Alpha Nocturne"s Contracted Mate

CHAPTER 21 A Sudden Kiss

The planned ceremonies had gone off without a hitch. The pack had welcomed her warmly and the Elders approved of her

bloodline, conducting the binding ceremony and formal linking with the pack to loud cheers from all involved.

After all, Ann was of Royal lineage and the official union with their Alpha elevated the Dark Moon Pack’s status greatly. Now they were second in power and strength to only the Alpha King himself. It would be something loudly talked about to anyone that would listen.

It also meant that their Alpha may one day have the chance to rule as the Alpha King as Ann was the eldest daughter and the current heir. She met all of the required qualifications for that a Luna Queen.
