Eira's POV
The ceremony began with solemn dignity.
Evan stood at the center of the grand hall as the royal prayer to the Moon Goddess was offered. The chants echoed through the vast space, ancient and powerful, wrapping around the walls like a blessing woven from generations past.
After the prayer, he stepped forward to receive blessings from the elders of his pack. One by one, they approached him, placing their hands over his head or shoulders in symbolic acceptance.
Then came the Alphas from other packs.
A declaration followed. Evan was formally acknowledged as the heir of the HollowCrest Pack.
The hall erupted in applause.
Gifts were presented next. Rare artefacts, precious metals, heirloom weapons, and treasures that spoke of alliances and respect were laid before him.
The ceremony slowly transitioned into celebration.
Music filled the air. Musicians took their places. The rigid structure of tradition gave way to warmth and festivity.
