"That," Patricia nodded to herself thinking about it, "comes after I explain the hierarchy."

she was not a fan of that because it only meant that she would have to wait more. but since it was patty who knew better it was obvious that he knew how and from where to proceed. so, Adeline nodded, letting her know that she was ready with whatever she wanted to tell her first.

​​

"Okay, " Patty sighed loudly and began, "At the very top is the Alpha, the-no that comes later, lets just take an example of a tribe, for you and what we call a pack, for us, okay?" Adeline nodded.

"Alpha is the leader of the pack, the sole caretaker. it is a dictatorship, yes because it is him who leads and then his children who takeover from him."

" So no one can ever accept the alpha's family?" Adelen felt herself scowling at the situation because that was just not fair.

Her scowl did go unnoticed. Patricia almost smiled out loud because it was literally what a luna would do. A Luna wood stands against the injustice just as Adaline had done.

"Not really, if someone thinks that they are more worthy for the alpha's position than the Alpha himself they can always challenge him for a fight. This fight is for until the death of one person and the winner that is still alive emerges as the Alpha. Usually it is the Alpha that remains standing and very rarely it happens that the Challenger actually wins."

" Moving forward," Patty continued when she did not see any more doubts coming from adaline. "Then comes the second in command to the Alpha, the beta wolf and the beta female. Like I said he is the second in command and if the Alpha decides for something then it is usually the beta that carries it out along with the delta and the gamma wolves."

"Now, the game awards are the ones that are usually responsible for the overall wellness of the pack. That is whether everyone is employed or if anyone is an healthy or if there is need for something he is usually the one who lets the Alpha know. So you can say he's like . . Um," she snapped her fingers thinking about it.

"Like a . . Keeper?"

"Data keeper, maybe." Patty shrugged, "I forgot the word."

She then continued, " now is the delta wolf. He might seem as the lowest one in the hierarchy but after him usually comes warriors and the common wolfs. To be honest the delta wolf is the person who is like a commander of the army. Every warrior belonging to the king's army is trained by the delta wolf. He commands the king's army. Next are usually the common words the people who share similar rank and below them are omega wolves. These people are really weak. As in they cannot shift or maintain a connection with their wolf for long which eventually leads to them being weaker than any other wolf."

Adelen pursued her lips as she kept on thinking about the last line. If Omega wolves were the weakest and so were humans did that mean that they were somehow similar?

"Nope, don't think about it." Patty shook her head. "To be honest, each and every human thinks the same thing and I will be honest with you. Even the Omega wolves are the weakest and on the lowest of the hierarchy you still cannot win against one."

Adeline gave her sheepish smile to her on being caught. They could not blame the humans for comparing or thinking about it because here they were on the lowest of the food chain and even the weakest one on the hierarchy could outdo them.

"And now we come to your question; who is a luna."

Adeline felt her heart beat quickly as they descended upon the question that she wanted to know the most about. Sure it was that the above information has been quite informative and she felt that the knowledge would eventually do good but now came to you original question that she wanted to be the answer.

"Every Power holding person in the hierarchy has a female counterpart or just someone who is their mate. For the Alpha it's the Luna," she looked at Adeline pointedly, "for the rest it's the hierarchy and then there is the female. Like for the beta wolf it's the beta female then for the gamma wolf it's the gamma female and so on."

Adelen might not have reacted a lot while she was in the in families staring out of the window but she had heard a lot of conversations with the mail would come for cleaning her room or when the doctors would talk to each other while discussing her reports and in the conversation the word Luna was overheard much more than her own name.

So there was a slight fear in her mind regarding who all of this could point out to.

"W-who?" She stuttered.

"Well," Patty sighed, "we are not just talking on pack level anymore but on the level of kingdoms. The entire shapeshifting Kingdom, from cheater to human, wolf to human, that shapeshifting, everyone who can shape shift is included in this. In this Kingdom there are rulers of the same as in any hierarchy and here we have Alpha king and the Luna queen."

Now she felt her fears slightly pick up because in the back she had learnt that they were lesson numbers and it was much more in a kingdom. If she was thinking about the Kingdom there were thousands if not more people involved in one and they were talking about different species counted in one.

"Who?" She asked again, pulling every bit of bravery that she had inside her. She had come so far and now she did not want to let the information slip past her.

"Xavier is the Alpha king of the realm making his family the ruling family of the shape shifting valium and you are his mate, his counterpart, his Luna queen."
