Alpha Darius's POV
The moon hung high in the night sky as I led Justin through the territory of the Ocean Shadow Pack. The air was thick with anticipation, and my pack members had gathered to welcome back the heir to our alpha lineage. Justin, however, clung to me with a mixture of uncertainty and sadness.
As we approached the heart of our territory, the pack's celebration echoed through the night. Music, laughter, and the scent of a feast filled the air. It was a welcome home party befitting the return of my son, Justin.
"Welcome home, Alpha Justin!" The pack members cheered as we entered the clearing. Banners adorned with the Ocean Shadow Pack emblem fluttered in the breeze, and the atmosphere was charged with excitement.
I held Justin close, attempting to share in the joy that surrounded us. "Look, my son, they are here to celebrate your return."
