"I sure hope they're okay." Margaret whispered, pulling her jacket tighter around her body. The brisk October air sent cold chills up Salen's spine.

Celus sat across from the stranger who was now mated to his friend. She explained what had happened between her and Salen and why she was sent to his land."I was originally the mate to Darron. I don't understand how this happened." She looked at Brady in admiration."I don't know how th

Celus stood in nothing but a pair of shorts as he waited for Tax to join him in the entrance way. It was ten minutes until six, but he enjoyed showing up to things early.Celus pushed away the sound of his stomach growling as he bit into a bright red apple. The crunching sound covered up the exhausted feeling he had; the sleep he had gotten the night before only increasing the heavy feeling.

"Celus, honey. It's time to wake up." Mandry shook his shoulders, pulling him from his deep sleep.Celus groaned, looking over at the clock that rested on his end table. It read '11:50 p.m.'. He shot up and threw the blankets off his body, scrambling to his closet on the opposite side of the room.

It was the morning of Darron and Salen's mating ceremony, and Celus ran around like a mad man. He had been training non-stop for the past four days with Tax, and it was starting to take a tole on his body. This was going to be a three-day event. Today will be the introduction of the mating pair. Salen will be presented to the pack along with all the Alpha courts from surrounding packs. She will be dressed in white to symbolize purity of the soul, and is required to attend the ceremony barefoot. There will be a ball to help submerge her into the Luna position.

Celus stood in a black suit and tie next to Brady and the rest of his court. The ballroom was filled with Alphas and their mates, along with any guests they brought with them.Darron stood in the center of the dance floor, talking with nearby Alphas. His body was rigid as he did his best to ignore whatever the Alpha was saying to him. He was growing impatient and wanted to get the night over with.

Salen ran in though the back door to find Margaret. She rounded the corner, unaware of her surroundings when she crashed into someone’s chest. “What are you doing running around?” Darron growled, turning his attention away from his beta. “I-I” She stuttered, backing away slowly. Darron’s eyes zeroed in on the red mark now prominent on her neck.

The border was blocked by a row of men. Rowan slowed down to a stop, puffing out his chest and straightening his spine to show off his size, intimidating some of the wolves.Salen's father stepped forward with an unfamiliar man, both sharing the same sinister smile and clenched jaws."Well, it is nice of you to finally join us." The mysterious man sneered. "Brady, for a Beta you're not very smart." Brady cocked his head, side-eyeing Rowan who was growling lowly at the trespassers on his land. "A normal Beta that has to leave the land would at least tell his third in command. It was quite easy to breach your border with no one in charge." His ears dropped, now aware of how large his mistake was.'Leave my land now, and death will not follow.'Rowan snarled, lifting his lips to reveal his large canines. The man just chuckled, shaking his head."Now why would I do that? The whole reason I am here is to dispose of you." He shifted into an ashy b

Chaos erupted the moment Celus and Darron's father disappeared over the cliff. Salen's screams echoed through the trees, but the warriors were all focused on one fact; their Alpha was gone. Celus' pack turned to the traitors and attacked, only seeking their blood.Brady lifted Salen off the ground bridal style, desperate to get her away from the commotion. Her cries were hysterical, making his chest ache. He couldn't imagine the pain she was going through. He may have lost his best friend, but she lost her other half.Darron was running through the crowd of fighters, begging everyone to stop. His father no longer had a tight grip on his control, and he was desperate to get the bloodshed to be over. 'This is all my fault.' He thought, pulling men apart and searching for Salen, wanting nothing more than to beg for her forgiveness.He finally spotted her in the arms of Celus' beta, her arms tearing at his as she tried to go after her mate. Darron frowned,

Salen was a ball of nerves as she moved into the ballroom, attracting stares from their guests. Celus' uncle smiled proudly at her when she passed him near the stage. Being Celus' mate, she would be crowned once they were married; something that was in place as security for the Luna Queen title. She loved her mate more than anything, she just never expected something like this to happen to her. The royal advisor stepped onto the stage, silencing the crowd. "I want to thank you all so much for joining us on this exciting day. It is now time to crown our now monarch; a time to celebrate as this happens rarely in a lifetime." The guests cheered, excited to get a good glimpse at their future King. Saifya gave Salen a thumbs up and a bright smile, calming her racing heart and making her nerves start to retreat to the back of her mind. She stood next to Mandry who was aggressively wiping the tears of pride from her cheeks. This was Celus' big moment, and she wasn't

Tne next morning went by in a blur. Castle staff were busy helping Celus and Brady prepare for the ceremony. Salen was whisked away by Safiya to get dressed up together in her room.Celus was being bombarded with last minute knowledge from Landrews as the staff rushed to bring in two black suits; one for Celus, and the other for Brady. They also brought in the royal robe that had been passed down through generations. Every king that had been crowned in their monarchy had worn it all the way back to the first family.The robe was a royal blue color with white fur lining the outer trim. It had a large golden crown embroidered in the center along with the royal crest.Celus groaned as he took the suit into his arms and moved to the connected bathroom to change out of his shorts and long sleeve shirt.The suit was black with silver cufflings that had the golden crest engraved into them. It was paired with a plain white button-up shirt and matching black tie.

