Power & Fire

My cheek tingled where Castiel kissed me, it felt like heaven. With her still in my arms I opened the car door and got in, closing the door after getting settled in with my mate in my lap. My wolf was as satisfied as I was and continued to check our mate for any injuries. "Jason you were the one who drove us here..." Ethan said in a 'duh' tone.

"And you will be the one driving us home..." I answered in the same tone. Everyone in the car turned to look at me with eyes wide open.

"Oh yeah, Axel you will be driving us home." I decided realizing how much of a mistake would it be if we let Ethan drive the car. Ethan pouted and handed Axel the keys in defeat making everyone in the car laugh. After a few minutes of small talk and silence we arrived the pack house, and my little mate had fallen asleep on me, I smiled at how precious she was, right now she looked like an angel.

While I carried her in my arms I looked behind to see William stirring up from his 'sleep', he looked around confused for a second and then realization finally fell upon him and he looked around panicked for Isabella but he quickly calmed down when he saw her sleeping in the car seat, without thinking twice he picked her and took her to the pack house, I checked that everything was in order before entering in the house myself, Castiel still in my arms. She must be exhausted. Kissing her forehead I closed the door behind me and made my way upstairs. "We will talk about this tomorrow, everyone go to rest it has been a tiring day for all of us." I stated using my Alpha tone. Everyone nodded and did as I said. Sighing I opened my bedroom's door and put my angel in my bed, I laid down beside her and turned off the light. When darkness engulfed us I pulled her closer and took in her relaxing scent.

Light hits my eyes and I lazily open them and when I do, I come face to face with the most beautiful view ever, my gorgeous mate was looking at me softly and smiling that beautiful smile of hers, her head resting on my chest, her eyes were still a little bit closed so I could tell that she woke up just a few seconds before me.

"Good morning." I greeted her snuzzling her hair with my nose. She giggled adorably at my action and greeted back.

"Good morning." She said cutely. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much but I couldn't help myself around this girl. I kissed her nose and she smiled before snuggling closer to under my chin. I sighed. This is heaven. And with that thought I let myself fall asleep again.

When I opened my eyes for the second time this morning, I felt cold and quickly got up. I looked around searching for Castiel and started panicking when I found no trace of her. I sprinted downstairs where everyone was having breakfast. "Where is Castiel?" I asked almost yelling.

"She went home, she had some stuff to do before starting to get ready for tonight." Isabella replied while munching on her eggs. A sense of relief washed over me, but a few seconds later a I broke into a cold sweat remembering that tonight I'll step on the throne and be declared King.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't nervous. Becoming a King comes with a lot of responsibility, and to be honest I'm afraid. I'm scared that I won't be a good Alpha King, millions of lives from tonight on will be in my hands and I don't know if I will be able to handle it. But I have faith, because I have my mate with me and she will for sure help me in every step of this new lifestyle.

"Sit down and eat Jason, you look like you are about to faint or something." Elijah said while pulling a chair out for me to sit. I mumbled a 'thanks' and started to eat. I looked around while pouring some orange juice on my glass and I locked eyes with William, memories from last afternoon came flying to my mind.

"So I think we should talk about what happened yesterday." I stated.

Silence.

Everyone went silent, the only noise that was heard was my chewing while I ate my toast. I looked pointedly at Isabella and she sighed.~

"So we were shopping, nothing weird in that, but then two guys came out of the nowhere and started to follow us everywhere. Every turn, every store, they would be there, right behind us." She started.

"When we were about to leave Castiel said that she needed to go to the bathroom, we both insisted to go with her but she refused, I decided to tell her that we were being followed and that would not be a good idea to split. To my surprise she told us that she already knew that we were being followed and used her Luna tone to order us to go to the car and leave her behind." William continued, guilt filling his eyes.

"We swear we tried to stop her Jason but we can't retaliate with her Luna tone. She told us that she would take care of it and ordered us to go to the car for safety." Isabella added. "She did take care of it though. When we were exiting the mall no one was following us anymore." William said.

"But then a guy came out of the nowhere and jumped on us, Will fought him, I remember him getting a busted lip and bruises and I remember screaming for help when I was injected with the sleeping dart. That's the weird part. We woke up with no bruises and no pain, even with werewolf healing it would take a while to regenerate because of the venom injected on us." Isabella finished.

"I remember feeling tingles on my injuries, I though that it was the blood drying but realized that they were the injuries healing." Will mumbled. Taking all the information in I nodded.

"I want you two to describe the men that were following you and answer some questions tomorrow. Today it's going to be a tiring day as well and I don't want any of you getting stressed over it." I stated.

It's 08:02 PM now, and I am already at the castle. The coronation starts at 09:30 PM since it's where the moon will be on point for the ceremony to start. Even though it's early, people are already coming in, at least 11 packs are already here including mine. I'm impatiently waiting for Castiel to come, because I can't stop pacing back and forth and making sure that everything is fine, only she is able to calm me down.

"Son don't stress over it, everything will go just fine." My father reassured while patting my back. My sister, Madison, was sitting besides my mom and they both looked beautiful. My mom was dressed in a dark blue Queen's official attire, with her high crown shining and standing proud, Madison was in an official attire as well with a yellow gown and she looked like the little Princess that she is. I smiled at them and my mom grinned at me and my sister gave me a forced smile knowing that we were in public and that she needed to act polite and strict. Mom took her medication to contain her disease for a few hours so she acted like the mom that I always knew and grew up with. The problem with those drugs were that after the effects wear out she blacks out completely for days and can damage her brain even more, so we always avoid giving her that. Suddenly the whole place went silent and gasps were heard. Everyone turned their heads to the main doors and I made my way towards them to check what was happening. People cleared out of my way with every step that I took and when I finally saw the reason behind all this euphoria I couldn't help but let myself gasp as well. There stood my beautiful angel with a blood red dress that made her look like an actual goddess. It hugged every perfect curve of hers and made her look dreamy. Her hair was pulled up in a hairstyle that I couldn't describe nor identify, but it sure looked beautiful and showed off her beautiful bare collar bone near the place where she will have my mark. On her neck there was a golden necklace with a golden rose. That was the symbol that was stamped on the bag that Maria retrieved from Castiel's father's office.

When she met my gaze she smiled and walked towards me and whispers started to fill the room. Every pair of eyes were set on us. I took her hand in mine and kissed it softly.

"You look absolutely stunning and beautiful, like a Goddess." I told her softly. She froze for a little bit but then her cheeks warmed as she blushed.

"Thank you, you look really stunning and handsome, like a God." She replied softly. I chuckled at her little joke and then kissed her on the forehead, making people stare at us with eyes wide open, but right now I don't care. I only cared for the beautiful girl that was right in front of me.

"Come with me, I want you to meet my parents." I said while grabbing her hand.
