Chapter two(The coronation)

The person's pov:

She closed her eyes as her past came rushing into her mind, she bit hard on her lips to avoid sobbing, she bit out blood from her lips due to how hard she was trying to control her tears. She was brought back to reality due to the pain caused by the piercing of her nails to her skin, she shook her head and stared at her reflection in the mirror.

"Today is my day, so all I need to do is be happy and enjoy myself. Everything that happened in the past has already been forgotten and left in the past,"  she mumbled.

She picked up the powder on her dressing table and applied it to her face. She ties her hair in a ponytail and puts on her heels, she is truly a beauty to behold. 

"My baby, congratulations on your surprise," Juliet shouted to Juliana as she pulled the door open. This is her best friend, the only girl that has decided to be with her despite her mysterious power and stigma attached to her, after being dismissed from her former pack. 

After years of wandering in the woods, she was finally accepted by another pack where she finds herself being mated to the pack Alpha again, she was given another chance to mate. She was blessed with another mate after being denounced by her past mates. Juliet was a good friend to her more like her sister, they were called siblings since the pack members said that they are always stuck together and their names begin with the letter **JU** Juliana has created a lot of pleasant and happy memories with Lucien, the Alpha of the bright moon pack which she was damn sure was going to be in her memory forever. Today was his coronation where he will be crowning the Alpha and he will also be allowed to announce his Luna.

"What surprise are you talking about?" Juliana asked her with a confused look as she jerked back to reality.

"Alpha Lucien said that he has a surprise for you," she said to her.

"Lucien said that he has a surprise for me!... But wait, how do you know?" Juliana asked her.

"I overheard him discussing that with his beta and gamma," Juliet responded nonchalantly. 

"What do you mean beta and gamma….. But none of them knew that he had found his mate except me and you," Juliana asked this time with suspicion.

"He didn't mention the person's name," Juliet said when chewing her apple.

"Then how do you know that the person was me?" Juliana asked with excitement.

"Don't get too excited dear before you ruin your makeup," Juliet teased her.

"Come on… what else did he say? Did he name the surprise? What if he wasn't talking about me? What if…….Juliana didn't get to finish before she was interrupted by an impatient Juliet.

"Hey Miss, calm down, he said he has a surprise for whoever that is going to be his mate and you are the mate so get ready for your tremendous surprise," Juliet said impatiently to her before exiting the room but not without waving to her with a small wicked smile across her lips.

Juliana narrowed her eyes, Juliet's actions surprised her. First, she was happy today unlike on other days, and secondly, she has never talked to her like this or even smiled at her like this either. She stands for some minutes but after thinking about it she just decided to let it slide and will ask Juliet the reason behind the sudden change in her attitude after the ceremony.

On the day that Lucien found out about him being mated to Juliana, they both decided to keep it secret and announce it today, being the day for Lucien's coronation as the future Alpha. Though it was Lucien's idea, Juliana doesn't know his reasons for that but she decided to play along, this is her fourth chance mate, and apparently might be her last.  She told Juliet about Lucien being her mate since she trusted and took her like her sister, her other blood. She never kept a secret from Juliet and her happiness didn't allow her to keep it away from Juliet either as she needed someone to share her good news with. 

She stares at herself once again in the mirror before exiting her room to the ceremonial place, she walks with elegance towards the back of the packhouse where the event will be taking place. As she walks men gawked at her, her beauty radiates more as the moonlight glows on her face, she walks with excitement and smiles plastered on her face. Grabbing a drink she moves to the middle, there was too much crowd as people came to watch Lucien crown the Alpha. Both those from the neighboring town and also different Alphas came to witness his coronation, for his pack is among the strongest around the American.

She kept getting heated stares from the men, both old and young, even the mateless and the mated ones. She stood there with confidence but she won't deny that her wolf's absence is giving her concerned and is fucking making her uneasy. She sips the content from the glass, she is standing nervously as she fears the outcome of what will happen today.

"You look beautiful," an old lady complimented her from behind.

"Thanks," she said cheerfully to the woman.

Juliana is one being in the universe that never loves herself, she hates herself for being too beautiful and always stands out in the public. She has always tried cutting her hair but each time she cuts it, it will grow longer than it was before. She wanted to look like other children even if she needed to be ugly, her beauty is not helping her as people despise her so much and girls don't feel relaxed around her and men only want to get to her pants. Her mysterious powers fear her to the bone as she doesn't know how to control them and why the moon goddess makes her life a living hell by giving her those gifts. She was termed a curse and she knows if she by any means that she looked different she would be walking freely like her fellow mates and might not have been rejected by her family or her mates. She has never been complimented before by anybody apart from Juliet and Lucien. And that's why their bonds are much stronger, Juliana has fallen crazily in love with Lucien and she obeys and tolerates everything that he does. They have dated for years since she stepped her foot into their pack.

The ceremony has begun, and Lucien has been called upon the stage by his father's beta who was going to crown him the Alpha since his father has died. The whole crowd cheered with happiness as Lucien walked toward the stage.

"Long live the Alpha….!" The crowd was seen cheering Lucien with happiness and satisfaction. Everyone surely wants Lucien as their Alpha and genuinely loves him for the way he carries himself along with the pack. Juliana with a smile stares at him with eyes full of love and longing.
