Chapter 82


    Roxanne obeyed. She took off her Panama’s and put on a more conducive outfit for the cold. After


    all, the ceremony was going to take ce outside, in the cold. After she wore her very insted coat,


    they both proceeded to the living room to get their boots and exit the house.


    From the looks of things, Rita and Dax we’re most likely asleep. This made Roxanne curious about


    the time.


    “It''s 11:09” Melissa answered when Roxanne asked her.


    The Awakening ceremony was to be held at midnight. Calcting the time it would take for them to


    reach the site of the event, and set everything up, they were right on schedule.


    “Okay, Roxanne. Are you ready?” Melissa asked.


    Roxanne nodded with determination.


    This wasn’t the first time she would steal away in the middle of the night. The inky difference


    between what she did in the past was that this time she wasn’t alone, she was with her mother. Oh,


    and also the fact that she previously went for wrestling, unlike this time where she was going for a ritual


    that would turn her into a wolf.


    They left the house and ventured into the far end of the vige, to the woods. Since it had to be a


    segregated ce, they decided to move even further from the settlement. They also needed high

    ground, a ce closer to the sky where the moon''s brilliance could radiate more on her.


    Roxanne stared at the sky and watched the milky white circle in the sky. She felt like it followed her


    wherever she went, and while she found it to be a little creepy, she couldn’t help but smile at the


    They finally arrived at high ground, a hill just further in the woods. It was already a cleared area,


    which made Roxanne assume that this was a site regrly used by the other members of the pack for


    their own Awakening.


    “Now then… Let us begin.” Melissa said.


    Melissa started to prepare the materials she bought. Roxanne stared at them, and there were a lot


    of things she didn’t recognize. She knew the use of some though. There was chalk, some sort of


    muddy water, wolf skin, bone, and the rest that Roxanne ssified as mostly nts and weed she


    didn’t recognize.


    “A wolf is a creature of the tundra, of the woods, the snow, the ins, the forest, and the desert.


    The wolves are usually at the apex of the food chain wherever they exist. That is why we will proceed


    with this ceremony with these ingredients, obtained from each and every part of the wolf''s habitat. In


    order to call out your ‘Inner Wolf'', it must sense familiar territory. We will make such a territory here. I


    will set things up. You should start too…” Melissa stated.


    Roxanne knew what this meant. It was time to strip. Strangely, she didn''t feel any of the


    embarrassment she felt previously. She felt she could do anything at this point. Was it due to the


    excitement she was feeling or was it thanks to the high of the moon? She didn''t know, but she didn''t


    care either.


    Her mother gave her an ointment to rub on her body before she took off her garments. While she


    did this, Melissa prepared the ingredients, arranging them in a circle. She poured the salt to make a


    circle, connecting the various ingredients she brought. After doing this, she made a smaller circle in the


    middle. Roxanne guessed that was where she would be staying.


    After rubbing the ointment, Roxanne let go of her clothes, entirely naked under the moonlight. Her


    fair body glistened as she approached her mother with a stern look of resolve.


    Initially, she was worried about the cold and how it would affect her if she was not wearing


    anything, but thanks to the ointment, she felt warm all over her body. Roxanne couldn''t exin how it


    worked, but that didn''t matter.


    Looking at the circle Melissa made, it was easy to suspect it to be some sort of creepy cult ritual of


    voodoo practises. The Roxanne of the past would definitely freak out if she saw something like this and


    was told to participate in such a ceremony. However, in just the span of a few days, a lot of things


    about her had changed. And now, even more would change.


    “Step into the circle, Roxanne. Let us begin the Awakening” Melissa said.


    Roxanne did as she was told and slowly walked into the centre of the circle, feeling a strange


    sensation within her as she did so. A warm feeling enveloped her insides. It was finally time.


    The moon hung in the sky, serving as a witness to the bizarre event to ur.
