Return of the Lycans (part 1: The Lycan's)
The hunt

(Lana)

Damon stands on stage and demands the attention of the many people in the room. When there is complete silence, he speaks: "Today is a happy day. Not only can we crown a new King and Queen. But we will also see these two people get married. Step forward, Bart Wolfclaw and Nelly Moonshine.'

The two walk onto the stage hand in hand and wave to everyone. Nelly looks small in her long robe. Like us, they will do their mating before the marriage and the coronation ceremony. Bart had one tradition of his pack to uphold. He has to hunt Nelly until he replaces her and then he has to claim her. Nelly told me she was scared and a little excited. Her wolf says she will give his wolf a hard time before he can catch her.

Damon says, "Dear Bart and Nelly. Ready for the mating hunt."

Bart nods and looks at Nelly with a big grin. Nelly looks back with the same grin. "One last word from both of you," Damon asks. "Tonight you're mine," growls Bart. Nelly laughs loudly. "Then you'll have to catch me first."

Damon blows the whistle and Nelly shoots through the opening the guests made. She giggles as she exits the door. Bart keeps his eyes on the door and waits for the whistle. When he looks impatiently at Damon, the whistle is finally blown. Bart shoots through the path and when he is less than a minute out the door you hear a heavy howl of a wolf.

The hunt is on.
