~Jenna~

"Are you afraid?" I asked while my hands clamped around his and my other on his arm. Our feet crushed dried leaves while the wind blew ice cold air. "I mean-are you nervous?"

"Why would I be? It's our pup, their next Alpha. Why should I be nervous? Nervous they won't accept him?" I look up to him and see him looking ahead while he holds Valdus closer to his side.

"Yeah-"

"Jenna." He looks down at me, "if my pack is ever second thinking about their new Alpha, our child, why should they even be in a pack?" I stare into his eyes and he sighs. He looks away and stares straight walking us down to the podium. "Why would any of pack members be nervous about our pup? I gave them my life to protect them. I may be called ruthless, heartless, and the most feared, but I would always protect my pack, and my family. No second thought about that. Always." He stares down at me and give me small smile.

I give him one back and stand on my toes and peck the side of his mouth. "It was just a question." I leaned on him while I saw the podium ahead with both sides of the territory sitting or some standing.

"It was just an answer."

When they heard us they all snapped their head towards us and quickly stood. The warriors on the side of the podium kneel down with their head bowed, while the rest of the pack bowed their heads. I saw Helmer and see him smiling up at me and looked over to Alcander and Valdus. His smile grew and he stood, but the rest of warrior remain kneeling. "Alpha, Luna." He said while gave a quick bow.

"Helmer." I smile. I give him a hug and pull back. "Where's Angelia?" His smiles grows and he looks to the right of me. I see her in the front looking up with her beautiful eyes. I give her a small nod and she gives one back. I look to the left of her and see Wilson. I smile at him and he smiles and shows his teeth while I see his eyes tear at the sight of Valdus.

I roll my eyes and that's when Alcander walks up the steps. Janet is there and she's jumping on her toes. Zelix is there and moving with Janet because her arm is linked with his. His smile never goes away while hers reaches her ears. I walk over to her and give her a hug and she almost screamed in my ear but she quickly slammed her mouth shut. I shake my head and give a low chuckle and then walk over Zelix and give a hug.

"Congratulations Luna." He whispers in my ear. That makes my smile grow big as I pull away. "Thank you Zelix." He nods at me and pulls back Janet.

"You all may be seated." Alcander says and I look over to the crowd and see them quick seat but some stand since there is not enough seats. Alcander hands me over Valdus and I'm so thankful he doesn't make a fit. He starts to play with my hair and squill in my ear.

"I like to thank you all for coming to have a look at your next Alpha. And thank you for not coming and asking for our pup since you heard that your Luna has delivered him. And I'm sorry that I haven't been there for the last mouth to training or to check around the boundaries, if you have a pup, you'll understand." Some wolves chuckle at that comment while Alcander joins in. "Anyway, we came here to celebrate your next Alpha into this pack." He looks over to me and calls me over. I walk towards him and smile at the crowd.

I hand him over to Alcander and I receive a little peck on my check. "This is our pup. Valdus. Alpha Valdus." His voice is strong and proud. Everyone looks at Valdus and they all stare at him with aw and I can't help but look at both of my boys the same. "At age eighteen he would receive the title of this pack. He would carry on our legacy and continued to be the most powerful Alpha out there. Through out his years of being a pup and then go into his teenage stage, I expect you all not to favorite him. Let him earn your respect. Just because he's your next Alpha, that doesn't mean to favorite him in anything. He should earn every title. An Alpha should earn every title and not be given it. And with us." He look towards me and he smiles, "at age eighteen he would be given the title of Alpha, because he earned it. He earned this pack."

They all clap and yell at the end of his speech. I lean against him and my smile never leaves my face. He turns towards me but I was the first one to bring him down and land my lips on his. I smile into the kiss and wrap my arms around his neck. I laugh when I fell Valdus pull on my hair and then my ear. He laughs when he pulls me away from Alcander.

"Jealous." Alcander mumbles into his side of his head which makes him giggle. I can't help but chuckle. Alcander laughs too but I wrap myself around his broad chest and move with his laugh.

We step down while Alcander go introduces Valdus to everyone. I walk over to Helmer and Angelia and purposely bump my shoulder into Helmer. He growled and turned around and was about to yell but once he saw it was me his shoulders sagged and his arms went around me and gave me a hug.

"Hey to you to Helmer." I laugh as he pulls away. I go to hug Angelia but I'm pulled away and my face gets pushed into a chest. I roll my eyes and give him a hug back.

"Hey Wilson."

"How'd you know it's me?" He pulls away while he wraps a arm around his mate.

"You're the only person I know who smells like strawberries." I smile.

His eyes grow wide, "I do?!" He looks down to his mate, "I smell like strawberries?!" She nods while she laughs. "I smell like strawberries!!" He yells while we laugh.

I go to hug his mate and she congratulates me as I say thank you. I hug Angelia, and she whispers in my ear. "I might be too, I'm not sure, but don't tell Helmer." My eyes grow wide and she stares at me hard. I nod my head and she smiles. "Congratulations Jenna."

"I'll talk to you guys later, I have to find my son and my mate." I wink at Angelia as she sends a glare to me. I wave them good bye and walk past groups which they all congratulate me. I finally found both of them with Zelix and Janet who's holding him while crying.

I roll my eyes and wrap my arms around him. "Hey." He says.

"Hey." He pulls my in front of him while he rest his chin on the top of my head. My back is against his chest as I watch Janet cry while she plays with his hair. I shake my head and lick my lips.

"So what now?" He ask. I look up to him and see him staring down at me. I give him a smile and look back to Valdus.

"Watch our pup grow."
