Three weeks flew by, and the next thing Aila knew, it was the day of the ritual. Unlike the royal ceremony the night after, this was a ritual only the pack members of the Silver Crescent pack and the Alpha King and Queen of the Blood Moon pack along with their Beta and Delta attended. The ritual itself was late into the evening, but Aila needed to start early in the morning in preparation.
Aila had to lead a hunt with some of the pack members, showing that she could hunt and provide for the pack. This was then followed by her hunting a predator by herself, proving herself capable of protecting the pack. It would take up a whole day to hunt and provide for a third of the pack and then find a worthy opponent to go up against. It was said Damon brought back a 1500-pound bear when he was to be throned, King.
