It was the giggling from Lissanna and the coughing fit from Boris that reminded the pair that they had an audience. Ember felt her face flush hotly, and a ruddy color spread across Andrew’s cheeks.
“Like a newly mated couple you two are.” Lissanna teased.
Ember sent a glare Lissanna’s way, but it lacked any real heat. “Like we haven’t caught you two necking a few times before.”
This only sent Lissanna into another fit of giggles while Boris put his hands over his face and let out a groan: Andrew laughed at his friend and Beta’s reaction to Ember’s teasing. Patting Boris on the shoulder, Andrew said amusedly, “Don’t worry friend, our females will eventually find other ways to both embarrass and torture us.”
Lifting his head from his hands, Boris gave Andrew an annoyed side glare. “That does not help me in this situation, nor provide me much comfort in my thoughts of our future. What kind of Alpha are you?”
Andrew grinned widely. “An honest one?”
Boris let out an annoyed growl. “Thanks for your honesty.” His tone rife with sarcasm.
Andrew chose to ignore his sarcasm and replied in a deliberately cheery tone. “You’re welcome.’
??
Lissanna and Ember were both laughing so hard by this point they were holding their stomachs.
Andrew looked at the two females before turning to Boris, raising an amused brow. Boris shook his head and looked down at his own mate. A moment later his frown turned into a soft and loving smile. Even though her reason for laughing was at him, it still made Boris happy to see his mate laugh so freely. Andrew knew intimately this feeling and looked at his own mate to bask in her joy and amusement.
Alpha Andrew offered up a prayer to the Moon Goddess, his wish for his sons the ability to experience this blessing one day with their own fated mates. His prayer to the Moon Goddess brought his thoughts back to Alora. The female pup had experienced more trials than any pup should have to face. He hoped that his son Damien would be able to heal the wound that scarred
Alora’s very soul.
“This wraps up the last rank advancement challenge for today. Tomorrow’s battles of the Senior Class fight exam will be in defending your new or already established fighter ranks. Parents and family will be allowed back to witness these battles as well.
Up on the screens we have the new rankings as a result of today’s challenges on display. Congratulations to all those who were able to advance today. Thank you to all who joined us today, we hope everyone has a great evening!”
With the announcement, the laughter of Ember and Lissanna stopped, and a seriousness took over their expressions. Now that the fights had ended, there were other things that needed to be done. Boris and Lissanna were going to join Matthew as he confronted Sarah’s three friends. If black magic was in play with those three females, Andrew trusted Boris to manage what needed to be done next..
Andrew and Ember’s next moves were to join their son, his new mate, and Alora. Alora’s
things had to be collected from the Northmountain’s safely. For that to happen, Andrew planned to join his son in providing the distraction Alora needed to quickly pack all she needed for her move. Soon Alora would be a resident of the Moonstar Mansion.

“Finally!” Darien said loudly as he jumped up from his seat and grabbed his bag.
Alora chuckled at Darien’s enthusiasm at the announcement telling them they were done for the day. Folding her hoodie, she stuffed it into her bag before swinging it onto her shoulder. Then she quickly dodged out of the way of Serenity who had bounded up the stairs. Serenity literally threw herself at Darien who laughed as he caught her, swinging her around a few times before setting her down.
Behind her, Kain and Galen growled in annoyance over their sister’s wild actions. Alora smiled, amused by it all, she liked how
Serenity was so free with Darien. Darien and Serenity were practically glowing with happiness as they clung to each other.
Thinking of giving them a little more time to revel in each other, Alora turned to Kain and Galen. “So how does it feel to join the ranks of the Alpha Class fighters?” She asked.
As she hoped, this line of questioning took Kain and Galen’s attention off their sister. With a wide smile Galen was the first to respond. “It’s great, now we qualify for elite enforcer training with the Pack Guard.”
Alora smiled. “Is that what you both wanted?”
Kain, smiling as well, nodded. “It’s been a dream of ours since we were just tiny pups to one day become the Elite enforcers for a powerful and respectable Alpha.”
Alora nodded, she felt happy for the two. “Have you decided on the Alpha you would like to serve yet?”
Galen, with a serious but lighthearted expression, said. “We believe we have.”
Alora raised her brows in surprise. “Oh, you have, have you?” she asked, looking back and forth from Kain to Galen. “Can I ask who it is, or is that too personal?”
Galen chuckled and shook his head. “Normally it would be, but seeing as the Alpha we want to serve is you, you’re allowed to ask.”
Alora blinked, she hadn’t expected that answer. “Me?”
Kain nodded, looking earnest. “Yes, you.”
With her brow furrowed in confusion, Alora asked, “Why me?”
