Chapter 65
“I can’t believe it’s today”, Killian grinned.
Today was the coronation, an event that would bring in a lot of guests. Brian was happy to be alive to see this day considering all that he and Serah had passed through.
“It is. Look who’s going to be our Alpha now, Brian my man”, Jack grinned.
Brian chuckled, adjusting his jet black suit. He had the royal robe wrapped around the lower portion of the suit which distinguished him from other men who would also be on suits as tradition demands.
“I really can’t wait to see my mate”, Brian said.
He hadn’t seen Serah for over twenty four hours because it was considered a taboo for the groom to see his Luna for those few hours before they were officially crowned man and woman.
“She’ll be all yours as soon as this event is over”, Killian said.
“Yeah. Give me a round down of everything that’s been put in place”, Brian said.
“Okay. First, we have over a thousand security men on stand by coupled with a few of your father’s best snipers all taking strategic positions on the rooftop. Also, within the guests are plain clothed guards who would be keeping an eye on the guests here on the ground”, Jack said.
“Impressive. That’s very good, thank you very much”, Brian grinned.
“That’s not all, we employed the services of some rogue wolves”, Killian said
Upon hearing those words, Brian whipped his head around. He didn’t understand why they would bring in those miscreants who had made it their life duty to destroy everything that was good.
“I didn’t expect that”, Brian said.
“Yes we know but let’s be honest man, they have the best eyesight one could ever ask for”, Jack said.
“I agree but that’s what the other security men are here for. I really don’t see why we should have them here”, Brian said.
“Don’t sweat it man, they’ve been under a leash”, Killian said.
“Leash?. What does that mean?”, Brian said.
“Yes. They’re each wearing a special colour around their neck that keeps them in check, it also curbs their excesses when they’re about to go haywire”, Jack said.
“I can’t say I like it but I’ll just manage it based on what you’ve said”, Brian said.
“You’ll see, everything will go well man”, Killian said.
Just then, a loud bell was heard which signalled the beginning of the coronation. Brian walked out in company of his best friends who served as his personal guards for that day. Brian hated to admit it but he was feeling jittery even with the gun tucked secretly under his belt.
“You’re actually frightened man, stop it”, Jack said.
“I’m trying to but I can’t help it especially when I’ll be heading the whole five kingdoms soon. I really wonder how my dad did it”, Brian said.
“The same way you’re going to do it and even better”, a voice said.
The trio looked towards the direction of the voice and discovered it was the moon goddess who appeared in a ball of light.
They bowed immediately, paying reverence to her. Brian didn’t expect her after a very long time of her absence but he was glad she was here to give him all the motivation he needed.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Welcome moon goddess”, Brian said.
“Please, get up. All of you”, the moon goddess said.
They rose to their feet as they waited patiently for what she had to say. Brian knew she wasn’t just here for coming sake but was here to give them an important message.
“I’m very glad and proud of all of you for how far you’ve come. The challenges you all faced was a big task but above all, I’m thankful that you stuck together even when things grew a bit more difficult. There would be more challenges as they are part of our everyday life but I really want to implore you to never lose hope”, she said.
“Thank you moon goddess, we will adhere to all you have said”, Brian said.
“And to you Brian, you’re now the leader of the whole pack and a lot of responsibilities will be on you but never forget to hold your mate by your side in all your doings”, she said.
“I won’t forget this”, Brian said.
“I’ll be with you my children and remember to always call on me anytime you’re in need of help”, she said.
They watched her vanish into thin air as quietly as she came. Brian was greatful for her words and he vowed to hold her words to heart.
“I’m the moon goddess’s biggest fan”, Killian gushed.
“We all are”, Jack said.
They walked towards the building where the coronation would take place and they were quite surprised to see a lot of people already there.
“I see Benita giving you a wave”, Killian chuckled.
“I really wish I could send her out of here”, Brian said.
“Well, you can’t. She’s a pack member and it’s a taboo if you do”, Jack said.
“I know which makes it all the more complicated”, Brian said.
“You’ll learn to deal with it”, Killian chuckled.
He made his way over to the huge altar where he would say his vows while holding the big book of wolves. Brian knew that book was as sacred as the very building he stood. The building was used as a coronation house and this was where all the wolves of the past where coronated.
“Can we all be settled please”, an elder said.
Brian stood beside him as he faced the crowd. Wolves of different breeds and pack were all gathered but where all in their human form for fear of the government hunters raiding the building.
“Can the mate please be present”, the elder said.
Serah walked from the opposite direction. In all his life, Brian had never seen someone as beautiful as she was. As she walked towards him in her cream colored chiffon gown, Brian had the inkling that it was an angel who appeared before him.
“Hi”, Serah smiled.
They were together now, almost touching distance but Brian dared not touch her for fear of breaking the rules.
“When this ceremony is over, I want you to remain in this dress”, he said.
“Why?”, Serah asked.
“Because I’m going to fuck you in it”, Brian said.
Serah giggled, covering it with a light cough. The elder looked at her with a hint of amusement on his face. Serah tried to look innocent but she knew she failed as the elder smiled before facing the crowd.
“Now that we have all parties involved, let the coronation begin”, he boomed.
