Chapter 0115

Kaia POV

I had spent the next few days planning Alora's ceremony to join the pack. Usually joining the pack didn't have such a celebration unless you were the Alpha's mate coming from another pack...but the returning lost daughter of the Alpha was a reason to celebrate. It was difficult to have all pack members attend, as they would at a more secure pack, but I had managed to organise a rota that would keep us safe and also let everybody attend.

"Yes, a dance would be nice..." I smile peering around him as Alora starts to make her entrance. She looked beautiful as she walked from the alpha house, Father escorting her through the crowd.

There's a loud cheer from the crowd before Father continues, turning to Alora and slicing her palm open with a dagger...placing his hand within hers. His blood entering her system. "Alora, I need you to repeat after me...I Alora Glace, Daughter of Beckett Glace, Alpha of the Nightshade Reformed pack do pledge
