IN HER EYES
The sound of howls reverberated through the hall, announcing my entrance.
Upon reaching the seat, I ascended the steps, and a hush fell upon the crowd. The Beta stepped forward, holding the ancient and sacred ring, passed down through generations. He recited ancient blessings and prayers, invoking the favor of the Moon goddess upon my reign.
With steady hands, the ring was placed round my finger—a symbol of my authority and the weight of the pack's expectations. As its weight settled upon me, I felt a surge of power, but also a profound humility. I was no longer just a wolf; I was an Alpha entrusted with the welfare of my people.
