~Mordikai~

(Before Coronation)

I was back in my room with my father after the whole wet mutt incident. We continued to play poker when Serge and Diesel came to the door. Before they knocked on the door I yelled out to them.

"Come in!" I chuckled as they walked in.

"Having highly sensitive senses comes in handy." Diesel chuckled as he sat down

"Yeah, not in India though." I sighed as I threw down my royal flush to my father's straight.

"Damn it! You're cheating, I know it!" He fell back on the couch and groaned.

"Yeah. After the coronation, the first thing we should do tomorrow is talk to that warlock we captured about a month ago. I've been having people torture him while I've been busy with the whole thing with Amorelli's father and her going into a coma.

"We need to gather everyone again for the meeting. Everyone left after Amorelli went on her heat and after Maverick came. Which, by the way, we need to start training and have double the guards.

"I know. He's probably already got more rogues with him. I'm gonna have to start talking with my Allies again to make sure they'll be prepared in case he decides to take them out. Serge, can I count on you for getting your warriors and other strays started on training? Maybe go for the newly turned so you can train them and help them through the turn so that you can use the 'I helped you when no one would 'bit.'" I took a sip of whiskey after I said this.

"You're an awful person Mordikai."Serge chuckled as he drank some scotch.

"Count me in" He threw his head back as he drank the rest of his drink. I smirked and sighed.

"I'll make sure tomorrow after the party we have the guards doubled and the warriors being trained. Preferably in human form." Diesel said and I nodded.

"Could you also make sure that any paperwork I've missed is in my office ready for tomorrow morning? I plan on getting up early and start making calls and making sure everything is going fine between the packs. Is it true that two of my packs are trying to go to war?" I scoffed as Diesel nodded.

"Sadly yes. Something about land or about a mate of a rival alphas son. I don't know I only skimmed that sheet." After Diesel spoke, my father sat up.

"Aren't a few people from the packs supposed to come anyways to the coronation? Like representatives? You know, current alphas and Luna's, betas, and their children and their mates? Maybe we'll be able to determine who is fighting by their facial expressions." I looked at my father and nodded.

"That's a pretty good idea." The four of us continued to talk for a while until there was another knock on my door.

"Come in." It was one of the elders.

"Prince Mordikai, the coronation will be starting soon and we need you to be there first."

"Of course, I'll make my way over in a minute." The elder bowed and closed the door. I got up and stretched as I fixed myself in the mirror. Along with my suit, I was also wearing a fur cloak. It was definitely old fashion but it was a tradition.

"You look like a King, Mordikai." My father said as he stood behind me with a hand on my shoulder.

"Thank you, father. I just hope I'll be a good one." I sighed as I checked my watch.

"You will be." We gave each other a hug and I sighed.

"Alright, I will see you all in the ballroom." They agreed as I was leaving my room. I was very excited. On my way down I decided to talk to Comrade and Alistair.

'So, are you guys happy to be fathers? You each get your own kid.' I chuckled and Comrade was running around.

'I'm getting a son!'

'Easy tiger, you might get a girl.' Alistair chuckled at Comrade, I laughed after Comrade frowned.

'What? You don't want a princess you can spoil?' After I said that he got even more excited.

'Oh, my goddess! My little princess! Who do you think the pups will look like?' We all laughed and discussed our thoughts on the children. Alistair was pissing me off by saying Amorelli enjoyed sex better with him but I beg to differ. I ended the conversation as I reached the double doors and walked through, going to the small set of stairs.

Everyone bowed as I passed and it gave me great confidence. They trust me and they would do anything for me. After five minutes, I saw Zinniah, Serge, and Amorelli's family come in and sit down before the doors opened.

(Present)

I saw my parent's walk first. They looked happy again and I think everyone, for a brief moment, will be glad that their King and Queen are happily together once again. And in green. I then saw Mariana. Everyone awed when they saw her run down the aisle to get back to her grandmother. I looked in the crowd to find Zinniah and Serge wearing yellow. I chuckled to myself and focused on the door.

Then Amorelli came out with her mother and father. My jaw dropped as I saw her wearing the dress that the moon goddess herself wore. I guess that's why we are in red, and her parents are in the coral. It looked even better on her.

"Oh my goddess!"

"Is she wearing the first Luna's dress?"

"She looks beautiful!"

Everyone was muttering quietly and bowing their heads. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She smiled at me and when they reached the end of the aisle, her mother kissed her cheek and went to her family. Lynus, on the other hand, was escorted to the other side of the ballroom. I met Amorelli halfway and bowed to her. She smiled and did a curtsy. I grabbed her hand and kissed it as I lead her up the small set of stairs.

"Ladies and gentlemen let us begin." An elder said as everyone took their seats.

"Prince Mordikai. Princess Amorelli. You both are being given a privilege. Something that can easily be taken away with wrongdoings. However, with this new title and power, you will have many obstacles in your way. Not like you two don't already." The elder chuckled as did everyone else. I breathed a chuckled and the elder continued.

"Today is the day everyone has been waiting for. For Prince Mordikai to find his mate, and to become King of Russia. If you would please place your right hand on top of the crown." Father handed the crown to the elder and held it out in front of me.

"Mordikai. You will need to let out every wolf you have in order to accept the position of King. We will start with you." I nodded and waited for him to continue.

"Prince Mordikai York, do you solemnly swear to protect your country? To protect your pack? To protect your family and friends? To do no wrongs and start a new beginning?"

"I do." He nodded and I let Comrade take control. Amorelli squeezed my hand and as I looked at her I could tell she was proud and happy to see Comrade. I squeezed back and looked at the elder.

"Comrade, do you solemnly swear to protect your country? To protect your pack? To protect your family and friends? To do no wrongs and start a new beginning?"

"I do." You knew it was my wolf because of the tone of voice. It was deeper and gruff. He nodded again and I was pushed even farther as Alistair came up.

"Alistair, do you solemnly swear to protect your country? To protect your pack? To protect your family and friends? To do no wrongs and start a new beginning?"

"I do." Amorelli squeezed my hand again and when we looked she seemed excited to see Alistair as well.

She truly does love all of us.

'All yours.'

'Thank you.' I told Alistair as I came back. Everyone was then focused on Amorelli.

"Princess, please place your right hand on the crown." Mother came and gave her crown to the elder and he held it out in front of her. She placed her hand on the crown and waited.

"Princess Amorelli Agnelli, do you solemnly swear to protect your country? To protect your pack? To protect your family and friends? To do no wrongs and start a new beginning?"

"I do." Amorelli was speaking in a strong and confident voice. The elder smiled and gestured to the floor.

"Please kneel so we can place the crowns on your heads." We kneeled and took in a breath. The crowns were placed on both our heads at the same time. After a moment, we rose and turned to the crowd.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, your new King and Queen. King Mordikai and Queen Amorelli!" The crowd burst into cheers and whistles as we walked to our seats.

I'm finally King. And I have the perfect Queen.
