“Then in the name of the Moon Goddess, I crown you as Alpha Queen, Ann Nocturne,

ruler of the Kingdom of Veritas.” He announced loudly as he turned to the hall and

stepped aside, allowing Ann to step forward and make her way up the few steps that

lay between her and the throne.

Ann’s heart raced rapidly as she slowly, but deliberately placed one foot in front of the

other and Maeve danced excitedly in her head.

She had never expected to be taking this position so soon, and especially not while

her father was alive. An turned to cast her eyes across the room full of nobles in front

of her who had stood as she ascended the stairs. No sooner had her eyes landed on

them did they drop to their knees in respect, and as she took her rightful place on the

Throne of Selene, as one, they bared their necks in submission to her.

Maeve howled her delight inside of her as she allowed a small portion of her full

power as an Alpha female to ripple outwards from her very being, and prove once and

for all to any of the nobles that may have held doubts, that she did indeed have the

right to take this throne, and the ability to keep it on her own.

As Ann sat upon the throne, and the nobles filed past one by one, pledging their

support and allegiance to her whilst she ruled, she caught Adam’s proud gaze fixated

upon her.

Things would be even busier in her day to life from here on out.

Ann was well aware that not all of the nobles were sincere in their pledges, especially

after the whispers had started about her father’s personal affairs. She had a long way

to go in winning their genuine respect and admiration as she didn’t want her rule to be

one based on fear and submission.

As Adam ran the Dark Moon pack as a well-oiled machine that focused heavily on

inclusion and teamwork, that was how Ann envisioned her kingdom to be run and she

intended that her rule be widely known as one of transformation.

It would encounter heavy resistance at first, but she was hopeful that once they saw

the results and the turnaround in morale within the packs, that it would become the

norm.

The threat of war would only add to the complexities that she would face. nobody

could predict when the Excidium coven would make its next move and Ann needed

everyone to be on board when the time came.

“My daughter…” Leopold’s voice came, pulling her out of her thoughts.

Ann looked down at where her father stood with a mixture of pity and disgust. The

man standing before her was a shell of his former self and to look at him now, you

would never guess that he had been the ruling Alpha King only days before. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. I know it’s too late to make amends

for everything that you were put through, but I am and will always remain your father.”

“By blood, yes. You will remain my father only by blood. Beyond that, I cannot forgive

you for your crimes, your disloyalty, nor your weakness whilst leading our people.”

Ann answered coldly as he hung his head in shame before her.

“I’m sorry…” He mumbled miserably as Ann scoffed loudly.

“Sorry will not bring my mother back, nor wipe the pain of my childhood from my

memory. Beyond the official requirements that I am forced to engage with you, I do not

wish to see your face in my presence. Do I make myself clear?” Ann hissed quietly.

Leopold nodded glumly and when he lifted his eyes to gaze at her once more, she

saw nothing but misery reflected there.

With a dismissive wave of her hand, Leopold moved to the side and an elder

approached from her side with a soft smile.

With no more movement in front of her, Ann breathed a sigh of relief internally as she

realized that all of the necessary introductions had been made, and the only people

left within the grandiose hall were members of the Royal Enclave and the omega’s

that served them, Adam and her father.

“My Queen, it is time for you to introduce yourself officially to the public.” He said as

he gestured towards a large glass doorway that held a balcony beyond it.

“The announcement that an Alpha Queen will take the throne has drawn thousands

more than we expected.” He continued, chuckling lightly, “It has been centuries since

the last Alpha Queen was crowned in our kingdom, so as you can imagine, there are

many that are quite eager to see what all the fuss is about.”

Ann nodded and stood slowly, making her way to the doors, pausing just in front of

Adam, and offering her hand to him with a bright smile.

“I cannot introduce myself to the world, without my mate can I?”

Adam took hold of her hand and as they reached the doorway, and the doors were

thrown open by the two omega’s standing on either side, the loud chants and cheers

from below drifted up towards them.

Ann paused momentarily as a brief attack of self-doubt washed over her.

Would she be a good Queen and make the right decisions?

Would she be able to make the right decisions for her people and be able to lead

them safely through the war that she knew was stirring just beyond the horizon?

She had trained her whole life for this role but would all of that training have been in

vain?

But in her heart, she knew.

If she couldn’t lead them through this with the people that she had at her side.. then

who else could? Adam’s hand squeezed her own rea*s*suringly and she turned to him

with a smile.

“I’ll always be at your side, Ann. We can face this. Together.”

Ann smiled softly as he nudged her forward and she stepped through the doorway

and out onto the balcony as the air filled with cheers from below.

Adam was right.

They would get through this.

Together.
