2183 Words
The day of the Coronation arrived as fixed by Alpha king Kyaria. The royal pack was filled to be brim. Wolves of high status and Alphas from different packs were all in attendance. According to the wolves Law, the Coronation of the Luna Queen was scheduled for the night when the moon was full in the sky in respect to the Moon goddess. On the morning of the Coronation, Caleb had visited his daughter who was getting prepared for the Coronation. "Dad," Keisha called her father when she noticed him standing at the entrance of her room. "You look beautiful my daughter," Caleb complimented his daughter's look. Caleb wasn't wrong about his daughter's look because she looked like a different person. From her face that was caked up with cosmetics, her royal blue dress that glittered like gold, and blonde hair that was styled like a bun adorned with hair ornaments like a butterfly hair clip and pin. "You look like a queen," Caleb commented. Keisha smiled at her father and beckoned for him to sit beside her. Her mother, Tania was sitting by her right side while her lady in waiting Ashley and two other servants surrounded her. "Can these servants please excuse us," Caleb requested. Keisha nodded in response and sent an eye signal to Ashley who understood and walked out of the room with the servants. "My daughter is going to be Queen!" Tania exclaimed. "Yes, mother. I will be Queen tonight." Keisha smiled and adjusted her blue dress. "Is there anything the problem father?" Caleb heaved a deep sigh and placed his daughter's hand into his. "I just have a few things I'll need you to do for me." Keisha focused her attention on her father and wondered what he had to say. "I am listening Father." "It's about your duties as a Luna Queen," Caleb began. "I risked my pack for you to get that throne but even if you are crowned Queen of Wolves, the king still has a Mate who might be turned to be a Queen in the nearest future." Keisha frowned at the thought of Teresa becoming queen in the nearest future. She loved the Queen and wouldn't care removing all threats that comes her way. "I am not going to allow that," Keisha stated. "To avoid that, you need to find a way to get rid of her. The only way to win the king over and become a true Queen is to bear a child for the king. An heir that would take over the throne. " Keisha enclosed her other hand around her father's. "I am going to do all of that and as I have promised, I'll make sure you get a higher position and gain your status back," Keisha promised her father. "Thank you, my daughter. I knew I could trust you." Caleb gently pats his daughter's back. "Now let's get you prepared for your new position." He teased his daughter. Keisha burst into laughter and hugged her parent. "Thank you both. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ " you look beautiful Your highness," Patricia commented on Teresa's look as she stood in front of a standing mirror admiring the pink dress she wore. The dress was a mermaid dress and to Teresa, it's was the best thing she had ever worn in her entire life. "Don't call me that. You can call me Teresa I'm just a concubine." Teresa corrected Patricia but the latter refused to listen. "You are the king's concubine and calling you by your name is a disrespect. " Patricia bowed in respect. This time, Teresa didn't bother correcting Patricia. She continued to stare at herself in front of the mirror. Her hair was styled into curly hair by Patricia who also did her make-up. "One final touch," Patricia placed the veil on top of Teresa's head. "Now you look beautiful," Patricia commented. "Thank you," Teresa thanked her. Patricia had done her make-up and transformed her into a new person. Teresa couldn't believe she could ever look that nice. She suddenly remembered her parent and wished they could be there with her even though she was becoming a concubine. If her parent were to be alive, Teresa knew they would have supported her and if she needed to cry, she could turn to them. "Are you okay?" Patricia questioned as she noticed Teresa wiping her eyes. "You ruin your makeup." "I am sorry," Teresa sniffled. "It's just that I wished my parent could be here." She chuckled. "I miss them." "You can invite them to the castle," Patricia advised. Teresa smiled and shook her head. "They can't be here because they are dead." "Oh my!" Patricia bowed her head in apology. "I am sorry, your highness." "It's okay. You didn't know."Teresa responded. "When is the ceremony starting?" Teresa was already getting impatient. She wanted to be close to Kyaria again even if he never wanted her. "In four hours your highness." Teresa heaved a sigh and went to seat on her bed. Teresa couldn't help but imagine the thought of becoming a royal concubine in four hours. What was going to happen after the coronation? Will kyaria love her or will he continue to pretend she doesn't exist? All these thoughts filled Teresa's head and she hoped that her wishes would come to pass. She wanted the King's love. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ According to the wolves law in regards to the moon goddess, the party was done outside the castle in a large garden that could accommodate more than two thousands wolves. The garden was beautifully decorated with white lighting and flowers. There was a round table with a minimum of four chairs. The left side was meant for the alphas and their betas as the name of each of the pack was placed on each table while on the right side, The tables had no name tag. A stage was decorated for the royal family with a long glass table and the chairs behind it. Out of all the chairs, one stood out. The chair was meant for Kyaria as it was decorated with gemstones. "Hi, I am Anita, the royal announcer and this is Royal TV." A red-headed woman holding a mic waved to a cameraman and walked to the stage where the royal table and chairs were. She beckoned for the cameramen to move closer to her. "This is the royal table and very soon the King would be arriving shortly. Stay tuned. " The Alphas and the noble