Chapter 150

I stepped forward, my gaze sweeping over the pack, settling on Ash and Reed.

“Ash, Reed—step forward.” They moved with purpose, their postures steady but reverent, their eyes meeting mine with a mixture of pride and humility. I could see the memories flashing behind their eyes—the battles they had fought, the wolves they had lost, and the loyalty that had kept them strong.

“As Alpha, it is my honor to recognize your courage, your loyalty, and your dedication to Talon Pack,” I began, my voice steady but filled with warmth.

“You have shown us what it means to be a warrior, to protect, to stand beside each other in the face of any threat. Today, we honor you as protectors of Talon Pack, as wolves who will carry our legacy forward.”

Ash’s eyes shone with pride, and I could see the quiet strength in Reed’s gaze, a maturity that had come from the hardships they had faced, the battles they had survived. They were no longer the young, untested wolves they had once been; they were warriors, a part of Talon Pack’s future.

Dante stepped forward, placing a hand on each of their shoulders, his voice filled with pride.

“I have had the privilege of training both of you, of seeing the strength and courage that lies within you. You have faced every challenge, stood beside us in every fight, and you have earned your place here today. Talon Pack is stronger because of you, and I know that you will continue to make us proud.”
