Sweat was pouring down the sides of her face, and her eyes blurred over in total concentration. She had to get this right! She needed to get this right! Her arrow was pointed as straight as she could manage, her fingers lightly grasping the string and arrow end. With the release of a breath, she released the arrow as well. It soared across the training field, hitting the target dead center. A smile emerged across her face, and she jumped in the air!

"I did it! I did it!" the newly turned eighteen year old squeaked out, giggling in excitement towards her accomplishment.

"Ya sure did, Squirt."

Turning around, Levy smiled even more when she noticed her best friend standing behind her. Leaping into his arms, she gave him a friendly peck on the cheek. "Gajeel! Did you see what I did?!"

He chuckled, his maroon eyes glancing down at her with an emotion that Levy couldn't quite comprehend. "I sure did, Little One. Ya hit the center mark, and I'm very proud of ya!"

A light blush formed on Levy's cheeks. She had a small crush on her best friend, but she knew better than to reveal that to him. He was much older than her, though being an immortal vampire. She was in charge of turning Gajeel into a werewolf, but she simply couldn't find the right time. Whenever they were alone, her father always had a guard around to make sure that they didn't do anything, though Levy wasn't exactly sure why her father would think that they were capable of doing anything like that.

"Thank you, Gajeel. May I ask, why are you out here?" she asked curiously.

He smiled slightly. "Yer father was looking for ya. He said that there was somethin' that he needed to tell us both."

She nodded, allowing Gajeel to carry her back to the pack house. He always insisted that he carry Levy everywhere, though she never understood why. . .

She also wondered what her father wanted to talk to them about. She had chosen Gajeel to become her Beta ever since she was a small pup. She couldn't think of a better creature, especially after he gifted her with her own bookstore to own! Despite him not being a werewolf, she wanted him by her side always. Besides, she was preparing on changing him into a werewolf very soon anyways. The only thing that she was worried about was the concept of mates. Gajeel's mate died eighteen years ago, her exact age ironically. He would always say that Levy resembled his mate almost identically, and that's what frightened her. She didn't want to find her werewolf mate and leave Gajeel without anyone to treasure. Levy wasn't stupid. She knew that Gajeel treated her as if she were his mate.

Also, she knew that Gajeel would have a chance at finding a werewolf mate after he was changed, and she didn't want to lose her best friend. She wouldn't be able to cope without him. He was the air she breathed, the life she lived, the love--

"Little One, we're here," Gajeel softly said, waking Levy out of her thoughts.

She noticed that they were in her father's office, her father giving her a stern look. Blushing, the blunette slid out of the strong, pierced arms that were holding her. Quickly, she sat down in one of the soft, leather chairs that were placed in front of her father's desk. Gajeel sat down in the chair beside her, bowing his head in slight respect towards her father, the Alpha of Blue Eclipse Pack.

"Gajeel, Levaenia. I've called you both to my office for a very important matter that we need to discuss," her father spoke calmly.

Levy nodded. "Of course, Father. What is it?"

"As you know, you are now old enough to possess the Alpha position. However, that cannot be done until you have finished your training. Have you any idea on how much longer that will take?" he asked.

"Three months. Afterwards, Levy should be well trained and prepared for the Alpha duty," Gajeel spoke out, his facial expression serious.

The current Alpha narrowed his eyes slightly towards Gajeel. "Yes, well--there is another matter to speak of. It isn't the training alone that is preventing you from gaining the Alpha title, Levaenia."

The bookworm's eyebrows raised in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"You need a Beta, a werewolf Beta. And Gajeel is no werewolf, Levaenia. You haven't turned him yet," Alpha said.

"I will soon. I have three months, according to Gajeel. I promise to change him during those three months," Levy offered.

Her father shook his head. "No, Levaenia--Levy. Look, our pack has had recent feral attacks, too many to be considered usual. I need you as safe as possible, and with Gajeel already a vampire, imagine the strength and power he will have once the werewolf venom is laced with his vampire venom. He will be an unstoppable creature, perfect to keep this pack alive and thriving,"

The blunette narrowed her eyes. "He isn't a tool to me, Father. He's my best friend!"

"It's alright, Squirt," Gajeel softly said, holding her hand gently in reassurance.

"I'm aware of that, but I hope that he is more to you than that. I'd like my daughter mated with a soon-to-be vampire/werewolf hybrid. With that said, your mother and I have decided on something," he admitted.

Levy gulped, her emotions conflicted on where the conversation was leading to. "And what do you propose?"

Her father smiled. "Tomorrow, we are hosting a mating ceremony for Gajeel and yourself. There, you are to turn him into a werewolf. I expect the marking and mating to occur tomorrow,"

"What?! But father! He is my friend! He doesn't--"

"Levy, it is alright. I don't mind at all."

Blushing brightly, she glanced over at a smiling Gajeel. His eyes held that emotion again, but she still couldn't figure out what it was exactly. "A-are you sure?"

"I'm absolutely sure! I can think of no other beautiful she-wolf to be mated with," he answered honestly, that unknown emotion seeming to grow stronger.

"Then it's settled! Tomorrow, you will become Levaenia Redfox, mate of Gajeel Redfox!"
