Chapter 7

DAVINA’S POV

 

ONE WEEK LATER

 

Juanita, Cassy, Benedict, and Carla, were buzzing around in my room like busy bees. Juanita kept ordering them around strictly, I wanted to help but she blatantly refused.

 

They had been ordered by Tristan to deck me up, the order came from the alpha and nothing could change that.

 

"Cassy! My Goodness! Why is Davina's foot still bare, get the heels already." Juanita yelled at the cute looking made, my friend to be precise.

 

"Benedict, where are the hairpins I asked for 20 minutes ago…"

 

"Carla please don't get me started, we can't spend eternity on Davina makeup."Juanita kept ranting endlessly, the ladies groaned, going about their duties, and I laughed, finding it cute.

 

Juanita and Cassy were officially assigned to me three days after my arrival while Benedict and Carla were one of the most cheerful ladies I have ever met, they took away my sorrows and became my friends. They had come up to clean my room when they suddenly engrossed me in their conversation like I was an old friend.

 

They were all my good friends, but Juanita was still as strict as ever, I know she was only scared about Tristan finding out his Luna made friends with commoners, but I don't care, I am just a commoner as well, and there's nothing really special about me.

 

"When you become Luna in a few minutes from now, do us a favor and relieve Juanita of her duties. Lady is a pain in the ass." Carla whispered and we both chuckled lightly.

 

Yeah, it's my Coronation today, Tristan will be introducing me to the pack members as their Luna. I am so worried and nervous, I puke the moment Javier informed me. Embarrassing I know but at that moment nothing mattered other than my worry.

 

The ladies didn't know much about being a Luna, but they encouraged me, saying I would do great, with full awareness that it might not end up as said.

 

Tristan has been avoiding me for the past week. After what happened in my room, I never saw him again. At breakfast, lunch, and dinner, he would be absent. Sometimes I would be alone in that mighty room, my newly made friends were a big turn up for me.

 

Levy phoned me twice every day, I didn't fail to mention, I had my wolf, I told her about the ordeal and she threatened to deal with Ryan . Best friend for life.

 

"Done!"

 

I had no idea how long I spaced out, but Carla's voice brought me back to reality.

 

She stepped aside for me to view my face in the mirror, I looked amazing, more beautiful than I have ever been.

 

I also noticed my hair was done and my feet were now in a pair of Golden heels. Benedict's idea to look Golden for the Golden Stone pack.

 

I wore a Gold and white strapless Mermaid dress, which glittered under the light, Golden butterfly pins holding my hair in a tight bun, my makeup simple yet beautiful, I looked my best.

 

"Now who said this idea sucked." I turned to stare at the four ladies and everyone's eyes were directed to Juanita, she stared back at everyone and sighed.

 

"Fine I take my words back, Benedict you came up with such an amazing idea, and I love it." There was a bit of sarcasm in her tone, but all in all, I was ready to go, and ready to face the entire Golden Stone pack with lexie, the moon Goddess, Levy, and the four musketeers, I had nothing to fear.

 

"It's three musketeers, it's a legendary number, it's always been." Lexie groaned in my head.

 

"Who cares if it's three, I say four, and four it is," I replied in my mind.

 

"Already being a true Luna, I must commend." Lexie giggled while I smirked.

 

"Didn't notice," I replied and shut her out of my mind, it was time for the big finale.

 

Juanita, Cassy, and I got into the elevator. Benedict and Carla offered to use the stairs.

 

We stepped out of the elevator and met the hall empty, everyone was already waiting at the supposed hall.

 

I have been here for a week and stuck up in my room, I never got the chance to explore the pack house, but it wasn't late, and I had some companions, they wouldn't mind showing their Luna around.

 

Remember I said the pack house had palace-like buildings, well one of the buildings happened to be the coronation hall. 

 

My palm became sweaty as I arrived at the entrance and saw the crowd, my stomach churned painfully and I almost let out a puke.

 

I could hear Tristan addressing the large crowd and it worsened my situation.

 

"I know you all are eager to meet the new Luna of Golden Stone pack. Before that, I would like to describe a few features of this brave woman.

 

"The new Luna of Golden Stone pack is BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL.

 

"FEARLESS AND FAITHFUL

 

"CHARMING AND CONSISTENT

 

"and in conclusion is a LEADING LADY ready to take you, me, and the whole of Golden Stone pack to a greater height.

 

"Please welcome DAVINA CLIFFORD!" Tristan announced.

 

At this point I was alone, Juanita gave me a thumbs up and left to join the crowd.

 

I felt nervous but determined, Tristan and I may not be on good terms and his forged speech might have been for the people, but I felt like I wanted to be who he had described.

 

I finally put my days of training into use, I put on a stiff face, no laughter, no smile, no nervousness, no fear. I held my head up high and intertwined my fingers together like an elegant aristocrat.

 

Slowly I walked into the hall, eyes gawking at me but I ignored it, ill whispers were thrown at me in the worst way possible, but my head remained held high in glory, like I was a queen.

 

Eyes followed my every movement but I didn't falter, I just kept going with so much determination, it burned through my blood.

 

I climbed up the stairs of the podium and came face to face with Tristan, my heart didn't fail to skip a beat, I bowed in a respectful gesture.

 

I faced the crowd and then Tristan, steadily I went on one knee and bowed my head again.

 

I stared up at Tristan with my head still bowed, he looked dashing in his white Alpha Royal robe. His right hand laid on his chest and my coronation began.

 

"I Alpha Tristan Filipe of Golden Stone pack, hereby bestow the title of Golden Stone's Luna to Davina Clifford of Blood River pack," Tristan said and the cheers rang out, but I was more engrossed in the sudden wave of energy that flowed through my veins like blood, I felt stronger physically and emotionally, my nervousness vanished and nothing but courage was left.

 

Tristan outstretched his hand towards me and I held onto it and stood up, the cheers increased as I turned to address them.

 

"PEOPLE OF GOLDEN STONE PACK,IT IS OF GREAT HONOR THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THE PRIVILEGE TO BECOME YOUR LUNA. I SHALL USE THIS POWER BESTOWED UPON ME FOR THE GOOD OF THIS PACK AND TAKE IT TO GLORIOUS HIGHT ,I PROMISE TO DO MY VERY BEST AND MAKE YOU ALL PROUD OF YOUR CHOICE. THANK YOU. I bowed at the end of my speech and a loud cheer followed.

 

I smiled seeing the happy and relieved faces, they loved me, and I couldn't be happier. In the midst, I caught Tristan staring at me proudly, Sparks flew like fireworks but I controlled myself and made the people my main focus.

 

I got off the podium and approached a few eager members wanting to take pictures with me, most especially teenagers.

 

"You must feel on top of the world right?" I heard an unfamiliar voice behind me. I met black cold eyes staring right at me.

 

"What do you mean?" I asked the lady who appeared out of the blues spilling nonsense.

 

"Why do you ask that, or are you dumb that you couldn't get my question into your head ." Taken aback by her words, I decided to give her a piece of my mind, but Tristan’s intervention helped just fine.

 

"Bow to your Luna, show some respect, Candace." Tristan gritted.

 

The bitchy lady, Candace or whatever glared at me but still bent her head low, bowing to me.

 

"Rise!" I said and she did, a smirk was plastered on my face as Candace stormed off annoyed.

 

I tried to talk to Tristan ,but he left in a hurry and was nowhere to be seen again. I smiled, impressed with his current change.
