A Chosen Daughter

Chapter 13 *E

"Tell me Beta, that's usually a position past down from father to son ... is that the case with you?"
Daniel nods curtly "Yes!"
"Did your father ever sit you down and explain to you what that role is? What it means to the pack? How to uphold that position?"
"Yes ... Since I was little my father has spoken to me about the importance of the role! The responsibility it bears! It should be honoured and respected as it brings strength to one and all! Above all you should always be ready to protect everyone in the pack, as well as anyone that is weaker than myself. A position is only as strong as the man that holds it!"
"I like your dads style!" Leah then tilts her head, a mock look of confusion appears on her face "Though i have heard similar words, said in a similar manner ... in regards to ones mate and the sacred bond! Though the ending is usually 'A bond is only as strong as the individuals' basically a weak mate equals a weak bond!" Daniel grimaces, the fact he is viewed as a weak mate not sitting well with him, especially as Sophie would probably agree.

Leah taps a finger against her lips "Did you believe your fathers words? Did you ever see the strength and truth in them?"
Daniels flushes "Yes of course! I still do!" His eyes dart to the side to a big angry looking male, the similarities between them; the same mixed dark blonde light brown coloured wavy hair and hazel eyes suggesting the man was his father, the current Beta. Currently that Betas jaw is clenched, with a redness sitting on the surface of his skin. His eyes are hard and angry and yet, oh so disappointed at the same time. "I took my fathers words to heart! I do my best in my training to become a strong link in this pack, to be a good Beta! Regardless of my earlier behaviour and unwise choice of words, I value every life in this pack! I would fight beside any of these men and gladly lay down my life to protect one of our more vulnerable!" He finishes strongly.

The truth gives weight to his words. A silence hangs in the garden as many of his pack mates show respect to him for his truth, for his blood and sweat, he so willingly gives them!

Leah narrows her silver eyes staring intently at the centre of him. "You walk a very fine line! Neither fully in the light of the Goddess, nor the dark! Your tendencies, are darkening your path and soul! Your sense of honour and duty however keep you in sight of the light .... be careful though, If you should even stumble, at this current time, where you stand ... your path will crumble and you will lose sight of Goddess' loving light!"
