Theo’s P.O.V.
We all applauded wholeheartedly after Killian took an oath as our king. Crystal was not only clapping hard while jumping on her feet excitedly, making me both. happy and worried for her. She was still weak, and this much exhaustion could be dangerous for her, but happy because she wanted to see her brother ascend the throne.
Killian, then, marked Cynthia, accepting her as his mate, and the queen in front of the whole world. The whole hall was echoing the claps, making it thunderous. After that, Cynthia took her oath as the queen and ascended the throne with Killian. I was also happy for my friend, but I was happier for my mate. Killian and his parents wanted to announce Nelson’s status as the queen’s second mate, and Crystal’s status as the princess to the whole world tonight.
Crystal was still nervous about this, but this was now inevitable. She deserved to be known as the princess. The former king gestured us to take our seats after Killian and Cynthia sat down on the throne. Both Cynthia and Crystal were wearing the same designer gowns but in different colours.
“Now… I have something that I have kept a secret from all of you for a long time. This is about the former queen and about our long lost daughter,” Crystal’s dad announced in a calm tone. “Your daughter, my king?” someone asked in a confused tone. Crystal immediately held my hand tightly.
I intertwined our fingers immediately, trying to comfort her. Her palm was sweaty, indicating how nervous she was right now. “Yes, Alpha Arthur…..you heard me. right. All of us know that the queen was pregnant with our second child when she was kidnapped by the former vampire king. The queen gave birth to a daughter back then after escaping from his imprisonment but he captured her once again right after she gave birth, making her abandon her daughter,” he replied to Alpha Arthur in a calm tone, but paused when everyone presented in the hall gasped
aloud.
There were so many questions raised by so many people that made unable everyone to listen all of those questions. It was hard to believe but this was true. “It was our luck that the former beta and his mate of Blood Moon Pack rescued her before she was killed by any wild animal and raised her as their own daughter. We learned about her existence during the alpha ceremony of Alpha Adrian’s son, Adam. We wanted to share the news with everyone at that time, but her life was still in danger as Marcus was searching for her all those years.” The king continued
in the same tone.
“Blood Moon Pack’s former beta… You mean Crystal, my king?” someone exclaimed in excitement this time, making the king smile widely. “Yes.
everyone…our daughter, your princess, is Crystal Spears, the present Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack,” he answered in a prideful tone and looked at Crystal and me
this time.
“Stand up, my love…. this is your time to shine.” I whispered to Crystal in proud tone. She looked at me nervously but I gave her a curt nod, assuring her that everything would be okay. She passed a tight smile and slowly stood up. “Crystal… My love… please come here with your mate. The king asked her to go to her. I frowned because he also mentioned me.
I slowly stood up with Crystal and straightened my suit jacket before walking towards the throne where Crystal’s parents were standing right now. Crystal lowered her head as she didn’t want to look at anyone. There were so many whispered all around us. The whole world knew her as my mate and my Luna and it really shocked them to know her real identity.
I saw William smiling widely, and he gave me a thumbs up. I passed a tight smile to her. I was still holding Crystal’s hand tightly. We both stopped before her parents and bowed, showing our respect to them. “Rise, my child, you don’t need to bow in front of us,” her mother said in a loving tone. She raised her hand towards Crystal.
Crystal looked at me nervously and I once again gave her nod to go ahead. She slowly released my hand and took her mother’s hand. I stood up beside her father and looked both of them standing together in front of everyone. I looked around and saw shock and surprise on their faces. There was no doubt that Crystal was their daughter because she resembled her mother so much.
“Everyone…. Let me present you…. Your princess and my daughter…. Crystal Blakefield… A famous Luna who played a crucial role in our battle with the vampires and rogues in the past few months,” her mother announced in a proud tone. Everyone started clapping once again and this time it was deafening. I smiled proudly while looking all around.
“Theo,” her mother called me and I walked towards her. I stopped beside Crystal and she signaled us to looked towards the crowd. Both I and Crystal bowed in front of everyone, showing our respect and gratitude towards them.
“I would request to you all to please welcome my beloved daughter and her mate in the royal family,” Crystal’s father said in a loud and proud tone. Everyone

cheered once again while clapping hard. Crystal and I bowed one,more time and held our head high in front of them later. Crystal was still nervous but I felt confidence building up in her b*dy now.