The decorating of the castle began after Landrews' announcement to his pack. Most were thrilled for their future under the new monarchy, and they believed he could do good for his people.Salen stood along Celus' side as he continued his training and learned anything that would be important for him before he took over. That included the names and locations of all of the packs and leaders that he would rule over.Celus ran his hand lightly over the worn map that draped over Landrews' desk. His pack title along with his sirname was printed in cursive ink over a large plot of land not far from the kingdom. He missed his home, but this would be good for all of them in the long run.Salen stepped forward and rested a calm and reassuring hand on his shoulder as they listened to Alpha Landrews ramble on about the history of each territory; from wars over land to the struggles of keeping and maintaining each leading family."The Alphas of every pack report monthl

Landrews requested the presence of Brady and Celus early the next morning. He was sitting in his office working on paperwork when they found him."You wanted to see us?" Celus asked with slight annoyance. He left Salen in their bed still fast asleep. She whined slightly when he had to leave her, but she eventually rolled over and started to snore slightly."Yes, come in and close the door behind you." Landrews waved, not looking up from his pages. Brady and Celus just shared a confused look before doing what he said.After a few minutes of silence, Brady leaned forward in the seat across from Landrews and cleared his throat. "Is-is something wrong?" He stuttered as he struggled to keep his confidence. Worry clouded his face as the Alpha King continued to work.Celus growled impatiently, catching both of their attention. "What's going on? I left my mate the morning after I proposed. She's going to be upset when she wakes up with me gone, and frankly

"Cheers to the happy couple!" Landrews announced, holding his glass of champagne in the air. When he said he was going to plan things, he really went overboard.He not only had the proposal planned, which they ended up not using, but he had a party waiting for them when they got back to the castle. Every member of the royal pack stood facing the entrance as they walked inside, cheering and congratulating them as they drank the champagne Landrews had sitting out on the counter."Come in, we have food and plenty to drink." Landrews rested his hand on Celus' back and led them through the crowd. He gave his guests friendly smiles and thanked them for coming as they neared the buffet table. "This is all for you, so eat up." He patted them both on the shoulder and turned to socialize.Celus gave Salen a weary look, which she returned with a shrug of her shoulders."This might be good for you. You can get to know your new members before your coronation." Celus s

Celus paced frantically as warriors rushed around him. Landrews had gotten a lot of men to help with the proposal as he wanted it to be a big thing for everyone.Celus' heart raced as he felt his hands begin to sweat. Proposing to Salen was huge, but the added anxiety of Brady and Landrews taking control made him want to pass out."Are you ready for this?" Brady asked from behind him. Celus shot him a glare and gripped his hands tightly in front of his chest."No." He wheezed. "This isn't what I wanted." Brady looked at him in confusion."What do you mean?" Celus gave him a dead panned look and motioned around him at all the crazy decorations that were being set up. Brady gave him a sly smile and tucked his head. He sighed and dropped the clipboard that was in his hand to his side. "I'm sorry. We went way too crazy.""You think?" Celus scoffed as he plopped down on a garden bench. "This is way too much." He sighed, holding his head in his hands.

Celus dismissed himself from Andrew and crossed the clearing to be by Salen's side. If Kristopher and Henry were planning something, he wanted to make sure she stayed safe in all of it. It wasn't her fault they were in this mess in the first place.Salen smiled wide when he got close to her. She reached down and took his hand as she continued her conversation with Suzanne.The birthday party ended shortly after that. Salen offered to help clean up, which meant Celus would be there, too.He helped pull down the tall decorations and carried the now folded dessert tables back to a storage room.The pack mothers were very thankful for his help, and watched him with a newly found interest. The way he held himself with confidence, but turned into a loving mate as soon as Salen came to his side.His serious expression that was plastered to his face as he continued to clean up fell to a warm smile when Salen went over to help him."You

One week of training had gone by, and Celus and Brady were improving rapidly. Fighting against Zachary and Elijah was now no problem for them, and the training uniforms became natural to wear."Today we are going to fit you for our actual armor. This is going to feel significantly heavier and more difficult to move in." Landrews announced as the four of them stood in front of him in the weapons room. "You did well with the training gear, rather quickly might I add, so I want you to get used to this new equipment." He reached up and pulled two sets of gear from the wall and tossed them to Celus and Brady.Brady held up the armor to himself with wide eyes. "This is a lot heavier." He shook it, listening to the clanking of the metal pieces.Celus slid the chestplate over his head, adjusting it into place. He clipped it together and began piecing the rest onto his body.Zachary and Elijah stood next to them with their armor already on. They helped them figure

While the guys were off training for the day, Salen made the decision to hang out with Suzanne from the other afternoon. She was busy baking in the kitchen with some of the chefs and other pack wives.Her face brightened when she spotted Salen walking into the room. "Salen!" She squealed, rushing over to hug her with as much strength as she could muster."Hey Suzanne!" Salen pulled back and gave her a friendly smile. "I thought maybe we could do something today! Celus is busy." She caught herself before she let slip where they really were."Of course! We are just baking cookies for the children. It's Xander's birthday today." She winked over to a little boy around the age of six that was tugging at his mother's pants."Mom! When are they going to be done?" He whined. His mother, a short stalky woman with short brown hair swatted him out of the kitchen."I told you!" She scolded. "I will let you know when they are done. Now go play with your friends
