Godric paced around the house restlessly. The first full of the year was that night and it was tradition that the weres of the Borean Steppes, no matter what disputes may be going on (territory disputes were common and intense though not often violent) everyone set aside their differences for a day of celebration. The meadows that comprised the festival grounds were neutral territory belonging to no one though packs did border them. Godric's pack was one of them. They held a tiny village no more than fifty families about a ten minute walk from the grounds so while others had been camping out there for a couple of days, the Lycs pack had been busy feeding and supplying the visitors. The celebrations were always an economic boon for the pack, one they looked forward to every year.
"All right, we're ready." Godric's father Wulfric walked into the front room and even though the front room was bigger than most in the village (the alphas held the largest house as was their right) the room seemed smaller with Wulfric in it. He was technically no longer the alpha, having abdicated to his eldest son, Aedric, last year, Wulfric was still on the Council of Elders for their pack and his word still carried a lot of weight.
"About time," Godric muttered already at the door and out of it by the time his sister, her boy-pup, her mate (Aedric's beta), Aedric and his mate (heavy with twins), were even able to stand.
Aedric laughed and Wulfric and Alana, his mate and their mother, looked at each other with odd expressions. Godric barely heeded them, leading the way to the grounds. He felt itchy inside like if he didn't move, he would go mad with trying to stay still. His fate was out here somewhere, he just knew it. How or why he knew it, he didn't know and didn't care. But something was going to happen tonight and he wanted to be there when it did.