wolves were the first to arrive to the garden. Most of them took interviews from Anita, the royal reporter while some just went to their seats. The council of elders arrived afterwards and sat on the right side in the front row. While the Alphas, betas, gammas, and wolves of high ranking were all seated on the left side. The empty chairs with no tags were filled up with pack members of the Royal. "The royal family is here!" Two guards announced as they walked into the garden. Everyone all stood up as the royal family walked towards their seat. Gideon, dressed in a blue tuxedo held Tara's hand who was dressed in a white sleeveless short dress. They were the first to seat on their chairs followed by Icarius who wore a white tuxedo and by his side was Sally who was dressed in a red sequin dress. They took their seats and awaited the king. "The king is here!" Everyone remained standing as Kyaria walked into the garden accompanied by Five guards who were all dressed in a black tuxedo. Kyaria's outfit was outfit as the only thing he wore was a long red and black robe and a pair of black short. His chest were on display and as he walked towards his seat, everyone bowed their heads. Kyaria took his seat at the center of the table and bought his hands down signifying that everyone should seat down. "Let the ceremony proceed," He ordered and closed his eyes like he always does. "Right, your highness." Lee and his mate, Gal stood up from their seat and walked to the front of the garden. "Let's them in," they both said simultaneously. Back in Teresa's room, she played with her fingers and paced around her room waiting to be called. She wondered what could be going on outside her room. She only hoped that Kyaria haven't changed his mind. "Your highness," Patricia rushed into the room. "It's time," she smiled at her. Teresa heaved a deep sigh and took Patricia's hand as she was led outside her room into the garden. "The royal concubine to be is here!" Teresa presence was announced as she walked into the garden accompanied by Patricia. Everyone all turned their heads to look at her as she made her way to where Keisha was standing in front of the garden. With every step Teresa took, she hoped for the ground to swallow her as there were piercing eyes and fingers pointed at her. She wasn't used to be in the spotlight. "Your dress looks beautiful, perfect for a concubine." Teresa didn't know if Keisha was commenting on her dress or she was insulting her but she just smiled at her. "Begin," Kyaria ordered with his eyes still closed. Teresa wished he could opened his eyes and see how different she looks. "Let's us all rise for the Luna Queen as she takes her oath." Gal commanded. Everyone stood up except from Kyaria whose eyes were still closed. "Please, repeat after me." Gal referred to Keisha. "Yes." She answered. "I, Keisha Davinson accept my right as the Luna Queen. I promise to be kind to my people and not turn a deaf ear to their cries. I promise to fight for the entire wolves pack until my last breathe. I promised to support the Alpha king and perform my duty accordingly, so help me goddess." Keisha repeated each word after Gal. After the oath, Lee bought forward a knife that was used to Slashed Keisha's hand. Keisha winced when the blade made contact with her palm. "That's it!" Caleb announced. "Yeah," the wolves cheered for their new luna Queen. "It's time to Crown her as the queen." Sally walked towards lee and handed over to him a Tiara meant for the Queen. It's was a silver tiara designed with gemstones. Keisha smiled and closed her eyes to receive the Tiara on her head. This was her plan and it's was just starting. "Father, I hope you see that I am already making you proud." Keisha thought. "I hereby crown you Luna queen of the wolves," As Lee was about to placed the Tiara on Keisha's head, a lighting flashed in the sky and stuck him on the hand. The crown fell of his hand and landed at Teresa's feet. The wolves gasped and murmured amongst themselves. Kyaria eyes fluttered opened when he heard the noise from the wolves. They were all mumuring and it's was starting to pissed him off. "What is all the ruckus about?" He demande. "Your highness," Gal and Tara both said at the same time. "Hear me well, " Tara beat Gal to talking first. She closed her eyes and whispered some foreign language. When she was done, she opened her eyes and pointed to the moon. "The moon goddess is against this coronation." Gal scoffed and eyed Tara suspiciously. "May I ask why?" "Because keisha Davinson isn't the rightful owner." She announced and everyone gasped. "What nonsense!" Caleb shouted from the crowd. "Everyone knows that Keisha is to be Queen. Why are you saying nonsense?" "Nonsense!" Tara chuckled. "You just witnessed the lightning in the sky. If you crowned the wrong person, wolves will die. The land will dry up and it would be the end. " "Why are you making a fuss over a lightning? It's could be the rain." Lee shouted. "Why don't you try it again elder lee?" Tara implored. Lee cleared his throat and looked away. "This is supposed to be my coronation. If I am not crowned Queen, then who will!" Keisha yelled. Tara turned to face Teresa and pointed to her. "She is the real queen. " The murmuring started again. "How could that be possible? " "She is only an omega." "An omega rule over us. No way." Kyaria was infuriated by the news and the news about the changing of crown infuriated him more. "Enough!" He yelled and the garden went silence. "Stop! You already heard the oracle. Do as she had directed." "Your highness, this was not the plan." Caleb argued. "Go argue with the moon goddess," Kyaria said to him and sat on his chair. "Continue!" He shouted. "But your highness, their dress according to the law..." Gal argued. "I said continue!" Kyaria growled at her. "Yeah, " Gal nodded in agreement and began the oath all over again in which Teresa repeated after her. After the oath was taken, Teresa was crowned Queen. "I hereby crown Teresa Anderson as the Luna Queen and Keisha as the royal concubine."
