The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

“I, Goddess Atvertha, as the Moon Goddess, now declare that starting today, the Agbazarth Tribe and the pack of wolves in Tatkhion have become one pack. One here means you are family because you can turn into a wolf during the full moon, especially during the month when the full moon occurs three times.” A silver-haired girl started the words. Meanwhile, the two immortal gods, who had entered into an agreement with Atvertha, began to read the spell without a sound to free all tribe members from the influence of the magic they had previously given.

“When you change form for the first time, the process will be excruciating. On the fourth full moon, you can change form at any time, but this will not be too easy because you have to get used to it.”

Slowly but surely, Armen and all the mortals could feel significant changes. They were already able to move, but the aura of mysticism and authority contained in the immortals standing in front had made the Agbazarth Tribe not dare to interrupt, let alone oppose the words of a young lady who had turned the curse of death into a pack of wolves.

“Mortals who can turn into wolves are also called werewolves, but because you have become one, there is only one leader called a Lycan. Why did you become one? So that if there is a problem with the original wolf pack, all members of the tribe can immediately be helped. The original wolf pack could also turn into humans, and that happened about three months after I appointed one mortal as a lycan king.”

A violet-eyed woman paused momentarily, then turned to the immortal husband and wife to fulfill her promise to them. “Before I continue further, I will inform you that I will be the third guardian goddess of this tribe. The main god and goddess remain Lord Athalamaya and Goddess Tathatea. You must still worship them because they have both been protectors of the Agbazarth Tribe from generation to generation hereditary. If something happens at night, then you can ask for my help.”

All eyes turned to the immortal husband and wife pair, and then, without anyone giving a command, all the mortals bowed down, which was started by Lebrazht Lugthna as the chief of the tribe. Lord Athalamaya smiled happily, as did Goddess Tathatea. They turned to the maiden, saying in immortal language, “Thank you, Goddess Atvertha.”

That wallflower goddess tried to smile, although the action failed. However, in exchange, Atvertha nodded. “You are welcome, Lord Athalamaya and Goddess Tathatea.”

Atvertha continued speaking, even though the mortals were still prone. “You must not abandon the gods and goddesses who have existed for a long time. Keep them forever. If you have any difficulties regarding dark magic or any spell that does not yet have a guide, you can contact me via your High Priest. I will inform you later how to connect with me.”

“The government system of the Agbazarth Tribe and the werewolf pack was changed to a small kingdom, even though the area is still limited. There can only be one king called Lycan, and he comes from the tribe chief, namely Lebrazht Lugthna.”

When he heard his name mentioned, the man, who had a height of one hundred and eighty-five centimeters, quickly gasped. Still, Atvertha could not yet see the expression of Armen’s biological father because he and all the mortals were still in a state of prostration. No mortal cursed to be the same as a pack of wolves dared to speak out because they feared the outstanding authority of the Moon Goddess. The atmosphere there was tense again, but not the same as when Lord Helion, Goddess Avtexia, and Toghnath appeared.

“Every king who rules will always be called the Lycan King. Those who have the right to replace the position of the Lycan King are only his legitimate descendants, whether male or female. A pack of real wolves that can turn into humans, especially those older than the king, will be called Elders. They also function as main advisors. Blue, who is Alpha, becomes Lebrazht’s deputy, or you can call Beta.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“For Lebrazht’s children, only Agtheo remains because Armen is my mate. He will marry and live with me. If Agtheo does not have a mate called Luna until he dies, then the position of Lycan King will automatically move to Blue. If Lebrazht already has advisors, then the Elders in the wolf pack are also included in it.” Atvertha remembered a young girl who approached her mortal man, and this incident made her upset, but no one knew how she felt.

Armen and Agtheo could not do anything, knowing that the immortal goddess had determined their fate. They were still in the same position, namely prostrating, because they saw that their father had not changed his pose. I am relieved because I can marry my girl, even though we had to overcome many obstacles, but how could we get married without Lord Helion’s blessing? Is that possible? Where will Atvertha and I live after we officially become husband and wife? I have to ask her later, thought the thirty-five-year-old man.

“As the Moon Goddess, I will help the Lycan Kings or what can be called Alphas if they are not married, to find a partner. I give a sign when a girl is destined to be together. If Alpha rejects my Luna candidate, then they will torture and could die. You have to be willing to accept Luna, even though the girl does not match your wishes.”

“You will be divided into several ranks: The Main Ranks are Elders and High Priests. The Elders are the king’s key advisors and are obliged to remind the Lycan King and his family if they have made a mistake. The Elders would say it to Lycan before a bad event happens. Apart from helping the Lycans lead ceremonies, a High Priest must carry out rituals or hold festivals that already exist in the Agbazarth Tribe.”

