Chapter 6
Happiness POV
"You guys going to be okay for this ride?" Claudia grumbled from underneath two shopping bags,
"Just start the gas already Juliet. I do not think I can hold my breath any longer underneath this sea of bags." We finally pulled up into the driveway of the packhouse. The boys were already outside, ready to help us take the bags inside. When Terry opened the door, seven bags burst out of the car. He jumped back in fright and avoided the collision. As he held a hand to his heart, he wheezed out,
"Woah, oh my god that scared the life out of me! How much did you guys buy the whole mall? I can barely see your faces with all these bags piled in the car and that is tragic because I need to see my beautiful mate. Matthew? Matthew? Are you there? Raise a hand so I know that you are alive somewhere in that pile!" Matthew laughed at her mate's antics, swatting his playfully on his arm as she exited the car,
"You are such drama queen Terry! I am right here! Stop teasing us already and help us carry these bags in!" Jade came over to help carry some bags,
"It looks like you all really had fun, today ladies." Juliet nodded,
"We did! Happiness has a whole wardrobe now! We found a lot of cute stuff for her!" Louis smiled and picked up a few bags,
"There is really a lot of things. I am happy you had loads of fun, Happiness." I beamed and could not help myself, I gave Louis a quick hug,
"Thank you, Louis, thank you so much! I had so much fun with the girls!" He smiled back and hugged me back,
"You are welcome Happiness."
Everyone pitched in and helped out, each taking bags upstairs and placing them in the rooms. The boys left to attend a pack meeting and the girls stayed back to help me put everything away into my closet. "Happiness, it is your ceremony to welcome you as an official member of this pack tonight so we are going to glam you up for the event!" Claudia cheered.
"While the boys are preparing for the event, we are here to give you the full girls' day experience, you are the star today so prepare to be pampered!" Matthew exclaimed. I giggled and nodded,
"Thank you girls, this is going to be fun, I cannot wait! You guys made this day so special for me." Juliet smiled,
"Every girl deserves to be pampered like this at least once in their life. Now sit back and let us work our magic!" Matthew did my hair, curling it and styling it into a half up and half down updo, while Juliet did my makeup. Claudia was in charge of picking out an outfit for me, I could hear her mumble to herself as she looked through the new clothes I had gotten. Everyone was busy and focused on making me look my best for the ceremony, I have never felt more like a princess.
Finally picking an outfit, Claudia exclaimed as she held up a stunning baby blue mini dress and a pair of gold, sparkling high heels.
"You are going to look amazing in this." I smiled and nodded, "Thank you Claudia! That is the perfect dress for this occasion." I slipped on the dress and with Claudia's help, zipped it up. Matthew finally finished the last curl and my hair has never felt so soft and light. Juliet was putting on the final touches of my makeup and when she was done she held up a mirror. I gasped when I saw my reflection. The girl in front of me had steel grey eyes with dusty rose and gold eyeshadow, a thin line of eyeliner, long mascara-coated lashes, glowing skin with a dust of blush on each cheek, and baby pink colored lips. I looked beautiful and felt beautiful.
"Wow you guys, I don't know what to say…it that girl really me?" I asked, breathless as I continued t stare in awe at my reflection. Juliet beamed,
"Who else would it be silly? Happiness, you look absolutely stunning." Claudia and Matthew nodded their heads in agreement. I blushed and thanked them, "Thank you, Claudia, Matthew, and Juliet. You three are so amazing." I told them shyly.
"Aww, Happiness! It was our pleasures," answered Claudia as she came over to gently hug me.
"Agreed! Happiness, you are the brightest star tonight! Now let's go downstairs, the ceremony will be starting soon." Juliet informed us with a bright smile as she led the way downstairs.
As soon as the guys saw me walk down the staircase, their jaws fell to the floor. I blushed and looked down, feeling flattered and embarrassed by all of the attention that was suddenly on me. "Happiness! You look amazing!" exclaimed Jade. Terry and Taylor nodded in agreement.
"Wow…just wow! You look breathtaking Happiness!" Louis told me, as he offered me his hand to take as I walked down the last step. I shyly thanked them and took Louis's hand. He led me out to the backyard where everyone was waiting for the ceremony to start.
The whole backyard was decorated and lit up with glowing fairy lights, a stage stood in the center and everyone was gathered around it. After noticing that everyone from the Crescent Moon Pack was present, I suddenly felt very shy and a bit overwhelmed so the first instinct was to stay close to Louis and hide behind him as much as I could as we walked towards the stage. Louis softly squeezed the hand he was holding in reassurance, trying to calm my nerves. Once we arrived on the stage,
"Quiet down everyone please," ordered Louis, using his Alpha voice. Everyone immediately stopped talking, obeying their respected Alpha. More and more people gathered around, waiting patiently for their Alpha to start his speech.
"You can come out now Happiness, everyone is eager and excited to meet you," whispered Louis as he gently tugged on my hand, urging me to step forward. I came out from my hiding spot behind Louis and almost instantly everyone's attention was on me. Louis gave me a reassuring nod and we started the pack transfer process.

Louis made a small cut on each of our hands, one on his left hand and the other one on my right hand. The wounds started bleeding instantly. We exchanged blood by putting our hands together and watched as the dark red liquid swirled together.
"Do you, Happiness Merry Westlife swear to protect, love, and be loyal to the Crescent Moon Pack?" asked Louis.
"I swear to protect, love, and be loyal to the Crescent Moon Pack." I felt the bond of my old pack breaking as a new bond started to form. This is it. This is officially the start of a new life, of a new me.
"Every end is a new beginning."
The wounds on our hands slowly healed thanks to our werewolf healing powers and just like that I, Happiness Merry Westlife became a member of the Crescent Moon Pack. All the pack members erupted into cheers and claps as the ceremony ended. Louis and I walked off the stage and Matthew, Claudia, and Juliet all immediately rushed to wrap me in a huge group hug to which was soon joined in by Jade, Taylor, Terry, and Louis.
"Little one, welcome to the pack, I hope you will feel at home here. Before this night ends, we have one last thing to do. It is a tradition in our pack to let our wolves out and do a pack run in the forest after a new wolf joins so…" Louis trailed off as he shifted into his big and majestic pure black wolf, Shadow.
I gasped as I stared at his wolf form, his wolf was beautiful with fur as dark as night. Louis let out a long, loud, and powerful howl, and one by one, all of the members of the pack shifted into their wolves and howled along with their Alpha. I looked around at the different shades of usual brown and blonde fur and grinned.
"Let's do this Mandel!" I took a deep breath and let Mandel take over. We shifted into our pure white wolf form and let out a happy bark once the transformation was complete. Our bright cobalt blue eyes roamed around and we were surprised to see all the other wolves looking at us with a look of astonishment and awe, except for Louis, who had already seen me in wolf form. We just gave everyone a wolfish smile before turning around and taking off swiftly towards the lush forest behind the backyard. We heard everyone start to follow behind, their paws thundering against the ground. I pointed my snout up to the moon and let out a long howl filled with happiness. Soon, the once quiet night was filled with the melodic sound of wolves howling.
Louis quickly caught up with us and together we ran neck to neck, as the Alpha and the Newbie.
