Chapter 42 The Coronation
It was morning and the two lovebirds awoke to the sound of the howling. The group of special wolves kind of like a choir to alert the tribes that the coronation was upon us. Luca's grandfather and the elder were already busy overseeing the preparations in the great hall. Some maids knocked on Luca's door and were given permission to enter. They served Luca and Luna breakfast in bed and asked Them to meet them in the preparation rooms.
Obviously, it was going to be a busy day. Today was the day that luca would assume the throne. The day that her mate becomes King. Who knew that her destiny was to be this important. Growing up she was always marginal. Never in a million years did she ever guess that she would be lying half naked in bed with a prince who loved her awaiting his ascent to king.
Luca held her in an embrace and kissed her right in front of the servers. She felt a bit embarrassed, but she loved it. He was not ashamed of her. He really loved her, and it looks like he wanted the world to know. She welcomed his kisses and kissed him back. “Well, that I have to say is the best wake up I've ever had.” He said to her. She smiled back at him. “Well, I'm glad I didn’t disappoint.”
The two of them had breakfast together and enjoyed each other's company. The discussed the wedding and decided to marry immediately after the Coronation. “I know that I said that I wanted to wait but I don't think that I can wait to long to be with you and you don't make it easy on a guy.” He smiled coquettishly. She got off the bed and got into her clothes and one of his shirts as she clearly remembered her begging him to rip her clothes off. Luna blushed at her boldness and took her leave from him and headed to the rooms where the maids had asked them to be.
Luna walked into the room, and it was well adorned with gold furniture. Not a spec of dust was to be seen. The focal point of the room was a beautiful ball gown next to the dressing table. She walked up to it and smiled. She opened up the bag and admired the gown. She was interrupted by a woman that she'd only met once before. She was the beautician that was sent to do her hair and nails on the night of the ball. “Hi, I'm so sorry to startle you but I'm here to do your nails and later someone else will come do your makeup and hair to prepare you for the Coronation” she said.
Luna smiled at the young lady and sat down on the chair. “You didn't startle me I was just admiring the dress. It's perfect. Whoever picked it did a great job. I absolutely love it.” She replied. She took a seat at the spa like station in the far end of the room. She sat and admired the beautiful work that she did with her nails. She enjoyed it as it had been forever since she'd even had the time to have her nails done. She looked around at the room and realized that there was still a lot that she didn't know about the palace. After all she had not been given the grand tour.
She sat there conversing with the beautician for a little over an hour until she finished and left. Luna left to have a bite to eat and take a shower. After her bath she went out for a walk and was surprised to see the maids heading to a part of the palace that she had never been to before. She followed them and the path led her to a huge building. It was ancient looking but very well maintained. The yard was full of beautiful flowers in the most beautiful garden she ever saw. She marveled at the beauty of the place.
She walked up to the entrance, and it opened up to a huge cathedral like room adorned in gold and glitter. It had been exquisitely decorated. It was the most beautiful thing that she had ever seen. Luca's grand father and the old lady from the old library was there. They welcomed her and showed her to her seat. The old lady told the old king that luca and Luna were to be married at the soonest.
She bowed down to Luna called her goddess. That was weird but she was strange. She just smiled and went back to finish getting ready for the coronation. Luca's grand father and the old Lady were already dressed. The ushers were taking their places. She went back to the room to finish her makeup and hair. The hairdresser and cosmetologists were already waiting. She greeted them and took a seat. If she was getting all this attention, she wondered how Luca was doing. He must have so many more persons dressing him up than I do. She thought to herself smiling. She looked at herself in the huge mirror after they were done and barely recognized herself. She did look like something out of this word. “Guess that's why she called me goddess. I do look like one.” She said to herself. She went over to get her dress and shoes on, and someone came to help her with her jewelry and escort her to the coronation center.
They headed over there on a cart and the ushers took her to her seat next to the old king. She felt important. She felt accepted. She wondered whether being chosen as a mate gave someone such respect. As she sat the ceremony began and Luca walked in looking so damn handsome. He wasn't the young 18-year-old kid anymore. He looked like a man, he was huge, strong and had an air about him that commanded respect. He walked up to the front and a chant was done by the Old Lady and he was crowned.
Everyone bowed down to him. He walked up to her, took her hand and brought her up to the front to stand next to him and there, he announced that she was his mate and that they were to be wed soon. “Unfortunately, my father was to make this announcement but his time with us was cut short and did not permit. She will be my queen and will help protect our tribes. I ask that you welcome her and treat her as you would me.” Luna was surprised. Cat was out of the bag. It was a great ceremony.
