The boisterous festivities, the raucous laughters, the spectacular dance and music were suddenly brought to halt by a loud howl. Everyone turned their head towards the source, only to find a figure standing there, in the air.

The figure said to be the Patriarch was a blond middle aged man with a short beard, wearing a long coat with furry collar. The atmosphere he exuded felt extremely wild, as if a savage animal had appeared.

The Patriarch of Wolf Bloodline, gave the same aura as strong as someone like Grand Magus Zenoia who was already at the peak of her realm.

Chief Beowlf immediately walked towards the patriarch as the man descended to the ground.

"Patriarch Lucius, welcome to the white fang clan!"

The hundreds or so people currently in the place swiftly went onto their knees with their head lowered. The sight of people simultaneously kneeling stunned Emery for a moment, before he quickly followed them.

"Raise, my people."

The sonorous voice of the patriarch gave a chill to Emery. The simple words coming out of the patriarch's mouth gave a sensation of absolute command, causing him to unconsciously follow the,.

Everyone swiftly got on their feet again, but still kept their heads slightly lowered. After that, 20 people, both male and female, walked to the front and directly gave their bow to the patriarch.

Emery could faintly see and recognize a few of them, which were important people of the clan. Therefore, he assumed the rest also held an important post in the clan, or were even pack leaders themselves.

"We are truly honored by your presence, Patriarch."

Right after, Emery saw a ceremony was about to be held. He could only look around in confusion, oblivious to the events occurring around him. Fortunately, Tatjana was kind enough to explain it to him.

The first thing that would be held was the appointment of a new alpha of the clan. With the addition of a new alpha, it also meant a whole new pack was approved to be included into the White Fang.

Emery could definitely see the excitement and joyful expression on several people's faces when a man was received as the new pack leader. It was apparent the White Fang Clan was one of the top elites of the Wolf Clan and successfully entering it was an honor.

The ceremony ended with bonding between all the other pack leaders. They all turn shoulder to shoulder before start howling together.

The second thing appeared to be the main event of this gathering, its content in Emery's opinion was quite intriguing. One of the pack leaders was apparently challenging Chief Beowlf for the leadership position.

Everyone created an empty space in the clearing, giving the two people enough space to fight. Music instruments started to be played again, as the two began their brawl.

Tatjana was quite thrilled with the fight, "Chief Beowlf is a veteran rank 6 Ice Wolf while the challenger, his second in command, Heorgar, is a rank 6 Demon wolf. This will be a very exciting fight!!"

Alas, Tajana quickly took her words back, as the battle ended surprisingly fast, with the chief emerging as the winner. From the start until it finished, Heorgar could not do anything, as he was beaten black and blue by the chief using his ice-covered claws.

Afterwards, Emery discovered that this fight could be said to be a yearly occurrence. As the strength he possessed grew stronger as the years passed by, Heorgar would always challenge the chief, trying to become the alpha of the clan

Although Heorgar has been defeated many times. However, the Demon Wolf is a Wolf Bloodline that has the potential of reaching rank 7. It appears everyone in the clan knew that the chief had been doing this as a way to train Heorgar.

The fierce duel that usually ended with deep hatred, ended with laughs and smiles from both sides. The sight of the bloodied Heorgar hugging Chief Beowlf was truly the adept presentation of heartwarming brotherhood, which could be openly seen by all.

"Next is our cue, Emery."

The chief gave a signal and Tatjana quickly grabbed Emery's arm before he could process anything. His body was being dragged to the front, where Brutus, Andrei and the other 20 acolytes were also called upon.

The patriarch appeared to look at each of the acolytes for a second, as if trying to mark each of them. He continued until his eyes fell on Emery.

Emery suddenly felt a force coming out of nowhere, commanding him to look at the patriarch. The moment his eyes met the two bright yellow eyes, he was stunned. He felt the patriarch's eyes seemed able to see deep into his thoughts.

The next thing Emery saw shocked him. The patriarch lifted his head, staring towards the moon. His body slowly transformed into a golden-furred wolf that emanated supreme aura. The wolf then howled to the sky.

This piercing howl seemed to pierced deep into his mind and, without him realizing, Emery's body started to turn as well. His grey fur, which only appeared when he transformed, began to emerge on his skin. The transformation process continued until his body turned into the familiar grey figure.

While still confused by his sudden transformation, Emery realized everyone without exception was slowly changing into their wolf form as well.

[Fey Transformation]

Emery transformed without his command, although not a second stage transformation, he still lost control of his body.

Immediately after, all the transformed wolves lifted their heads simultaneously and started howling together, continuously.

The barrage of howling went on for some time until the patriarch stopped and everyone else returned to their former self.

As for Emery, he felt the experience was quite mystifying. Emery could feel there's a change in his body.

He then realized a notification had appeared in his mind.

[You have received the Mark of the Golden Wolf!]

[Battle Power has permanently increased by two points!]

[Increased resistance against Poison, Disease]

"Welcome to the family." the Patriarch said to the new members: the acolytes and the newly joining packs. "Those are my welcoming gift for you all new member of the clan"

Apparently, it wasn't just him, the patriarch just gave all the new members a permanent buff through such a ritual.

While Emery was still in his amazement, The patriarch turned his gaze to Emery, "Master Altus has told me about you. Come... walk with me."

Emery followed the patriarch into the woods, while the others continued the party.
