In the heart of darkness

27

  "Do you promise to take care of those in your pack that need it, make sure there is enough to go around this growing expanding pack?"
 
  "I do"
 
  "You may now join hands and pass on the responsibility to the new alpha of alphas"
 
  They all take each other's hands and they gasp, throwing their head back. I watch as the aura moves from within Arden and Fay and into Ella
 
  "Congratulations, a round of applause for the new alpha of the blood moon pack, the alpha of alphas and the werewolf queen"
 
  Everyone claps their hands whistling and howling into the air. Baylee settles the crowd as tears stream down her face
 
  "Now alpha Ella, name your betas"
 
  "It would be my honour if the former alpha and Luna Arden and Fay moon would join me as I move the pack into the future with them by my side as my betas"
 
  The crowd gasps, I grin at her. She had taken Carter's advice. They always check each other's futures and Carter had told her that her choice of beta was not a good idea and she's better off waiting and using her parents as her betas until she finds a better option. Baylee grins at her.
 
  "Great now we get to watch Arden submit again"
 
  She smirks at him and he rolls his eyes
 
  "Well this time she's not in a damn nappy so I don't mind so much"
 
  I snorted and laughed, I barely remember that day but Cleo showed it to me recently and it was a funny moment. They both kneel at her feet then Baylee looks to the crowd and everyone but us kneel to her. We get many, many glares from other packs who don't like who we are and the fact that we won't ever kneel to Ella just like she won't kneel to us and that seems to annoy a lot of people.
 
  The 3 of us are equal and none of us expect each other to kneel to each other either. It doesn't bother us like it doesn't bother her. She's our sister and we love her just like she loves us.
 
  Mum stuffs a drink in my hand after that and I chuckle as Ella comes to our table pulling me and Carter into a hug. This seems to subdue some of the pissed off alphas of other packs.
 
  "Damn they really are glaring aren't they?"
 
  Ella says with a chuckle then she squares her shoulders and glares back at them, they immediately submit again and I hold back my laugh as she goes down the family line thanking everyone for coming before taking her seat next to us again.
 
  Carter pulls me down on his knee and he kisses my mark. I bite my lip to suppress my groan and he chuckles doing it again, then he sucks on it sending a shiver down my spine. So I get him back by imagining his dick in my mouth and he freezes on the spot.
 
  "Ewe would you both stop thats gross"
 
  Ella screws up her face and I freeze going red faced
 
  "Why what are they doing"
 
  Scott snaps his head in our direction and Ella snorts
 
  "Nothing worse than what you think about"
 
  She makes a sicky face, making me giggle. Dad glares at me
 
  "Oh seriously stop, I'm a damn virgin and I shouldn't be but I am because you all asked that of me now you can't bloody ask me to keep my thoughts pure to"
 
  I snap at him taking a large drink of the extra strong poitín in my glass, by now mums a little tipsy she must have been drinking all day.
 
  "Leave them Scott, by this stage you and jaxon had me f——"
 
  Dad slaps his hand over her mouth and goes bright red making everyone including mum laugh hysterically
 
  "Lucy you can't say that, would you behave"
 
  "I always behave"
 
  She pouts, snapping back her drink from Scott who tried to steal it.
 
  "Oh your both so grumpy how do you have any fun lucy"
 
  Lilly snaps pouring more into mums glass
 
  "I swear they all turn into alcoholic witches when they come together, like an evil crazy little coven"
 
  Grandpa James tells my dads, nana Keagen glares at him while she takes another drink. Lilly pours more in my glass
 
  "Drink up, your falling behind love"
 
  I listen and down the drink and she grins refilling it as dads slap their hands over their faces making mum giggle. Fay subtly pushes her glass down the table and gets hers refilled and downs it when Ardens not looking.
 
  "I think because we were band from having one that all the boys should move down the table and let us girls have the hen do Carly deserve, after all she's the first real bride we have ever had stay pure and everything and we should celebrate"
 
  "No not happening"
 
  Drake shouts she puts her fingers to his lips
 
  "Ssssh you, let's let the king decide"
 
  Grandpa glares at her as I chuckle but I swear the entire table goes quiet and all eyes turn to Carter who looks frozen in place.
 
  "Do you want to? I'll just be at the other side of the table?"
 
  "Yes Of Course I do it sounds fun"
 
  I link back not having a clue what the huge deal was
 
  "Let them do it, we are here and they have guards what can really go wrong"
 
  Every man groans as the girls jump up and cheer getting up and shooing the boys down the table my grandfathers glare at Carter
 
  "If they get arrested your bailing them all out"
 
  "Where are they going to get arrested?"
 
  "Believe me you have no idea what they are capable of and you just gave them damn permission"
 
  He suddenly looks worried, he pulls my face around to his and I smile at him sweetly
 
  "You're not going to get in any trouble are you?"
 
  I snort shaking my head
 
  "Of Course not, I love you"
 
  He watches me for a second and then smiles
 
  "See mine is good"
 
  He tells my grandfathers who snort and hysterically laugh
 
  "Yeah now, but you just let the purest, most innocent girl free with a pack of she devils"
 
  "I'm innocent to"
 
  Ella snaps
 
  "It's true she is"
 
  Fay answers proudly
 
  "Ha that's before we leave them alone with you lot"
 
  I roll my eyes and look back at Carter sweetly
 
  "Be good and no talking to boys or letting anyone touch you and Daniel stays by your side at all times and he's permitted to break fingers if he has too"
 
  "I promise"
 
  I kiss him one last time then stand up and I take my seat when he moves and he leaves going to the top of the table. All the girls pile around and shot glasses are passed around with killer poitín and soon we are all having a whale of a time celebrating Ella for becoming a boss bitch female alpha and me getting married.
 
  Soon we are all loaded and Baylee suggested we have a dance-off
 
  "You old farts go to that side and us young people will stay on this side"
 
  The older generation gasp and glare at Penny but she shakes her head
 
  "Not you mum or Ailm or Lucy but all the old old ones go to that side"
 
  "Permission to slap the bitch"
 
  Nana lilly scolds making us all take into a fit of giggles. We finally selected teams and head to the floor clearing it out but before we start nana lilly stops everything and climbs on the stage
 
  "I need scissors immediately, scissors are needed immediately by order of our queen so hurry up and somebody get us scissors because we need them right now"
 
  I see grandpa drake facepalm rolling his eyes and shaking his head, one of the people working run out with scissors and Lilly takes them
 
  "Any ladies that are taking part in the royal dance-off on the floor immediately, kingdom against kingdom and no boys are allowed"