“The first rank is the Lycan King and his family. Prospective Lycans who are not yet married must be called Alpha. If the Lycan King does not have a child, even though he has been married for two years, I will allow him to have additional luna. Before that, Lycan must consult with the Elders, and if it is proven that Luna cannot get pregnant, then the Lycan must come to the High Priest to ask for my permission. For any Lycan who comes alone without this process, then I will not grant their request. The Lycan children, male or female, born from a marriage with Luna, are called Alphas and will change their title when they marry.”

“If Luna or Lycan’s legal wife can prove that Lycan’s accusations are lies, that Lycan even asked for an abortion or killed their child, then I will destroy Lycan and replace him with Beta. If Lycan cheats and has a mistress, he cannot replace Luna. “There can only be one Luna. There cannot be two unless the legal wife dies. A mistress will forever be called a concubine, and I will not approve of her being a luna.”

“A Lycan must be a good example, protect his people, and be able to lead the war. He can punish guilty people fairly. A Lycan must also teach his children all the rules, duties and responsibilities, so they have the same qualities as him.”

“The second rank is Beta. Beta is the representative of Lycan. Beta must come from the original wolf pack, namely Blue and his offspring. Just like Alpha, I will choose a mate for them too. If Lycan dies without any offspring, or the young Alpha dies without siblings, aka only children, then Beta and his entire family will be promoted to Alpha.”

“The third rank is Gamma. He is the third leader who will replace Beta’s position. This position is chosen from the wolf pack under the leadership of Blue. The fourth rank is Delta. They come from the Agbazarth Tribe. They are representatives of Gamma. The fifth rank is Omega, consisting of wolf packs and the Agbazarth Tribe. Those who do not have their own land, or do not have a permanent job, or work for someone else, will automatically enter the fifth rank.”

A sharp-nosed girl was silent for a few seconds as if she wanted to take a break from all the announcements she had made. Is there a part I forgot? What if I just ask and answer questions so that the mortals who have become one with the werewolf pack can understand? Yes, that is a brilliant idea, thought Atvertha.

“Are there any questions? If there are, say so before I return to the Underworld with Lord Havento and Hertinoz.” The virgin has opened up the opportunity for the Agbazarth Tribe to conduct questions and answers directly with her.

The chief raised his face and dared to raise his right hand. A woman with thin eyebrows saw what Norah Bitnantzh was doing. “Yes, Lebrazht? Is there something you want to ask?”

When they heard that name, the mortals slowly raised their faces and saw that the hook-nosed man was still in the same pose as them. “Pardon me, Goddess. If I listen to your explanation, Agtheo is the Alpha, the future Lycan King. How do we know if he will get a wife or a luna? When we were still mortal, parents usually matched their children, and then they got married. What about now? How can we help him to get a luna?”

A virgin goddess listened to the question carefully, then turned her attention to Agtheo. The young man felt reluctant and afraid, especially considering that Atvertha was the one who exposed all his criminal conspiracies, primarily his actions, which almost got Armen killed.

“I give all of you wolf instincts that will help you to recognize danger and find Luna. These instincts can be talked to and have a name. They will tell you their names. Since tonight, these instincts are active in you and your tribe’s member bodies. Male wolves, especially Alpha, will know who will be their mate based on the smell or aroma emitted from the girl’s body, which makes them excited and infatuated, even from a distance of two meters.”

“Because you are the first generation, I have chosen a girl as Agtheo’s soul mate. He will marry a girl that Norah knows. If your wife knows three or five young ladies, one of them will be a Luna for your Alpha .”

“So, the future Luna for Agtheo is not from our tribe, Goddess?” The hazel-eyed man asked again, and the tone of voice from the start contained respect because that immortal goddess had become the third goddess to protect them.

“Yes. The young Alpha’s future wife does not come from this place, so your area will expand.” The Queen of Witches answered firmly so that all the young unmarried women were immediately heartbroken.

“What if he refuses Agtheo’s conditions?” The head of the Lugthna family could not imagine what their family would experience if the woman rejected their only son as her husband.

“It is his job to convince Luna-to-be. Whatever happens to you and your tribe must not be hidden. Let that girl and her family know about your new identity.” Goddess Atvertha looked at Lebrazht, Norah, Agtheo, and Armen alternately.

“If an Alpha rejects the Luna candidate that the Goddess has chosen, what will happen to him? Can he avoid it or look for another girl who suits his wishes?” Agtheo boldly asked, and he did not raise his hand like his father. Atvertha was not surprised by Armen’s little brother’s impudent behavior, and she wanted to retaliate against this action.

“Good questions, Agtheo! I am sure you asked that-”
