“Asher.” Dennis continued, “do you accept the responsibility of Alpha, to protect, guide, and serve this pack, and to honor the bond you share with your Luna?”
“I do.” Asher said firmly, looking into my eyes as he spoke.
Dennis smiled, a proud, fatherly expression. “Then, by the power of the pack and the bond that unites you, I officially recognize you as Alpha and Luna of this pack.” He raised his hands, and a soft glow of energy spread around the clearing. The pack members hummed in acknowledgment, the energy of the moment wrapping around us.
The pack erupted into cheers, wolf calls, and applause. Warriors stepped forward, bowing their heads briefly in respect. Friends and family clapped, some even laughing with joy. Kaelen and Kaelric whooped loudly, earning playful glares from Gage.