“She really looks like the queen,” someone remarked, making me look at the mother–daughter once again. “Yeah… we didn’t recognize her at that time as queen was missing for almost eighteen years, and none of us noticed the similarities between Crystal and Killian during that ceremony,” someone said in a low tone while clapping, but it was loud enough for all of us to hear.
“This is where you really belong, my love,” I said to Crystal through mind–link to boost her confidence. “You are wrong about this, Theo,” she immediately replied to

After everyone stopped clapping, Crystal’s father signalled us to take our seats beside
After seat. I walked towards the seat with Crystal. “I am nervous for
Nelson. Will they welcome him just like they welcomed us?” she asked me in whispers. She was anxious and for a reason, I was anxious too. To make them understand the whole thing about the queen and Nelson, they had to tell everything that Crystal’s grandfather did to her mother and Nelson back then.
“Now….” There is one more thing that I, the former king, need to reveal to all of you,” he started in a calm voice, and Crystal’s anxiety peeked. “Relax, my love, no matter whether anyone accepts them or not… They are fated mates, and it can’t be changed. They are blessed by the Moon Goddess, and none of us is brave enough to question the Moon Goddess,” I tried to comfort Crystal through the mind link.
She didn’t answer but pursed her l*ps into a thin line. “As you all know that my mate, the former queen is originally from The Night Crawl Pack. Years ago, we heard a rumour that her father locked her for more than three month after her eighteenth birthday but didn’t know the real reason. He held a bad reputation and that was why no one questioned his action. However, the truth was that he wanted Katherine to reject her fated mate at that time as he was the beta’s son,” Kyson, Killian’s father paused and took a deep breath.
There were, once again, so many gasps around us. I glanced at the queen and saw her looking downwards. It was not something to be proud of. There were so many murmurs around us. Sometimes, being a werewolf is also a curse. We could clearly hear what they were saying right now. Most of them were cursing Katherine’s father for being so cruel towards her own daughter.
“Tam sorry to interrupt, my king, but I think that it’s really rude to badmouth

someone who is dead.” Someone said it in a calm tone, making me look in hist direction. I raised my brows when I saw Alpha Titus from The Night Shadow Pack standing there while looking at us with disdain.
Alpha Titus always had a problem with the Royal Pack, and I remember his relationship with The Night Lotus Pack. He was a good friend to the former alpha of that pack, Alpha Ruben. “I agree with
his cruelty, and don’t forget that he was Alpha Titus, but all of us know about
still my mate’s father, my father–in–law.”
King Kyson replied to him in a stern tone.
“Still you are bad–mouthing him for making us feel sympathy with Queen Catherine and forget about her ambiguous Relationship with Alpha Nelson?” Alpha Titus taunted King Kyson, making all of us lose our control. The next second, not only I and Crystal, but also Edward, Nelson, and Stella jumped off the stage while growling aloud in anger, shaking the whole throne room.
All we wanted right now was to rip Alpha Titus’s head off his b*dy for saying something so absurd about Queen Catherine. She was Crystal’s mother, of course, she was also a mother figure to me. “Everyone….. Calm down,” Killian roared, using his king’s authority on us. It had no impact on Crystal, but it made me stop to go further towards Alpha Titus.
I stopped Crystal too while wrapping my hands around her waist. “Calm down, my love… we will deal with him later.” I coaxed Crystal through our mind – link. “Let
go, Theo… I will kill him.” She tried to move away from my embrace, but I tightened my grip on her while shooting daggers on Alpha Titus through my eyes.

“So, Alpha Titus… You want to say that a werewolf can stand the pain of betrayal if his mate is involved in an ambiguous relationship (he stressed on this word) with another wolf let alone a king who can feel any emotions a hundred times more than an average wolf?” Killian questioned Alpha Titus in a calm tone, but everyone could feel his anger hidden in his voice.
“That… that’s not what I meant, my king,” Alpha Titus refuted while lowering his head in submission as Killian was still using his authority over him. “Then what do you really mean, huh? You are questioning not only my mother and her mates here but also you are questioning the decision of the Moon Goddess. Are you sure that you are powerful enough to question our goddess?” Killian asked him immediately, in an angry tone this time.
I scoffed in disdain and pulled Crystal back towards the stage. I saw Stella pulling Edward back but Nelson was still standing at the same spot while glaring at Alpha Titus. “Dad!” Crystal called him in a loud and clear voice. I smirked but didn’t look around, as I knew their reactions very well.
“Let’s go… they are no one to question your relationship with Mom. The Moon Goddess blessed you two to be fated mates. You don’t need anyone’s approval other than her,” Crystal said further in the same tone.
Nelson was still breathing heavily, but Crystal’s statement calmed him down a little. “Did you hear my sister, Alpha Titus? What do you want to say now? Do my parents still need your approval when they have The goddess‘ approval?” Killian asked Alpha Titus once again in an angry voice. I threw a gaze filled with disdain. towards Alpha Titus before retreating with Crystal.
I guess we needed to find a way to make Alpha Titus see his right place. There was no way that I would let him live a peaceful life after he insulted my parents–in- laws. I was sure that Crystal would find her mental peace after punishing him.
