After the blessing ceremony, the air crackled with anticipation as the pack prepared for the official announcement of Ezio's ascent. Erdem, adorned in his Alpha regalia, cradled our son in his arms and ascended the elevated podium, the focal point of attention. My heart swelled with a mix of pride and anxiety as I watched them from the midst of the gathered wolves, feeling a sense of both separation and unity.
Erdem's voice boomed through the clearing, carrying the weight of authority and love. The wolves, eager to honour their future leader, erupted in a chorus of howls, their collective voices reverberating in the air, a testament to their devotion and respect. I stood amidst the crowd; my gaze fixed on the two most important beings in my life.
