Michaels POV
Things are finally falling into place. Our bond is getting stronger every day, and there have been no disturbance or attacks from the rogues since all their leaders were arrested and hanged.
I had personally supervised their hanging, making sure there were no more surprises. Smith has evaded dad for more than twenty-two years, I’m not letting him out of my sight. I won’t let him make a fool out of me, again.
Falcon is still a little sad because Phoenix is still trying to regain her power after she was poisoned by those maniacs.
Damn!
It had given me quite a scare when the doctors had said that Phoenix would not survive because she had taken in too much poison. But then she had surprised us when she finally got back up. I guess it’s true when they said that Phoenix always rises from the ashes.
If a Phoenix always rises from the ashes, why the hell should I be scared when I’ve got a Phoenix with superpowers, I have absolutely nothing to worry about because my mate is blessed by the moon goddess. She only needs time to master her gifts and learn to use them. If only she had not been forced to suppress her wolf, am sure she would have had enough time to develop a strong bond with her and she would have mastered her powers perfectly well. But it’s never too late to get it done, we still have our whole lives ahead of us.
It’s my birthday today. Dad finally forgave me for trying to betray him, Gosh! I was so stupid to believe that my father was a villain, what the hell was I even thinking?
Anyways, that’s all behind us now. Today is not just my birthday, it’s also the day I ascend the throne with my queen by my side.
Dad is stepping down today and Arabella and I would finally be crowned as King and Queen of all wolves. I think we might be close to fulfilling our destiny, I mean, we did unite our people, right?
The evil rogue leaders have been executed and the rogues have been fixed in separate packs. All that’s left now is to make sure everyone is satisfied with our laws, that way, they will never be deceived into believing that they are being cheated.
Alpha Smith had indeed stirred up the rebellion, but the fact remains that my father’s rules are a bit strict on the wolves, that is why the wolves were eager to believe his lies and join in his rebellion.
After we get the crowns, we’ll work together to change some of my father’s laws, we’ll make it flexible to favor everyone. I have so many plans already, I’ll make sure we turn things around for everyone.
As I stood by the entrance to the banquet hall waiting for her, I could help the smile that spread across my face when I think about the surprise that I have planned for her. Am sure she would love it.
Alice had gone to get her, I really can’t wait to walk up to the king’s throne and get crowned, then I can carry out my first duty as King, do you want to know what my first duty as King would be?
Sorry, I can’t tell you that yet, it’s a surprise. What makes you think I am going to tell you about the surprise when I haven’t even told my mate, Arabella?
Jeez, Get a grip on yourself, please.
Don’t worry, you’ll soon find out about it, it’s not really a secret, it’s just a small surprise. I know I should be the one getting a gift, seeing as it is my birthday, but I just want to do this for her, I just have to.
I watched as she walked towards me with a warm smile plastered on her face. She is dressed in a royal blue off-the-shoulder ball gown that’s sweeping the floor. The v-cut opening in front of her gown shows a little cleavage, making her look gorgeous and enchanting.
“Stop drooling, man, she is all yours, remember?” Brian teased jokingly, as they both burst into laughter, teasing me as I gawked at my beautiful mate. I totally forgot about them. As the king is stepping down, his second and third in command would be stepping down with him, which means that Brian and Derek would be taking their place as my second and third in command.
“Damn, you look amazing cupcake,” I let out in a whisper when she finally got to where I stood, causing her to giggle softly as a blush spread across her face.
“You ain’t looking bad yourself, You look stunning my love.” she responded with a smile, looking up into my eyes as she locked her arms with mine.
I could feel a slight tine when our skin made contact, this could only mean that Phoenix is getting stronger every day. Falcon can also sense her presence, which is why he is howling and wagging his tail happily. For a long time now, we couldn’t sense her presence because of the poison she ingested. Although our wolves could feel each other, our love never wavered, instead, our bond kept getting stronger every day.
We were still waiting for Celine and Josephine to arrive at the banquet hall. The guys arrived a bit earlier. They were not allowed to move into the palace until after our coronation. Like I said earlier, some of my father’s laws need to be changed.
Their absence in the palace had made Bella so lonely, seeing as my bratty sis and that douchbag she calls her mate, wouldn’t play nice with anyone. Erica keeps giving Bella a hard time, acting like a jealous bitch to her. That guy is such a bad influence on her, he is too ambitious and it’s rubbing off on her.
She wasn’t this way before she got mated to him. I still believe that he is not her true mate, he must have used the bonding spell on my sister, they are just too different from each other. The moon goddess gives us a mate that we have something in common, someone compatible, not someone that’s the complete opposite of who we are.
That guy is not really my sister’s mate and one day, when everything is all settled, I will find a way to expose his lies. He has infected her with his greed and ambition, making her hate me because I finally found my mate and we are going to be crowned king and queen of all wolves.
My sister never called me while I was away, and when I came back, she never checked on me, even when I was having issues with my dad. That’s how much she hates me. Good thing I found my mate on time, I would hate for them to take the throne from me, they would never rule our people well.
After some minutes, Celine and Josephine arrived in their beautiful ball gowns, looking so damn beautiful. Now I know why it took them so long to get here.
After a little exchange of pleasantries, we were soon walking into the banquet hall, with our arms locked around our mates. It’s going to be a remarkable day.
