Valerie was careful not to make the other pups feel like they were not smart enough. She knew that having Denver was the moon goddess’s blessing for all they had been through.

The higher one’s suffering, the greater the reward.

"He loves watching the warriors train, and considering the fact that it’s two Alpha genes combined, anything can happen, right?"

Her answer made sense, so no one probed further. They later went back to the backyard and, after a few hours, retired to bed.

It was not the same for the men as Alpha Troy, Alpha Idris, and Ray did not sleep early, helping Alpha Ludwig to welcome some guests to the pack house.

"You should sleep, or else, you will exhaust yourself too much," Alpha Idris advised Alpha Ludwig, adding, "we can take care of the rest for you."

Alpha Ludwig agreed, needing to look his best tomorrow. His beta, Liam, was there to give them everything needed, and it was almost midnight before they all went to bed.

The next day, Alpha Denzel and Burke were the first to arrive, and the women in the pack house went to help Raven prepare.

Alpha Denzel only met Valerie and Denver briefly before helping out Alpha Ludwig in the remaining parts of the occasion.

Raven was having the moment of her life with not only her best friend but also the women she respected and cherished so much being there for her.

This time, she did not feel like a princess as she always wanted but rather a queen. Everyone was at her beck and call, helping her with whatever she needed.

Even the pups were helping by doing all they could to get their mothers’ attention, including bawling at odd times and so on.

"Wow, I thought you looked your best when you dressed as a princess on your birthday, but now, I’m seeing a totally different beauty, Raven."

Valerie was so happy with what she was seeing. Her girls were all grown up, occupying prestigious and challenging positions.

Raven was over the moon, grateful for her mate. He was so gentle and loving towards her, but she knew he had a dark side.

For instance, two days after her joining the pack, one of the pack members disrespected her because she looked so young.

Well, Raven was not expecting it when Alpha Ludwig banished the pack member as a warning to others.

She could join other packs but never the Black Fur Pack. Raven pleaded for the said pack member, but after what happened with Alice, Ludwig knew it was better to separate the weeds from the chaff before things got out of hand.

He explained to Raven how he could grant her anything but not tolerate her subject disrespecting her. Ever since then, Raven’s love for him was beyond measure.

She felt protected and loved, which was what every woman needed.

Raven’s parents arrived with Alpha Lawn and Luna Alma, followed by other Alphas and Lunas.

The Black Fur Pack was a topic of intense discussion for anyone, Alpha or not, who had not been there for the past one year.

Even the Alpha King had attended due to the rumors of what Alpha Ludwig had done to his pack.

People attended from far and near, most people because of their desire to see the truth behind the rumors.

"The Black Fur Pack is second to the Evergreen Pack in beauty," one of the guests complimented during the coronation.

A lot of people who had visited both packs agreed. Alpha Lawn had rebuilt the Yellow Stone Pack, and it was equally very beautiful, but seeing the Black Fur Pack, he understood that he was growing old.

Luna Adira felt like there were still things she could do to enhance the beauty of her pack, and so did Ashley.

In her case, Luna Fernanda’s cottage gardens were second to none, but that was a place that most people were not allowed to be.

It was just the likes of Alpha Denzel, so no one knew about it, for which reason they had every right to judge the Black Fur Pack as the second to the Evergreen Pack.

"I agree. Perhaps Alpha Ludwig should share his secret after the coronation," another guest, who was an Alpha of one of the packs, agreed.

Alpha Denzel paid them no attention, listening to the vows that were exchanged between the couple on stage, but at that time, Denver was with him and dressed in his tuxedo, the resemblance was just intense.

"Denver looks just like his father. Seems to me that I just saw Alpha Denzel’s kiddy time," one of the Alphas said, and the others agreed.

"It’s true, but I hope he doesn’t become as ruthless as his father," another Alpha commented.

This time, Alpha Denzel turned around, gazing sharply at them with a retort.

"Oh, he’ll be worse. A lion never gives birth to a cat, if you know what I mean."

After those words, no one spoke again, and Valerie smirked as they enjoyed the coronation.

The coronation was one of the best to have been attended, and when Raven stepped out, it was as if the clouds accompanied her.

Denver went to his mother when hungry, but when Raven offered him a banana, he accepted it instead, leaving the audience gasping from shock.

However, due to Alpha Denzel’s earlier warning, they kept their comments to themselves, be they good or bad.

The pack members were so proud of Raven, and by the time the occasion was over, she was as tired as hell.

Alice was also greatly received, and soon, everyone began to leave, just as they arrived.

"Raven, you make a stunning Luna. I can’t wait to welcome your pup," her mother, Calister said. Alpha Lawn and Luna Alma smiled, but Alice was suddenly struck with shyness.

"Don’t give her pressure," Luna Alma said. Raven’s father agreed. "True. She has all the time in the world, and this pack has beaten my imagination."

Alpha Ludwig, who was beside Luna Raven, smiled. The pack was indeed beautiful, but not as beautiful as his Luna.

"Whenever the moon goddess gives us a pup, we shall be happy to inform you all," he said, and everyone laughed.

At the Evergreen Pack, Alpha Denzel allowed some time to pass before shifting his focus to his pup.

He would take Denzel to mingle with other pups in kindergarten, watching as the boy kept learning at the speed of lightning.

It was scary, as he could not determine what the future held for such a pup, especially when an incident occurred two months later during training.
