She Cried Wolf (OLD)

~One year later~

~Ashley~

I stand staring at my reflection in the full-length mirror. The strapless blue gown hugging my body perfectly. I admire the silver sparkles sprinkled throughout the fabric. My long hair falls in perfect curls down my back. Makeup done perfectly. My mark is on full display.

Today marks not only my nineteenth birthday but also my coronation day. The day that I become Queen of All werewolves. In the past year, I have trained to become the best queen I could possibly be.

I can’t say I’m not nervous, because I definitely am. Being Queen is a big deal. But I no longer doubt myself or break out in panic when I have to speak in front of people. A soft knock sounds on my door breaking me from my thoughts. Hannah and Chelsey stand in the doorway sending me encouraging smiles. I give them a smile back. “You are so lucky that you get to live here!” Hannah sighs as we walk down the hallway. I look around as can’t help but giggle dreamily. About six months ago Jackson and most of the Cresent Moon pack relocated to Italy where the Royals are required to live. Not that I’m complaining because it’s literally a castle. Complete with a full staff. “You know you’ll probably be here every day. Plus you have your own room so you can stay whenever you want.” I remind the girls.

When we finally arrive at the giant wood door of the ballroom I smile softly at the girl waiting for us. I walk up and give her a hug. “I’m so glad you could make it Sydney!” I whisper in her ear. She wrings her hands nervously and smooths her dress. When the whole thing with Harry went down the council wanted to exile her, forcing her to go rogue. But the only way I could move on from what happened was to forgive her. I’ll never understand why she did what she did But I’d never force anyone to go rogue. Jackson on the other hand wanted to kill her. She was however banished from the pack and became a Lone wolf.

The giant doors open and Daniel walks out, stopping any conversation. He grins at me. “Are you ready Principessa?” He asks cheerily. I nod and the girls scurry in the room to find their mates and Sydney finds her seat. Daniel and I walk arm in arm to the stage set up at the front of the room. He gives a speech and my eyes tear up at his kind words. He places a crown on my head and announces and I take a breath before facing the room of people. “My name is Principessa Ashley-Hazle Winters...”
