amaris gasped when she saw Zion in wolf form. He was a white wolf with a pair of blue and red eyes. He was enchanting.
Zion proudly walked towards Amaris, snipping her. She stared into his eyes and felt his presence inside the wolf.
'Love. It is me.' He talked to her through the mind link.
'I know, love.' She answered.
'This is my wolf, Hunter.' He introduced.
Amaris didn't need to bend to reach Hunter. He was around forty-eight inches tall and seven feet long. She was sure he was the largest of their kind.
She started patting him on the head then moved to his face, feeling the softness of his fur. She smiled then leaned towards him, kissing his forehead.
Then Hunter turned to face the werewolves of the Blue Moon Pack. Amaris saw that some of them were wiping the sides of their eyes, including Zoila.
Hunter started howling. It was loud enough to be heard by everyone in their territory, but Hunter's howls were not just heard within their boundaries. The strength of his voice echoed in Aramoor City as if he was calling the attention of the other Alpha from different packs.
Amaris focused again to show her support as the Luna of the pack, and as her red eyes shone like blood, her wings started to rise. She extended her wings wider and slightly flapped them, making her float in the air.
Then one by one, the pack members shifted, following their Alpha's and Luna's call. Everyone celebrated by howling while running around their territory.
They lighted a massive fire in the middle of the sacred ground. The tables had been set, and food had been prepared to celebrate the union of their Alpha and Luna.
Back into their Terran form, the couple joined the pack. But in the middle of their celebration, Cole rushed into Zion's side and whispered something into his ear.
Then a group of people came forward and stood in front of the table where Zion and Amaris were seated.
"I am Mallec, Alpha of the Crimson Pack. I am here to bring news to you, Alpha Zion." One man said.
"Pleasure to meet you, Alpha Mallec. Go ahead, speak." Zion responded.
Alpha Mallec looked at Amaris, then turned his eyes again to Zion.
"The Elysian Elders wish to see the Alpha and the new Luna of the Blue Moon Pack."
