It's time for the crowning ceremony! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I would love to read your comments.
When we got to the hall, my family walked ahead of me to be ushered into their seats while King Parker and I waited outside the door. When the music started, the doors opened wide and I immediately saw my mate. He was standing there with his mouth open at first, then smiled widely. I was smiling all the way down the aisle and trying not to drool over how good he looked in his black suit and royal blue tie. As soon as I reached my mate, King Parker put my hand in his and I stepped up onto the stage. He smiled at me with a tear in his eyes. He sighed, “Absolutely stunning.” I thanked him and we turned to the elder who was performing the ceremony. The elder took a deep breath and started, “Good evening, everyone. We are so happy to be blessed with a new princess. This princess is actually a true mate for Prince Luke. A rarity for all of us, indeed. I want to be the first of many tonight to welcome you and to pledge my undying support for you. May your reign be filled with happiness and l
Luke’s POV I was enjoying the sight of my mate in her reception gown when the doors to the reception hall opened. We both turned to walk in after we were announced, then a tall, thin man ran at her and my mate started falling to the floor! I caught her and picked her up bridal style. I looked at her chest and there was a knife protruding from it! I roared, “Get that fucker! He stabbed your princess!” Six guards immediately converged on him and they took him to the dungeons. I growled, “Keep him alive until I talk to him.” I ran to the palace clinic with her in my arms. When I reached the clinic, someone must have mind linked them because the royal doctor was waiting for me, “Prince Luke, please place the princess in this room.” I took her into a room and placed her on the bed as gently as possible. I started grabbing my chest, feeling the pain of the knife. Well, now I definitely know the downside to feeling everything your mate feels. I was on the verge of losing my mind when Cody ap
Sylvie POV I woke up too early the next morning. It was still dark out, but the previous day’s events kept running through my head. I remember seeing a guy take a running jump at me, then a pain in my chest, then darkness, then a doctor standing over me chuckling a little and telling the nurse, “Huh! Looks like her wolf is doing all the work for me.” I asked Nicona, “He didn’t use a silver blade. Did he?” She replied, “Nope. I had you patched up in no time. He didn’t get anywhere near your heart, either.” I smiled, “Thanks.” She responded, “No problem. I didn’t even have to break a sweat fixing this one.” I chuckled at her and asked the doctor, “Can I see my mate now?” The doctor asked, “How are you feeling?” I shrugged, “I’m okay. Just a little sore.” He nodded, “That is to be expected. You’ll need to take it easy for a couple days, but I have no doubt that you are fine. Your wolf does some really quick work.” I laughed, “That’s because she’s used to it.” The doctor just shook his he
After breakfast, we all sat in the living room, discussed the things we need to do today. I suggested, “We should interrogate that guy early so we can get home. Today is the day we have your parents over for one of my grandma’s home-cooked meals. She’s going to want to start working on that soon.” Grandma chimed in, “Don’t you worry about me, sweetie. I can get your grandpas to take me back this morning while you are doing what you need to do. Don’t you let me hold you up. I know you won’t be late for it.” Every man in the room, including Luke, shook their heads, “No way.” I just shook my head and laughed. After we saw the ones who chose to go back leave, we joined King Parker and walked to the dungeons. As we approached my attacker, I had to control my breathing and try not to lose my cool. I wanted to see if I could find out what this guy’s issue is before losing my cool. When we got to his cell, I could tell the guards had roughed him up a little on the way down there and maybe a c
King Parker looked at Zion with curiosity, “How can you help us with them?” Zion smiled, “I was approached by my sister, Misty to work for them. I know she is dead, but she introduced me to them before she died. I almost went to them after she was killed, but then I found out that they killed her.” I asked, “What did Misty want you to do for them?” He replied, “I was supposed to throw some wolfsbane grenades. They want to capture a bunch of different supernaturals for experimentation. They want a male and female hybrid. Misty insisted that it be you two because of what happened with my grandparents.” I shook my head, “Seriously? I really wish people would take responsibility for their own actions and put blame where it truly belongs.” Zion responded, “I’m learning that the hard way. I want to thank you, princess. I know you didn’t have to be this lenient on me. I truly appreciate it. I also want to thank you, King Parker. You didn’t have to take her suggestion, but you did.” King Parke
We called for everyone to come to the conference room and Blaze stood up front, “We just intercepted a message from the guild to the hunters here in Hartsel. It reads, ‘Received word of multiple targets. We will be there to start planning in six days. We have to travel under the radar. We will be bringing the whole guild and our equipment. Purchase a building in human territory that will be big enough for all of us and the equipment.’ I will be bringing in another fifty of my warriors.” I gasped, “Shit. We’re going to need as many warriors as we can get. We should prepare for war.” King Parker and Queen Zara arrived during the reading of the message. King Parker nods, “We have three hundred warriors ready to go. We just need to train with the rest of your warriors and develop a plan.” I sighed, “We also need to schedule a mandatory meeting with the kingdom. There needs to be a plan to evacuate those who will not be fighting. I would highly recommend evacuating them via portal or telep
Cedric asked, “So are you saying that Luke’s powers complement yours?” I nodded, “They have since we found we are mates.” He asked, “True mates are such a rarity and a blessing. How do the two of you complement each other in magic?” I replied, “He is horrible with Earth manipulation, so when I do this, he casts a spell to paralyze those who are caught on it. When I open a crevasse in the earth, he fills it with fire.” He nodded in appreciation, “How did you use this?” I laughed, “We put it around the perimeter of the pack in Florida. As soon as the rogues hit it, they started bouncing uncontrollably, then Luke would cast the spell to paralyze them. Then we have the option of capturing or killing them. That’s how we caught the hunters in Florida.” He smiled, “That’s really a very good idea. I really think we should use this.” I responded, “I just don’t know what would happen if vehicles hit it.” He laughed, “Well, the heavier they are the higher they will bounce. I would think that they
We walked into the conference room and found King Parker with the rest of the alliance sitting around the table. We all took our seats and King Parker started speaking, “Well, everyone, it’s looking like the hunters are moving faster than expected. Our gaming friend has informed us that they have already bought a warehouse in the human town of Canon City. That’s only an hour from here. He also found out that they are trying to find more supernaturals to be able to be a mole for them. We were able to verify that the gamers who he is friends with are humans who do not even believe we exist. He plays a game where there are supernaturals at war. That’s why they think the whole thing is just talking about game play. We are doing our best to make them believe that this is all a game and that their search is game related.” Cedric asked, “Were you able to send anyone to the warehouse to verify that what they are saying is true?” King Parker nodded, “One of our scouts who knows Canon City very
