Chapter 27
Lady Olivia pov
I have everything ready the bowl of rainwater the bowl of river water the bowl of dirt from both the shadow pack land and the moonbeam land. Both chalices are the moonbeam dagger and the shadow pack dagger. We have to bind the packs as one, yet as two. I look to the alpha and nod to let him know we are ready.
The alpha calls for everyone's attention and starts the ceremony. “it's good to see you all here and I'm sure you are all wondering what is happening.” He says looking around. “tonight we are celebrating my son Damien finding his mates. Also, we will be naming aria queen Luna and Damien, and Brendon as her mates and kind. Followed by naming their new betas.” He says with a huge grin I can see how proud he is of his son and his pack as we hear them cheer. My wolf perks up saying something smells off. But we can't pinpoint it.
The Luna stands and says “let's welcome aria Mani, Damien stone, and Brendon hemming to the stage followed by their chosen betas Zane and James storm, Kari winters, and James mate soon to be beta mate kade winters.” Cheers are so loud you can't hear yourself think as they make their way to the stage.
Stepping up as they reach the stage I look over them all-knowing this group of strong wolves is blessed by the moon goddess herself.
“Today we are naming aria Mani as the rightful heir and alpha of the moonbeam pack. This pack will be reborn as the new royal pack. Once named as the alpha and queen of wolves we will name her mates Damien stone and Brendon hemming as her kings. Together they will rule over us all and keep the peace. But this can not be done alone they will need help. So it states once the queen and kings are named they will appoint their betas. Unlike a normal pack that has a beta couple, the royals have three betas leaving it open to having three beta couples. I have been informed that they have chosen their betas and I'm proud to say that Zane storm will be beta to king Damien. Kari winters will be beta to aria Mani and last but not least James storm will be Brendon hemming's beta along with his mate kade winters.” More cheers are heard and I can see the storms both crying and having looks of pride in their twins. The alpha and Luna radiate the pride they have in these seven young wolves. “knowing that running a pack can be tough running two packs and all wolves will be a challenge so as the oracle of the moon been pack old and new it is my place to appoint an adviser to help oversee things so until alpha Jackson stone is ready to turn the shadow pack over to our royals for their time to run it I will appoint his as an adviser to the queen and her kings. This makes the shadow pack an extension of the royal pack. So with this, I will name the shadow to pack the royal guard pack from now until the end of time.
Not only will these packs grow and be strong they will rule and guide all wolves. Both of these packs will run as one until the heirs of the queen and kings are of age and ready to take over the packs at that time they will be two packs again but still as one. By blood land and water from both the shadow pack and the moonbeam pack. When one is in need the other is there to help. They are more than sister packs strong alone invisible together.” Walking to the side of the altar I get in position to start the binding of land water and blood of both packs.
Just as I reach for the bowls to dump the water and dirt from their sealed containers the alarms go off.
Alpha Jackson pov
Lady Olivia is starting the binding part of the ceremony she reaches for the rainwater bowl inside are two vials one from our land and one lady Olivia has had for this reason. When the alarms start going off. I look to my mate and tell her to grab lady Olivia and head for the bunker. Lady Olivia is grabbing all the vials and shoves them into a bag. Aria helps my mate get lady Olivia and the women and children to the bunker under the packhouse. Damien and the rest of the young leaders are stripping to shift as are every warrior. I don’t strip I just shift and head to the border but patrol is reporting several stops we are being breached. Not only am I being told alpha Anderson and alpha Greene are back with their wolves but rouges and hunters are here as well. Are they working together? I don’t know what we are going to do. This is not a normal attack this is what nightmares are made of. I link everyone “I know it looks bad but we are strong and we have something they don’t the love of each other and our families and above it, all we have is the honor and the love of the goddess lets show these wolves and hunters they messed with the wrong pack” roars of unity are heard all around. I linked my mate “my love please call our closest allies and tell them what is happening and ask them to come to help us?” “already on it love be safe” and we cut the link.
Reaching the border I find hunters and rogues attacking as one I don’t hesitate to jump into the fey of things. Taking out rouges as fast as I can not wanting to lose any of my warriors even if that is wishful thinking on my part. As I'm ripping the throat out of a mange-covered rogue I see a hunter aiming a gun. Looking to see where he is aiming I see Damien. Like hell you ugly shit. I charge sinking my teeth into his arm that is holding the gun. Feeling my teeth sliding through his soft flesh hitting bone. Clamping down harder only stopping when I hear the tell-tale sound of crunching bones. His blood is dripping down my jaw to my chest. Painting my dark gray furred. The smell of iron is thick in the air. He is howling out in pain. Dropping the gun he looks over at me with huge eyes. “what the hell are you some kind of demon wolf?” he cries out. I answer by shaking my head hard ripping his arm from his body and tossing it aside while he is in shock I go for his throat. Bloodlust is taking over as I let Jax show these hunters what we are made of.
