Everyone gathered under the moon light, it was a large gathering as the whole of Alpha Christian's pack and the Elder Council as well as Ant and Casey were there, but also as with any official alliance an out side witness was required so Alpha Christians most honoured Allie was also in attendance with his Luna Beta and Gamma.
Alpha Ashford was a very intimidating looking man with his large frame shaved head and generally grumpy exterior however it very much disappeared when he smiled making him look jolly but demand authority as an alpha should. His Luna being a small slim lady who seldom ever spoke always looked thoughtful.
Alpha Ashford so pleased you could all attend on such short notice smiled Alpha Christian.
As I know you would for me Christian I couldn't very well refuse He grinned Besides if your taking such a strong union with another Alpha I can only assume I will want an alliance too so best to start on good grounding he said now I am in attendance I assume I can know who this Alpha is and which pack they are? not to meantion why it's in a rush and so hush hush that none out side those in attendance are to know of this just yet?
Alpha Christian who had known such questions would come about nodded of course, please Alpha Ashford go with my Beta Dan who will brief you on the situation and tonights union, we must begin in ten minutes so I must finish preparing, please do excuse me for not doing it personally with that Dan lead him away to the office and Christian went to check on Ant and ensure everything was ready.
When the time came all that was on the centre stage was Ant Christian and Elder Montgomery. Everyone else stood surrounding them and Christian was pleased to see his allie stood front and center, or at least as much as possible in the circle, showing his support for tonights union.
It was a short ceremony Elder Montgomery gave to necessary initial speach telling everyone why they were there and that he was proud to be the Elder blessings the alliance.
Then It was Ants turn he stood facing Christian, I pledge my allegiance in all matters to you Alpha Christian, I acknowledge you as my equal in all ways, I swear future endeavours regarding my pack will be discussed and agreed with you. he said very faithfully and sliced down his palm holding it out to Christian who echoed his words and actions. They both gripped hands as an alpha would passing his rights to the new alpha.
Both seemed to glow in the moonlight and the air it's self shifted looking up they could see the moon was once again a full moon glowing proudly over them causing everyone to gasp the full moon had passed as a blood moon it was not yet time for it to appear whole again and yet there it was.
The pack commenced a celebration meal which both Ant and Christian were very pleased about as a sudden insatiable Hunger took over them.
Once seated Alpha Ashford stepped to Ant and Casey , my pack will be stood awaiting news tomorrow please should you need help in your endeavours know you can call on us. such disgraceful actions should not go unpunished, I look forward Alpha Ant to our seating to form allegiance with your much improved pack. From how high in regards Alpha Christian and his Beta Dan hold you I'm sure you will be one we will be proud to call Allie. with that he shook Ants hand.
I'm afraid it's something you will need to wait for Alpha Ashford as I have agreed with Alpha Christian that he will take initial control of my pack as well as proceedings against my farther and his comrades. I will be taking back over once I have completed Alpha training with Christian as I didn't have chance previously and wish to be the best I can be and have a strong pack. I believe tonights union to be a very positive step to that goal. He spoke trying to sound confident and be polite he didn't want Alpha Ashford thinking in two days time he'd be ready to start forming allies for his pack as it was something he didn't really know anything about.
Alpha Christian already feeling the effects of the bond stepped to Ants side. I'm sure an alliance will be in the making soon enough, maybe for a starting point we could make Ants pack now my sister pack an extension of our agreement Alpha Ashford allowing quick alliance and giving time for friendships to grow so that a firm separate agreement can be made when times are stable. he said giving him a smile and clapping him on the back. Now let's eat and get to resting as tomorrow is to be a long taxing day so festivities will need to be cut short. I assure you proper celebration will occur when Ants pack and your own can also be in attendance Alpha Ashford he said with a laugh when he saw a sulking face start to form Alpha Ashford sure did enjoy his parties and even more so if he felt he raised his pack in the process.
Ant mindlinked Christian thank you, I did not know what to say for the best there. he said sounding like he wanted to slap his own face. Christian chuckled He's someone you will learn to deal with in time, to be fair he's one the toughest alphas in the area having his support will hold weight with the other packs so his interest is a good thing if ill timed he laughed away. Ant just nodded I'm feeling very drained would it be of insult if I went to my room to rest up? he asked Not at all I'm calling things to an end in half an hour when everyone has had chance to eat we all need our rest. I'll see you in the morning he confirmed and continued with greetings and checking bon all those in attendance.
Casey stepped to his side as he was about to exit and gave her brother a big hug. I'm so proud to be your sister she whispered in his ear, good night. then she turned to Ricks and they also exited to go to their room for the night.
Ant went to bed with the day swirling in his head as well as possible out comes for tomorrow, falling to a surprising piecefull sleep.
