บท 159: Inside the quarters

After the Branding was done, we waited for the elevator so Channing could register me and have me meet with the elders. I thought the branding was like how in old times they did one with a hot iron. Not that it would have mattered to me. My abilities would have healed it immediately.

But this branding was done in a different way, like a tattoo that was carved with Channing's blood. There was a type of blood bond that formed between us after that. Something like between an Alpha and the Beta where my loyalty was supposed to be bound to Channing from now on. It was not the same as the blood loyalty bond that Channing had asked from the eight pack members who had betrayed Channing by following John Walter. 

Turned out John never got his branding renewed when Channing became the Alpha and John, who had continued since the time of Channing's father, kept the branding of Mr Collins instead of getting one with Channing's blood.
