"Zane Lucius Gealach, are you listening to me?!" Zane blinked at the sound of his mother's voice and turned to face her. 'She looks mad. I wonder what I did.. Well she did mention something about listening. So she must have been talking to me. Better tell the truth.' He thought as he put the most charming smile he could muster on his face. "Well to be perfectly honest, Mama. I wasn't paying attention to what you were telling me. What was it again?" He asked sweetly.<br/>"I was reminding you that tonight you are supposed to go out into the forest and stay transformed for the entire night and survive as a wolf until tomorrow afternoon. Do you think that you are ready to do this without help from the elders? Or do you need their help to stay transformed until then?" Angela Luna Gealach sternly reminded her son.<br/><br/>"I can do it by myself. Also Father said that I had to stay transformed for two nights and not to come home until the morning of the third day." He answered hoping that he hadn't heard his father wrong. "You are correct. I was testing you, son. Are you absolutely sure because if you are not then the elders wouldn't object to helping you." Angela replied hoping that her son would take her advice and let the elders bind him to his wolf form for this test.<br/><br/>"No way mother, I can do this by myself. I refuse to allow the pack to think or see that their next alpha weak. I can do this without the elders help. Now if you will excuse me I have to go prepare myself for the trial." He curtly replied and then left the room.
