Chapter 9

• Standing there with cooled flesh I had nearly forgotten what Kanjax had just made me felt. Until our eyes clashed against each other, his gaze seeking and mine simply looking about the crowd before me. I narrowed my gaze at him, pushing down the heat that began to rush against my skin. I didn't have time for this farce, the moon sat high up within the sky as She made an appearance for my ascension ceremony.
• Mama and Otets had recently arrived and now stood before me in front of the rest of the pack and or guests with my brothers. They all gazed up at me as I stood on the deck overlooking the garden. Tiki torches scattered the garden, offering a dim glow to light up the surrounding area. Not that we needed the light.
• Without sparing Kanjax another glance I took a deep breath. "Thank you all for coming out for my Alpha Ascension Ceremony tonight! My mother and father have long since prepared me for overtaking this position, my brothers equally supportive." I called out, my sharp gaze cutting towards the smug looking Elders. "Now, as dictate states I will be calling forth an Elder of the pack to usher me into my new position." I paused, cooling my anger from looking at the Elders who looked quite pleased with themselves. "Elder Beccam, if you would."
