Valerie felt slightly shy after Denzel’s display of affection at Raven’s party but turned to face him.

Alpha Denzel seized the opportunity and kissed her on the lips. Valerie shyly responded to the kisses, her embarrassment worsening when everyone began clapping for them.

"Alpha Denzel and Luna Valerie are exceptional. Luna brings out the best in Alpha," one of the pack members in attendance said aloud, and the rest agreed.

"It’s true. Alpha used to be so cold, but now he’s mostly warm."

They were such a beautiful couple to behold, but Valerie had not forgotten Alpha Denzel’s words and asked seriously, "What is the good news?"

A smile thinned Alpha Denzel’s lips as he revealed, "Don Calvin was murdered in his car a moment ago by my assassin."

He showed her the proof on his phone, and Valerie’s joy heightened. Ashley deserved justice, and she was grateful to Denzel for giving it to her.

"That’s indeed good news. We need to celebrate when evil is brought to book," Valerie retorted, looking around for one of the waiters to serve her a glass of champagne when Alpha Denzel spoke up.

"You are right, but we need to celebrate more when rewarding the good," he reminded her. Valerie agreed, a smile blooming on her face.

"You are right."

"It’s time to cut the cake, and the birthday twins are requesting the presence of Alpha Denzel and Luna Valerie."

The two went to join Raven and Ray in cutting the cake, together with their parents, Alpha Lawn and Luna Alma.

Who could imagine that former rogues would have this great opportunity? Well, things like this only happen as a result of selflessness.

They drank and ate, danced, and enjoyed all the fun activities.

Just as they arrived, the guests began to leave one by one when everything was over. It turned out to be a saddening moment for everybody.

Nothing lasted forever, and there was always a time for everything.

"Raven and Ray, I hope you remain loyal to the Evergreen pack. I have seen that you are well taken care of, so though I’m happy, free, and capable now, I still think that it’s best for you to stay here," their father said, and the twins agreed.

"Yes, Dad, we love you, but we love it here. This pack is amazing, and Alpha Denzel and Luna Valerie have been so good to us," Raven said.

Their mother could not hold back her joyful tears. They had once given up on ever being pack members again, but then their children appeared with a dying man.

Who knew their lives were going to turn around because of this singular act?

"Alright. We shall leave now, but Alpha Lawn promised us phones. As soon as we receive them, we shall begin to call you."

The twins were neither happy nor saddened. They all got comfortable homes to live in, and none of them missed the life they had before.

They were also grown, not desiring to live with their parents when they have been able to live on their own under the Alpha and Luna’s supervision so far.

As soon as they left, somebody else spoke up. "Alpha Denzel, I am very grateful for this opportunity. I hope that you come to visit us anytime soon," Alpha Ludwig said confidently.

Since there was nothing to hide, he would welcome Alpha Denzel to his pack at any time, with or without prior notice.

Alpha Denzel nodded his head, and they shook hands as he advised. "When you gather enough resources and don’t know where to invest, just give me a call," Alpha said.

Ludwig left with a smile on his face, certain that the future was going to be brighter than the past.

Raven and Ray returned to a room full of gifts; it was the best day of their lives.

The next day, Alpha Denzel began to structure all trainings, taking advantage of the massively improved warriors.

He would have to devote more time to the weakest. Some of those turned out to be the strongest as soon as they shifted or got a hint of exactly what was going on.

Being slow did not mean that one was useless in the Evergreen pack. Everyone blossomed at different times and seasons.

"Raven, you shall no longer join the group training but have a private one rotated between me and Val. When you are not training, you shall focus on the herbs as well as teach your brother to take over whenever you are not around.

"Val and I shall be attending Ashley’s coronation, but as soon as we return, you shall spend a month at the Yellowstone pack planting and teaching them about herbs."

Raven was very happy since her parents were at the Yellowstone pack, but Ray felt a little left out without his twin sister. However, Alpha Denzel was quite sensitive and explained the second part.

"Within the one month, you would come here for a week and would be replaced by your brother."

The twins smiled at each other, happy they would both get to spend some time with their parents at the Yellowstone pack.

"That is fair. Thank you, Alpha Denzel," Ray said honestly.

Training continued, and Alpha Denzel was now producing more leaders, putting them in charge of smaller groups.

With time, he would be able to leave training in Burke’s hands, so he could schedule one-on-one training later for all the warriors.

There was also something very different going on. There was more happiness than sternness among the warriors, making it all seem like they were one happy family.

Alpha Denzel recalled that Valerie and Alice were in the woods and decided to check on them. It was necessary for him to equally understand the strength of their powers, so he decided to pay them a surprise visit since they would be leaving the next day for Ashley’s coronation.

Reaching the woods, he almost mind-linked the whole pack to open all the waterways before understanding what was going on.
