Novel & Cerita Rejected, Then Crowned

"Once the proud, untouchable Alpha Heir is legally stripped of her Vanguard alliance... once she steps onto the sacred, neutral territory of the summit grounds, Kaelen loses his legal right to defend her. She becomes a stateless, unprotected rogue." I leaned forward over the table, my voice dropping into a lethal, finalized hiss. "She thinks she is completely untouchable because she wears a Luna's heavy crown. But my elite assassins will already be embedded deep in the neutral shadows. They will slaughter her like a helpless sheep right there on the sacred stones, while her feral husband is legally forced to sit and watch. And when her blood pools on the floor... the continent will have abso

I needed to have my strength in order to think well and find a way out of my current situation. “When will the coronation take place?” She furrowed her brows. “You didn’t hear?” My frown deepened as I had no idea what it was that she was talking about. “What is it?” My lips were drawn in a thin line and with the way I was agitated, I almost shouted at her that couldn’t she see that I had been locked up here! “My lady, there will be no coronation! The council of Elders abd Alphas didn’t conclude on a single candidate. Most of them voted against Alpha Harold due to his errr…” she lowered her voice. “His curse.”

But I kept thinking of the fact that I was craving chips so badly. Time for the coronation reached. My cravings for chips vanished as a weighty emotion lodged in my throat I watched painfully as Jaris and Marta walked to the center of the stage, holding hands. They looked good together. I should be happy for them. The Chairman, Elders and every other Alpha surrounded them. Questions were asked, rites were performed. The whole process took close to an hour, yet nobody seemed bored. At long last, Jaris was crowned Grand King—King to every other Alpha.

I questioned him as I peered around Gideon. Narrowing his eyes at me, Cedric shook his head discreetly and growled, "No, Miss.” Wrapping his arm around my shoulders, Gideon and I faced the crowd. “ I will now place the crowns upon their heads,” Cedric announced and went before Gideon. “Cheers you old chap,” he said firmly while he placed the crown on top of my mate's head. Next, he stood before me and grinned. “Congratulations on capturing the heart of our assassin,” he said firmly and placed the smaller golden crown upon my head.

That was where he read out the oath from and Bran repeated after him all the way, promising to uphold the integrity of the Crescent pack and to protect us with all his might. "It is done." Father smiled proudly and rolled scroll, then he put it back on the tray that he had taken it from. Immediately, the maid holding that tray walked away as that part of the coronation was done. "Now, I will crown him." Father lifted his crown from his head and showed it to the crowd, eliciting screams and cheers from them. But as soon as he was about to put it on Bran's head, the ground began to rumble, causing the crown to fall to the floor.

I shrug. “He can’t do that,” Piper cries. “He is doing what he thinks is best for the pack, but rushing through the ceremony could destroy us,” I sigh. “If I don’t pick the right twin, it will ruin the pack.” “I thought you said Landon was the right twin to become the alpha.” Piper frowns. “We had two dates. It isn’t enough time to make such an enormous commitment.” “You don't have a choice. It's not like you can stay in here forever,” Piper states.

"King Alexander the First, Queen Lyra, and King-Consort Kieran, united in bond and purpose, crowned by ancient magic and the will of the people." The response is thunderous. Even Lord Harwick is on his feet applauding, and I see Lady Merrick dabbing at her eyes. The acceptance we've fought so hard to achieve finally feels real and lasting.

Grim grinned slightly and nodded. "Each of them make our existence much easier, remind them of that during your acceptance speech and they will love you," he said looking at me. I glanced up at him as his lips brushed my cheek. I breathed in deeply and approached the older gentleman holding a crown. He asked me if I accepted the crown and if I would become the queen of the reapers. I nodded and kneeled as he placed the crown on my head. I rose and walked regally towards the podium to address my subjects.

We can deceive the people but we could never deceive the goddess. A mating ceremony will come next after the welcome ceremony, and then the coronation will follow in a fortnight. The mating ceremony has to be done on a full moon when the moon is at its peak. Draven will be crowned king a fortnight after that, and he’d go ahead to crown me his luna. This became mandatory after what happened to the former king’s mate. She never wore the crown of the queen after her mate ascended the throne.
