COLES POV
The long-awaited day was finally here.
I was going to be coronated tonight .
I was scared, but nevertheless I was going to have the power.
A nagging feeling kept bothering me. All my friends had found their mates while I was here without one.
Maybe it was because Kylie was still 17.
Tonight, I expected to mate with her.
She was the perfect Luna for this pack.
Tall ,soft ,blonde haired ,blue eyes with beta blood. No one was powerful as her.
We had just finished breakfast when her twin sister came back.
We had all been childhood friends.
As a child I had thought I would marry her red air with golden brown stripes had always made her stand out.
At least that was what I had thought growing up. She was the prettiest girl to me.
When they had turned 16, I was there with them. Every 16-year-old shifted into a wolf .but for some reason hers never came.
Everyone started distancing themselves from her .
I did too.
Being weak in a pack meant death and that was a prize I was not willing to pay .
Over the years I had come to hate her. Kylie was everything I had thought she was .
“ Grandma is dead," she had announced timidly.
But everyone acted like it was a Monday morning.
She was old so it made sense to me .
“go and start preparations for your sister’s birthday and the coronation”’ her dad had dismissed her.
I felt bad.
It was her birthday too.
I knew for a fact that she wanted to celebrate her day.
Once I was crowned, I would free her and let her go and enjoy her life with fellow humans.
I spent the whole day practicing. I was tired .
The ceremony was going to begin in an hour, yet I was not ready.
My parents and younger brother were waiting for me.
I hurriedly dressed as I texted Max to be on the podium already.
The venue was as beautiful as ever, decorated with lilies and white roses.
They reminded me of Ellie .
Those were her favorite flowers.
She always picked them when we went out together.
I realized with horror that the whole day I had been thinking of her.
I scanned the crowd for familiar faces.
I’m lying I was searching for her.
But of course, she was nowhere to be found.
Kylie saw me and quickly latched on my arm.
She did not appear as attractive as the other days but that was beside the point.
She was going to be my Luna.
The coronation began shortly.
“I Damian Fletcher step down from my role as the alpha of silver moon and instead hand over the power bestowed to me by the elders and moon goddess to my son Cole fletcher” my dad declared.
He handed me the mantle and I could feel the power surging in my blood. My eyes glowed red. I could feel it.
My muscles tensed as my limbs elongated .
This was the height of power.
Once I found my mate it was going to be doubled.
I was now standing 6’7 tall from barely 5’11.
The same thing happened to max but not as intense as mine we were now officially the leaders.
Everyone moved towards the clearing in preparations for the full moon ceremony.
Food and drinks were served by the slaves.
Everyone seemed content at least.
The clock hit 11:50
That was kylie’s birthday.
Just 10 minutes away from the full moon.
I moved swiftly towards the center.
Her cake beautifully decorated laid on a table.
“ happy birthday love” I told her as I moved to kiss her.
Everyone cheered but my body seemed to stop functioning.
“no, my wolf cade howled’, “she is not ours.”
I grimaced .
She was the only girl I could mate with here.
“ What happened?” “Am I not your mate?” she asked clearly annoyed.
I ignored her as I smelt the most refreshing thing ever. The vanilla smell mixed with blueberry hit my nose strongly.
“mate “, Caden howled clearly overjoyed.
I scanned the crowd as I moved to find the person with the smell but it grew weaker.
But I was determined.
The moon goddess never made mistakes.
She had given me a mate and I was going to treasure her.
From a distance I could hear kylie screaming in frustration.
But that didn’t matter.
My mate mattered more.
At this point the smell was fade .
Its like they had disappeared.
I searched the crowds but no one smelt like her.
I was going crazy.
Max looked at me with concern
“ are you okay their mate”’ he asked as he caught up with me
“the moon ceremony is about to start ;you can’t miss it”
This agitated me further.
I wanted to participate in it with my mate but they sneaked away.
Max would not understand.
His mate was right here with him
my nerves were working on me .
I had to compose myself as I was supposed to guide everyone through the process.
By midnight all mature wolves including me shifted. My grey wolf stood taller just above my dad while the rest all appeared smaller.
The sounds of howling filled the air.
This is what we did every year to thank the moon goddess. The mates could also utilize this chance to mark their partner.
I was supposed to mark mine .
A dirty brown wolf made it way towards me.
Its pheromones were really strong which made it smell awful.
That could only mean one thing it was on heat and I wasn’t its mate.
I moved out of its way but for a reason it moved towards me.
It nudged my muzzle something which almost made me throw up.
“It's me kylie”’ it said once it realized I was backing down.
Damn, I had almost forgotten.
“ You are not my mate Kyle ‘’I have found my mate”.
“No , you are mine,” She replied as she put her head on my lower limbs.
Gasps erupted from the crowd.
Who is that? Everyone said in unison.
“Mine,” cade yelled.
A big white wolf with white streaks stood at the far end.
This was the biggest wolf I had ever seen. She was double my size .
