Alpha Marion's burial was like that of every other alpha who has died before, although it was a first for me, I felt like a part of the park, I felt like I had gone through rituals like this before.
The whole ceremony lasted for about five days, there were three stages of it with the last stage being the spirit song.
The spirit song is the first and only training an alpha undergoes, it is also the final farewell of the alpha to the land of the spirits.
I get back to the park house very much exhausted, I didn't cry through out the ceremony and my heart is heavy from all the bottled up emotions, I haven't even been able to talk to Michael about how I feel and the poor man has been really sweet and understanding with me.
I am to be officially made the new alpha in a week, as expected not all the elders are on my side, they have reservations about my loyalty seeing I am not fully wolf or anything else for that matter.
