Chapter 0426
| open my eyes, my wolf prowling within my mind. | can feel his energy dance through me, feel it chip away at
the pain.
An Alpha Wolf born to lead - ready to take his place...
I slice my hand, thinking of what it means to be an alpha.
To protect.
To lead.
To take responsibility.
Here's to a step in my life | never thought I'd take... but one | was destined to take.
“I, Zade Toussaint, under the full moon, under the eyes of Selene herself take upon myself the responsibility of
Alpha of the newfound Shadow Moon Pack.” | slice my hand, feeling the shift in the energy aroundas a sharp
wind blows and my eyes blaze.
It worked.
‘Don’t look so surprised. You were born to be an Alpha,‘ Valerie says softly.

“I like it,” Anthony murmurs. “It's the perfect pack name.”
I now turn to my beautiful mate, taking her hand gently and creating a thin cut in her palm. She bites her lips
and | look at her sharply.
‘I'm fine,” she promises and | press my lips to her forehead gently.
“Do you, my incredible mate, Valerie Scott, take me, Zade Toussaint, as your Alpha and the Shadow Moon Pack
as your pack?”
“I do,” she answers, joining hands with me, gasping as I'm sure she felt her pack link break. No doubt we'll be
getting a call soon enough. “I accept you as my Alpha and the Shadow Moon Pack as my one true pack.”
“And do you accept the position and responsibilities of being my Luna, to rule alongsideas we lead our
pack?”
“Yes. | do.” Her eyes flash and | feel the bond strengthen, something I didn’t even think possible.
To be in the spack... to be mated... to be partners... to rule and take care of our pack together.

“Alpha, Luna.” Both men bow their heads in respect, and Valerie smiles at them before looking back at me.
| now turn to Damien, approaching him. “Do you, Damien Asden, takeas your Alpha, and pledge your fealty
toandalone?” | ask, looking at the man | will nmy beta.
“1, Damien Asden, the second of my name, pledge my fealty, loyalty and life to my Alpha, Zade Toussaint of the
Shadow Moon Pack.”
He takes the dagger fromand slices his hand before we join hands in a handshake, and | feel the pack link
form as he is joined into the pack. Keeping a hold of his hand. | look him in the eye. “And do you, Damien, accept
the position of my Beta?”
“Damn, what? Really?”
“That's not how it goes, man,” Anthony says, placing his fist to his mouth, clearly enjoying this.
“Yes. |, Damien Asden, accept the position and responsibility of being your Beta. | will not fail you.”
| feel the shift in the air as he comes into his position before I turn to Anthony. “I can only have one beta, but you
will be head of security-"
“This is so unfair. | thought | was the high-tech one?” Adriana’s voice comes from the door, making us all turn.
“I think I am as good as you,” Anthony retorts.
“Long tno see. You need to get better, then we will definitely find a spot for you too,” Damien adds, trying to
diffuse the situation.

“Well then, | want to be initiated first, at least givethat honour,” she says before staggering towards us.
Valerie rushes to her side to assist her, and Adriana smiles. “Thanks, Doctor Luna. By the way, your phone kept
going off. Seriously, if this dude Atticus is your brother, he really needs to learn how to chill the fuck out. How old
are you, fifteen?” (
She holds up the phone where she’s clearly muted the incoming calls, Valerie unlocks the phone and | can see
there are two missed calls from Zaia, one from Sebastian and several from Atticus. He's ringing her again, his
face plastered on
the screen.
“He is my brother, a very protective one.” Valerie smiles, amusement clear in her voice.

“Wanna take it?” | ask.
“No. We have pack members to initiate first,” she answers with a toss of her gorgeous hair, slipping her phone
into her pocket.
Adrianna chuckles. “I like that idea, besides a few grey hairs from stress won't damage his perfect face.” (4
“I agree.” Valerie stifles a giggle.
“Alright then, so where were we?” | ask as Adriana quickly holds her hand out, giving Anthony a scathing glare
who simply raises his hands in surrender.
| think we will get on just fucking fine...
