Chapter 222: Becoming a Member

[Where are we going] Linking his mate, Ashton asked.

[Don’t worry, we are not going anywhere suspicious] Caleb replied right before they took the stairs.

As Mr. Wrisberg led the way, Caleb, Ashton and Riley followed him. They ended up two floors above and down the corridor there was a huge hall as if it was designed for gathering. How come this was not the place they had their gatherings at? Ashton wondered.

“Usually when we accept someone new on the pack we hold a tiny ceremony for the council members, but we don’t have time.” Mr. Wriserg declared. Riley seemed to be more aware of the process than Ashton was given he was beta of his designated pack. As for Ashton this might be the first time he was ever going to be a part of the pack.

Mr. Wrisberg sensing Ashton’s confusion called Riley first to the podium at the center. They joined their right hand before Mr. Wrisberg asked out loud. “Are you certain you want to be a member of the Crescentile Pack?”

“Yes,” Riley declared. It was quite for a few more seconds before Mr. Wrisberg declared that they were done.

“That’s it?” Ashton whispered before looking at Caleb.

.....

[He is gonna ask you a few questions, make sure to answer them properly.] Caleb chuckled in his head.

[He only asked one] Ashton reminded.

[Out loud. Get ready to have my Dad in your head.] Caleb teased.

Mr Wrisberg motioned Ashton to take Riley’s place as he stepped down the podium. Ashton found his heart rate rise as he did so and followed the same suit. Just like with Riley they joined their right hands and Mr. Wrisberg asked, “Are you certain you want to be a member of the Crescentile Pack?”

“Yes,” Ashton declared.

A few seconds later he heard in his head [Do you swear to treat this pack as your family and come to it’s aid when required?] He was asked. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

[I swear] Ashton declared with utmost determination.

[Then I, Arthur Wrisberg, the Alpha of Crescentile Pack, accept you in this pack on behalf of every member of this pack. You may be allowed to link other’s now] He declared and let go. “It’d done”

Ashton turned to look at his mate who held a smile filled with adoration which only made Ashton sure of his decision. Suddenly he felt like a sensation on his head that was impossible to put words to. It was similar to when something got stuck on your throat, but instead your throat it was in his mind. “What’s wrong?” Caleb asked as he struggled to breathe.

“My head.. Something feels weird” Ashton admitted.

“Ah... let it in,” Caleb smiled at him.

“What”? Ashton frowned as he struggled to breathe further.

“I am saying, let it in,” Caleb tried again. “My brother, I told him you are done so he is verifying by trying to link you”.

“Okay... but how”? Ashton asked. “How do I let him in?” He asked.

“Just stop fighting it and relax.” Caleb instructed, Ashton tilted his head so Calebs said, “Take a deep breath.... And relax”.

Ashton nodded and did as he was asked. He tried not to resist the feeling and once it was completely gone he heard, [Finally. Next time make sure you respond fast]

[Okay] is all Ashton replied before his mind was empty of any intrusion again.

“This felt... different than it did with yours,” Ashton mumbled as they got out of the room.

“Of course it did, mate bond and pack bonds are different. You didn’t know?” Caleb asked his mate.

“I knew it was gonna be different. I didn’t exactly know how,” Ashton mumbled. Caleb raised his eyebrows so he continued. “The last time I linked anyone was my parents when I was around nine. I think, as I grew up my resistance increased.”

“That happens,” Caleb nodded in agreement.

“Yeah” Ashton whispered. “I guess that’s why it feels so weird.”

“Don’t worry, you will get used to it” Caleb assured his mate as he patted his back. “I checked with Christian. He said the van will be here any minute. I’ll bring Connor and everything. I know you two aren’t exactly on best terms right now, but I would really appreciate it if you... kept him safe”.

“Of course I will,” Ashton blurted in a minute. “There is no way I won’t. I’ll look out for everyone else”.

“And if...” Caleb breathed. “And if things get overwhelming, call me. I know you don’t wanna shift right now-”

“Doesn’t matter,” Ashton declared. “I’ll do everything in my power to keep them safe and protected. Caleb let out a smile and gave him a nod.

“Ashton” Suddenly they heard someone call, making them hald. Turning around they realised that it was none other than Sebastian. “Hi, I am not sure if you know who I am...” Ashton shook his head lightly to convey that he didn’t. “My name is Sebastian. And I... I wanted to thank you”.

“Me?” Ashton frowned out of confusion.

“Yeah. When I first arrived here I was attacked. After I joined the pack I found out it was you who came to my rescue. Thanks for saving my life back then”. Sebastian extended his hand to shake. Ashton took a moment before shaking his hand. Giving Ashton a slight nod, Sebastian disappeared.

“Guess what, my brother likes him” Caleb chuckled once he was out of their sight.

“I can imagine why,” Ashton mumbled. Caleb jerked his head to look at Ashton so he continued. “I mean he is hot” He shrugged and soon Caleb’s look turned into a glare. “Of course, not as hot as you. But you know Christian can’t like you since you are my mate... and his brother. That would be weird, so he likes him” Ashton rambled on getting flustered by the minute.

“Just... don’t” Caleb shook his head as he cringed. “Remember that, and... make sure you come back this time” Caleb declared. “Or I will hunt your ghost if I have to” He threatened.

“I wouldn’t dare” Ashton declared.
