The Enchanted Chronicles

Chapter 28

I AIDEN GILBERT LEWIS,
SON OF ALPHA JACKSON AND LUNA LILY...
HEREBY TESTIFIES MY BLOOD OATH TO CARE AND PROTECT SHADOW CRACK PACK, OUR LAND AND INMATES AS THEIR DUTIFUL ALPHA, EVEN BY SACRIFICING MY LIFE UNTIL MY HEIR TAKE OVER THE POSITION, IN THE NAME OF WORSHIPPED MOON GODDESS SERENE, RESPECTED ANCESTORS AND LEGENDS

Everyone shivered as Aiden cut his palm with a knife to perform the blood oath facing the full moon and the elders.

Later Alpha Jackson cut his own palm to join his blooded hands with his son's.

The onlookers can sense the essence of power in the atmosphere as it transfers from Alpha Jackson to Aiden..

Every pack members bowed to the ground unable to stand the energy.

The moon goddess is most powerful on full moons, according to the legends she used to visit her offsprings during every full moons.. that is the day which bring her close to them. Being her favourites the werewolves are most powerful at this time period, contrary to other supernaturals... That's the reason why Alpha ceremony conducted on full moons as a custom and respect towards the goddess, seeking her blessings.

Even If the power didn't effect her, Lavender bowed with others to keep her act, since only the Elders and other Alphas are standing without bowing.

Alpha Aiden!

The loud cheers broken throughout the crowd. Every eyes were on him as he stand at the podium proudly acknowledging his pack and for a brief moment his eyes found hers in the audience like a magnetic pull which made her unable to intake breath for some seconds.

The mate bond and Full moon!

Oh my god!
How can she forgot something important as that?!

Even If there is a witch spell present above the mate bond, the feelings one has on his true mate will remain in a smaller amount and both of the parties can't refuse that.
Keenly Beware of full moons..
The power of a witch is minimum at that period so the mate pull might be in maximum and If the spell is not casted strongly the bond may suppress the spell. The chances of it happening is likely stronger If the spell is casted on a warewolf Alpha.

She have to be careful!

Lavender silently followed her family to the podium without giving her mate a second glance as it was Tylor's turn as the Beta.

Beta Brian moved towards the Elders with a proud smile following the same process as before.

I Tylor Brown Evans,
Son of Beta Brian and Beta Jenny,
Hereby Promising My Life and Service to My Alpha and Pack Members in The Name Of Worshipped Moon Goddess Serene and My Ancestors..

After they performed the blood oath Aiden moved forward to cut his own palms again as the old one was fully healed to accept his Beta.

There is a reason why Alphas and Betas are bestfriends, they have to be in a perfect sync with each other from now on. A Beta is the only other person who can almost control the emotions of a furious Alpha other than the Luna by acting as a personal mentor.

Gabriel also have to do the same with these two but not separately. He is the head of warriors, The Gamma!
The training, interrogations, war tactics.. etc are under his control.
Since he is mated, Brooklyn also has to take the oath with him, this is kind of a Mating ceremony for them and her official entry to their pack.

Lavender can see the sorrow in Aiden's eyes as the couple happily perform their vows..

He always prayed and begged to the goddess to have his mate beside him while he take over the pack.

She walks away without anyone noticing unable to control her tears and those killing guilt that stabbing her heart over and over again.

He deserves a better mate!
A perfect Luna...

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Aiden proudly watched his warriors performing their oath one by one.
He can feel the powers running through his veins.. it felt wonderful.. and it made him closer to his pack members more than before.

Alpha Its Time for the run!
Gabriel reminds him from behind as the Elders leaves the podium after their congratulatory speech.

The busy crowd happily move forwards their way to the entrance for changing. His eyes desperately searched for those voilet ones in the crowd unintentionally, He tried to console himself that he just wants to see her wolf, since they were absent at her shift.

The Midnight Black Wolf!

They only heared about those on legends and old grandma stories... he still believes that she is not blessed to be one of that kind and everything was a misunderstanding. Afterall there are plenty of regular blackwolves on their pack.

Soonly with a loud howl the Shadow crack followed their Alpha in the dark night, their paws rusted through the pack lands crusting the dry leaves and crushed branches... only some pups and unshifted teens stand behind at the pack house. Even the elders joined the run, which was kind of strange..

Aiden's white wolf leads happily surrounding their border before hunting with his companions. There is a true sense of community between them.

When the night progressed with barbeque session after the hunting, Aiden decides to take a quite stroll in the midnight. He needs some alone time from those overly enthusiastic shewolves..

The path was still muddy with all of their paw prints after the run, as deeper he gets into the forest the sound of falling water and flowing river awaited him at the other end along with a magnificent sight.

And it looks like she is having a secret silent conversation with the smiling moon. The moonlight made her look like a goodess.. and the air around her seems hypnotized with a magic. Even the river is shining with her reflection.

A sudden magnetic pull provoke him to advance towards her direction and stand relatively close to her long raven hair.

Why are you here Lavender?

She jolted surprisingly at his voice, the action caused her to face him directly. And again like a dejavu he feels that attraction when she gazed him with those bright violet eyes twinkling beautiful than those stars above them.

Involuntarily his hands moved to cup her cold pale face inside his warm hands againts all of the constraints he managed.

Lavender jumped with the sudden touch like it shocked her skin but that was enough for Aiden to broke his trance and leave her confused self behind.

He have to find her grandmother... There are some unfinished conversation which they yet have to finish...

To be continued....
