“We believe you will make a great Alpha one day.” Galen told her.
“And you have already been made the Clan Alpha of the Heartsongs. Any training going forward would be specific to protecting you and your new Clan.” Kain added.
“That is, if you allow us the honor of serving you as your Elite enforcers.” Galen said.
Alora felt a little shell shocked over their revelations. Xena, however, had already decided to accept their offer. ‘Tell them yes, we accept.’
Yes, these two have a good energy about them. They are pleasant to be around.’ Selena agreed.
“They are also strong, with a potential to become far more so than they are now.’ Xena said, adding another reason to accept the offer from Kain and Galen.
Alora, after listening to Xena and Selena, nodded her head. “Alright…I’ll accept your offer.”
Behind her there was a squeal of excitement and clapping, next thing Alora knew, she was having to catch herself as Serenity slammed into her. Serenity wrapped her arms around Alora’s waist and was jumping up and down while letting loose more happy sounding squeals. Thankfully, Darien quickly moved to collect his mate back into his own arms.
“This is perfect!” She announced loudly. “This means my brothers won’t be too far away! They’ll be here for the important things in my life, and I can be there for theirs.”
Darien chuckled. “That’s good, I’m glad this makes you happy.” Darien, his arms around Serenity’s waist holding her back to his chest, leaned down and nuzzled her neck affectionately. Serenity let out another giggling squeal as she tried to wiggle away.
Kain and Galen let out defeated sounding sighs, Alora walked over and stood between the two. Lifting both hands, she patted their shoulders. “Even if you were able to get Serenity to contain herself. There is no way you would get Darien to contain himself.” Kain and Galen let out matching growls at her words and shook their heads. “Besides, she’s really happy, isn’t that what’s important?”
Kain and Galen looked at each other over Alora’s head, eventually pained looks of
up, resignation took over their expressions. Kain gripped the back of his neck and looked letting out a gust of frustrated breath.
Galen turned the other way and let out a disgruntled growl as he murmured his agreement.
Alora studied the two for a moment, before bursting into laughter. She really liked these two, they were just as entertaining as their sister.
“Have you chosen who you want to be your Elite Enforcers?” Serenity asked Darien.
Coincidentally, Lexus and Jamison chose that moment to appear, one on either side of Darien. Keeping his arms wrapped around Serenity, Darien answered by tilting his head, first to one then the other. “Lexus and Jamison, they offered a while ago, and I accepted.”
Alora looked up at Darien, her brow furrowed. “When did they do that?”
“It was the day after we had our last rank placement fight for our final exams.” Darien told her. “You were at the University that day for clinicals. I meant to tell you about it, but I forgot.”
Alora looked from Lexus to Jamison, giving them a hard look. Alora wanted to know if she could trust the safety of her best friend, and sworn brother, to these two. ‘What do you think?’ She asked Xena and Selena.
‘I don’t sense anything wrong with their wolves.’ Xena said. Although they may not be the strongest, they still have power.’
“Their spirits feel honest and loyal.’ Selena told them. I believe they will be a good fit for our brother.’
Alora nodded, accepting their opinions and reassurance of her own assessment of the two wolves. With her eyes starting to glow, Alora said, “In the future I will entrust the care and safety of my sworn brother, his mate, and any pups they may have, in your care.”
Lexus and Jamison felt power in the words Alora spoke to them. It was like the answer they were about to give, would be akin to swearing a soul binding vow to the Moon Goddess herself. Jamison had decided long ago he would become an elite enforcer for a decent Alpha. It was not a position to be taken lightly, it came with very heavy responsibilities.
Lexus had always known he would not become an Alpha of a Clan, but he always wanted to be a protector. Being the Elite
Enforcer of an Alpha was a path he felt called to, and Darien was an honorable male. Lexus felt Darien was a male he could trust his honor and loyalty to.
Jamison gave his response to Alora first. “It would be my honor to loyally serve Alpha Darien Shadowfire Moonstar as one of his
Elite Enforcers. To protect him, his mate, and any pups they may have in the future.”
Lexus followed, his own words nearly the exact same. “It would be my honor to loyally serve Alpha Darien Shadowfire Moonstar, as another of his Elite Enforcers. To protect him, his mate, and any pups they may have in the future.”
Power seemed to crackle in the air, raising the hair on everyone’s body. Lexus and Jamison felt something settle around them after Alora spoke. There was a burning sensation from each of their right wrists, and when they looked down, an image appeared on their skin. A hollow moon appeared, overlaying the bottom left of the moon, a hollow five-point star.
“The Moon Goddess has heard your vows and has marked you accordingly. So long as your vows hold true, her blessing will remain for you and any of your future progeny.” Alora’s voice echoed faintly. A moment later, the almost electric pressure in the air dissipated, and Alora’s eyes went back to normal.
There was silence in their row, and everyone was giving Alora a wide-eyed look. Glancing around Alora noticed that their row was the only one that seemed to have been a part of what just happened. ‘It would be nice if Grandma could give us a warning before she used us as an ear and mouthpiece.’ Alora lamented to Xena and Selena.
Xena and Selena didn’t respond verbally, they just sent Alora their feeling of agreement.
“So, we better get going if we want to make it back to the Moonstar Mansion in time for dinner.” Alora said in an overly bright tone of voice, turning around she started to walk towards the stairs.
