“We will give you some time to think about this while we welcome guests.” Said the elder, and they all stood up and left the throne room. Jake leaned back on his chair massaging his neck, this whole thing was stressing him out. Sandra reached out to him and held his hand. “Say something.” Jake sighed. “I don’t want to be king.” He said softly.“Why? You know what will happen if London ends up being king.” Chad asked horrified just by thinking of London being king. “I know what will happen if London becomes king, but I don’t want to be king.” He stood and went to stand facing the king’s chair. Sandra stood and went to stand behind him. “Why don’t you want to be king?” she asked.Jake did not turn to look at her and continued staring at the chair. “I have a pack to run and being king is not something I even dreamed of becoming.” He answered. “So, why did you want to stop London from being crowned king then?” Jake turned and looked at her as if he was insulted. “You should know the man L
They spent the whole day with preparations for the ceremony, the king and queen’s attire being prepared. The rituals being done and now it was the day of the crowning. Sandra did not feel nervous the previous day as they spent it between preparing the attires for the day and doing rituals then teaching her what a queen does.Only today were her nerves kicking in, not even when they were moved to the royal wing where the king and queen stayed did she feel nervous. She was tired and wanted to rest. But now everything was settling, and she could feel her insecurities and nerves come to life.Jake hugged her from behind. “Stop worrying, you will make the best queen they have ever had.” He said kissing her neck, and she turned to look at him with worry written on her face. “Jake I am human and about to be crowned as queen of the werewolves. They will think I am weak and not deserving of the crown.” She voiced her concerns.She tried to move away from Jake, but he held her in place. “You se
The drive back to the Sky Moon pack was a silent one. London was fuming with anger that he did not get to be a king like he wanted to. Melanie was feeling sorry for herself because now there was no way she was going to get rid of Sandra. She is queen now and it will be exceedingly difficult getting close to her.Shane was just quiet thinking of when he will ever find his mate in these conditions. The crowning ceremony was a good place for him to find his mate, but he did not even get to mingle and see if she was there. ‘Am sorry for taking so long to find you but I promise one day we will be together. Please keep yourself for me and be saved.’ Shane said in his mind hoping that by some miracle his mate will get his message.London’s phone rang, and he fished it out of his pocket and clicked his tongue when he saw the caller id. “What do you want?” the latter sighed on the other side; he knew he will be angry at him. “Am sorry things didn’t work according to plan.” The latter said then
The following morning the king and queen were woken up by their servants. They prepared their bathing water while they bathed. They made the bed and brought breakfast. By the time they got out of the bathroom wearing fluffy white robes, the bed was made and they set a small table with breakfast on the balcony of their room.“It will take a while to get used to this.” Said Sandra as she led the way to the balcony with Jake following behind. “You are going to have my queen because this is your life now.” Sandra took a seat. “I know” She glance at the servants that were nearby waiting for any order from them.“How does it feel being queen?” Sandra sighed, it has not settled in yet, it has only been a few hours since they have been crowned. “I do not know yet, it has only been a few hours. How do you feel about it?” the whole situation still felt surreal to Jake, he never thought he would be here today as king of the werewolves.“I still need time to adjust as well. It is a lot to take in
The smile on Chad’s face has disappeared and now he can feel he is in the presence of royalty. The aura around Jake after leaving that room was scaring even his gamma who has known him for years. His aura was different now, powerful, and scarier than anything he has ever seen.Jake was taking long strides going back to the throne room and when he got close, they opened the door for him. The elders inside lifted their heads to look at him, the man was more domineering than a few minutes ago when he felt the room. What happened? They wondered, but no one had the courage to ask. Not when he was so imposing.“Leave what you are doing and get me the files of everyone that works in the palace, and I want background checks on everyone. I want to know who their parents are where they grew up and went to school. Their friends, everything about everyone, and I need this as soon as possible.” He ordered, and the elders looked at each other wondering what is going on.“Is someone going to do some
“What are you doing here? I thought we agreed you will not come here until it has been done!” the general, London’s cousin whisper, yelled at him. Cold sweat drenched his back as he kept looking around to make sure no one was looking. London raised an eyebrow, looking at him.“Did I say I would not come, or I said get it done?” the general could not care less what he said, this was not the time for him to be seen with London, not when the king is now looking into everyone in the palace. “Look, you must leave. They cannot see me with you, and no one must know the relationship between us.”London frowned upon hearing that. No one knows they are related and even when they wanted to meet, they would meet outside of the palace. Why was his cousin suddenly worried? “What happened?” his cousin brought his focus back on him.“The king has launched an investigation, but I do not know what it is about. All I know is that he is looking into everyone in the palace, including the elders.” London l
“This steak is so nice and juicy.” She had her eyes closed, savoring the taste. Jake chuckled. “If you wanted a steak, you should have asked for it, instead of taking mine, but I am enjoying your chicken. It is quite tasty.” Said Jake, making the mm sound as the chews. “It might be tasty, but I am not giving the steak back,” she said and laughed at the expression Jake gave her.“How cruel of you, my queen.” Sandra laughed harder, looking at him, pouting like a child. But that laughter soon turned into an uncontrollable cough. Jake’s smile turned into a frown when he saw his queen struggling to breathe and coughing like that. “Help!” he called out as he went to her and took her in his arms.Her face was white as a sheet now and her eyes wide and red as she coughed. “Help!” Jake called out once again and guards came running. “Call a doctor, now!” he ordered, but when he turned to look at his queen. Sandra was limp in his arms; she was not moving, and it did not seem like she was breathi
Chad left to get the general, while Jake sent soldiers to get London. He was so angry at himself for not protecting his mate when he was told of the threat beforehand. But he did not think they will act so soon. Jake hurried out of the room, going to the room next to the throne room where he had people doing checks on everyone in the palace.The guard at the door greeted him, but he ignores him and pushed the door open with so much force. Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked in the door's direction. “Stop what you doing and do a background check on general Lewis and his relationship with alpha London of the Sky Moon Pack. I want that information within the next hour.”He ordered but did not wait for anyone to respond and left the room. “Keep the general in the cells until London gets here.” He sent a mind link to Chad. This was only his second day as king, and this happened. He knew London had not given up on being king, but he was naïve enough to think that he
