His Lycan
With our hands intertwined, I walk beside Jasper onto the lavished decorated stage.
Smiling happily, we look at each other. This is our big day, the moment when Jasper gets his birthright and crowns me his Queen. After Ralph, who is still officially the executive ruler. We walk to the Elders, following all rituals punctually.
And when Jasper is to receive the crown identical to Ralph's from Elder Nicolas, a young woman enters the stage. She is dressed in bright white dress, in her hand she holds an jar. Cautiously she looks at Jasper and bows her head. "My King, I am Xanne, the witch who bound your ancestor's Lycan to protect him. And I am here to free it to evolve in you," she declares in a high-pitched voice. Everyone freezes and stares at her until Elder Antony sobers up. He takes a step toward her. "I recognize you. I saw you often in the first Alpha of Storm Forest's packhouse. You were the old Alpha's nanny first and then you suddenly disappeared," he remembers. Xanne nods. "Yes, I had to be sure the Crown Prince was safe and the Alpha had kept his word. Fortunately, that was the case".
The witch steps in front of Jasper.
"Elders, please stand behind the King. The power of his Lycan will be strong first before it normalizes. It will come right through his ancestors to him," she explains. The Elders circle Jasper immediately. And when the woman slowly opens the pot, a hazy smoke comes out. It travels toward Jasper and disappears into his nostrils. The smoke clogs Jasper's airways, and breathing becomes difficult. And then he collapses, but the Elders manage to keep him standing. The witch utters some mantras and suddenly Jasper's eyes snap open. His eyeballs turn black and his head transforms like a crafted stone. "Receive your Lycan back, my King," Xanne speaks up loudly.
She beckons the Elder who now places the crown on his head.
A simmer of connection now passes through every Lycan worldwide, a sign that the ancient bloodline of the Lycan Royal has been restored. "And now the rites may proceed," Xanne instructs and leaves the stage. Elder Nicolas waits until everyone has recovered from their state of shock. Jasper clears his throat, controls his Lycan and shifts entirely to his human. In the midst of the jubilation of attendees, the Elder puts the crown on his head.
"Long live our King Jasper" is shouted from all sides. Then he grabs my hand and together we walk forward and bow. When we turn back, Ralph is standing there waiting for me. His face is tight as he holds out the words for me to repeat and finally puts the crown on my head. Again the crowd goes wild, they have waited a very long time for a Queen. Some had even given up on Ralph ever taking a mate. The Elder removes the crown from my head again and hands it to Jasper.
"Rain, today we are the Queen and King of this Kingdom. First, we were the Luna and Alpha of our pack, Storm Forest, but the Moon Goddess granted us an upgrade," he sheepishly explains and a fit of laughter erupts. "But you are not only the Queen of this Kingdom. You are my personal Queen, of my heart and of my life. I will continue to honor and protect you as long as I live and beyond. And when our pups are born, they will be living proof of our love," he declares solemnly.
Before ceremoniously putting the crown back on my head, he holds me tenderly and kisses me deeply.
I cling to him, this King is sacred to me. When the crown is on my head, the crowd is hoarse from shouting and there is a loud trumpet call. "Long live the Royal Queen of Werewolves," is hollered from all corners. And then Ralph takes my hand and leads me to my throne on his right. Jasper is pointed to the throne on Ralph's left by Elder Nicolas.
"Werewolf Kingdom, Werewolf packs, I present to you our two Kings and Queen of the Royal Kingdom. From today until the Moon Goddess so decrees, the Kingdom will have a three-headed leadership," the Elders exclaim together. The mind link to the Lycans opens for Jasper and me to join. Total chaos reigns in my mind. I clutch my head, fortunately soon able to close the wall to the Kingdom and keep it open only to Ralph, Jasper and the Elders.
We then get up to receive the good wishes.
First, the King-Father and Mother arrive to congratulate us. Alidya is eagerly waiting to take me in her arms. "You look beautiful in the dress. I think I won't have it altered yet for the next Queen," she chuckles and strokes my bulging belly for a moment. My parents, Rachel and Ruth, follow. Rachel is short, walking quickly over to Jasper who prevents her from hugging him. Elena falls around my neck and doesn't seem to want to let go of me. "Rain, you're awesome. Now I have a Queen as a friend. Everyone will envy me," she whispers in my ear. I laugh at her childishness, this girl never ceases to amaze me.
My joy knows no bounds when I see Perpetua, Esau and Peter arrive. Tears of happiness stream down my cheeks as I hug them. Of course, Peter can't resist teasing me. "Well Saray, now you are a real Queen and I don't have to heat any more water for you. Thank God," he exclaims dramatically. We all laugh at his idiocy.
The number of wolves shaking hands with us is immense, after an hour, I am so tired and have no more. Jasper comes to my side and pulls me against him. "Ralph, I think we should end the event. It's all too much for Rain," he whispers to the man. Ralph beckons to the Elder who happily announces that further compliments can be made online at the Royal Kingdom website since I must retire due to fatigue. Fortunately, this announcement finds understanding among those present.
Jasper takes me bridal style and carries me to our room.
