| repeat the words back, giving my oath. Eli then cuts his hand and mine, putting them together. | feel the power of our joined


    hands as our blood drips into the chalice. We are no longer ranked members in name only. The ceremony is solidifying our roles


    within the pack.


    We go through each member, as they swear to love and support the pack, willing to give their lives to protect the pack if needed.


    Each time Eli cuts another hand, grasping it with his own, | feel the strength and power of our pack growing. Our mind link has


    opened up and now we can all speak to each other, including Carlos. | wasn’t sure if it would work for him, without a wolf, but he


    is able to mind link as well.


    When we are done, Alpha Anders steps back up. “Now it is time for each of you to swear your love andmitment to your


    ranked members and your pack. One by one, you wille forward, swearing your allegiance to your ranked members before


    sipping from their blood. Once done, you will feel the mind link and you will officially be members of Safe Haven pack.


    It takes hours, but gradually, every memberes forward, pledging their loyalty andmitment to the pack. Only the pups


    that do not yet have a wolf are excluded from the ceremony. They will officially join the pack when they get their wolf spirit.


    As thest person sips from the chalice, opening thest mind link, a cheer goes up. Eli lifts his hands in the air to quiet


    everyone. “Members of Safe Haven pack. We will have a pack run before our barbeque. Let us all shift to our wolf form and run


    our packnds together. Anyone that is unable to join the pack run, you can follow Carlos inside and begin the festivities with our


    guests from Canyon Ridge and Shadow Falls packs.”


    We had decided that Carlos was the best choice for ranked member not only because he cannot shift, but Hope is too young to


    leave alone. Angel and Cara had offered to help him watch any little ones that would be left while their parents went on the pack


    run.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    | watch for a moment, seeing that some parents are dropping their pups off before turning back to Eli. He has stripped and is


    ready to shift. | join him and we jump to the front of our pack, shifting mid-air. He howls up at the sky and the pack’s answering


    howls reverberate through the ground. Louis takes off, Maia right behind him.


    There are a lot of happy howls and yips as we make our way around the pack

    eaten much today. When we shift and change back into our formal attire, the sun has set and the twinkling lights. that are


    decorating the outdoor patio and seating area are lit up, giving the ce a delicate, romantic feel.


    As our pack members walk inside, chatting happily amongst each other, | pull Eli to a stop.


    “Look at that, Eli. Look at what you have done, what you have created.” | tell him, my heart full of pride for my mate. | know that


    pride is shining in my eyes as | look up at him. He created this, built something from nothing. | want him to take a moment to truly


    appreciate what he has done.


    He wraps his arms around me. “We did this Grace. | couldn’t make this work until | found you. You have brought the heart and


    soul that this pack has needed. | am so proud to have you as my mate and my Luna.”


    We turn, looking inside the ss doors, watching theughter and happiness of our new pack.
