“We are here today to join this Luna and Alpha in ceremony, officially beginning a new era of Golden Warrior Pack.” He lowered his arms, waving us forward as someone brought a golden bowl that was dented so badly it looked like it had been through a hailstorm. He procured a dagger from a sheathe, the hilt porcelain and the blade also made of gold. It gleamed in the light of the sunset, looking sharp and inviting.
“Ashton Laramie, are you ready to uphold your alpha duties and protect your pack, even if it means giving up your life?” Ashton nodded, clearing his throat.
“I am, Elder.” He nodded, turning to me.
