“Jay, I know you and your family left the pack only partially because of its leaders. That
several packmembers beat up your daughter regularly. And even more who bullied her or
mocked her. I do believe that this had something to do with the leadership” I started
because I wanted him to know that I was not making this decision light-hearted.
“I agree, and I know Ayla wanted to become the Luna of the pack still to make it better. To
have this pack thrive, but I don’t know if I like where you are going with this?” Jay was
hesitant.
And I understood why, he came from a long line of Alpha’s so he knew how this was going
to play out. Tessie, Dan, and Krystel who I all wanted to be part of this conversation all did
too. Their faces showed it all.
“You probably won’t but knowing your daughter, my mate wanted to help this pack thrive
only makes me more certain. So please Jay Hemming would you be the BloodMoon pack’s
new Alpha? Or at least for the time being because a trial will have to commence. And we
won’ t know the ou….” As I was asking Jay to take over as Alpha.
There was intense shooting pain in my skull, my hands flew up to my head. It felt like
someone was viciously pulling my hair and I wanted to slap away the hands. But everyone
in the room with me was just staring at me worried about what I was doing.
“Someone is hurting Ayla” I mumbled still clutching the back of my
head
As fast and as suddenly as I felt the pain it disappeared. Hopefully because whoever was

“This is the answer I needed, I will become the Blood Moon pack’s Alpha at least until we
have my daughter back,” Jay said standing up.
He wanted it to be over, he wanted to be the Alpha so we could start our rescue mission.
All the members had to talk to him. even if he would not use his Alpha voice. Which he
wasn’t allowed and knowing him he wouldn’t. And even with how depleted and poor the
Blood Moon pack had gotten, we would still have an army to help find Ayla. A small army
would be better than no army at all.
Since it was relatively early in the morning, we immediately gave Jay his Alpha rights. So
once again and hopefully for the last time, I used my Alpha voice to summon all the pack
members to meet in the main
room.
***
I felt no love for this pack, not ever what they had done to Ayla. Still seeing a pack small
enough that they would have been able to gather in a normal living room made me pity
them. I never understood why we were told to not speak ill about the dead. If they had not
been good people in life then why would we act like they were when they passed away?
Like Alpha Philip Birch and his mate Luna Jenna Birch, they let their pack wither away.
From what I understood from the Hemmings on several occasions.
How the Birches led the pack was the main reason for the pack’s number to dwindle as
they did. Not only did they not want Omega’s in their pack which are a vital part of the
back. There are only so many high or mediocre ranks a pack could hold. And we are pack
creatures, the bigger the pack the stronger you are. As everyone could see here at the
BloodMoon Pack. Hopefully, Jay could fulfill Ayla’s wish and make the pack thrive again.
And I hope she won’t be too mad at Krystel for not being able to be her Beta. First, though
I had to tell the pack.
“Dear members of the Blood Moon Pack,
As I have told you, and you should have felt last night David Philip Birch is no longer your
Alpha. With no living and present family members remaining in the pack you all need a
new Alpha that is not a Birch. I have spoken to all of you and neither of you had any issues
with Jay Hemming as your Alpha.
With that, the Royal family and the Council of Elder Wolves have decided that Jay
Hemmings will indeed be your new Alpha”
There is a loud roar of applause and approving howls as the new pack bond forms. So far
the only wolves who did not come to the meetings were David, Hannah, and her family.
This meant David still had a pack, but it was a small pack so in a fight we would be able to
win. The only thing was, that by the laws of the council, I had to go home to the castle
now. I had to let the new pack bond form and leave the pack alone. Without interference
from the royal family for a week.
I understood the need for this rule, I really did. But not now, I would mean a week where I
could not go look for Ayla. Of course, the Blood Moon pack would continue searching for
her. I was sure of that, especially now the pack was being led by Jay. But I noticed I was
feeling better as soon as I arrived at the Blood Moon pack.
Most likely because I was closer to Ayla now, normally a matebond shouldn’t be this
strong. Not without having completed the mating process. I do not know why our
matebond seemed to be so much stronger. After all no royal wolf had ever been in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsituation like this. What I did know was that if I felt it Ayla would too. And I would hate for
her to think that I had given up on her. Or on finding her when she would feel I was getting
further away from her again.
I wish I was able to mindlink her, but that was about the only thing we would gain from
finally completing the mating process. Then again if I had been able to mindlink her this
close. I could have just asked her if
she knew where she was. We could use the mindlink connection almost as a sonar. The
louder it would get, the easier it would be to mindlink the closer I would be to her.
Suddenly I was overcome by the fear that I would never be able to hear my mate’s
beautiful voice in my mind. My entire chest started getting tighter and tighter like my
lungs were going to implode from the pressure. My vision is blurring, like I am watching
the pack celebrated their new bond. Even the Hemmings are joining in on the
celebrations, and I got it that is what they needed to do now. To show they are going to be
good leaders to the pack. Their pack members needed to have that sense of hope.
I just didn’t have any hope left, all the voices were so loud but still I could not hear a word
they said. My legs are about to give out from under me. Something was wrong, but I did
not know if something was wrong with me or if something was happening to Ayla. Daniel
came running up to me, but he ended up going in slow motion. I tried to tell him to hurry
up but my voice didn’t come out when I opened my mouth no words came out. Before he
could reach me every everything went black. The last thing I could hear in the pitch-black
of my mind was Ayla calling out to me. That was the moment I knew something bad was
happening with her. Something I might have been able to stop if I had only found her in
time.
