The impending night cast a shadow of apprehension over me as I contemplated the upcoming ascending ceremony – an event that held immense significance for both Alex and the pack.

Amidst the palpable energy, a sense of uncertainty tugged at my thoughts. This ceremony marked Alex's transition into the role of alpha, a role he was preparing to embrace fully. And deep down, I knew that he wanted me there, standing by his side.
