Chapter 65

Maxie slightly parted her lips as though she couldn’t believe what Daran just said. And so was everyone else.

They were all staring at Daran and Maxie, dumbfounded, as this information sank in.

Janet was the first one to start clapping. She smiled looking at Maxie and cried, “Go Maxie!”

Maxie’s face went red instantly.

“W–Wait! I can’t!” she waved her hands in panic and gasped, “There are so many capable and strong warriors in the army. I can’t be your only choice-”

“You are not our only choice. But you are our best choice,” Daran said with an encouraging smile. “You have been training our soldiers. You have the experience, and

you are familiar with how things are done here in Riverside Pack. I have discussed this with the elders. They all agreed with me on this.”

“That’s right, Maxie. You have all of our support,” one of the elders echoed. “With you being the Gamma, we can finally bring things back on the right track.” Maxie still seemed overwhelmed.

There was a heated discussion among the crowd.

“I agree with Alpha Daran. Maxje is a great choice,” one soldiers said esthetically. “Baron was never around much. It was Maxie who led us through all those trainings. She is strong, smart, and experienced. I can’t think of a better person.”

“I don’t have a problem with her being our Gamma! She is way better than Baron!”

A female soldier cried feverishly, “And she will be our first female Gamma in Riverside Pack! Finally, we put a woman in charge!”

Gradually, all noises mixed together, and they became one strong and united voice. Everyone was cheering, calling the same name loudly:

“-Maxie! Maxie! Maxie!”

Maxie’s cheeks seemed to be on fire. She looked both flattered and nervous. Apparently, she hadn’t received this much attention before.

Janet noticed her embarrassment. Leaning toward Maxie, Janet whispered into Maxie’s ear, “You better agree to them now or they will keep calling your name forever.”
