The Crown

22 - Caden

The doors open and I couldn't help but let a smile fill my lips. If my feet weren't suppose to be glued to my spot to the left of the raised platform i would have rushed down the three steps and past the aisle to where Grace stood.

The glass stained windows allowed multiple colours to brighten the room and the one clear light came from the one we considered the full moon. A window dedicated to the Moon Goddess where a women with flowing silver hair and eyes closed knelt in a feild full of moon flowers. The full moon illumintating the scene where the light now landed on Grace making her seem ethreal and enchanted.

With a small encouraging smile I nodd to her as she looks at me for guidance.  Today would go smoothely and in an hour Grace would forever be my Queen.

As soon as Grace stepped foot inside the throne room the wolves attending rose and turned their body so that they were standing to face the aisle, getting a glimps of their Queen. Grace strode calmly by, her head heald high as she stared directly at me, her eyes roaming my body with a hint of amusement before her sapphire orbs fell on my emerald ones. I knew she was laughing at my outfit as I had to wear long leather black pants that hugged my leggs, a poofy white top with poofy sleves and the cape that flowed around my form. I looked like a character from Reign and i truely hated it.

My crown sat atop my head while the daignty one for grace sat on a pedestal, waiting to be placed on top of hers and I was excited. She had already prooven how amazing she was at being a leader and now nothing would stop it today.

Movement in the corner caught my attention and I saw the guards hold Audry in her place. I could see and feel the hatred coming off of that she wolf and - judging by her change in posture and the way her eyes moved to the exact spot - Grace felt it too.

It felt like eternity when Grace finally stood before me, the tension in her body relaxing as she looks towards the Priestess from the Moon Goddess temple. She would be the one to crown Grace and all I had to do was stand there and look pretty during the ceremony. The crowd sits down and the room falls into a silence of aniticipation and the three girls - Karina, Maddie and Amelia - chosen as Grace's hand maidens for the day stood in a semicircle at the base of the platform.

"Grace, formerly of Silver Birtch. You stand here to become the next Alpha Queen and rule the wolves who look to you for guidance and safety." The Priestess starts, her voice as powerful as my own but held an air of mystical powers in it.

"I do Priestess." Grace answers automatrically, bowing her head respectfully.

"Then kneel on the steps." The Priestess commands, motioning to the middle step as Grace lifts the front of her gown, climbing until she was knelt before us. It felt like the light from the full moon followed her but it had to have been from the stained glass window because it was noon. Even so I felt the Priestess stiffen before I saw a warm smile spread along her face.

[She is moon blessed.] The Priestess links me, shock washing over my body as I turn my head to see the eyes of the Moon Goddess in the glass open and staring directly at Grace.

What was going on.
