The Alpha Who Saved Me

CHAPTER 14

DECLAN “Do you Quinn Night, daughter of Alpha Lincoln Night and Luna Stacia Night of the Dark Moon pack, swear to uphold the laws that the Goddess Selene, herself, has put forth?” I make sure my voice is loud and strong, so all pack members can hear me as I swear in their new Alpha.

“I do swear.”

to treat each pack member with the same respect that you,

“And do you swear to be a kind and just Alpha like your father before you yourself would like to receive?”

“I do swear.”

I continue on as I gaze at the beautiful she-wolf before me, saddened that I will not be seeing her face every day anymore. On the other hand, I am so proud of the woman that she has turned into, and I have no doubt that she will lead her pack just as her father had. As I come to the end, I slice the palm of my hand and hold it up to her.

“From the blood of an Alpha, I, Alpha Declan Storm, of the Storm River Pack, do give you, Quinn Night of the Dark Moon pack, the power of an Alpha by the drinking of my blood. Do you accept this Alpha blood?”

“I do accept your blood.” She says in a whispery voice, just loud enough for the others to hear. She steps up and takes my hand, bringing it to her mouth and drinking as she stares right at me.

The moment her lips touch my hand, it’s all I can do to hold my wolf back. Something strange happens, and I haven’t the slightest clue as to what it is. I can feel the shift in her power, only it feels like a hell of a lot of power. It actually leaves me a bit lightheaded as she drinks, even though she barely taken anything. All of a sudden, I hear our hearts begin to beat in time with the other’s, they are now synced. I’ve never heard of anything like this happening; it’s not how my father had told me it had felt when he had sworn in an alpha.

Quinn must feel it too because her eyes go as round as saucers as she takes pull after pull from my hand. All too soon, though, she is pulling away and licking the last droplets of my blood from her lips. I watch as she closes her eyes as though she is savoring the taste. When she opens then again, they meet mine, and she gives a slight nod, indicating for me to finish.

“By the power of our Goddess Selene, I present to you, Quinn Night, Alpha of the Dark Moon pack!” My voice booms across the crowd and then cheers go up and I see the color flush Quinn’s face as she realizes that all the cheering is for her. I grin at her and then pull her into my arms for a hug.

“I know that I’ve been giving you a hard time, but I am so very proud of you, Quinn. I know your parents are looking down on you and are even prouder.”

“Thank you, Declan. You don’t realize what it means to me to hear you say that.”

I lean down and kiss her cheek before the crowd starts coming forward to wish their new Alpha luck. I take a few steps back and just watch to see her pack interact with her. They seem to be smitten with her already, and the warriors are already wanting to start their duty in protecting their new Alpha, as they keep a watchful eye on our surroundings.

“What are you going to do now that Quinn is gone?” My cousin asks from beside me, “oh wait, that’s right, you knocked up your *!”

I clench my jaw but don’t give him what he wants, which is for me to start a fight. I’m not sure what game he is playing, but I’m pretty sure that it has to do with the new Alpha, and I’ll be *if I let him play any of his sick games with her.
